The CCC has changed so many times over the years and then the MPC 3A came along when those schools moved up to 3A. It has been spread all over the place with mostly Davidson County but occasionally had Forsyth, Iredell, Moore, Guilford, Randolph and Rowan County schools in it. The old YVC and Central Tarheel has evolved many times also. Will be fun to see where all these teams end up and how many splits we see.
My realignment proposal
- Thread starter SimmonsRatings
- Start date
When ya think 'bout it, them YVC and Central Tarheel changes show how schools gotta roll with the flow of what's poppin' in their neighborhoods and sports setups.
I feel sure you're correct, Mister Davis, but since those conference reflections/refractions were over fifty years ago, I feel super Blessed to remember anydamnthang. Mrs. Elizabeth Reed of Macon, Georgia , had a great memory, reciting Georgia Bulldog football scores of years gone past, and also of Mercer University basketball scores.
And I, for one, appreciate your musical interludes. More music, less politics, should be the motto of NC Preps. To be honest, wasn’t my memory. Had to look it up.
And that should be on the crest of anyone over the age of fifty…😂😂😂
Now that the first draft is out, I will be considering some of what they did and making some changes and will put out a second draft soon. I like that they tried to make no conferences with 4 classes.
As for Trinity and Wheatmore, I show that is about an hour to Northwood, which is not terrible.
I now only have West Iredell in one conference, which is not the one most wanted.

Why in world place West Iredell in a conference where road games are twice 5he distance of the 4A schools in their backyard??? Bunker Hill, Bandys, Newton, Maiden, all in their backyard.
I don't know how much this needs to be updated to account for that Jones Senior announced that they will have 11-man football this year which is exciting.
Jones Senior bringing back 11-man football in 2025
The Trojans opted to play 8-man ball in the 2024 season.

Just completed my 3rd draft - made a lot of changes in western NC and a few others elsewhere.

Some good changes. Anyone think this may be how the final draft looks on Monday?
It looks good! The only change I can see for the west would be take N-C and Maiden out of the conference you've got them in and put them back in with the other 4A Catawba County schools. You go from the first being an eight-team conference and the latter being six teams, to the first being six and the latter being eight, so no big deal.
Not a fan of the 3A/4A combo that Simmons estimated Tville to go into. Tville sports overall are on the downward trend and that league would be brutal to them in the secondary sports. Not sure they will compete very good in football or basketball either. N and S Stokes are supposedly seeking a closer alignment with the other Stokes/Surry/Yadkin/Alleghany schools. C Central does not want to be in that long travel league (except football). Nobody in that league wants Bishop. Not about football as much as it is about the basketball and secondary sports. Once again, S Davidson, C Central and N Stokes the outlier very small 1A schools may get stuck like chuck in a league that is not competitive. We will see Monday.
