Western Playoffs

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
 
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.
 
Yet players have been allowed to change teams midseason.
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.

Even tho it was stated that the mountain schools are back and their games will be made up. My personal feelings on transfers in general are well known on here. This goes beyond my personal feelings, this at least looks like players changing schools simply for a better chance to win.
I’m I much prefers the rule you have to sit out a season if you change schools. And yes I know, nobody cares what I think

You want the kid to buy a tent and live in front of AC Reynolds? He has no freaking house. They watched their vehicles and neighbors houses float away. They had to escape through the 2nd floor window because water filled the first floor. His dad played at Crest and is from here, so they moved back with family. Yeah, you're right, the state should've really stuck it to him and made him sit out. Classy... But honestly I wouldn't expect any different from a SP fan.

You’re out of touch and you’re thinking is majorly flawed on this subject and this particular incident. A better word than “transferred” in this scenario would be to say a family “relocated” due to being displaced from their home, and as a result, took their child with them.

By your logic, any child whose family moves due to job, military, home loss, family death, and it occurs during the school year, the child should be penalized for the remainder of that year. This a massive overreach to correct “illegal transfers”.

You’re making sports BIGGER THAN LIFE AND THEY AREN’T.

Well said!! I may be out of touch on all the details but from my understanding they obviously had to make the move immediately and it was already decided to enroll at Crest when there was still uncertainty on what would happen. Either way, I’m glad he has a roof over his head every night and playing the sport he loves. I hope he does great!
