Father in law grew up in Andrews/Marble area. He passed several years ago but still has family up there. He was a Coffey. We had a cabin for several years but sold it near Andrews. Wish we would have kept it now.
Andrews at Starmount

Will do, debating it big time depends on a few things and how they go. Love Yadkin County.
Andrews fans,
You may want to stop for dinner/supper in Statesville. I would also advise to take the 421 exit at I77 (Winston-Salem exit) due to road Cindy and possible delay. Go about 2 miles take Hwy 21 exit and take a left. Follow SHS signs. Go about 2 miles and take a right on Longtown Rd. Stay on that road and school is on right.

Statesville would be the best bet but honesty Iād go on back to Hickory which isnāt much farther (provided you are coming that way) and stay there. More options and much more food options the next day.
Thank you
Iāve stayed in Hickory quit a bit and I think itās a little safer than Statesville. Appreciate it
@Wildcat10fan you looking about 35 minutes to Statesville and an hour to Hickory. Deanna can inform you about brand name hotels around there.
Yes there are plenty options in Jonesville which is about 10 mins north of the Starmount campus off I77 with plenty of fast food places. Any normal year this would be ideal to go up 77 but that stretch of 77 from 421 to Surry County has been a death trap with several fatalities.
Restaurants at 77 & 67 intersection with above motels
McDonalds, Wendyās, Cracker Barrel, Bojangles, Arbyās, Waffle House

There is a new Fairfield Inn in Statesville, and a good Holliday Inn. Both off the I-40/US 21 intersection. That area isn't too bad. As for safety, there isn't much difference in Statesville and Hickory. Both have parts to avoid.
Your best bet would be to just take a short trip up into Jonesville to the Hampton Inn or Best Western. There is also a really nice Fairfield Inn in Elkin.
As for food, skip the chains. Check out Generation's in Jonesville, Southern on Main in Elkin, 67 Pizza in Jonesville, Skull Camp Brewing in Elkin, or Angry Troll Brewing in Elkin.

I liked Skull Camp, but thought Angry Troll was a little better. Some good live music at Skull Camp when we were there.
I haven't been to Skull Camp in some time, someone told me they had changed the menu and it wasn't as good. But worth a shot if you like smoked food.
What is the Pizza place on main called? You might have named it, CRS is kicking in.
I will take downtown local Elkin restaurants over any of the chains in Statesville or Hickory.
And of course you canāt beat Harryās, if you can get near it.

Forgot about Harry's.
Statesville has a few solid places downtown. Hickory has 1 or 2.

It's not on their scheduled games to cover yet, it could be Mount Airy vs East Wilkes if they cover one of the games this week. Check the URL below later this afternoon or tomorrow morning.
I would be surprised if WIFM doesn't cover East Surry and Forbush.

They are doing a youth football event this weekend.
WIFM will be at East Surry.

Called it. I love the job WIFM does and understand if you get a chance to give 2 local teams air time, you do, but at days end go with the better matchup in your central location. Bush and East will be decided pretty quick.
There is an issue with the signal at Starmount involving WIFM. Hopefully it will be resolved by next season.
I was told that they are committed to doing a youth football event this weekend and it would not work out in doing the Andrews-Starmount due to logistics.
Starmount has been working on the NFHS camera issue and should know tomorrow if it will be in use.
Itās just one more day !!
Both teams have seen it all. Theyāve seen physical strong running games and strong defenses. Theyāve seen spread offenses with speed and passing games. It comes down to execution of all three phases of the game and who makes the fewest mistakes as in turnovers & penalties. My guess itās to close to call and will be decided on the field by the players not by some old armchair QB like me.

This is the event we are doing should be a fun one. Also because of the NCHSAA's preferred vendors, aka the organizations that give them kickback's we can't do games that have NFHS. So the combination of not knowing about there camera situation and us being committed to an all day event Saturday we couldn't make it work logistically. If I could have known for sure Monday that we were going to be allowed to do both games we would have tried to pull off both. Thanks for the kind sentiments from several of y'all. We strive to continue to highlight and promote local athletes.
Deanna, spent some time in Boonville today. Took my family to Sanders Ridge. Not surprisingly, they seem to think pretty highly of you on your home turf
