Western Playoffs

[Cardsfan50]

Does anyone know how many teams in the West will not be participating in the football playoffs? Looking at the horrible devastation from the hurricane I can't believe some schools can participate. In 2018 when Florence hit the eastern part of NC lots of non conference games were not made up but in the west many teams were in conference schedules already. I'm thinking if there are a number of teams in the west unable to play then the "line" between east and west will move substantially east. What does the message board think? Also, will there be the same number of teams in the playoffs?

Thanks in advance,

I dont think there will be anyone not playing. I think at this point everyone has been back playing for at least 2 games. There are some areas where teams are not able to play true home games and that may be the case in the playoffs as well. But everyone is playing

Several will be playing 3 games in the last 2 weeks, but it's a miracle there getting to play. A month ago I figured about 10 teams were done for the year.

Yet players have been allowed to change teams midseason.

You can change teams mid-season any year. As long as the state transfer rules are followed.

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Those in the middle just try to hold on.

Crest got stronger as a result of a young man and his family losing their home and moving in with relatives in a place that was also home. I’m pretty sure they would prefer having their home and possessions AND to still be playing at Reynolds. It’s pretty hard to cry foul on this particular case.

Buncombe County schools alone have had 500 kids moved to homelessness or displaced. ( That’s an entire 1A/2A high school, number wise, in one county). 100+ students have moved out of district and more will follow as you have some people that have lost homes, many haven’t worked in 1month+ due to having no job to physically go to or the water issue, and in some cases people lost both or soon will. Some that thought their homes “made” it are now finding them condemned/ unsafe as inspections are being done.


There are quite a few adults up here making adult decisions that currently don’t revolve around “stacking” a sports team.

My heart goes out to those folks living in the west. Living in the east and dealing with hurricanes for the past 35 years, I can truly feel for them. Heck, we even had kids relocated up here from New Orleans after Katrina.

That is a bad take. I am normally the first one pissed about some of the transfer things that have happened over the years but this is not one of them. You are combining your own personal feelings and a tragic situation for the point of argument. You will have nobody backing you on this.
