As long as 1a is Saturday it's all good. It will be one of nchsaa dumbest moves ever if 1a is on Thursday or Friday.
2a also

Why is that different than any other division?

What's up with this? LR makes sense but Durham County Memorial? Odd.

Agreed I don’t mind LR but Tarboro makes it and they get put in Durham County it’ll be a bummer in my opinion

 

[TarVikes1]

they shouldn’t hold the games at any stadium that doesn’t have a video board

If I was a betting man, I bet 1A and 2A both end up there.

6, 7 and 8 will be at Kenan and 3 and 4 at LR would be by guess.

Used to be a dump, maybe city has spent some money on it.

Wish they didn't have it at stadiums where your thirty yards from sidelines.

Looks like they've renovated a bit. Has turf now.

I wonder what led to these decisions. Crazy to not see NC State in the fold. Surely a home basketball game for NC State that Saturday wouldn't prevent them from using Carter Finley.

 

[TheJims]

I don't see the issue in trying to see if you can play at Elon, UNCC, Catawba, or even NC Central.

I still wish they'd hold western finals at App

I agree that's more than likely how it'll play out.

 

[TarVikes1]

Honestly who makes these decisions? How can they be so out of touch to think Durham County would be a good spot?

I would have liked to seen NC Central used over Durham County Memorial Stadium...

Holds more than Lenoir-Rhyne does.... so quite interesting there....

I think this is a temporary thing. Que tucker said in her interview with the grit and grind, they couldn't get Carter Finley this year due to parking issues. I'd have picked Elon over Durham county though

 

[Deana_King]

They have had events at that area before at the same time.

1a and maybe 2a will likely have the most travel by alot. Saturday would seem best for those traveling farthest. The bigger classes will be a hour from unc so it's just like a normal regular season game

Friday would be better than Thursday.
