WNC next realignment

[mhhs94]

Again i have been told 2-3 different people they want no more the. 5-6 teams per

Here's one with as many 6 team conferences as I can manage I'm not doing 5 team conferences because Idk who in their right mind would want those, I really don't get the point it doesnt negate split conferences or anything else you get by not having a limit on how many teams you can have in a conference but if that's how it's gonna be that's how iIl do it lol

[TD-FridayNight]

The change to 7 will be really interesting if and when it ever takes place. Changes are hard to get used to at first and I see it as no difference come 2025 if I am still on here.

 

[BK13T-$]

7 classifications is for sure going happen in 2,025.
How many sports will be seven is the only question.
Basketball will be seven.
Football will probably be seven but I could see 6 classes.

 

[loveithere]

The by law change says there has to be a class for every 64 schools….it didn’t say a class for every 64 football playing schools. So I think there has to be 7.

 

[RD28327]

Just because there may be seven classes doesn't necessarily mean seven state champions in a particular sport.

 

[loveithere]

Correct. If there are not enough teams in a class to form a playoff bracket then they will combine with the next classification. Probably doesn’t affect football. But could other sports.

It'll be close in football.
1a will have around 50% of schools with football teams. 32 teams, 16 east 16 west

 

[loveithere]

Will be interesting for sure. Also, interested to see how the general assembly handles the bill dealing with charter school classification.

 

[BK13T-$]

Alot depends on if NCHSAA uses a predetermined east/west line.

I don't think they are moving them all up now but some will move up if they go by size of schools pulled from like mentioned.
That could push 1a from 405 up to 450/500

That "one size fits all" east/west line is gonna go right out the window!

I would go for a five team conferences. Home and Away conference games for eight games and pick up a couple of old rivals to fill up the schedule. Dang it will be like old times up here in these parts.

Agreed. NCHSAA woulda avoided a lot of headaches for decades if they had allowed that to be. While the odd # doesn't help in some ways it would allow a lot of matchups that would benefit schools more in the long run that couldn't happen otherwise. Win/win for everyone.

Knowing them I doubt they'd allow it though but it would be a nice try if they do.

Talk about getting some good rivalry games, just think about beating a good team at home and then have to face em at their house in a few weeks! That's one reason the SMC has good fan bases. Heck, you can even pull this off with as little as three schools. The old SMC 2a had Murphy, Franklin and Swain for about 7 years. That was after Sylva-Webster consolidated with the Rebels and became Smoky Mountain high.
