    NC Rivalries

    Heavily biased towards bigger schools but no major issues with the list. Obviously would look a bit different if not based on current status of programs.

    Thomasville FB

    Coaching turnover, instability, questionable hiring practices. All interesting stuff but enough about Albemarle. How are things looking in Thomasville this year? Lol, just kidding, best of luck to the Red Dogs this fall. I'm sure they will be very tough as usual.

    Thomasville at Albemarle

    Vibe is a bit like 1994 . . . year two under Gaster, a resurgent AHS program gets trucked by a bigger, more experienced Tville team in round two of the playoffs in AHS' first postseason appearance in forever. Maybe the start of another big turnaround for AHS? Wish I could be there but am far...

    North Stanly vs Albemarle!!

    One of the best rivalries in the state. Throw out the record books. Hope for a great game with no injuries on either side.

    North Moore......

    Great job Mustangs. I remember when NM was struggling mightily ten-plus years or so ago. Always fun to see a program get turned around and the community get behind it.

    Albemarle Bulldogs outlook

    What is driving the growth? New jobs or just spillover with Charlotte/Concord people who are now WFH and want more space? I agree that if there's real growth then just moving the lines is better. But running four high schools when two are so small they can barely field sports teams doesn't...

    Newspaper coverage

    Follow the money. It's not profitable anymore for newspapers to cover HS sports (or much of anything really). Years ago every summer I'd wait for the Observer's HS football preview, then drive to the next county to the only Gboro N&R pay box for miles around and get theirs too. Used to be a...

    WHATS HAPPENED TO ALBEMARLE?

    Let's not get carried away. :) The series was dead even from 2001 (first of AHS' three straight titles in the early 2000s) through the end of Akins' tenure in 2012. Tville has had their number since, but even during that stretch, one of the worst in AHS history (five different HCs from 2013...

    Deana King ! ! !

    Thanks for everything Deana, you're awesome! While I cannot ordinarily countenance Tar Heel fandom I'll overlook it in this case :)

    Albemarle Bulldogs outlook

    Albemarle's problems have been well-documented on here and new_dawg does a good job summarizing them. Bottom line, as new_dawg says, politics and population shifts have made AHS a very different place now than it was 25 years ago. Agree that Gray Stone Day has had a major impact by drawing off...

    South Stanly HFC Vacancy

    Like the hire. Confess I have not really followed Terry's career but seems like a great fit. Best of luck to him.
