[Vik-Val 86]

Looking at Friday Nights in Carolina 4A early preseason power rankings this is what I seen in top 15. I’m sure other polls be different.

1) Chambers
2) Grimsley
3) Rolesville
4) Charlotte Catholic
5) Hough
6) Butler
7) Cardinal Gibbons
8) Mt Tabor
9) Cleveland
10) Myers Park
11) Wake Forrest
12) New Bern
13) Leesville Road
14) Glenn
15) Providence

 

[NewBernBears]

New Bern too low!!!! Just my personal bias opinion

 

[Doppleganger#]

No West Forsyth? Don't know for sure what they might have, but usually their pretty good.

 

[UNC91]

New Bern too low!!!! Just my personal bias opinion

New Bern, right where they want to be. 4a is going to be strong this year, I've got NB coming out of the east. Mark it down!!!

 

[Powidz]

So Cleveland has moved up to 4A this year?

 

[Vik-Val 86]

So Cleveland has moved up to 4A this year?

Yes they are in the Greater Neuse River Conference. With teams like Clayton, Garner, Fuquay-Varina and others.

Good start. 4A packed. Dudley, East Forsyth, Richmond Co., West Forsyth (and I am a Charlotte area person) omitted, plus several others with the potential to make some noise. Cream will rise during the season. Beauty is that some in this list play each other. Right now, everyone is undefeated, everyone is optimistic, all teams look good in shorts and all fans see a path to the House.

Whaaaaatttt..... you mean Richie Rich didn't make the list?...lol

Nope ‍

VIK VAL is it too early to know if Cleveland will be 4A or 4AA? Im hoping they go 4AA because I want to see how RB Hampton performs against the best in the playoffs. I personally feel he is the best RB in the state.

 

[sammyk]

There is no 4A or 4AA, its just 4A so Richmond, Cardinal Gibbons New Bern Cleveland will be in the same bracket as Rolesville, Hoggard, Wake Forest Leesville Road

 

[BlackAndYellowFellow]

Nope ‍

Seems like 2019 was their best shot. Not really sure about what they have coming back, but probably nowhere near 2019.

 

[rcoraider98]

Whaaaaatttt..... you mean Richie Rich didn't make the list?...lol

Where is the skirts?? 3A thats right. Barley snuck in at 13 on this ranking that means zero. See you gals in November

 

[btango]

Is this year Hough gets over the hump?

Will Rolesville come out of the east again?

How will Catholic and Gibbons fair playing in an open 4A?

Going to be very interesting.

 

[Powidz]

Thanks sammyk and I really admire the job you have done at Rolesville.

 

[ScotlandAlumni99]

lol...Richie will be 3A in another 10 years or so... Richmond County numbers are falling off as well... I saw Scotland going 3A many years before it happened, and I see similar in Richmond... I hope and pray I'm wrong.

 

[Chute Boxe Hero]

Grimsley has a nice little opener at home against Clayton. I'm very interested in seeing how Clayton does this season. I'm a big fan of Coach Handy.

 

[Chris_Hughes]

One has to scratch their head at the absence of Richmond. No way are they not a Top 5 to 10 team in 4A. Only time will tell.

With all due respect, these guys polls have looked strange for each classification. When are the ncpreps polls coming out????

 

[Chris_Hughes]

Deana hasn’t announced our 2021 ranking plans, but we’ll be doing something different with polls. I’m not sure what the timeline is.

 

[Doppleganger#]

AC Reynolds what might they have this year? Week 1 AC Reynolds vs West Forsyth another that didn't make the top 15. That should be a game to watch.

 

[Rocketeightyeight]

ACR is a top 15 team imo. Defensively, one of the best squads in WNC maybe even the state. Young on offense but those players gained some valuable experience this past spring.

 

[Chris_Hughes]

If I were posting a ranking, West Forsyth would probably be between 15-18th and A.C. Reynolds would probably be around 30th, but as I've told a lot of folks, the 4A is about 65 teams deep in regards to very high-quality programs, and I think the gap between 20-40th is razor-thin.

Not the same without you on the beats.

 

[GeorgiaJawJacker]

Isn't Weddington 4A?

 

[Vik-Val 86]

Isn't Weddington 4A?

Yes

 

[Chris_Hughes]

Weddington may not be a Top-10 team this year, but they are still very good and very much a Top-20 team, which is still pretty darn good in this stacked 4A.

 

[Chopper747]

I'm surprised the Greensboro all star team didn't get first place.

 

[Serstylz2]

Catholic should not be ahead of Hough, Butler, Gibbons or Tabor. They did their thing in 3A but this 4A world might be humbling.

tabor coming from 3a as well. Catholic has been 4a before. I don’t get you guts sometimes, a good team is a good team regardless

 

[Ladge_rivals481197]

and last time they were 4-A they won a championship

4A is going to be humbling for everyone. Can’t afford to have a bad night, or come out flat. Playoffs will be loaded with quality teams from top to bottom. CC has face the same competition, or better competition throughout the years. Nothing new for them.

As a die hard fan, I agree...today. They have been there before. Was small 4A for a while where they won and lost a state championship game. Also in a mixed 3A/4A conference as a 3A team that they won about every year. 4A won't intimidate them as they don't shy away from anybody, having lined up against the likes of Mallard Creek, Gonzaga, Good Counsel, (Northwestern, SC when they had Mason Rudolf) among others over the years. 4 straight state championships with a lot of returning players this year says they can be competitive regardless who they play. Their style of play will frustrate a lot of teams that like to chase rabbits and to race up and down the field. I am cautiously optimistic but would put them in the top 20, not top 4, until they prove something. In five weeks, I might be a little more mouthy but if they show up with their B game they can get thumped, as Weddington showed a couple of years ago. Right now everyone is undefeated and everyone looks good in shorts. That all changes in 10 days.

 

[BlueandGold34]

Small 4a

 

[rams10]

Small 4a

smh

 

[mpj2k8]

Small 4a

There are small 4A teams that can compete with 4AA teams. I think Grimsley would have given Chambers a better game than Myers Park.

 

[ForsythCoNC]

Yea, Grimsley would have given Chambers a better game than Myers Park for sure. Still would have Chambers winning that game though.

I'm extremely excited for football this year. Gone are those awful sub divisions and we're left with what should have been here from the beginning. 1a, 2a, 3a, and 4a. This is real football imo.
