To be honest if Hickory or Maiden made it I don’t know if L-R could accommodate the crowds.

What’s the seating capacity?

Will the NCHSAA take in consideration the possible crowds that some teams bring? There are some programs that will bring huge crowds while others don’t.

Durham County Stadium is 8500.

LR would be a great atmosphere if Hickory and/or Maiden made it. They'd pack it out with more than just the fans.

Watauga is also about an hour to LR

No reason 1A and 8A could have had their press conferences today, and play this weekend.

Of course they could have played next weekend and avoided Thursday all together. They used to play 8 in 1 day.

I would hate the bye as a coach, especially considering that some already have had a bye.

It actually does make a lot of sense to do 1a and 8a this Saturday. By doing that, the kids would not have to miss school. But this is the nchsaa we talking about.

I mean most will miss at least 1 day of school to go down Friday if they play Saturday.

Playing on Thursday, Robbinsville likely leaves Wednesday afternoon, stays Thursday, plays Thursday at 4 is my guess. Get back late, and who would expect those kids to show up Friday?

If they win, they will go to school. No doubt.
