They have St. Stephens in and North Lincoln Out. The only way this is not a mistake is if North Lincoln opted out

They pulled the bracket, do you have a copy? If that's the only change most of us could still get a look at who and where our teams will play Friday.
I brought that up after the first prelims. then 2nd prelims had the same. The only reason I see it happening over North Lincoln is they opted out??? I look back again at the North Lincoln schedule and they beat St Stephens and ahead of them in conference standings?????
Not a big NL FAN. If that’s truly what happen I feel sorry for seniors. I remember EL going to Pisgah the #1 seed in 2018 and pulling the big upset of #1. Then losing to NL the next week but that’s why you play the game.
They played a independent schedule and that disqualifies them.
Yep. Athletic director said it was due to amount of injuries team had this year. Alot of teams have had alot of kids hurt this year. I think it's a cumulative effect of limited strength and conditioning the past 2 years due to Covid restrictions.
Opted out? Wow
They had twice the kids we had, unless there's about 25 injured, you'd think they'd play. I'm flabbergasted.
How does that happen? Team vote? Parent petition? Principals call?
I'll bet Bazzell is fit to be tied. That guys a warrior.

They played East Friday and looked pretty good actually gave East a run for their money. An thursday had a lot dressed for JV and won that going away. But it is strange when u work all year for something and have to give it up. Feel sorry for seniors tough way to end a season.
Also heard that 3 players were injured this past Friday of N. Lincoln. I don’t how many players they had playing after all the injuries. But I remember back around ‘94 season South Iredell which was 3A back in the days had around 28 players start of season. By the 3rd game they were down to around 22 players due to injuries. Some playing both ways. They still won the conference. They had some good quality players. Couple players that were RBs also was their DBs as well. They were studs.
That’s an interesting point you made about the strength and conditioning limitations possibly effecting injuries.
We'll...I was wrong about Coach B. After reading the media release, it appears they really just opted out for a few injuries, and left dozens of players out of the danged STATE Playoffs. Not my dog, not my fight...but dang.
I joined their Facebook group when Pack became coach for that one year because of his connection to Burns (even though I don’t post)…their fans are not happy and I don’t blame them.
