    Charlotte Catholic and Cardinal Gibbons 6A

    Seriously? Cardinal Gibbons won one last week in womens indoor track and field. They won one in swimming the week before last. They have won 21 state titles over the past 4.5 seasons, 43 over the last 10.5 years and 93 over the past 24.5 years if my quick research is correct. I may be on the...

    Charlotte Catholic and Cardinal Gibbons 6A

    They should be moved to 8A. Better yet, the NCHSAA should kick out the private schools. The private school parents CHOOSE to spend big money so their kids DON’T HAVE TO GO to public schools yet they damn sure want their privileged kids to get to play the public schools in athletics. After all...

    New Hanover

    It just got interesting with Teachey leaving Topsail for Texas Tech. I think some would argue that THS is a better situation than NH. NH is 13-1 against Topsail. Add to that, NH won a state championship in 2017 and has 3 other East region championship appearances in the last 15 years. In the...

    New Hanover

    A program with a state championship and 3 other east region finals to go along with 7 10 win seasons over the past 15 seasons should draw some interest. Hoggard has control over the area now. NH, Ashley and Laney are all fighting for second place. This is a critical hire for NHHS. The right guy...

    Hey NCHSAA - Can you please get the 4A state championship broadcast figured out?

    State championships on tv?

    The game has started. The NCHSAA broadcast has not. Once they get realignment figured out maybe they can turn their attention to getting the broadcast of the 4A state championship football game figured out. This is ridiculous and there is no excuse for it.

    My realignment proposal

    Correct. What wins the debate……travel time/travel expenses/effect on academics v. competitive integrity/player safety/fairness of athletic opportunity? My opinion is that the 8A schools have a huge perk in having fewer schools to beat for a championship and they have an inherent recruiting...

    My realignment proposal

    Cardinal Gibbons in 6A would be a travesty. Players whose parents PAY to keep them OUT of public schools would win at least 10 “public school” state championships every year. Place them in 8A along with Catholic - or, even better, kick them out of the NCHSAA. Also, having South Brunswick (5A)...

    The Transfer Portal Problem

    I’m not calling it what I like. Unlike you, I am calling it what it actually is. You are correct about one thing, you did not say originally that Hoggard “does not get some transfers.” The fact is, you did not mention anything at all about transfers to Hoggard in your original post but instead...

    The Transfer Portal Problem

    Yes. Open enrollment meant that any high school student living in the county could apply to New Hanover and they would be admitted. The student did not have to provide a reason. As I posted above, New Hanover requested to have the open enrollment policy changed to open choice in 2011ish. That...

    The Transfer Portal Problem

    New Hanover is not open enrollment and has not been since 2011ish when the then principal Todd Finn requested that NHHS be changed from open enrollment to open choice - just like Hoggard, Ashley and Laney. The NHCS board approved this request. Frankly, I am surprised that you don’t know this...

    Turf

    The turf at Legion Stadium in Wilmington was installed for the 2011 season. After 13 seasons, the field has out served it’s projected 10 year life expectancy. The field is hard and needs replacement. It is way past time for all New Hanover County public high schools to have turf fields. For...
