As of 2017, latest information I could find on internet, Randolph has 793 square miles 11th largest in state.
Agriculture rankings in state::
#1 in Beef Cows
#1 in Goats
#2 in All Cattle
#2 in Milk Cows
#3 in Hay
#6 in Broilers
#8 in Layers
#6 in Egg Production
#10 in Total Farm Cash Receipts

Up until 2014 was way up there in tobacco production too but whole industry been going downhill since.

If those people want to look at those numbers maybe changes their minds.
Surprised we are that low honestly in chickens/eggs

I couldn’t tell u what’s at the end of RT8 Just going the way I like most. Is 103 to rt8 then those 2 rights
Your directions are coming from Patrick County and will take you to South Stokes. A portion of HWY 89 is also HWY-8 from turning left at the bridge up through Danbury, then about 4 miles the other side of Danbury is the Country Store and it has a Cafe in it also, you hang a right beside then another right and South Stokes is on the left, and HWY 8 takes you to Winston Salem. I traveled those roads in the 1980s about every week for 8 years. If going to South Stokes from Mount Airy I would ho HWY 52 to the exit that goes to RJ Moore, take a left go back across the bridge, and cross old HWY 52 where the old King Drive-In used to be then maybe 5 miles you cross HWY 66 and maybe 6 more miles there is an old Service Station on the right, hang a right there and South Stokes is maybe 3 or 4 miles on the right. I used to know the name of all those roads but it,s been too many moons since I traveled them. If coming from Winston, HWY 8 toward Germanton Rd. or HWY 66 off old HWY 52 is probably the way I would go depending on what part of Winston I was coming from to going to S or N Stokes. Now let's just keep the game at East Wilkes.

i know right...!!!! They will lose if they dont catch or tackle no better than they did against Starmount. EW qb put the deep ball on the money several times all year...just to see the receivers drop it! ...and how many game decision penalties such as roughing the kicker on 3rd down..are the Cardinals gonna make..It all starts with discipline and realizing whats at stake every down...especially 3rd down...They lost to Elkin as well due to aggregious penalties at inopportune game changing times!!

Best Defense...but such a WACK CONFERENCE. Atleast East Surry had Mt.Airy in 2019. Mt.Airy had no one this year. It doesn't diminish how good Mt.Airy is..but the NWC is awful...hopefully Mt.Airy can parallel Reidsville of now and Albemarle of the 90s that played in weak conferences but still won state titles.

Talking about the NWC this year, how about the team's Mount Airy played in 2008. Look familiar ? Take notice to the scores in 2008. Pretty much looking like this ear so far.

Thats what they all say!
Yep. Good Lord when I saw the likes of chatham central etc in the playoffs. There is no way in hell they were beating Thomasville. I remember they were loaded and destroyed a helluva East Bladen team at NC State.

This game is a toss up unless Graham plays, EW is missing big pieces everywhere. Coaches ego still remains bigger than the team. He still thinks he is at Mount Airy!!!

EW will be fine this week. I saw EW against Starmount. I also saw EW against Surry Central with Graham.

Yep..they were not beating Thomasville that year. Mt.Airy was very good though.
They both played one common team each to compare them by, East Wilkes. Mount Airy in the regular season, beating EW 57-0 and Thomasville in the playoffs winning 41-7. That has to speak some for my opinion MA winning the 1AA.
2008 Thomasville PF-591, PA-191 Mount Airy PF-845, PA -94... Bears win, JMO..

WHOA...
City slicker???
You ever been in Randolph?
That is almost as bad as the time some poster called me "Young Buck"...
We still give directions by where somebody's great grandparents lived or where somebody hit that big deer and tore up their truck...
And if you turn left at momma's you going into my daddy's 200 acres. Be careful around tobacco barns. Momma keeps pea shooter ready.
City slicker???
WOW...
Oh and one more thing: what city slicker knows what a narrow front John Deere 40 is? Plowed corn with one of them cussed things when I was eight. First tractor I drove was a Farmall 140 in tobacco field at age 5. Had to stand up to mash clutch. Been priming tobacco, getting up hay, chasing cows, pigs and every farm animal you can think of entire life. Killed our own hogs, and everybody else's around, until daddy passed 8 years back. (My heart wasn't in it after that). My closest neighbor is 2 miles away, on road or through woods...

City slicker???

Sorry about the length of rant but never been called that (and watching Braves and getting ill)...
LMAO. Kidd a city slicker?? That's like calling Nancy Pelosi a Christian conservatitve.

Comparing one game to say "we could have beat them" is a joke. Especially when both teams beat beat the opponent by 35+ points. Who is to say that Thomasville didn't pull starters after the first quarter, had players out, or rested some of their starters? What if EW had players out against MA? Now if Thomasville only beat them 21-7, then I would say they edge goes to MA, but when the scores are 41-7 and 57-0, you cannot go by that at all.

And MA scrimmaged Newton there in 2008. I sit on Newton side and they said either MA is that good or we are that bad. As we know Newton won 2A state that year. It was live game situation scrimmage and MA would won like 35-7 MA was that good.
Tarboro was 2a and got thumped by Newton Conover in the ship that year.

North Stokes is playing at East Wilkes. Give directions to EW and tell people to use the upper driveway closest to Elkin to enter. Good little walk to ball field and visitor bleachers are small.
I see EW winning this easily but NS will play hard right till the end.

TD was probably liquored up last time he went to NS. I bet he hasn't drove down there in 25 years
Do you really want to start BS with me, because I can and will put you in your place on here? Also, don't get yourself in trouble with a lie. You really stepped out of bounds with that comment. I pull for Mount Airy all the time and if they have a bad year, you disappear down a rabbit hole and whine and blame the coaches. Now you want to get on here and slander me with a lie. Everyone from the NWC knows you don't take 2 rights off HWY 89 to get to North Stokes as he said. It's 2 lefts from Mount Airy.

TD, I am sure Buzzcoach was just jesting. No one took him serious, I am sure. We are all friends on here. Right?
