Kinda want to be different and take Elkin but just not sure they can hang with South Stokes especially after the points they put up last week

South needs a culture change, they have too much talent to not be better contenders than they are
They just got a culture change. As in a new head coach. He coached at Gaffney man. Bigger problem is kids like the one kid who plays basketball who is a division 3 bball player, at best going off to some B's school for that and not playing football. Beat thing for them is that they are supposedly going to combine North and south. Not sure if they will kick Kings stuck up butt or not but might get closer.

I think the consolidation has an uphill battle. Too much pride and personal feelings involved. Plus it's a long drive from the far north to South Stokes assuming they move North there. I think building a new high school somewhere close to the early college would be wise.

New coach is the first step I understand that. But if the community and players don’t buy in to what the coach is teaching it does no good. It takes a community, school employees, parents, coaches the whole 9 yards for a culture change. Good luck to the coach hopefully he can turn SS around. Like I said they keep talent just need the talent to work hard
