    National anthem protests in WNC games

    Here is the point that seems to be being ignored. Kneeling during the national anthem is against the rules period. A rule exists which should have fines attached to it. If Goodell is not going to fine them, we as fans have the opportunity to fine the league. Just dont spend 1 dollar of your...

    IF ? North Stokes gets A Coach .

    Wow interesting week one match up between North Stokes and Alleghany. Frank's former team against his current team. Based on how it all came down at Alleghany, I imagine he will be working extra hard to have his kids ready for that first game.

    Hearing North Stokes varsity team has folded

    Not sure that it is as simple as winning and losing. Starmount has a storied football tradition, and win more than they lose year after year after year. Look at their numbers this year. This problem is bigger than winning and losing I fear.

    Hearing North Stokes varsity team has folded

    In true 1a schools, it is going to get increasingly difficult to field competitive or even non competitive teams in the future. As much as we all love football, it is coming under extensive pressure with the concussion issue and parents steering them in other directions. The other issue is...

    Hearing North Stokes varsity team has folded

    To be honest, I did not think that you could have just a JV team unless you are a new school. I thought that I had read that if you only have one team it has to be varsity. Am I wrong in thinking this.

    2 - 1 East Wilkes at 3 - 1 Forbush

    You are exactly right that there is more parity in the league than I remember there being in years and years. However, there is no way that I can see North or West finishing ahead of Ashe. Alleghany, and Starmount. I may be wrong, but I will definetly be surprised. I think Central is as...

    Mountain Valley 1A/2A predictions

    Not sure about the rules in virginia, but in North Carolina, they would have to be living with a legal guardian right?

    Mountain Valley 1A/2A predictions

    Galax High School policy and procedure manual reads like this. If you can play, we will get you in. LOL Does remind you a bit of the Grissom days doesnt it.

    Mountain Valley 1A/2A predictions

    Wow those doors must really be wide open at Galax. We have lost a kid or two to them, and Grayson County gets savaged by them.

    Murphy's Coach Gentry poses good question to the NCHSAA Board

    Simple they are non traditional. Back in the day when Elkin and Coach Grissom were winning state championships, there was lots of scuttle bug about this. Since they do not win anymore, nobody cares. Truth is it is wrong win or lose. In the old days, kids used to shuttle back and forth...

    Murphy's Coach Gentry poses good question to the NCHSAA Board

    I guess there are different ways to determine what a traditional vs non traditional school is. By my definition, a traditional school is state supported and has boundaries that in and of themselves make them a 1a school. Charters are not traditional in that their drawing area is in most cases...

    My realignment proposal

    From the standpoint of a fan of a current MVAC team, I really like this Eddie. Not only do we stay away from the advantaged, but we lose Starmount as well. Most of the alignments I have saw have us ending up with Starmount though. Oh well, you gotta hope. Doesn't really matter in football...

    South Carolina Wrestles with Private/Parochial Issue

    Well what do you know. An advantaged school that does not want the playing field leveled. What a joke 85% of their kids may come from within 10 miles. Wonder how many of the other ones that come from farther away are good athletes.

    The best season of Wilkes County Footbal teams

    The best East team that I ever saw was the one that played during the 81-82 school year. That team included Calloway that ended up starting at App. one wellborn at quarterback and the other at tight end. They also had a really good running back on that team. Unfortunately we were 2a then and...
