3A RPI Playoff Projection Heading into Week 11

[Lincolnton]

They just take the 48 teams and put the 24 most Eastern teams East and the 24 most Western teams West. Geographic center is Irrelevant

Bless you, my friend, I didn’t have a clue.

Yes, but that wasn’t my point

If longitude plays into it (which it does) and the geographic center of North Carolina was the boundary (which it’s does not, for seeding purposes)seems like it would be easy to determine; but that’s a problem, too. From what I read, today, the geographic center is in dispute…The geographic center according to one source is near a place in Chatham County, called “Gulf.”
The other claimant is a location in Montgomery County called “Star.”
Which was marked by the Army Corps of Engineers, probably a long time ago.

Looking at both locations on a map of NC counties, Ramseur, NC, and the home of The Eastern Randolph Wildcats, looks to be west of the Chatham County location, but east of the Montgomery County location…After checking the longitude of all three, Ramseur is west of both, meaning, Eastern is western, and Rams10, is right by saying they’re on the left side (meaning western)of the state (As some down east call it).

Side Note: TheKidd, not sure if the dispute is to take you in or give you away. We’ll all know Sunday.

They may send eastern Randolph east though. But I was more responding to the comment of eastern Randolph not knowing about western ball

I almost regretted having to like that post! on another note we are really frustrated at West Craven today. A young man(24 yrs old) in Havelock killed his grandmother several days ago and set fire to the house. He took her car and left. Last night he was seen at bojangles in Vanceboro here. A deputy responded and was stabbed in the leg and the boy left running toward the apartments behind bojangles. So we had/ have a huge presence of law enforcement gathered in town. Hopefully they catch him. But they shut the schools down which means we can’t practice tonight or have our JV game. I get that it’s a serious situation but I think all of you agree winning our last game to go 9-1 is pretty dang serious too. And we are a bonafide eastern team!! ( I had too ) So it puts everything in a tough light. If Eastern Wayne was to upset us tomorrow there is no way to not feel slighted by it. Hopefully we do our part in a tough environment on the road. Would sure love for them to be able to have that extra practice. I’m sure the coaches have been meeting.

Yes sir it’s all just speculation right now, although Grizzly does a pretty good Joe Lunardi impression…
Gulf and Star, know them both very well. Star post office is extremely popular around Christmas time. People love sending that postmark…
Used to be a marker down below Erect, in Randolph County, claiming to be the geographical center (if I remember correctly).
Whichever is correct, Ramseur is almost due north of there…

Thank you, my friend. I should have spent more time around the center of the state. Have no doubt they're good people, you're my proof. Thought about you night before last and figured you were up watching the very long game. Hope you enjoyed it.

Fell asleep after 8 innings! Missed a whole other game and one extra inning! Dodgers in trouble now though I think. That ECU product did a number on them. (Saw all that one )


Oh ER played tonight instead of tomorrow and survived against Jordan Mathews 49-0…

Now it could come down to some longitude thing or dividing up of teams to determine which way folks come to Ramseur…

Glad the cats survived their trip to Siler City.
