South Fork week 12
- Thread starter Burkeforreal
- Start date
Not looking fwd to that either but North didn’t have the team they got now back then either. My strongest suggestion and I hope coaches and ADs read these things and I believe they do is go NW4A/3A. They match well with these schools and they’re not overwhelmingly hard to compete with. South would rule in baseball, ACentral in softball, Freedom in basketball, looking like Watauga and AC in football but it wouldn’t be like it was for North in the Iredell conference area. Makes gate sales reasonable cause if your in conference with Shelby Crest etc who wants all that. Harder, longer distance, etc. NW4A/3A is the way to go. It’s different from what they had anyway and breaks up the same ole thing.
[u="West17, post: 523987, member: 15502"]Looks like maiden will be going small 2A along with North Surry and maybe Bandys. Can't find out if there is a definitive number that determines big from small[/QUOTE]
Saw a predicted cut at 836-838.. that prediction had you 13 in 2AA

Why is West #13? They are 3rd in conference and higher rated than Salisbury? Shouldn’t they be #12? Or is conference size coming into play?
Conference size must be coming into play. Also, nobody expected the possibility of Bandys dropping
West and north fans have been waiting for something to talk about for years
I believe West or North could be someone’s spoiler. They aren’t the kind of teams West and North typically have.
They will spread you out and if the qb gets time he will pick you apart. Shifty receivers on the outside that are lightening quick and they have a good shifty back that is hard to get ahold of. Their defense overall is pretty dang good. SP had some success early but only was able to bust two or three big ones on them. Their defense is fast and have massive linebackers. One is committed to State and the other is Dax little brother.
Are the brackets out or they projected brackets til Saturday?
Also I’m amazed at 8 pages. This post unites all teams instead of posting individual conference games cause their won’t be much talk if it’s individual. Kinda like when Highland tech was playing Newton. Wow, not much to say bout that. Shoulda had a conf post as a whole and that woulda been incorporated. We should do this from now on.

Ok so tell me if I wrong here but I think there is a discrepancy in the projected playoffs. Reidsville is listed as 2A west while Cummings and carrboro is listed going 2AA east. It's the same conference how can one go west and the other two go east?

Just projected... but probably very accurate for this side of the state unless a team gets moved west to mess up brackets

Pisgah be a great game if they can get past Smokey. Don’t see them winning but at least they ain’t getting hit by the Hibriten train.
North is much closer to Iredell schools. North Iredell would be a trip up I-77, with the worst part battling the Hwy150 traffic to get to I77. If the Rowan schools stay in that conference, then that would pose a travel problem time-wise. Then there's Alexander Central, who could be pulled back into the Iredell conference with North and East Lincoln. The Rowan schools would move out. That in turn would create an interesting conference....but no one knows the strange interworkings of the NCHSAA's brain....
Would for sure make more sense for both North and East to be with the Iredell County schools rather than going to Hickory and Freedom. I would say that both are a lock to go 3A next realignment especially with the rapid growth in the Denver area. There are plans to build another elementary school in the eastern end of the county because of the influx of up and coming developments being built. While were on the topic, it won't happen next realignment but I could see us dropping to 1A within the next 10 years if people continue to move like they are. A long shot, but possible.
It's not as long a shot as you think. With the continued drops in enrollment forecasted, the only way to keep L-Town 2A will be redistricting to take numbers from North, and I see this happening. Neither North nor East can expand their facilities, so expect a fifth high school in the next decade. My job is in real estate development, so I do have some insight in that area.
Could you see the city possibly annexing neighborhoods up 150 and out towards the airport? my biggest fear is if Denver becomes incorporated then there is no reason for people to want to move to Lincolnton or do business. I do know that the city population is on a slow decline and families moving to the county prefer Denver because there is more to do and closer to Huntersville, Charlotte. I have argued for a long time that lines need to be redrawn because of overpopulation in North and East schools. When North Lincoln was built the lines that were drawn took away a big chunk of kids that would otherwise go to Lincolnton.
Wont be another high school built, cost will be too much, EL will not go next realignment, NL a high possibility. I believe a very small chance they redraw lines but is a possibility. Continue on. By the way gr8 job by NL athletes and coaches as well as WL. I do agree with Wolf though concerning the playoffs, but heck you never know. Good luck
Well guys I hate to say it but I believe the days of SD7 and SF 2A are coming to an end. It's really sad. When I was in school I suffered a many ass whoopings at the hands of maiden Lincolnton and East Lincoln as with the majority of West Lincoln graduates. North Lincoln is like our adopted brothers since they weren't around for SD7 but still are loved. No matter how many whoopings we took we kept comin back for more. Those were the games you looked forward to every year. Long lasting rivalries but friends. It will be missed because I think maiden is close to 1A.
If I remember correctly I think Maiden may have more students than we do. Like I said, 10 years from now we very well could be 1A
Yeah, I was just adding maiden in there because they are on steady decline as well. We lost 20 this year. But at least we have 3 1/2 elementary schools feeding us but rumor has it the new Lincoln charter high school will be built on highway 27 in the lincolton/west lincoln area that will hurt both of us, especially if they pick up football.
I don't believe they will pick up football. The charter school down on the east end is by far the more superior campus.
