JV in 2026 and varsity in 2027 is what I'm hearing. What has everyone else heard, if anything? And, where would home games be played?
Uwharrie Charter football

Looks like they play soccer at a "sportsplex" in Asheboro, and the picture in the story makes it look like you could play football there as well.
UCA moves soccer games to new sportsplex - Randolph Record
ASHEBORO – Uwharrie Charter Academy’s new home for soccer games is the recently opened Zoo City Sportsplex. “We’ve worked with the City of Asheboro on this,” UCA athletics director Chris Waddell said. “It shows volumes the partnerships we’ve been able to create with the city and in Randolph...

I figured they would be sharing facilities with Eastern Randolph.
That would be the right thing to do
It’s like a comedy fund raiser up in here…
The UCA AD used to be head football coach at Providence Grove ...

If I knew how to do those funny emojis things I would be doing one here.
Here is an easy way: click the windows and period keys on your keyboard, find what you want, and click on it. 🤐👌😁
More charter schools with football teams mean more chances for kids to pop off like a firework on the Fourth of July! More players, more talent yeah.....
Exactly, and in their case, less chance of being forced to combine with 2A in a playoff bracket
They better keep that "lottery" going because the 1A cakewalk with kids from 4-5 counties is going to be needed to stay at the level they were at. No more 1A chest thumping and trophy hunting in 4A. Word is several 1A/2A charters down east are adding football in the coming seasons as well. Football makes money and that makes the budget better to handle.
I think this idea makes a lot of sense. The closer the Privates are to the publics the easier it is to identify and recruit their best players.
Cuts cost of scouting, puts more money in the pocket of which ever NC Republican Politician has his/her hand in the private schools pocket.
Makes perfect sense!!

Yo the trend of 1A and 2A charters in areas like down east adding football is such a significant development, feel me?
Welcome to 4A UCA. They have an excellent team but the traditional home grown kids did a good job this weekend taming that beast a bit and congrats to M Airy for the 1A state tourney title. As for them adding football and the goal of getting more big guys in the system. That idea works until you become a steady football playoff team and do not have those 150-285 pound dudes in the wrestling room until December or later if they choose to play football. Also, limits the wrestling coaches ability to complete steady workouts, club team and do tourneys due to spring football workouts and fall season. It really hurts good football schools that are steady in the state football playoffs year after year early on in the season.
There is a lot of misinformation in this post. The statement about the home-grown kids at MA is incorrect. Some of MA's best wrestlers are not from MA, they are transfers. The three winners MA had in the dual-team finals are examples. Most, if not all of MAs wrestlers do not play football or quit football at the beginning of wrestling season. So those kids are practicing all year. Please know the facts before posting.
With the way things go in Raleigh I wouldn't be shocked to see a bill requiring schools to share facilities with public or private schools that don't have them 🙄
