Forsyth county goes till 3:40.
NCHSAA 2021-2025 Realignment = 25% 25% 25% 25%
- Thread starter TD-FridayNight
- Start date
Every school in the MVAC except Elkin and Starmount have 2 gyms. No reason to not do what I suggested with start times.
I don't think most schools in their conference do. Pretty sure SC and North Surry don't.
In the MVAC East Wilkes, North Wilkes, Wilkes Central, West Wilkes, Alleghany, and Ashe all have playable auxillary gyms. Won't have wrestling to contend with so shouldn't be an issue. With limited capacity won't have the rift raft you often do so makes admin coverage easier.
If they don't have 2 gyms then play opposite site for JV.

All the Forsyth schools in that conference does, heck West Stokes only has a half gym as their main one, not sure about a second one.
One night many years ago, I was at NW Ashe, probably pushing 7pm and they were introducing players for Varsity girls, when one of the cheerleaders being held up in air was dropped. Waited 45 minutes for ambulance, think it was pushing midnight when we got out of there. Still had to drive home.One of many reasons I gave it up
Mount Airy has 3 possible gyms. High School gym, the old Jr. high gym that was left after the Jr. High was torn down and the Middle School has a gym.
The Jr. High gym is also beside Mount Airy High because Jr. High was all part of the same building and did not have to go out side to go from Jr. High to High School
Yes. But they work closely together. With some coordination it could work. My point is that these are unusual times and innovation and planning may be needed.
restaurants shut down at 10 curfew from 10-5. I guess covid works third shift in bars
♂Not sure what your talking about but I imagine it's the incident that happened a month or so ago..evidently the punishment has been handed
out..Pantherdad must have been onto something a few nights ago.

It's aimed at keeping people from piling into bars and restaurants late night pretty much. That's what people do.
Well it doesn’t matter right cause the virus is airborne. Will they hang on each other at 930?
20 people spread across 10 aisle in Food Lion buying groceries at 9:30 is a totally different animal than 20 people drunk in a bar the size of your living room at 9:30 at night bunched up like a bail of hay. Not sure how difficult that is to understand.
If you want to drink, drink at home until we get back to normalcy.

Auxiliary gym? What the??? I realize ER opened in 1968 but the closest thing they have to that is the cafeteria...
You’re right. Cooper probably should eliminate on premises consumption of alcohol until this is over....regardless of the time. And I enjoy a nice cold beverage myself. But I do agree with his logic that most of the risky behavior takes place later in the night. The more cold beverages, the less sense most of us have. And don’t ask me how I know
Well the other states are finishing up football seasons. Georgia has full capacity. NC is going try to play football during march when covid is expected to be worse. Cooper and nchsaa failed on this miserably.
When I played for Reidsville many decades ago Mount Airy played its home games at the YMCA. Is that building and court still there?
Fewer schools have two gyms than schools that have one. It is hard to find many schools around here that have an auxillary gym
Robbinsville has 2 but the auxiliary gym is small. Only about 3ft from court to block wall or less
Guys I don't think space is going to be the issue, but when you start everything at the same time or you start the boys at home and the girls on the road, the issue will be the official's. Their already was a critical shortage of them, JV officials having to do Varsity games as well. Can we even cover playing at both places?

I know it may be different this year but I've never seen a jv set of officials do a varsity game the same night.
I know for a fact, it has happened Numerous times last year in the MVAC.
I don't doubt it happens, I've just never seen it and I've watched a good amount of ball over the last 10 years.
Varsity might have to start playing with a 2 man crew some. I'm sure they are some places.

I have seen quite a bit in our area lately, and Thunder spoke with a pretty good source the other day and the MVAC is planning on playing the boys at home and the girls on the road, and then they would switch the next time though. Will probably see alot of 2 man crews this year, plus most officials call multiple sports, how will this factor in toward the ends of season with over lap.
Playing 2 teams away and 2 at home is the best option by far.
Basketball shouldn't cross into football too much other than playoff games. There will be overlap with other sports though.
