Way too Early Look for next Year

Not trying to be funny (yeah I’m shocked too)
but wouldn’t a charter possibly be able to ward off suitors for coaches? Think the boosters might be able to match what a bigger public school was offering.
Possibly…
My question exactly?

I'm not sure Corvian would have a bigger boosters than certain CMS schools.

Going to a bigger school could open more doors as well.

South Carolina may come calling.

It was noted they don't have a jv program but a middle school program. If they can't get jv going they'll struggle to maintain. I still think it will be luck of the draw for these charters, especially in football.

We both know how a lot of charter schools “reload”. And for quite a few of the more successful programs, at least the ones around these parts, it is definitely not the typical high school jv route.
As far as bigger schools having bigger pockets and better exposure, how many will also guarantee carte blanche? Not saying 2nd Corinthians does but I know that some do…

Ever notice how those classic CMS schools got sports legends just popping out like they're on sale at an North Carolina flea market? It’s like they sprinkle NC State magic snagging the best athletes and turning them into competitive beasts! Just look at football! Without a solid JV team, Corvian might as well be stuck on the bench, because they’re missing the secret plan for future star players! Yikes!
 
Heritage returns a few major playmakers though I don't know if they'll make a dent in 3a next year might make it to the second or third round, I think we could potentially have as much success in 3a as Brevards had in 2a the last couple of years
I been wanting to ask this quest just purely as a guest from the outside looking in. Here in WV we just redone our classifications last year for the season we just completed. We went from 3 classes to 4. This was because our enrollments are dropping and had to readjust and make the classes have a tighter numbers group. How did some of the 1A schools from this year jump all the way up to 3A? That just seems like a really big jump? Did a lot of the areas 2A & 3A schools jump up too? Did some of them jump up 2 classes as well? That’s all I was wondering and not asking this to start any BS at all. Just seems like a big jump where in WV we were going the opposite direction with schools getting smaller. Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas down there. Everyone has a safe and Happy New Year’s as well!!

With 8 classes there was a reduction in ADM per class across the board. This resulted in a lot of schools from 1A going to 2A. ER was the largest in 2A in initial draft at 587 ADM. They were moved up to 3A as smallest team when Reidsville was moved to 4A. As a side note Uwharrie Charter moved all the way to 4A!

Thanks for the reply sir! A lot to take in with all the different factors making up the formulas. That charter school was in 1A I think or for some reason I thought I remembered seeing their name there? Maybe I am mistaken? Sure is going to shake things up next season and create new rivalries for sure. Did the Shelby school I have just recently learned about stay in 3A or did they move up from 2A? Isn’t Reidsville a pretty historic team in the state for most state championships? Not trying to wear anyone out with questions just pure curiosity and respect is all. Thanks

Yes that charter was 1A and currently has an ADM of 875!
Shelby is 3A, second largest in classification with 792 and is 2A this season.
Reidsville has the most state championships, unless you ask the triumvirate from Shelby 😂
 
Some of it had to do with them taking free school lunches and recent success into account for classifications last time they drew the classifications up. That's why you had schools like West Charlotte in 3A and East Surry in 2A regardless of their ADM. They didn't do that this time around and only went with ADM and the 8 classifications.

This is wild! Like, look at West Virginia - schools droppin' like they're in a game of musical chairs! 😂 If a bunch drop out while others are flexing their enrollment gains, next thing you know, Carolina schools are out here catfishing bigger names! Imagine chilling at your small-town high school and suddenly you're squaring up against the big dogs cause your basketball team just decided to actually show up to practice! Ain't that a plot twist?

And has been allowed to compete in 1A with over 800 kids and will again this year. Sounds like sad song but it does take away opportunity from traditional much smaller schools with limited boundaries come time for state duals in wrestling and other sports this final alignment year.

I think the season we just completed was the beginning of a nice four year run for Murphy. The Dogs have a really good rising senior group but are still a relatively young team overall. They should be really good (with the potential to be great) next season and a couple of more years after that. They have a chance to represent the west next year assuming everyone who is due to return, does return, and if season hindering or season ending injuries to key players can be avoided. I really want to see a Murphy vs Tarboro 2a state championship game. One would think it’s bound to happen at some point. Dream matchup between two great programs. But, got to get through what I’m sure will be a tough regular season schedule and then teams like Starmount and Corvian in the playoffs. A lot can happen between now and then.
Murphy with what looks like a nice pickup in the trenches, the rising junior transfer will add some much needed beef (6'4 280) upfront for a squad that was largely missing it last year outside of #71.

I'm sure any additions for that matter with an opportunity to contribute will be a welcome sight for the coaching staff because Murphy's non conference schedule next season is going to be brutal:

@ Franklin
@ Heard County GA
vs East Surry
@ AC Reynolds

If the 'Dogs come out of that gauntlet 2-2 I'd consider it a solid showing, if they managed 3-1 well I'm sure everyone associated with the program would be ecstatic with that.

Really good schedule. This certainly should help them in the long run.

Super excited about the upcoming season and non conference schedule! First game is at the brand new Franklin stadium. Huge game for both teams. Dogs will be looking to avenge last season’s only regular season loss (33-13), and Franklin will be looking to start off with a W in their new home.

Then comes the home opener against ES! How fun is that matchup? This is just me thinking out loud, but I’m guessing that there will be a tribute to JR and that this will be an emotional game on the Hill. Gonna miss him dearly.

Next is a cool road trip to Heard County GA for a rematch of last season’s 29-27 Murphy home win. Both teams were young last season and both return a ton of talent this season. Should be a fun atmosphere down there.

To top it off, a trip to Asheville to take on arguably the best program in the mountains year in, year out! Big opportunity here for the Dogs to show that they are not only one of the best 1a (well 2a now) teams in the mountains, but one of the best teams period.

I agree coming out of that schedule 2-2 would be reason to be ecstatic, but I think the Dogs, with a couple of breaks and a well timed bounce here or there, and with good injury luck, will have the goods to do even better. Can’t wait to get it started!
