If The Playoffs Started Today 3A/4A
- Thread starter encflatlander
- Start date
I do expect West Craven to win out and move possiblity to 4 seed in the east.
Im thinking West Craven, East Duplin or Reidsville rep the East.
If West Stokes is seated in the West, they are truly stronger than their record would indicate. I promise you that. I would pull for West Iredell and favor them but West Stokes at full strength is just plain good. (Just for clarification, I am a 3-A Mt Airy Granite bear supporter).
If they go East, then W Stokes could go even further, I believe.
Yeah Andrews will be in the mix. Very athletic team. Don’t ya’ll Andrews has a strong history.
Updated 4A West

Top 5 in 4A max preps are west teams, next 4 are east teams.

The restaurant???
Ain’t they got a dress code or at least require shoes and a shirt???
Oops wrong Lion…
My bad…
I hope you get a chance too. Hope somebody in the west gets a chance.
Just a poll. That one doesn't matter. See how everything plays out in the end.
And he was kidding.
Im just messing with yall. Rams were preseason favorites. Injuries set yall back, but yall are right back in the mix now.
Yeah, curious to see how we look around the first playoff game. The top 4 of Hibriten, West Iredell, Burns and Stuart Cramer will be a battle, with a few sleepers in the mix.
RPI strikes again. Thomasville scored 28 points in less than seven minutes in the first quarter in a game that was called in the first quarter. Dropped two spots from 5th to 7th. Our conference is killing us as far as seeding.
I really think they need to go to region play. Bad teams can play each other and not be automatic drags on rpi
I say do at most 5-6 team conferences which gives you 4-5 conference games and let teams be able to schedule the other 5-6 games as they want.
Highland is gonna kill us this week and there's absolutely ZERO reason we should be playing them
Or just do away with conferences all together and let teams make their own schedules....

I like the idea but it would never fly. Too many teams would be left without games. Who is going to play HT? Travel would become an issue.
How about allow teams to drop the lowest rpi team in their schedule from their calculation.
I bet Draughn, Patton, West Caldwell, North Gaston, North Iredell, would like to play Highland Tech.
I like that idea too. Like how you used to be able to drop a game when we were allowed to play 11 games but only reported 10 for playoff seeding
Drop Highland Tech and Cherryville / BC from our conference and let us have 2 more non-conference games.
How about in 3 years when they look at everyone’s enrollment and reevaluate everyone, a new 4A/5A conference with Burns, Crest, East Gaston, Forestview, North Gaston, Hunter Huss, South Point, Stuart Cramer? Hopefully FV and HH get it rolling, and NG and EG improve some. Would be a very good football/baseball/basketball conference. Based off of last year, would have a State Champion in Football, Basketball, and a baseball team that lost in the state championship series and a few others that made it to the final 4 in their divisions.

Only one potential issue. Burns current Freshman class is only around 130 according to what I was told during orientation this year. It is not looking like it is getting any larger seeing that the youth football leagues had to merge. In no way would it surprise me if Burns dropped to 3A next realignment. It would also be interesting to see how Shelby's numbers line up. It would be crazy if we swapped.
Your right Cramer might move back to 5A when that happens. Also EG could be very close to 5A.
I was just throwing some things out there for fun. I firmly believe Cramer will move back to 5A in the next realignment, and maybe EG too. So much growth in the eastern part of Gaston County. Logistics are terrible over here for the amount of houses being built.
Somebody much smarter than me would have to run those numbers
While I get the frustration and Trinity isn't really a football school, you never know who is going to have a good year or not. Sure you have the Shelby's, Reidsville's, Mount Airy's, etc that normally will have a 8+ win season, but just last year Thomasville was a .500 team and some could say you were bringing down other's RPIs.
Other thing to point out, Thomasville played four non-conference games this year against teams that are 0-8, 3-5, 2-6, and 1-7. That is a combined 6-26! Looks like it isn't just Trinity and the conference to blame.
chatgpt might could handle it given the right prompt.Somebody much smarter than me would have to run those numbers
