Sounds like Thomasville-Swain is locked into Thursday. Saturday not an option due to some transportation issues for Swain County.

Just curious why Thursday seems to be the only option instead of Saturday which everywhere supposed to be a nice day plus give these teams with sick boys another day or a couple days for the Thursday games a chance to recover.

Exactly my thoughts too. Im not sure if it would help gate any from EW perspective, but if i was coming to it, a saturday day trip sounds better than pulling a late night back home on a thursday. And the weather looks so nice for saturday. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Sunday afternoon would be even better. Gives the field a little chance to dry out. Could have a short sermon at the 50 yard line before kickoff and a long prayer after game. What do you think?

According to Asheville Citizen every west 1A game except for Mitchell - Draughn has been moved to Thursday.
No way Coach Pittman agrees to moving it to Thursday. It’s a very good move on his part and I’m sure if the shoe was on the other foot the Draughn coach would do the same. Besides it looks like it’s gonna be nasty either day. Monday sounds great to me 😀

From the NCHSAA handbook ...while I don't see anything about a postponement game during the playoffs this in reference to the last games of the regular season before the brackets come out but my guess is that this is probably a guideline they go by this during the playoffs as well because the updated brackets have to be announced.

(2) Saturday is the makeup day in the event of inclement weather on Friday (game time no later than 1 p.m.).
(3) There will be no other exceptions because of the importance of the seeding process.
The conference president must report the berths, conference standings and overall records as
required by the NCHSAA by 11:30 p.m.

It's getting close enough now where you can see the hour by hour forecast. In the Mitchell -Draughn game Thursday 7pm 97% chance Friday right now just goes to 5pm 70% chance.

I don't know if it will happen but I've been told that Mitchell and Draughn is working on moving the game to Saturday.
