They had a rough season last year. Will they improve? I missed their glory years. Hopefully, they will return. Any info?

I hope they don’t get bit by the 8 quarter rule by someone who might be paying attention.
Last year, they were a little sketchy with sharing their roster in the preseason. Don’t know that they broke the rules... can’t prove it... don’t even really care, being that they had a horrendous season.
That stuff does come back to bite you though, when and if success ever comes knocking.
Hmm.. interesting. I'm sure it happens more than what people realize.
Worst case if they actually did it on purpose.. that's a big deal. They don't have much to forfeit besides the 2 wins both teams had. It's not like in 2015 when they had to forfeit all the JV wins they had due to an illegal player. What could the state do, fine them? They aren't in good money shape. It could be an SMU style situation there.. might not have a choice if it happens all the time. Something has to be done in that case if so.
They were a mess last year so I can't say I wouldn't be surprised if they did. They had more coaches than fans in the stands yet none of them did anything besides 2 or 3. One got thrown out for a tantrum at the refs and another did until they talked the refs down somehow.. it was sad to watch. They weren't even loosing with dignity and grace at that point.
I was honestly surprised they won that game 2 weeks later.
I watched them play Oak Grove in week one. Granted, a couple of Carver’s fans were sitting on the home side because there was shade, and it was hot. But, I counted 20 fans on their side by halftime. After that, the slaughter began and most everyone was gone by the 4th quarter.
Last year they had less than 20.Does carver still have that amazing freakin band ? I went and seen them play Shelby a few years ago and that was a true show

like OMC said "how bizarre."
Yes the Carver/Parkland games were played at Bowman Gray for about 5 years.Last year the best part of the Carver band was the little elementary school kid who marched along with them with his only little bass drum.
I remember going to some games at Bowman Gray Stadium back when I was a kid. Parkland vs Carver... Carver vs Reynolds. It really seemed like the big time back then.
Didn’t they move a few of Carver’s games to Bowman Gray in the last decade (when they were really good) to accommodate a huge crowd?
Whats up with all these schools like Walkertown ,Adkins, WS Prep all in the East Winston area? What are the Administration thinking? Looks like Carver needs some major overhaul. Maybe, they will return to Glory someday.
I think it was a mistake to put that many schools up in eastern Forsyth county.
I don’t know of any other urban schools systems that sport as many 1A and 2A schools as WSFC does.
They no longer require them to play the larger schools.State wanted smaller school around 600-800 kids so they promoted building and charters. Has become a mess in many counties. Carver has talent, needs to stay down 1A and WSFCS is screwing the smaller schools anyways making them play in the county non-conference. Regardless of talent, Carver, Walkertown, Adkins, Prep have no chance against EF, WF, etc.
Rival game since Reagan opened. That game is scheduled by both schools.Thank goodness for that! I don’t see many terrible in-county mismatches for the smaller WSFC schools.
The worst one I see is North Forsyth and Reagan. But they are so close so it probably is good for the gate to put Reagan on their schedule.

Hadn't heard that song in a while, thanks for making me think about high school again.
That area is unreal.. Carver near the airport, Atkins near Kernersville, Walkertown in the rural part, then Prep in the old Atkins building. Against all odds Atkins has the more kids out of those 4 which should make no sense due to the magnet school designation, but they get all kinds of kids and have good turnout for Football every year despite never being a powerhouse. Carver loosing kids out the wazoo, Prep's very small, then Walkertown's the outlier. Hard to explain without being their and seeing it.
Walkertown has no reason for existing really.. no one really wanted it. Carver needed to be rebuilt and modernized but Forsyth wanted none of it. Carver should still be 3A with McKoy as the head coach right now. Same for North Forsyth being 2A they shouldn't be that low either. As Forsyth keeps building more schools it will make more of their older schools smaller, and it's bad for everyone outside of Forsyth as they are stuck with them in leagues they don't want.
Forsyth County should be ashamed honestly.. it should never have been this bad.
Ok being the Head coach at a WSFC School the past 6 years before moving here is what is and has happened to several schools in Forsyth County that included Carver
Choice Transfer- say what you want it has killed schools like North Forsyth, Carver and in the near past Parkland, Glenn and RJR.
Too many schools- Yes no need for WS Prep or Walkertown. All of those kids should be at Carver. Atkins should not have athletics those kids should play for their home schools. Forsyth should have no more than 7 high schools.
Population shifts- East Winston has lost population and that too have hurt Carver, heck population shift has also hurt North Forsyth.
It is a terrible shame what has happened to Carver. The one time proud athletic program is in shambles I do not think any of their programs have had a winning record last year. I am not sure it can be revived. Even though places like Glenn, Parkland has bounced backed a little they have something Carver does not, kids in the hallway. If someone can fix it then they should win NC coach of the year but I just dont see it anytime soon
In the next realignment it looks like Atkins is close to being a 3A School. Glenn could drop down to 3A. And Carver might be 1A. MT Tabor and Parkland go back to 4A. I like the Winston Salem area better than I do Charlotte, but that sucks.
