    Way to early 2a state championship predictions

    On paper, Corvian should demolish everyone in 2a this year. Has any team in 1A/2A ever had this level of talent on one team? How many D1 players does Corvian have, not to mention smaller college prospects?

    Way to early 2a state championship predictions

    If these are recruited players then I would agree with you. I can't speak for either team though because I only know what I read in the groups. Based on recent history about Starmount it seems they have been on the losing end of transfers in the past few years.

    Way to early 2a state championship predictions

    According to Deana at least 5 players have transferred in so far. Also their best lineman will be back after suffering an ACL injury during the middle of last season. Not sure how all this plays out.

    I heard one of the better players from East Wilkes may be coming as well. Have you heard anything about that?

    Tarboro in the East and Starmount or Corvian in the West. Murphy will be tough as well. I think the state champion will come from the West this year. If Starmount can get the transfers in like Corvian then I think the Rams will be state champions in December.

    Mountain Valley 2A/3A/4A 2026

    Starmount should be the top team in the conference. They're my pick to go to the State Championship. I have heard rumors that Starmount will be getting some other players coming in(not from Elkin). I'm really intrigued with what Alleghany is doing up on the mountain. They're building a very...

    Elkin HFC job filled

    I agree. I think the College game has really affected the mindset down into the high schools. It's just a different mentality now. Transfers happened years ago but it just seems to be more commonplace or expected now.

    Elkin HFC job filled

    Even before this I have been hearing that some kids are planning to transfer over to Starmount to have a chance for a championship run. I wouldn't blame them one bit for doing it. Lot of talent in such a small radius with East Wilkes and Mt Airy all nearby.

    Way too early 2026 Preview

    As Deana said, Starmount should be one of the favorites to come out of the West. The Rams lose some good players but return several key players as well, also had a good JV team that should help fill spots. I'm afraid that Corvian will be in contention next year also.

    FINALLY…Tarboro vs. Murphy for the ship…who ya got?

    I also said that they had a good defense and probably the 3rd best in the 2A West. How is that discrediting them? Not even sure why you're in this conversation to begin with. Let's just drop it. Good luck to Tarboro and Murphy on Saturday.

    Come on now, reread what I wrote. 3rd best DEFENSE! 🤦

    FINALLY…Tarboro vs. Murphy for the ship…who ya got?

    Starmount's D was the truth this year. I would've loved to have seen it against the run game of Tarboro, not that I think it could've been stopped this year, but just as a measuring stick. Murphy has a good one too. I do think East had the second best in the West behind Starmount. Excited to...

    FINALLY…Tarboro vs. Murphy for the ship…who ya got?

    I'm just basing my prediction off the past game and years past when Tarboro faced Mt Airy. In my opinion Starmount was 7-14 points better than Murphy and I didn't feel Starmount had a chance at all against Tarboro. I also base it on previous championship games when Tarboro faced Mt Airy. Murphy...
