Prep has six losses this year. 3 were to the top on the conf. East Surry, Walkertown and Mt Airy. The other 3 came against the powerhouse 3a -4a schools in forsythe county. Robbinsville will win but prep won't be intimidated.

You forgot their loss to a North Stokes team that got beat 27-7 by 3-8 Union Academy in the first round.

This game should be over in the 1st quarter. No offense to anyone but when Union Academy is in the conversation, the teams aren't very good. I was glad for a conference team to get a win, but WM beat them 70-0 and didn't really try. And they are better than NS and WSP. Robbinsville should have a field day with WSP.

Fellas,
Something those scores don't tell you is that ES, MA, and Walkertown let off the peddle. I know in the our game with them the starters were out with about 2 mins left before the half and the score was already 42-0. Prep is athletic and has some pretty good players. Their achilles heal has been were they are relative a new program they made a lot of mistakes early in the season. Not sure about them now as it has been weeks since I have seen them. #2 Cobb for them is a moose and can run like the wind. Robbinsville shouldn't have any problem with them as long as they don't let them stick around. BK, relax man!! The one thing they don't have is tradition, yet!!!

I have no dog in this fight, but I'm rolling with R-Ville on this one, but sooner or later WSP will dominate across the board.

Disagree, WSPrep will never dominate across the board. There are no feeder middle schools where the kids are learning the right way to play with dreams of one day playing for the local high school like the traditional power programs. No tradition nor will there be.This is the real key to having a winning program season after season, decade after decade.

Question #1 is how did they do it in basketball without feeder schools ?
Question # 2 how many players on most Forsyth Co. 4A varsity teams and how many players on the jv teams ?

Friday, one really good basketball player can make an average team really good. West Forsyth, East Forsyth, Mt. Tabor, Reagan all have 100+. Usually 40-50 on varsity and 50+ on JV. Add in Davie county and North Davidson with those numbers also.

Just a reminder, there is Middle school BB in WSFCS. But no football, baseball or softball. There is a committee exploring cost of MS football now and I think it will happen in the next couple of years.

Wow I didn't realize that there was no football in fc middle schools. Guess that makes playing in their first year as a varsity team in a conf and making the playoffs plus winning their first first round ppayoff game pretty good

Listen ive always pulled gor robbinsville. But if w
Perp went to east forsyth, west forsyth, reagan, mt tabor ect and got its best players robbinsville nor any other 1a would have a chance. If Prep was east forsyth this week the knights would get desroyed. But Prep isnt so knights by at least 4 tds. My point is, again, that they could be and thats total NCHSAA bs.

My guess is if you're pulling in all these extra players you wouldn't remain 1A.

This is my thoughts,with all those players on say 4 of the 4A schools you will have several player that are good but don't think they get enough playing time. Just 2 from each of the Var. or JV teams can go to WSP and than can make a totally above average 1A school playing in small 1A knocking the other 1A & 1AA down to being 2nd place and below in the conference and dominating small 1A in the playoffs. With experenced players coming to WSP it wouldn't take but a year or so with good coaching to dominate 1A. Is that not a reasonable thought ?

I agree.
You can be really good when you buy a team, just look at Bishop basketball.


I don't get their argument lol. So if Robbinsville had all the best players from Murphy, swain Cherokee, Andrews and hayesville they would never lose another game in the history of the world. Wow, see how easy that was.

Friday,

You just don't understand, WSP, Atkins and Walkertown get very little attention from local media. Do you ever see the Winston paper on Saturday morning, usually on page 6 there will be a small article about these schools. Sorry this is not a one horse town, heck Mt. Airy get more triad media attention than these 3 schools get. These kids want to be at the big schools, sometimes part time play get them far more exposure that full,time play at these school. The college recruiters come to see the stars, then notice someone else. Maybe not interested in that part time player but tells his coaching buddie at D-2 or D-3 school about him. Also bet that the four big schools I mentioned are in every college in NC recruiters phone.

Just watch a normal Friday highlight show, how often do you see WSP, Atkins, Walkertown and Bishop. But most Friday's you see Mt. Airy and East Surry.

Reynolds, Parkland, and WS Prep are also magnets.

My mistake, the only one in my mind is Atkins because it is strictly academic related. There you go Fridaynights, a 4AA high school in RJR is a magnet school. And Parkland a 4A high school. How has that worked out for them in football? They have been a cellar dwellers for this decade I believe. They have the same opportunities as WSP.

Could that be because they are in the city and East & West Forsyth alway has the better teams and with no boundries at all they chose to go to E & W Forsyth.That's all I have to say on the subject. Let it get back to the topic of WSP vs Robbinsville. No one ever wins this subject of magnet schools. Hope it gets settled by the NCHSAA before the non magnet 1A schools get walked on year in and year out !

Not as much as West Forsyth, East Forsyth , Mt.Tabor, Reagan, RJR. Think about it, those 4 schools have about 9 thousand students between them. They also represent the areas that have above average income in the county, the people who still buy newspapers.

Now what does being in the city have to do with East & West Forsyth alway has the better teams . If you have no boundries the the students are going to where the winning programs are ! Terminado
You are the one that said " could that be because they are in the city".
I Only speak English, not sure what "Terminado" means.

The city schools are far older schools and E&W Forsyth were built in the early 70s .I remember Mount Airy beating Parkland in one of their playoff games when they won the state championship in 1968. They were both 3A then and there was no E or W Forsyth then. Terminado means , end or finished. That is all I have to say.

I'm aware this is a football thread bk, which brings up the question, why in the world would you reference Bishop.

The first graduating class from West Forsyth was 1964, which means it opened in the fall of 1963. I do believe East Forsyth open one year prior to West Forsyth. Parkland opened in the fall of 1966. Also, Atkins opened in 2004 and I do believe Walkertown is 5 years olds. Now WSP is in an older building. It is in the original Atkins HS. Thats keeping stars away I'm sure.

I just remember Mount Airy beating West Forsyth a couple years in the early 70s .I believe they played 3 times and MA won 2 out of 3. I may be wrong. I hope some remembers how many times we played. I think the games were played there and it was said at that time the school was new.I guess being less than 10 years old it was new. I don't remember them coming here but do remember going down toward Clemmons for the game and compared to Mount Airy the school looked new.So my bad and lets let it get back to WSP vs Robbinsville.
