My apologies...I failed to correctly sort the consensus rankings above...here is the correct order:

Consensus Rank4AAVG Rank
1REIDSVILLE1.0
2MAIDEN3.7
3BURNS4.3
4WEST CRAVEN5.0
5HIBRITEN6.0
6EAST DUPLIN7.7
7CENT. DAVIDSON8.0
8STUART CRAMER8.7
9BREVARD9.3
10PISGAH10.0
Brevard lost a lot of players due to several circumstances and has a new head coach that some aren’t sold on. Pisgah, on the other hand, we lost a ton (pretty much every offensive skill player and LB and DB). If us and Brevard, wind up in the Top 10 come year end, that will be a pretty solid campaign by either team. We have a very strong junior class but they will have to anchor this year’s team at the skills positions.

How is Tuscola?
I know Tuscola will have a very good RB in Trantham and I’d imagine they’ll focus the offense around him. I’d give them a very slight edge among the 4A teams in our conference and think 5a Franklin is probably the favorite overall. Franklin’s Garrett Young will be an absolute load out of the backfield this year.

6’2ā€ 215ish and well put together. Opening pic in the link below shows him and talks about him some further down in the article.

@Anon145078 welcome to the board. Keep up the posts.

We, western foothills members and Lincolnton and hibriten and Cramerton members, do talk some trash and are confident for our teams but...... We somewhat keep it in perspective.

All jokes aside, hopefully you stay around and engage in our weekly posts.
In all seriousness, yes, welcome! We're always poking fun, but it's all in good humor.

Now varsity defense didn't play bad they did score several times but also while rotating players in. But they are deeper and bigger than us. Now on offense we had some good plays but ultimately didn't make the big plays and had struggles along the front. They had studs across the front line on offense and defense and just way deeper and just a different level than us. Reagan will be one of the top teams in 7A.

Well I do have maiden beating hickory I don’t think they’ll have as big of a down year as everyone thinks
Interesting, have you heard anything on Hickory? Do you know how many returners Hickory has back? Or you just think they are over hyped to win the conference again?

Hickory held their own with East Forsyth and Statesville. HHS had some nice scoring plays both running and passing against EF. Statesville started slow against HHS, but seemed to get stronger the more they were on the field. HHS JV looked very good.
