Since we all have some time to evaluate and we are all anxious to get started, are there early non-conference games which could indicate who the real contenders will be? If these are the best in the 1-AA west (West Montgomery, East Wilkes, Mitchell, North Rowan, Mount Airy, Murphy, Swain, East Surry, or add your own selection) look at their schedules and offer your opinion! Do any of these teams play each other out of conference? Do any of them play major contenders in other classifications? Looking forward to your thoughts! Happy Easter!
