NCHSAA News is Coming...

[killa_15]

...through the rumor mill...later this week or early next week an announcement will be made of how the NCHSAA WILL MOVE FORWARD with athletics barring anything crazy in sickness and politics.

The seasons may not be "Traditional Schedule" but the good news is the kids will hopefully have a chance to play this school year. So when you see the projected seasons/schedules, don't throw a fit, complain, wish for more/less games, longer/shorter season, etc. Be Happy that everything hasn't been cancelled.

I'm excited about even having a conversation that football games can still take place!

In the meantime...pray for our coaches, teachers, administrators, students, and support staff. It's uncharted territory for them all.

Today at 2PM the NCHSAA will have a press conference where they once again will show there is no leadership and no one wants to make a decision.

I hope Im wrong

One thing is for sure...the same people who have been blasting Tucker and the NCHSAA for not making a quick decision will be the same ones who will complain that whatever decision is made is lousy, dumb, unfair, or connected to politics in some way.

Some type of season is better than no season at all. My son is a senior and as much as he would love to play a full season and I would like to watch him something is better than nothing.

From a source:


* No official/required sports practices or team tryouts before Nov 4
* All seasons will be shortened with fewer games allowed (7 FB games, 14 in most other sports)

This is a joke right? Starting with that November 4th start date.

No way football will play Feb 8 to April 9. Easter is April 4th. Too many conflicts with spring breaks.

 

[tarheel fan1]

A lot better than nothing

 

[SWO-WA]

Is it official yet?

well i guess Junior might have to skip out on a week of drinking at Myrtle Beach if he wants to play ball

 

[Darkhorse#34]

Better than nothing atleast these seniors get to have a season. Im not complaining

 

[Frank Lost Password]

Football officially moved to Feb-April

Practice starts Feb 8... and last game is April 9

guess no playoffs?

 

[beamer24]

Football officially moved to Feb-April

Games start the 26th, and end April 9

7 total weeks.... I guess no playoffs?

Tucker said there would be some type of playoffs it just wasn't announced yet.

Cool I just saw the total schedule and it didnt mention playoffs.

 

[SHS LION]

Ridiculous. Start in coldest part of winter. Kids don’t want to get hurt before college. Ridiculous

 

[Lawn12Dog]

Well the pink elephant is out of the room finally . We all knew this was coming . So good bball teams could run late in to football. Is this with or without fans ? Does anyone know?

Im sure there have been plenty of football recruits that played their spring sports seasons before.

 

[SWO-WA]

Cold weather football!

 

[84k]

Just throwing this out there. What about playing on Saturday around 12 or 1 so it wouldn't be so cold.

Helluva idea. Especially coming from a guy who works Friday nights.

that might interfere with watching Big 10 football LOL

Im all for that. Day games might be pretty neat

 

[tarheel fan1]

I wonder will schedules be different? Obviously in Reidsvilles case we will play conference games. But I would think the county games may not be able to be played, so I wonder if we can get some different non conf games in.

 

[SWO-WA]

Top teams may change significantly if top players opt to enroll in college for the spring semester

 

[SHS LION]

I can’t wait to go the Mitchell vs Avery game. I bet every sport starts after the election.

 

[foreverlion]

The switch will flip November 4.

All you guys worrying about cold weather must be a bunch of wimps. Football was made for cold weather. Where are my mountain posters? I know the cold don't bother you guys. Teams that run the spread and throw the ball all over the field, y'all are going to have a problem possibly.
Hand it to the fullback, toss it to a wingback or let the quarterback keep. That's the best way to handle cold weather. I've been to Smokey Mountain High School when the temperature was in the mid twenties and the wind blowing ten to fifteen mph. I've been to Hibriten High School when it was in the teens. Quit bitchin, play ball.
SHS Lion, nobody making your kids play. If they are skeered, they can stay home with momma.

 

[97Cougar]

I know the kids at Mountain Heritage are just happy to play, they will shovel snow if need be as long as they are playing football.

Shelby scared? That's the stupidest statement you have ever made.

That would also save on the light bills at the schools.

Don't get too ahead of ourselves....if ACC chickens out on the season....the NCHSAA will be right behind....doesn't matter what season....if panic pushers who have America by the nuts get their way....sports won't happen for years..........................

 

[Crest9496]

Well said r-bbq

 

[SPRaiders78]

Ok SHS Lions, why are kids at Shelby more likely to get hurt when it's cold. If they are afraid they'll get hurt and mess up their college career, maybe they shouldn't play. College kids are doing it all the time now.

 

[Lawn12Dog]

Hope crust and burns can still play . Keep the Battle of Buffalo Creek and let the county brothers play .

Ideally that’s what I would like to happen from a Burns fan’s perspective but I think Shelby-Crest takes priority.

 

[SHS LION]

The first sports that can begin practice are cross country and volleyball.They can begin practice on Wednesday November 4th.Why not Monday November 2nd?

It may pertain to the number of school campuses, including gyms, that are polling places on election Tuesday.

 

[foreverlion]

The switch don’t flip until the 4th. Anything to get this mess over with.

Polling places? For a mail in ballot.

You greatly underestimate the ACC and the options they have depending on what happens during the season.

For just once I would like to see everyone who wants to trash the NCHSAA come forward with what they think needs to be done and offer constructive ideas instead of just being negative.

When you are making decisions that could affect the lives of young people it's not so easy. And young people do die from the COVID-19.
