4A is top heavy. There are only four 4A teams that will take these two 3A teams without much argument. Grimsley, Hough, Rolesville, and Weddington. East Forsyth, Indy and Cardinal Gibbons would be toss ups but I would lean WC over Indy. WC already beat Mallard Creek this season and both these 3A teams would absolutely beat Mooresville, Cleveland, Clayton, Mt. Tabor, and Richmond. Like I said both teams would be top ten 4A.
I agree with most of what you posted, however MC beat WC this year 14 to 12. WC did beat MC last year though.
6A looks winnable, especially compared to 7A, no one really stands out as a top team imo. Especially the way the top teams in 7&8 stand out.
lol- congrats. But they will be remembered as the 8a team playing 3a of destiny
You are correct. This season was the year that game was finished without fans. WC outplayed them after the clearing incident if I remember correctly and lost by one.
They played in the classification in which they were assigned. Let it go.
One thing for sure, it won't be West Charlotte they'll play against if they get there in basketball. Our basketball team is horrific. They may not get to double digit wins this season.
That would be false. Mallard Creek was up 13-0
whats in store for this basketball season .... gonna try out the wheelchair basketball league?
Basketball program regression will definitely need to be addressed sooner rather than later. We definitely can't afford to allow it to go on a nearly 20 year nosedive like the football program.
What are the issues they are facing? WC has a very good tradition in basketball.
How far do your ties go back to West Charlotte? Do you recall when West Charlotte basketball played Ashbrook and James Worthy in the first round of the 1979 state basketball tournament at the Charlotte Coliseum?
I am getting old lol. The last two MC/WC games are running together in my head but regardless they were both close competitive games and my main point stands😊.
I don't want to go into it in an open forum.
3 out of 15 since 2007 for the Lions. They might be on to something.
We are talking about this season lol. Let those guys enjoy their title and their season.
How am I stopping them? One of the coaches on staff, I speak to 2,3 times a day. He had huge part in their success. Who is we? 🤷🏾♂️ I’m confident they’re having a blast with the new Hardware. 🏆👍🏾
Think going 8A will help them a lot. You have to remember that losing Traylor, Kerr, and Houston before the 24 season was a game changer. Then factor in the Seniors they lost with Kone, Ollie, and Raymond. That's Coach Davis' top 6 players from a team that lost to CC in the playoffs. Remember WC was the only team to beat Central Cabarrus during its 95-1 streak with 2 ships. So its not as bad as it seems. TAke away those national games that they shouldnt have played IMHO they have much better records.
I appreciate your insight and analysis. Let's hope such is the case. We just can't afford for the basketball program to fall in the tank. It's past time for the ladies bball program to come back up too.
Girls basketball is a little more difficult. Since the state title in 2009 WC has had two winning seasons. In Girls basketball parity is already very rare. It only takes 2-3 really good girls to change a program around. Problem is WC is not getting the difference making girls as a whole and when they do get one they transfer out. Look at Chambers. Went from 3 state titles to 2 wins this year. Harding went from 3A 2x state title to the bottom. WC went from a premier girls team to its current state. Under Grimshaw and the prior coach they were always a contender. They won the state and came back with 1 win next season. Haven't really been right since.
Yeah, the privates and charters are really robbing the public girls' programs.
