Is there still a possibility they will combine?

No. Not for football. With 2A having enough schools, they won't move 1A up. Instead if they do not have enough teams to fill out the 48 team (based on 64 team brackets, with top 16 getting byes), they will reduce it to a 32 team bracket with additional byes if needed.

4.1.16 Bracket Sizes
(a) Classifications 1A-7A will have 48 teams placed on a 64-team bracket (top 16 teams receive byes, additional byes will be awarded when necessary).
(1) Brackets for 1A Championships will be reduced to 32-team brackets when necessary, additional byes may also be necessary in reduced brackets. (b) The 8A Classification will have 24 teams placed on a 32-team bracket (top 8 teams receive byes, additional byes will be awarded when necessary).

There are a couple sports that will be combined:
4.1.2 Classifications -
1A - 8A for all sports except:
(a) Women’s Golf and Indoor Track classes are 1A and 2A (combined), 3A-8A.
(b) Swimming and Diving - 1A through 3A(combined), 4A-8A
(c) Lacrosse 1A through 6A (combined), 7A and 8A
(d) Individual Wrestling: men's 1A and 2A (combined), 3A-8A; women's 1A through 4A(combined), 5A-8A.

Side note: NCHSAA should really hire a new proofreader. There were multiple spelling mistakes. Lol

They should hire a bunch of new people...sometimes the game has passed you by and new blood needs to enter. There are plenty of passionate people that would do well I'm sure.
