And Owen. This storm definitely hit the WHC hard. I’m not sure how it shakes out for WNC period besides SMC because Haywood County schools are out all next week and Buncombe is closed indefinitely so that will be at least two straight weeks that are missed when others have played around the state and Pisgah obviously can’t host anything for the year.Looks like the WHC is history for football this year with the devastation to Mitchell, Mtn. Heritage and Avery and Madison.
I don’t see any way of proceeding with the season in the WHC. A lot of homes are still cut off from civilization and it could be several weeks before power is restored. I was told 6 to 9 weeks for my address. The devastation up here is unbelievable.Looks like the WHC is history for football this year with the devastation to Mitchell, Mtn.

Yeah still no power at my house in Avery Co. I drove to Spear yesterday to deliver some hot meals at the Spear Store from my church in Roan Mtn. Man 19E that fallows the Toe River I was like wow!!!!! I was basically a rough one lane road. I can’t imagine what the roads in the hollars look like.I don’t see any way of proceeding with the season in the WHC.

I know this is in Avery Co because I drove by some of this stuff yesterday when I took foodI don’t see any way of proceeding with the season in the WHC.

Hard to imagine. It looks like some 3rd world country.I know this is in Avery Co because I drove by some of this stuff yesterday when I took food
I really think the season will not be over. Playing football would help the community, take people minds off this terrible storm .I don’t see any way of proceeding with the season in the WHC.

I agree with everything you have said. The only one worse for North Carolina may have been Hazel in 1957. I wasn’t born for six more years but my daddy used to talk about it. Very few were prepared for it. The parallels are similar to what occurred with Helene.Unfortunately football is and has to be the last thing on people's minds. This is the worst disaster this state has ever faced. While it can help communities if they can play, I just can't see it happening.

I TOLD YALL I WASN’T BORN!!!Heartfelt thoughts and many prayers to our western North Carolina neighbors. The footage from there is heartbreaking.
P.S. Hurricane Hazel occurred in 1954.
Yeah it looks like this is going to be the team that could of been for Heritage, this might have been the most athletic team they’ve ever had sucks for the kids but you can’t plan for a natural disaster, hopefully Mitchell will be really good in a year or two cause I don’t think Heritage will have a team this good for good while.Looks like the WHC is history for football this year with the devastation to Mitchell, Mtn.

Can some of those kids even get to school? Man that is horrible. I know football is last thing on their minds. But it stinks for them.
Thanks for the shoutout brother. Hate that you have been inundated with that. Hope you and family are all ok. Y’all are definitely in my thoughtsI’m high on a mountain overlooking a long holler (kid that’s a valley for you flatlanders) and my usual sounds of peace and quiet have been replaced by the hum of generators.
That quarterback from mountain heritage. He should roll on over to watauga. They get even more unstoppable.Many can't. My guess is several schools will be without power for some time. I'd be surprised if you don't see several kids finish the school year off the mountain somewhere.
McDowell is a lot closer and needs all the help we could get. Seriously though this devastation is almost like living in a dream. Some of these places will never be the same, at least not in our lifetimes. I do feel for the kids who can't even finish out their senior seasons. Especially Mountain Heritage.That quarterback from mountain heritage. He should roll on over to watauga. They get even more unstoppable.
There will be places that houses will never be again in our lifetimes and in other places more people will be living in campers in many of those places far longer than people will imagine. Some the rest of their lives and they’ll count themselves blessed to have lived. Several are still in campers from the Haywood County flood in 2021.McDowell is a lot closer and needs all the help we could get. Seriously though this devastation is almost like living in a dream.
