Interesting thread to say the least. Regardless, you've done a little homework but not enough. You mention combined record of teams we have played. I encourage you to look at those teams on an individual basis and look at who they've played. Example, HP Central is a solid 4A team that is one game under .500 however they are 2nd in their league which is a very tough 4A league. According to Simmons ratings, they have the #1 schedule in all of 4a. They have some nice wins and have lost to teams that are among the best in the 4a class. If you are looking at it from a 2a perspective , HP central would be a top 10 2A team and they lost to Andrews 48-6. The argument that Reidsville is down is weak. They aren't the reidsville state title contender but they are still a top 15 2a team so they are no slouch. Andrews also thumped them. Look at Cummings for example, despite being 2-7, look at who they've lost to with the 6th toughest schedule in 2a (Andrews, Reidsville, western almanace and eastern Alamance). Cummings is a solid 2a team. Kudos to some of these teams for playing tough schedules. A lot of folks at this point in the season sit undefeated or with 1 or 2 losses who are a complete joke and no shot of making it out of the first round in the playoffs. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't think Andrews will win a state title this year as their qb play isn't strong enough and I they can play undisciplined and lackadaisical sometimes. In saying that though, if they get a good draw they could make a run and steal a title from somebody.
