    Elkin HFC job filled

    Parents are the solution! A lot of them are off the rails. School ball blames travel ball, travel ball blames school coaches but the truth is if parents approached their child's athletic career with any sense of realism 90%+ of the problems we discussed above would be taken care of. And yes...

    Elkin HFC job filled

    "Wouldn't blame them one bit"... sad - If I was a kid and I grew up in Elkin there is only 1 place I would care about playing. Give me that blue and gold to wear and I would compete my tail off. "A chance for a championship" where you are probably a role player at best because you obviosuly...

    Mt. Airy - North Surry Basketball

    I disagree totally. As a society we are teaching our kids less and less each year. Notice I said society - not teachers, not coaches. Instead of taking the easy way out and just saying let's stop doing anything that can cause a problem maybe we teach our kids how to compete their tails off...

    Boys Basketball #1 Washington goes down again.

    NCHSAA does not use Maxpreps for playoff seedings. And haven't for several years now. That is why they have their own RPI. It is based on 3 things. Record, Opponents Record, and Opponents Opponents Record (by record I mean winning %). It values you winning and playing good opponents but not...

    Does Dionte Neal have the best athletic resume in NC high school history?

    I have followed the Neal kid since he was a freshman - only seeing him in person twice. He is a phenomenal athlete who has had a truly remarkable high school career. I don't feel qualified to "rank" him as the title posts suggests - there is just so much history and it's tough to compare...

    Shelby vs Reidsville in Title Game

    I told my family on Saturday - I can't wait to read the message boards and listen to the Shelby/Reidsville folks going at it talking about who was better! My only disappointment is I predicted someone would go as far as to suggest the 2 teams play this coming weekend in a true STATE...

    Incompetent NCHSAA

    This started as a "bash the NCHSAA" thread and you've turned it into a Shelby vs. Reidsville thread. Enough of those on here already. Let's get back to the business at hand. The 1A teams had to start a game at a time most schools have barely been released for the day - ON A THURSDAY...

    Are games on NFHS? And if so anybody else having problems loading video?

    Incompetent NCHSAA

    Well stated. Great points and spot on. It feels the NCHSAA often makes decisions to make their life easier vs. doing what is best for student-athletes, schools and communities.

    Shelby at Lincolnton

    Can someone give a score update? My NFHS feed is buffering.

    Final 4 games - some rescheduled for Thursday

    Never know about these forecasts but if they waited until Friday it's possible no one would be able to attend

    Any chance Murphy gets 1 seed in West or does Starmount have it on lock?

    RPI isn't perfect, as no system is but if you look at VB playoffs. Same formula, same 48 team brackets, it's done a fairly good job seeding teams. There have been some upsets, which we all want to see at times. But for the most part the higher seeded teams (unless really close in seeds)...
