I have said several times, I would take Shelby and Lincolnton against the field. So a 50% chance of repeat in 3A. I would say Reidsville is the favorite (so yes a repeat is definitely possible) but I think they will have serious competition coming from the West this year. Not familiar enough with the East to comment.

Hendersonville will be tough in the 3A. It was a battle in Lincolnton last year. Looking at Hendersonville schedule. They should finish the regular season 10-0. They most likely be No. 1 seed in 3A. They return a lot of production.

unless Lincolnton or Shelby go 10-0. but I’d toss Hendersonville in the mix

Not saying Reidsville won't repeat but they lost a good bit from last years team. 4A will be really tight.

I’d say good chance we say a repeat. Hendo will be good, Lincolnton supposed to return a ton. Hard not to pick Shelby based on the name. And based off the way they beat Kinston. I’d say the 3a champ don’t come out of the East.

In 4a I’d still put my bets on Reidsville coming out of the east. Now Burns, Stuart Cramer, Hibriten and a couple others are supposedly going to be really strong in the west. Strong enough to knock off the Rams???? Time will tell

That's bold statement, hendo whole line on both sides is gone except 1 player. You do return all your skill guys , not sure you will win your conf.
