And Surry county / NW1A football represents the west again in the ship. Some say the conference is as weak as pond water , but I think the results speak for its self . Sooooooo, what you got to say now ?

6 out of 7 years, it has been East Surry in 2018. 2019, 2020 then Mount Airy in 2017, 2022, 2023, and 2021 Mitchell all represented the West from 2017 through 2023. 6 out of the weak NWC who don't play anybody. All played the big tough Tarboro and only came out with 2 wins out of 5 NWC teams, can Mount Airy make it 3 of 6 this year ?And Surry county / NW1A football represents the west again in the ship.

Not yet.And speaking of coaching openings, has anything happened at ELKIN?
I think he would do well there. A lot of Grimsley talent last few years came from PageQuestion: there is ALWAYS speculation on East Surry Head Coach going somewhere. I hope he does not .
BUT Paige HS in Greensboro is open and I think he could do really well there. And Paige needs a great coach.

Did I miss something lolThen dang candy shop close got have him calling Buzz out I can't beleive Buzz went in that store
We would too. MA first played Galax in 1915!!! Had some good games back in the day. I have a picture of that 1915 Galax team.I'm Surry County adjacent up here in Galax. Some good football being played in this region. Galax will be playing in their 6th state championship game in 13 seasons on Saturday. It's a shame we've never been able to get a yearly series going with Alleghany, NS, MA or ES.
Would love to see that happen.
Galax only has 3 seniors in the starting lineup. Two are big-time players in Tucker and Ashworth though.Galax and Graham would be two great games for the Bears. Big win for galax Saturday. Watched the livestream. Shootout. Great things happening for maroon tide football. A lot of potential great out of conference matchups close to MA. Galax is close , Graham no different than Ashe County. Radford would be a good one to
I'd love to see those.We would too. MA first played Galax in 1915!!! Had some good games back in the day. I have a picture of that 1915 Galax team.
Mount Airy and Galax scrimmaged 4 or 5 times between 2014 and 2020 but not since. The past two seasons, George Wythe has hosted a jamboree the week before the North Carolina regular season begins, which is a week prior to the beginning of the regular season in Virginia. MA and Galax have not met during that jamboree.MA scrimmages Galax and George Wythe now........if they played regular season it would be ugly.
I like that field at Galax!Mount Airy and Galax scrimmaged 4 or 5 times between 2014 and 2020 but not since. The past two seasons, George Wythe has hosted a jamboree the week before the North Carolina regular season begins, which is a week prior to the beginning of the regular season in Virginia. MA and Galax have not met during that jamboree.
I agree, right now a match-up between Galax and MA would be lopsided. MA is twice the size of Galax and has a larger area in which to pull players. But North Surry is 20 miles down the road from Galax and would be a beneficial matchup for both schools.
Elkin rumored to make a big hire from a retired Head Coach. 1st post so take it for what it's worth. Alumni
The Elkin Job has to be the least desirable job in the area. They haven’t had sustained success in quite awhile. The community doesn’t seem to care about the football program. Especially when prominent community figures are using AAU football to attempt to funnel Elkin and EW kids to starmount. I wouldn’t touch that job.Elkin rumored to make a big hire from a retired Head Coach. 1st post so take it for what it's worth. Alumni

No, it would be South and by the oceanThat points across the river or to the north. My guess it's not across the river.
Elkin probably wouldn't have ever won a state championship if it weren't for the kids in Starmount's district. Seems like I remember them getting some from East Wilkes as well back thenThe Elkin Job has to be the least desirable job in the area. They haven’t had sustained success in quite awhile.

True story!Elkin probably wouldn't have ever won a state championship if it weren't for the kids in Starmount's district. Seems like I remember them getting some from East Wilkes as well back then

Same thing can be said about every school and really it doesn’t matter. Where kids want to go to school is all that should matter. I’m just saying that job currently isn’t a good one if you’re trying to win.Elkin probably wouldn't have ever won a state championship if it weren't for the kids in Starmount's district.
