    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...

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

    I think Tarboro should win by at least 24. I'm not sure if Murphy will score. Looking back at the Starmount game against Murphy. If not for the fumble at the goal line and the penalty that gave Murphy a first down in Starmount territory they may not have scored. However on a nice field they may...

    Western Conference Final: Starmount @ Murphy

    No I'm sure that they were affected. If you're honest you knew all week that sloppy field conditions favored Murphy. Starmount wasn't worried about Murphy running on them. No one has all year except for Taeshon Martin with 3 big runs. East Wilkes has the fastest backs in 2A and not one of them...

    Western Conference Final: Starmount @ Murphy

    I don't think you have the mental capacity to have a conversation about this so I'm gonna stop at my last statement.

    Western Conference Final: Starmount @ Murphy

    The best team won on Friday night in the conditions that they had to play in. The best team on a nice field did NOT win. This one will be a tough loss for a long time.

    Western Conference Final: Starmount @ Murphy

    No I'm not making excuses. Murphy won fair and square and were the better team tonight just like I said. They earned it
