    Bishop McGuinness FB job

    Drew Hackett is the new Bishop coach, hired today from 4A Hough. Marlon White coming in from E. Guilford to run the defense also. Pretty good snag for Bishop. We'll see if he can get the turnout up enough to churn out some higher quality teams.

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

    Listening to Que Tucker's press conference, it sounds like they're ready to make a move on it though when they get to the committee. First time I've heard her or anyone openly talk about what they'd need to do to make it happen.

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

    Not quite. They just moved the discussion to a later date this spring to be discussed as a separate issue from the BOG meeting. I'm assuming that's because that debate alone would end up taking up the entire day and they have other things to deal with too. I don't think anything happens this...

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

    I really don't think this is something that lawyers will get involved in. The only time litigation was threatened was when Rowan Co. tried to hit the eject button on the parochials a few years back without evidence of any wrongdoing. Most of the charters and parochials have acknowledged the...

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

    I think EVERYBODY, the charters & privates included, would be on board with the separate playoff classification. I did find it somewhat amusing though that Coach Gentry advocated for keeping them in the football playoffs as it obviously directly benefits his team and others like his. Allows for...

    Article about non-traditional 1A schools

    The lottery is only if the school is full, from my understanding. Otherwise they're essentially open-enrollment public schools.

    Millennium Charter Academy Athletic Complex

    I can't imagine anyone is going to be sending their kids there with an eye toward athletics, at least not right away. But I'm sure it'll start eating into the ADM's of both North and MA, which could hurt the depth of their athletic programs over time.

    Millennium Charter Academy Athletic Complex

    Is this the one in Mount Airy or thereabouts?

    2017-2021 new conferences posted

    Wasn't one of the issues that the Surry County schools had last time was that the MVC didn't want them either? And, that was in addition to North Stokes demanding to be attached to MA and East. I don't see why any of that is going to change this time around. When you've got 20-30 schools that...

    PLYMOUTH HIGH SCHOOL VIKINGS (13-2) vs. ROBBINSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL BLACK KNIGHTS (12-2) UPDATES

    As big and physical as Robbinsville was supposed to be, Plymouth has bullied them all over the field so far. Starting to run away with it now.

    Mitchell Over Walkertown To Play WRH For (State Championship)

    Haven't seen Mitchell before, so can't speak to them. Walkertown is on a different level right now though. If Mitchell can slay this dragon, more power to them.

    Walkertown @ East Surry Round #3

    Great season for the Cards. Fun team to watch this year. Walkertown is on another level right now though. They're a locomotive running downhill blowing through anything on the tracks in front of them. I'd LOVE to see them get a crack at WRH or Kenan (no disrespect to Mitchell).

    Walkertown @ West Montgomery

    Said it waaaaay back at the beginning of this thread that, had Walkertown been allowed to play a typical 1A/2A non-con schedule, this game wouldn't have been happening in round two. This is a very good football team that really hit its stride the last 3 weeks of the regular season. West Mont...

    Walkertown @ West Montgomery

    Walkertown routing West Mont now...definitely didn't see that coming. Wouldn't call it a huge upset, but the manner in which it's happening certainly is surprising.
