Richmond...42.31 points/game against 4A competitionOriginally posted by Shotgun-Spread:
But I don't believe Richmond County could beat Shelby this year I just don't see how they could score enough points on that defense.

So you see hokiemtc, no state, including NC, expect smaller schools to compete with larger schools. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT NOW or are you the only one in the world that doesn't get it? But all are treated equal as "high schools" IN THEIR RESPECTIVE DIVISIONS. The championship trophies look the same. The title games are all played at NC university stadiums and all are televised the same. The programs and records are all presented the same. No officials ever claim that the 4AA title is any more significant than the 1A title is. The media treats them different because the media understandably reports back to the bigger cities where the bigger schools generally come from.
If Cleveland County consolidated into one high school like you did, it would produce a school with 4500 students that would crush Richmond County and all other current NC high schools. For now, NC has chosen to top out at around 2300 for the biggest. Richmond County just happens to be in that largest group. Rumor has it RC will be classified small 4A soon. Then maybe you can beat Scotland .oh, we forgot.
...and if Meck Co consolidated all of their high schools into one high school (like someone did...you said me, but Butler isn't consolidated), it would produce a school with 40,000 students, which would once again crush your little consolidated school.Originally posted by '98 State Champion:

Richmond's ADM was 2,267 this year, and the ADM has actually risen in 4 of the last 6 years, so you guys are still one of the biggest high schools in the state. You probably won't see the effects of population decline for a while, and there's a long way to drop before you start flirting with the 4A cutoff. I think I'll be surprised if it happens in the next 5 years.Originally posted by Raider7967:
Richmond's population is declining by the year slowly. I would expect we drop to 4a, but I don't see that for another 4-5 years.
I didn't realize we were that high on the ADM numbers. I have looked at population growth rates and Richmond used to be at -2% over a 10 year period...not sure of the latest projections as they can change. I see no reason for a projection change indicating growth, but with those numbers it won't matter. It does look to be quite some time before that is close.Originally posted by hokiemtc:

Does Mecklenburg County have 50% of their schools playing in a State Championship game for the second year in a row? Let's see, ah....Meck. Co. has 31 public schools plus Charlotte Catholic so 2 for 32 is 6%. (1 for 31 in actual public schools for 3%) Pound for pound best football in the state is CLEVELAND COUNTY!!Originally posted by hokiemtc:
Wow. And Mallard Creek and Catholic are both playing in 4A state championship games. AGAIN!!!!!
Who played in and won the 94 and 96 4A championship games?Originally posted by crazyduke3:
Shelby and Crest have nice little programs and nice history.
They cannot, would not sniff the 4a powers. Not on their best day. And that's okay because they don't have to.
31 public schools? Are you including the junior highs?Originally posted by '98 State Champion:

Haha, once again your bogus claims of superiority have ZERO legs, so you have to put ridiculous disclaimers, qualifiers and filters on them in order for them to pass scrutiny. An intelligent person would realize that if that they had to spend that much time looking for the angles in which their statements could plausibly be true, then maybe the claims had issues to begin with. And then there is what you do with them.Originally posted by '98 State Champion:

I don't think I've ever seen such an inferiority complex in my entire life. I honestly feel a little bit bad for Shelby fans...to be that desperate for someone to show a little respect for their total world dominance, but then to show up here in the real world and see how little of it there really is.Originally posted by Downontheshoe:

Still living off something happened in the 90's!?!?!?Originally posted by '98 State Champion:
