2008 VOLLEYBALL SCORES & DISCUSSION

[cheeze105]

We've had some interest expressed about doing a seperate forum for volleyball. We need to see if the interest generated by this will be enough to warrant a seperate forum. So lets concentrate all of our volleyball information and discussion on this thread.

thanks

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a volleyball game, battle of the unbeatens, Watauga came to AC last night for a conference showdown, good crowd and great volleyball, Butler (Watauga) best setter in the conference by far, well coached team, Watauga took the first match, then AC took the next two, it looked to be all AC's match in game three until Watauga came storming back to take a 17-15 lead, then the match was dead even until Watuga was able to win the forth match, heading into the fifth and final match, AC dominated the net with great play from the middle and outside, Watauga passed the ball soooooooo well it was hard for AC to get a pass off because of Watauga's perfect sets, anyway AC pulled it out, WOW, bet it will be another great game when AC travels to Watuga at the end of this month...... GREAT VOLLEYBALL BY BOTH TEAMS, KEEP PLAYING HARD!!!!!!!!!!!

[hotsundad]

Way to Go Cougars!!!! Keep it up

Hey....lots of work being done in Elkin. Coach Hendrick is back and after Zero wins last year, got one win this year and looking up.

[topdog5532]

That's good news!!!!!!!! Keep up the work, I think a lot of teams, Ashe, Elkin, Surry have started JO volleyball in the summer and that is really helping the high school programs..........that has helped ours..........Good luck with the rest of your season hotsundad..............Maybe we can get our own thread for volleyball!!!!

[NOGA87]

The Lady Titans season home opener against East Gaston.

How bad did Hopewell beat EG? I know some of those girls from club ball...and I think I saw some familiar blurry parents faces in the stands.

[bb210]

In the CCC 2A West Davidson beat Ledford 3-2 to take first place in the conference Thursday.

[cheeze105]

looks like North Gaston is the team to beat in 3A, having handed crest its first defeat in conference in about 4 years i'm told.

east gaston is the team in 4A i understand.....

these two face off against each other tomorrow....results to come.

[hotsundad]

Busy week for the Cougars from Alexander Central. Today @ S. Caldwell. N. Lincoln comes to T'ville tomorrow and @ McDowell on Thursday. Go Cougars!!!!

[topdog5532]

If we can get past this weekend, we can get a good indication of the rest of the season. Heard McDowell is playing pretty well this year..Our girls are playing pretty well also.............

[hotsundad]

AC @ S. Caldwell

The "Volley for the Cure" was a great idea. Both teams wearing pink. Playing with a pink volleyball. Even the refs using pink whistles. If your family has ever been touched by breast cancer, you can appreciate all the awareness.

[patsfansince85]

Maiden sweeps Hibriten 3-0

[hotsundad]

[topdog5532]

Great game to watch, Reynolds has a powerful middle hitter #12 very solid, AC played as a team though, they used several angles from there setters and capitalized, big game frm AC's middle hitter with several blocks, outside hitter had good game as well, but all around good defence by the entire team.
AC won 3-2 and are 11-0 .............CONGRATULATIONS to both teams for a great game..............

[vbdad]

:xyxthumbs: let get ready for EBHS lady cougars

I hope the jv team can learn from the varsity team and get ready for next year, except for the outside hitter, all the girls played JO's and it shows that it help them not only to play better but play as a team

[PersonRocketDad]

Well I was away from TBR for awhile and didn't realize we had a volleyball thread!! This is great!
As of today (09/18/2008) the Defending State 4A Champions Person Rockets from Roxboro NC are tied at the top of the conference with East Chapel Hill. Both are 5-1 in conference play and will face each other again in two weeks at Roxboro. The Rockets are 11-2 overall and looking very strong again despite loosing 5 of it's starters from last years Championship team. NExt week will be a crucial week for the Rockets as they face a strong Chapel Hill team and also Riverside who has handed the Rockets there only conference loss to date. Both games will be at Rocket GYm.
Pac-six conference standings are hard to find but at the top is Person and East Chapel Hill both tied at 5-1. Riverside and Chapel Hill are tied in second at 4-2 and Jordan is 3-3....the other schools I have no clue but are not contenders at this time. This conference once again this year is very competitve in my opinion.
Will update again next week.

[vbdad]

topdog, with all do respect, i don't think she is the best setter, she is good, but there is more than just one in the conference, liz from ac is not only good setter but also a good defensive player, mcdowell got a good setter too, and the girl from east burke too

[vbdad]

let get the word out abouth this board, so we can have one dedicated to volleyball all year round, lets not forget travel volleyball so we can post scores and progress of all girls playing travel ball, if any body has pictures and scores can you post them as soon as you can?

:N1GodIloveyou:

[topdog5532]

vbdad,

Yes, Liz is a very good setter, Butler just seems to not make any mistakes, also, can jump, very good server as is Liz, very solid, plays defense very well, and you did point out some other good setters in the league as well, as you know though, it takes a good pass, good set and good KILL!!!!!! All in one sequence, that's where we have improved at.........

[kmale]

topdog and vbdad,

Topdog your right, Butler is a good setter, but I have watched Liz work at her position, Liz is a very good setter and that is one reason we are able to compete, but I have to mention the rest of the TEAM, from the passing to the POWERFUL middle and outside kills! We probably have the best middle and outside hitter in the conference.........Big bench!

[topdog5532]

Yes, kmale, I have watched the team improve, The middle for AC hits the ball as hard as I have ever seen, and the Morris girl is just an athlete, they are fun to watch...........Who would of thought, VOLLEYBALL at AC is coming together...........:Reagan-hittin-head-

[vbdad]

as of september 22 the standings are as follow

NW 4a..............conference......overall

New to the volleyball scene, you can tell from my username. Looking into club volleyball (DD is a freshman), but she still wants to play school softball in the spring. Is it possible to juggle both along with schoolwork? Are there any clubs that cater to this situation? Any advice about club volleyball - she's played travel softball for years. Thanks for the volleyball forum - it's a great sport!

[PersonRocketDad]

Last night the Chapel Hill Tigers swaggered into Rocket Gym and took a bite out of the Rockets and swept the Rockets 3-0. The Tigers were very sharpe and played as a team with nothing to loose and were very effecient against the Rockets. The Tigers payed the Rockets back from there early season loss to the Rockets 25-19/25-22/25-19. The loss by the Rockets dropped them into second place in the Pac-six.
Other action in the Pac-six:
League leader East Chapel Hill had there hands full at Riverside but pulled out the win 3-2. 23-25/26-24/25-19/20-25/15-11.
Jordan was at Nothern Durham and swept the Knights 3-0. 25-17/26-24/25-10.
Standings as of 09/24/2008:
East Chapel Hill: 7-1 PAc Six 10-5 Overall
Person: 6-2 Pac Six 12-3 Overall
Riverside: 5-3 Pac Sic 9-5 Overall
Chapel Hill: 5-3 Pac Six 5-9 Overall
Jordan: 5-3 Pac Six 11-4 Overall
Northern: 2-6 Pac Six 4-9 Overall
Southern: Unknown
Hillside: Unknown

With 5 teams making the playoffs this year from the Pac-Six Conference there is going to be a battle for that top spot for the conference champion as home team advantage is BIG during the Playoffs. Will update again after THursday night games as the Rockets have a crucial home game against Riverside in Rocket Gym.

[hotsundad]

2upthemiddle, it will be difficult to juggle both JO volleyball and travel softball. Both happen in the spring. If you were the one in control of practice and tournament schedules for both teams, you could make it work. Otherwise somebody gets cheated somewhere. Same with basketball. The AAU and YBOA seasons are in the spring. Trust me, I would like to see athletes play everything, but sometimes it can't work. Good Luck!!! I hope it works out...

[PersonRocketDad]

Is it possible to juggle both along with schoolwork? Are there any clubs that cater to this situation? Any advice about club volleyball - she's played travel softball for years. Thanks for the volleyball forum - it's a great sport!

2upthemiddle, I'm going to offer my opinion (and it's just an opinion plus some experience).
First I think it is great that an student athlete plays more than one sport. But also if a kid is better in one than another they may want to start specializing in that sport and refine there skills in that sport. Not to mention the cost to the parents and time commentment. But that should be up to the student. If they want to play two sports I think it is great. Now if you have a legtimate athlete with college potential in a sport......I would concentrate on that sport.
Now back yo your original question. And I am going to address this from to perspectives. One as a coach and one as a parent.
Coaching Perspective: What kind of club ball are you considering? I ask this because of cost and time for you as a parent and what kind of committment will I get as a coach. There are different levels of competition for club ball and vastly different levels of money you can spend. if she is looking just to play the sport do a local club team (ask around your area for who is good) and be upfront with the coach about softball. Most will work with you about the schedule. One advantage you have is the Carolina Region Volleyball Tournaments are already scheduled for 2009 as probably most softball tournaments so you can look at potential conflicts. All Carolina Region tournaments are usually on Saturdays only unless there is a exception for some reason. Now if your daughter has the potential to be a stud volleyball player you may want to try out for a club team that plays more on the national level and travels more out of state to the top tournaments and will see the best competition. These tournaments are also already scheduled and you would need to be upfront with the coaches going in if there may be a conflict. Most coaches will work with a kid if they play both. I know I have in the past.
Parents Perspective: Money, Money, Money!!! Unless you daughter has the desire, committment, and skills to play college volleyball OR softball don't waste your money with travel teams so much. Having already been through and experienced recruiting for my son and highschool baseball and currently with my daughter and volleyball and seeing the recruiting process in both sports one thing is a constant; if they are good they will come and see your kid! I truly believe money is best spent if a kid wants to be seen by going to schools and attending there camps!! Especially the ones that have other college coaches working the camps. And in volleyball the big out of state tournaments are where the coaches visit to see recruits and like other sports the coaches are a close knit family and share information on players.
Volleyball IS a great sport and a great experience for kids! I didn't mean to get long winded and this is just my opinion as I am sure other people have some information to share also.
I suggest you go to this website for tons of great information for our state region volleyball association called Carolina Region Volleyball. The schedules for the 2009 season are already posted with tentative dates. Also there is a listing of all clubs in the state.
www.carolinaregionvb.org
If you have any questions or want to discuss more drop me a private message. Good luck to your daughter!

Thanks for the information. I kind of figured travel softball and club volleyball were not a good mix, but wondered about high school softball mixed with club. Sounds like the best bet is to be upfront with the coaches about scheduling difficulties. As for potential, the coaches think she has some, but I'm new to this thing, so who knows? I looked at the schedule on the link - does it really end for most players by mid-April? What do the summers look like for those committed to volleyball? Attending camps and summer practices with the school team? One more question - sorry - is it best to try out for an older club team and be told you're not good enough, then fall back on one of the younger teams?

[vbdad]

The best thing for a player is to play on theyr own age bracket, I do coach travel volleyball, and on years past have girls that play up and also that play sofball, on my personal opinion is firts: stay as much you can witing your age group, is more fun and enjoyable second: on my personal and humble opinion, stick with whetever sport you love the most, it hurts a team to loose a player in the middle of the season and is hard to find a replacement later on

Attending camps and summer practices with the school team? One more question - sorry - is it best to try out for an older club team and be told you're not good enough, then fall back on one of the younger teams?

I will try and address your questions in your order:
1. You can play volleyball year round if you want to. For the regional teams only (In North Carolina) yes the season ends in mid april usually. For those who play at a higher, national level they play in to June and in some cases July.
2. Summers here for the highschool girls starts in June sometime with conditioning and weights and some open gyms. In July we have a annual volleyball camp for all ages that the Highschool girls work at with the younger kids and it has been a great success and in my opinion has helped the Highschool program and keeps the younger kids interested in volleyball. Some of our girls attend college camps in our area also. I have one or two I would recommend if you are interested but I will not post here. Don't want to tick off anyone!! :)....Just like any other sport they do need a break sometimes. We played this year all the way into June....so when we finished I didn't let my daughter touch a ball until July. She did workouts with her team but no playing.
3. I agree with vbdad on this one. Let her play in her own age group and if she is good she will shine and have fun! If she is only a Freshman she will enjoy her own age group more for now and if she developes into a really good player then you may consider moving up in age groups for travel ball. Age DOES make a difference. And to get a perspective of that watch a JV game and then go watch a really good varsity team with some Seniors and Juniors with experience and observe the difference in the speed and skills of the players. In some cases it's really a big difference. So in my opinion let her play with her own age group.
Just a bit of advice...keep an open mind, be positive, don't judge her and let her have fun!!! it breaks my heart to see parents kill a kids desire for something with harsh comments or negative comments. I promise our kids are trying there best and in most cases they want to please there parents!! So we don't need to yell or shout at them....just encourage them and listen!! Some of my best times so far with my kids has been just listening to them talk about games......they just might surprise you!!!

[vbdad]

The Person Rockets had a repeat match against the Riverside Pirates last night at Rocket Gym. Pirates were the first team to hand the Rockets there first conference loss of the season back on September 2nd. Well last night was some extrodinary Volleyball from both teams!! This was fun to watch!!! The Pirates came in looking to upset the Rockets again and looked if they just might do it by taking the first match 13-25 from the Rockets. The Rockets came out a little flat. But the Rockets found there game in match 2 25-19. Match 3 was a tough hard fought match from both teams with some awesome volleys on both sides. Rockets took that match 28-26. But the Pirates would not go away and took match 4 23-25 and again some awesome volleys and defense on both sides. In the 5th and decisive game the Rockets came out smoking and jumped on the Pirates and won 15-10. Rockets take the match 3-2!!!....13-25,25-19,28-26,23-25,15-10

[topdog5532]

BOY! What a big game tomorrow night in Watauga, The Pioneer's will be ready for the Cougars, The tuff Cougars are playing pretty well right now, hope the don't get complacent, or the Pioneers will prevale. It will be loud and a great game, Watauga always has a good volleyball program. I don't think you will be disappointed if you make the trip to Boone tomorrow night..Good luck Cougars, keep up the good team play.............

[vbdad]

Well a heart breaking loss for the lady cougars, I honestly don't think watauga won the game, I think ac just didn't play their best, a lot of mistakes by the team, they still pretty good, just need to get up and go to the next game.. gooooo cougars. :feedback:

[PersonRocketDad]

Rockets take over first place with a 3-0 sweep of East Chapel Hill at Rocket Gym tonight. The Person Rockets had there game facess on tonight and had a mission as they swept the wildcats in 3. I will provide scores and conference updates later
Go Rockets!!
Rocket JV's remain undefeated in conference play defeating East Chapel Hill JV's 2-0.

[mitchellp]

Were you at the same game tonight? (watauga-alexander central) Watauga won because they played better, hit better and just played better as a team. I think you may be a little confused, AC really did not win the first match. Watauga was off and played their worst match of the year and still took it to 5 games. Tonight was the real Watauga, just good team work and awesome coaching.

[bobcatgreenyellow]

Well a heart breaking loss for the lady cougars, I honestly don't think watauga won the game, I think ac just didn't play their best, a lot of mistakes by the team, they still pretty good, just need to get up and go to the next game.. gooooo cougars. :feedback:
I agree with mitchellp on this one... I suppose you didn't attend the same game tonight. It is obvious who the better team is. I honestly don't believe you can compare records when looking back AC has not been up against challenging teams out of conference like Watauga has. But tonight was good volleyball and both teams came out with good things. Good luck to both talented teams with the rest of their seasons.

[vbdad]

Im going to agree with you, Watauga won the game, but also ac play one of their worst game, all hitter were off target, score was 3-0. and I'll going to say great coaching by Watauga, they always have a good volleyball program. will see have we finish at the end, let keep the most important think..........play,have fun ...enjoy the game

[vbdad]

let not put no teams down, ac have play some good teams as good as watauga, I don't think we need to put anybody down, specially went girls play hard, unfortunally one win the other loose, let cheer for all volleyball girls that give 110%

[vbdad]

the real game was at ac, I think both team play their best, not because ac won, but because it was a well play by both team, the real winner of the game was the people that watch that game, I think both teams are the best team in the conference this year.

[vbdad]

let be honest i wacht the game as you did, the ac play good? i don't think so, do they were off target? yes watauga was the best tonite.

Nobody is putting down teams. This was a great volleyball match. Bottom line is that Watauga leads the games 5-3 in the two matches. It's not fair for either one of us to evaluate the opposing team if we haven't seen them play all their games. I think it was you who said Watauga didn't really win tonight, which sounds rather silly in a 3-0 match. This was a legitimate win in a competitive match.

[mitchellp]

the real game was at ac, I think both team play their best, not because ac won, but because it was a well play by both team, the real winner of the game was the people that watch that game, I think both teams are the best team in the conference this year.

For the record, Watauga has beaten all conference opponents 3-0 except the one match at AC. I think AC lost a couple of games to AC Reynolds and at least one game to East Burke. The results speak for itself.

[topdog5532]

WOW! I WAS AT THE MATCH TOO!!!!!!

Hats off to Watauga and there coaching, they were ready! they back set, they front set, they quick set.......AC's passing was terrible, there sets even worse and there hitting was non exsistant...........not the AC I have been watching, Watauga was the better team tonight, they did everything right, they made EVERY pass, EVERY set, and most of the hits. THEY SET EVERY PLAY, they challenged AC everytime at the net, the AC players that needed to preform didn't, AC free balled almost EVERY play, hard to win like that...As far as schedule, AC has played several tough teams this year, they beat Newton Conover , good team, Davie County, Statesville, North Lincolon, how did Watauga do against Newton Conover? and as you know in Watauga, it's hard to win EVERY game, dosen't matter how good or bad the teams you play are. Watauga and AC are 15-1, (Watauga may have 2 losses) because they are playing well as a team and have good coaching, good summer programs, and are the 2 best teams in the conference.....Hats off to both teams, and good luck girls! AC girls, keep your head up, it's almost impossible to go to Watauga and win, I can't remember the last time AC went there and won..........

You asked how Watauga did against New Conover...they have never played them. How did AC do against Providence? Watauga beat them. I actually thought several of your AC players did well. It seemed like the passers were picking up a lot hits. Watauga was just ready for them last night. They played an awesome game as a TEAM and that is what it takes to win against other great teams. I agree, Hat's off to both teams!

[topdog5532]

AC v Watauga

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BOY! What a big game tomorrow night in Watauga, The Pioneer's will be ready for the Cougars, The tuff Cougars are playing pretty well right now, hope the don't get complacent, or the Pioneers will prevale. It will be loud and a great game, Watauga always has a good volleyball program. I don't think you will be disappointed if you make the trip to Boone tomorrow night..Good luck Cougars, keep up the good team play.............







Another post had them scheduled to play NC, I just knew we played them, we were never scheduled to play providence, Do play Mooresville Monday night, they are a solid team, but if we don't play any better than we played last night, we wouldn't beat ANYBODY..........

[mitchellp]

No, we are playing Tuesday...South Caldwell. We play this weekend, King's Mt. and E.Lincoln at Kings Mt.

[topdog5532]

I got NC cofused with Fred T Ford, they beat you didn't they?

[mitchellp]

we played them twice. First, we beat them in 4 and the 2nd time they beat us in 4.

[topdog5532]

Foard is a very good team! I thought they beat you once! That is my whole argument, I think AC beat you once, their a good team or I thought they were............Watauga somewhere around 15-2, loss to foard and AC, AC is 15-1 loss to Watauga, Foard somewhere around 15-1, these are good teams, we all play a pretty tough schedule, Watauga may play the toughest schedule in country, you still can be beat at anytime by any team if you don't come to play.........I can't even give a compliment to Watauga, I tried. Here's a personnal one..........GO CHANDLER, keep up the good work................Good luck to the NW4A

[vbdad]

top dog who is your pick for top playesr in the conference?

[vbdad]

topdog, the you see the games ac played agains, ac reynolds, mc dowell, davie county or watauga the firts time. and what is your take abouth the second time with watauga?

[topdog5532]

Boy, that's a tough one! Middle for Reynolds is very strong, Middle for AC is strong, Middle for Watauga is very strong, Middle East Burke is strong. Setters for AC, Watauga, East Burke are very good. Outside hitter for AC and outside hitter for Watauga and Mcdowell are pretty good......That narrows it down to less than 15, your thoughts?

[mitchellp]

Foard is a very good team! I thought they beat you once! That is my whole argument, I think AC beat you once, their a good team or I thought they were............Watauga somewhere around 15-2, loss to foard and AC, AC is 15-1 loss to Watauga, Foard somewhere around 15-1, these are good teams, we all play a pretty tough schedule, Watauga may play the toughest schedule in country, you still can be beat at anytime by any team if you don't come to play.........I can't even give a compliment to Watauga, I tried. Here's a personnal one..........GO CHANDLER, keep up the good................Good luck to the NW4A

the watauga record is 17-2. I do not recall anyone from Watauga saying that ac was not a good team. If I am correct, it is only people from your side that said they did not play well and that Watauga did not really win the game. Please! Yes, we all know how you feel about Chandler. You have stated it many times. We think she is pretty awesome too. It takes more than a setter to win games. All of our girls are the bomb! I also do not recall Watauga saying anything about not being able to be beat. Where are you pulling that one from? Not me! This all started with you guys trying to take a good win from Watauga. They won in 3 because they played hard as a team!! When you guys beat us, did we get on here and say ac didn't really win it? Nope...we didn't. I think everyone agreed that ac is a good team. I do not know anyone from Watauga that would say otherwise.

[vbdad]

I may have said something that came acroos the wrong way, yeah i said that ac loss the game, but never intended to take anything from watauga, we all know that they have a good program, but i was just traying to said is that ac just didn't play to their potential, i been to all their games, and know what the are able to do as a team. go watauga and go cougars, one think is for sure, it shows that went girls play jo's their school team get better, do you agree?

[mitchellp]

by the way...

Thanks for the sorry. I did feel it took something away from Watauga. Thank you for saying you did not mean in that way. We are very proud of our program and I am sorry you do not feel your team did their best.

Good Luck to both teams for the rest of the season!

[topdog5532]

I NEVER said anything negative about Watauga winning, In fact everything I said was positive, I was just trying to make a point to what you said about the records of both teams.......I know it takes more than a setter to win, (It takes a whole team) just as I stated earlier...........I think the girls on both teams are awesome, and will do very well in the future, My sincere appoligizes if I offended anyone..........:nopityA:

[vbdad]

can we just moved on on the game? i will like to see who are you picks for all conference :sombrero:

[topdog5532]

I give you my top players, it's your turn...

[topdog5532]

I give you my top players, it's your turn...

Boy, that's a tough one! Middle for Reynolds is very strong, Middle for AC is strong, Middle for Watauga is very strong, Middle East Burke is strong.

Ill give you some of them sorry but don't know all their name but maybe you or somebody else knows

for Whs Chandle & sherwood, Sch, # 17, for ac Rhs # 12, for Ebh Collins, ac Liz, Kirtin you turn

[topdog5532]

Agreed! throw AC's middles, Crisp, AC setter, the girl from Mcdowell, all are legite, I think kirsten made it last year and Loudermilt was honerable mention.all good choices, but still a little early, don't want to take away from the other players either.....TEAM concept.......

As far as AC is concerned, they may set some school records this year. most wins,most assists, most kills, all for good reason.........

[vbdad]

well i know is to early, just trying to get a feel on some of the girls, and what other players we need to keep in eye, i know our vote don't count, but still fun to recognize this oustanding players :medal:

[topdog5532]

It is exciting isn't it, to think AC volleyball has come a long way.....A lot of talent there.........A few years ago when you talked about competing, AC wasn't mentioned.......Speaks well of the program........AC is certainly not the best of the best but they are moving in the right direction........Speaking of outstanding players, several of the girls we mentioned from several schools are very good at other sports, ALL CONFERENCE! And are even finer young Ladies and students..............Scholar Athletes!

[MTNMOM]

Just been reading all the comments and just couldn't hold back anymore. I was at the game last night between Watauga and Alexander Central and you know I am pretty sure there were 6 players on each side of the net not just one or two! All the girls on both teams deserve a big hand for playing so hard none of them like to lose. All parents think their kid is the best so lets not just pick out one or two to comment on this is a TEAM SPORT!!!

[mitchellp]

You are so right! I hate when you guys single out certain players that you KNOW personally. Most of those girls read your comments on this board and it is hurtful when you give all of the credit to one or two players. I also think it would be really tough to pick Watauga's all con. players, because they are all so good!!

[vbdad]

I don't think we are single out players, once again we are making big deal out of nothing, we were just trying to go away abouth my comments on the game, also we didn't mention just one name we mention several names just for fun, i'll agree with you guys all ladies deserve to be recognize, they play there lives out there, I think the most important thing ,is that 1. jo's really improves school teams. 2. girls get to fell comfortable with eachother in the court. 3. we will like to see a more competitive conference teams. regarless what school they from, remember anything that get girls/boys away from drug, drinking and make them better student is what is all abouth it.:invasion:

[vbdad]

I mention several names of girls i know or that i got their names from their school website, from all conference, no preference was giving by me, on any of the girls from any school, i just mention the ones i think are playing well at this time, it may change at the end of the season:bonk:

[ucnttouchthis]

[whspioneers]

Last year I couldn't get 3 people to post about WHS volleyball and now we have an all out war fare between Alexander and Watauga. Also knowing WHS, we have some in fighting from parents because their child isn't getting the recognition they deserve (they all work just as hard and should all be honored). Honestly I hear that once a week.

Watauga played like crap when they went to Alexander and lost in five. Alexander played bad (according to your fans) and got swept. It will come down to what each team does vs ACR. WHS has them at home, AC on the road. If not we will play a tiebreak for the #1 seed.

As for praising one player because she played well on hear, big freakin deal. Chandler did have a great game, if this guy wants to point that out good for him. Just like if you want to say your daughter had a great game, its your choice.

[PersonRocketDad]

Lets please keep the thread clean and positive people. I am thrilled we have a volleyball thread but I can tell you the moderators of This Board Rocks will not tolerate parents negative comments, negative comments about programs or coaches. Keep that stuff to yourselves. If not they will lock the thread!!!
Also if we keep this a clean thread maybe just maybe it will grow and some college coaches will read some good things about players and programs....and yes coaches do visit TBR!!!
Ok to mention certain palyers that are good and have potential. But back up your info with stats and names.

I would like to say thank you to all that post here about there scools and conferences!! This sport has grown by leaps and bounds this past few years in NC especially at the high school level and club ball. And when club season starts we can start a thread for that!!!

Good luck to all and the playoffs again this year are going to be great again!!:trophy::trophy::trophy:

[cheeze105]

personrocketdad is correct, lets not let this thread and replies go to waste. we're pushing for a seperate volleyball forum and it wouldnt help. everyone is entitled to their opinion, its all in the delivery.....everyone is entitled to pull for their school, but also respect the other schools as well. lets just keep this excellent thread going and not waste the time and effort that has been put forth by so many.

here's hoping we can get a seperate vb forum!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vbdad]

ok lets keep it clean from now on :chillpill:

[hotsundad]

Thank You cheeze. The reason I asked ( I am sure I am not the only one)about a separate forum for volleyball is to promote the sport and the girls who the game. It can and should be positive.

Any updates on the status of a separate forum?

Everyone can help promote the site....tell your friends in other areas....

[cheeze105]

with over 3000 views and 5+ pages of posts, this has become an obvious popular thread, we're pushing for its own, i believe we have more response and interest here than girls basketball, so keep posting, keep it clean and informative.

thanks

You can't even give a compliment on this site, but you did try, I appreciate what you said.......Certain players do stand out, so we do need to recognize those players, TEAM sport or not, you did it in a very positive way..........Some players do stand out in all sports, and if you look on the bball site, the sball site and all of the other site you will find kids singled out ALL the time, that's life, as far as this ALL Conference thing, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO, GIVE ALL CONFERENCE TO EVERYONE ON EVERY TEAM, WOW! get real!

[vbdad]

The lady cougars won the game 3-0 vs SCHS. good crowd, not as much I expected, lady cougars raise over $2,700.00 for the foundation:N1yeeaah:. Eastburke beat Freedom 3-0. does anybody else have other game scores?

[cheeze105]

my dd never played volleyball, consumed by softball. so tell me something about club volleyball, some of the large clubs, locations, how many games they play, when their season starts and ends and just how much does it cost to play club volleyball. i'm trying to compare this with softball travel ball.

also, in our area (NC) what college has the dominate volleyball team/program in D1, D2, and D3 and who would you like to be interviewed as a college coach????

[cheeze105]

with playoffs coming soon, I want to remind the volleyball players that the chances of you being seen by a college coach increase with every game you go further into the playoffs. you need to always have it in the back of your mind that "you're always being watched". your conduct during the game is just as important as your conduct before/after the game. college coaches look for not only what you do on the court, they also look at your conduct coming onto the court and leaving the court and also your conduct on the bench. I would also like to remind parents/players that if you see a college coach in the stands, you can only initiate contact after the match is done, NOT during the game. If there is more than one game, you have to wait until the last game is over. This is also the time of year when you should be carrying a stat sheet with your vital information on it. If anyone is interested in what should be on this sheet, contact me and i will post a sample on this forum.

[vbdad]

for all the information abouth travel vb. you can look it up at
www.carolinaregion.org (http://www.carolinaregion.org). it got clubs names and numbers

The Person Rockets traveled to cross county rivals Northern Durham last night and swept the Northern Knights 3-0. 25-11, 25-14, 25-23. The Rockets were in sharp form last night and still have the top spot in the Conference secured.

Hopefully, TBR can play a role in giving much needed attention to the players, schools and clubs. I have found the more attention you can give to a sport the more it grows. Good luck to all the players and schools. Let's see if we can help push more teams on the Top 100 list

THANKS! It's great............Glad to see so much attention..

Thanks Eagles for the info! Who is leading the Metro-6 conference so far?? I know several girls from several of the Metro schools and was just curious. Several girls from the Metro Conference schools play club ball with my daughter. Thanks again for the info and keep us up-todate on East Forsyth!! Good Luck!

[Eagles 1313]

Right now the conference standings look something like this

1. Northwest Guilford 8-0
2. Page 6-2
3. East Forsyth 5-3
4. Grimsley 3-5
5. High Point Central 2-6
6. Smith 0-8

I know they all have 2 conference games left this week with the conference tournament starting next Monday....East and Page play Thursday at East for East's lone Senior Night and if East wins I think there will be a coin flip for who is #2 and #3 in the tournament with the one who goes the furthest in the tournament carrying out the #2

[PersonRocketDad]

If anyone has any big games this week lets hear about them!! Post game times, locations and what teams are playing.

The Person Rockets have a big game Thursday night at Jordan high-school in Durham at 5:00pm. If the Rockets win this game they will be the regular season Pac-Six conference champs and the #1 seed going into the playoffs from the Pac-six.

[jarrettfan]

achs beats mooresville 3-0 today in tville!!! ac is now 17-1

[vbdad]

is going to be down the wire between achs and whs for firts place, achs will play mc dowell tomorrow, the girls play good today. goooooooooooooooooooooo cougars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vbdad]

Rocket dad. After tomorrow achs will play ac reynold on Thursday, that is going to be a big game for both teams, a must win.

[rocketfan1]

is going to be down the wire between achs and whs for firts place, achs will play mc dowell tomorrow, the girls play good today. goooooooooooooooooooooo cougars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought you guys already played them. They are a wonderful team. Did you play them twice already? I heard they were first and probably going to do really well in playoffs.

[rocketfan1]

Rocket dad. After tomorrow achs will play ac reynold on Thursday, that is going to be a big game for both teams, a must win.

good luck to both, but go Rockets!!

[cheeze105]

welcome rocketfan1 to this board rocks volleyball forum....:trampoline:

[topdog5532]

Great win yest.

The JV's are also doing very well, 2 losses this season, they have a very good setter and outside hitter, this team is explosive!
Big game today against Mcdowell, then Thursday against Reynolds!
Good luck to the girls!

[whspioneers]

WHS plays South Caldwell at home today.

Thursday (I can't believe i'm saying this but) LET'S GO ROCKETS

[topdog5532]

I can't believe your saying this either!!!!!!!!!!!

[bobcatgreenyellow]

Have to say...let's go rockets!!!. This will be a good one.

[whspioneers]

Usually if WHS cannot win something in this league I hope that Alexander wins it since I like most of Alexanders athletic department. However I have to pull for AC Reynolds so WHS can be in control of their own destiny in this league.

[topdog5532]

Well, I am the same way, I usually pull for Watauga if AC can't win, but it dosen't matter, they both will do well in the playoffs........all 3 will make it.
should be a good one Thursday..........Don't forget, Watauga has to play Reynolds again also.... It's volleyball, anything can happen!

[rocketfan1]

would love to see the the rockets take the next game. After that, I really think I would like watauga to win it. They are a great team with several good players. We have great players too. This is just not our year. You never know, we play watauga at watauga soon. That would be quite an upset.

[whspioneers]

I thought WHS would have trouble at ACR as it is always a hostile atmosphere however Alexander will attest to this, WHS has the most raucous volleyball atmosphere in the league. It would be a tremendous upset to beat WHS in Boone esp since thats senior night.

[rocketfan1]

didn't know it was their senior night. not that it should make too much difference. The rockets will all be there in full force too. Whs came to win last game, the girls were blocking are best hitters and we just could not return anything. We will see. Should be a loud game anyway.

[topdog5532]

Yes, always difficult to win there! I'm pulling for Watauga anyway! Think they are the better team......Taking nothing away from Reynolds though! They have a good team.....Watauga is just solid all the way through......Should be a good one to watch. AC has to be ready for today, then Thursday........It will be loud at Reynolds, no doubt.....

[rocketfan1]

Yes, always difficult to win there! I'm pulling for Watauga anyway! Think they are the better team......Taking nothing away from Reynolds though! They have a good team.....Watauga is just solid all the way through......

but I think their front line is all young players and that may make them weak at times. Not sure if that is correct. Actually heard it from a dad on their team. The good new for them is if they are all young, they are going to have a good team later.

[topdog5532]

Don't know what grade there middle is but, she is good.....Thought she was a Senior.. Reynolds has one of the best middles I have seen, Senior also I think.

[rocketfan1]

again not sure, but I think both of their middles are juniors or younger. One is blonde and and the other one, a little taller with dark hair. The dark hair one can slam the ball hard. At last years game, she had like 14 aces in one game with us, it was crazy. I think she is going to be great when she is older. Just not sure if she is 10th or 11th

[rocketfan1]

Don't know what grade there middle is but, she is good.....Thought she was a Senior.. Reynolds has one of the best middles I have seen, Senior also I think.

we think so too!!!

[vbdad]

sorry i may be loss in this but, who are you or wich players are you talking abouth?

[rocketfan1]

I think we are talking about several players...in agreement that the our middle (for acrhs) is one of the best around.

[vbdad]

I m going to ....gulp..... agree with you, she is powerful

[vbdad]

But am still think that ac has one of the best outside hitter and a real good setter, who can play a real good back road, anybody agree or disagree?

[vbdad]

A topdog, I don't know abouth you but,the you watch how many visitor we have had in this forum in the last month? i know back in september were only a few hundred and now over 4000

[rocketfan1]

But am still think that ac has one of the best outside hitter and a real good setter, who can play a real good back road, anybody agree or disagree?

Actually, if we are being honest. The setter is pretty good, but compared to the rest out there, I don't know. Maybe she had an off game with us. I am not saying she is bad by any means. I can't remember the outside hitter so much, but I am terrible with names. They all must be pretty good to have gotten to this level in the conference.

[vbdad]

they are good player, that how they got here, liz the setter is on her way to brake school record for most assist this year, also she has got the i think the team before self award twice, if not mistaken, if anybody remember please post it, Kistin the outside hitter was name to the all conference team last year if im not mistaken

[rocketfan1]

I was not meaning to take anything away from her at all. I have seen butler play and I thought she was at the top her game for setter.

[vbdad]

agree with you on buttler

[rocketfan1]

I think she was player of the year last year. I always hear her name at games from our players too, so know who she that way too.

[topdog5532]

:trampoline::trampoline::trampoline:I love this, this is great communication.............Please pass this on to report all scores here.

[topdog5532]

AC 3-0 over Mcdowell!!!!!!!!!

[digit01]

Does anyone know the team standings for the 3A Mountain Athletic Conference? I have looked everywhere, but can't find them.:helpsmilie:

[topdog5532]

Can't make the game tonight, big matchup, someone post the scores if possible........Alot can still happen in the Conference with Cougars playing Rockets tonight, then Pioneers playing Rockets next week...........Good luck to the NW4A!!!!!!!

[rocketfan1]

I think there will be several people shocked at what a difference playing in our house can make. We have the best fans! We are looking forward to it. The girls are ready!!!

[jarrettfan]

alexander central beat a.c. reynolds today 3-1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hotsundad]

Playing at ACR is shocking. It was loud and the fans on both sides were really in to it. Was the temperature a strategy or was it just me? It was hot in there. Great match......

[PersonRocketDad]

On Senior night at Jordan high school and with first place on the line for the Pac-Six conference the Person Rockets looked in playoff mode as the Rockets swept the Falcons 3-0!!!!!!! 25-18, 25-23, 25-21
This win gives the Person Rockets 1st place in the conference and also a #1 seed going into the state 4A playoffs in the East Bracket!!
Will update the rest of the Pac-six later.

Sure coach will have us ready for watagua...lookout!

[vbdad]

[vbdad]

[kmale]

Man!!!!!!!!! What an intense game, the girls said they couldn't even hear on the floor, big play by both teams, probably saw the best 2 middle hitters in the conference, WoW! love to see great volleyball, thought when it all started after the first game, the only thing i was going to get was LIGHTER!! it was hot! Both teams should go deep in the playoffs!

Congradulations to both teams and good luck to the NW4A

[NOGA87]

North Gaston won the Big South regular season championship.

the rest are as follows:
2. Crest
3. Forestveiw
4/5. Ashbrook/East Gaston (not sure which is which)
6. South Point
7. Hunter Huss

tourney starts Monday, first round at higher seed...the rest at North Gaston.

[topdog5532]

Tonights game is big for Alexander Central, With a win they capture at least a first place tie in the NW4A conference, with a loss they finish second unless AC Reynolds knocks off Watauga, anyway they need to win, If AC wins it will be one of the best finishes ever at AC........It is Senior night also, they will be recoginizing 9 girls that have grown over the years as classmates as well as teammates and most importantly friends..........SENIORS, always remember we love you at AC and continue to follow your dreams.......GOOD LUCK! Good luck to the JV team as well......Come out to Alexander Central and let the girls know how much they have meant to you, Jv starts at 4:30, varsity to follow:N1Greatjob02:

[whspioneers]

GO Cougars. After looking at the NCHSAA brackets I want WHS to get the 2. Much easier road.

#1 in the Northwestern 4A's track to the 4th round - SW4A #5, SW4A #3, and SW4A #1 all at home.

#2 in the Northwestern 4A's track to the 4th round - Queen City #3, Big South #1 on the road, and then the Southwestern 4A #2 at home.

I will take my chances on the second option.

[vbdad]

What an emotional game for our seniors, they beat Eastburke 3-0.
Congratulations to coach Miller on a great season, Britt, liz, Courtney, Tera, Ikey, Clelly, Kir, Sherrill & Mai Lou. you are the best, your teamwork has paid off, now is time to take it to the next level, lets take it all the way to Raleigh, we know you all can get it done, just believe in yourselves. it is not if you finish first or second it's how you play, you are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

South Rowan is no longer in 4A - North Piedmont 3A now - Girls are actually doing pretty well this year. 13-4 Conf going into tonights season final with North Iredell (17-0). South has really matured and have gotten stronger since they played earlier in the year. Hats off to NI on their great season, but I'm sure the "Iredell Raiders" will get the "Rowan Raiders" best shot. Place should be rockin'. Best wishes NI driving down. See you there!

Thanks EnkaBall05. I appreciate the info. I understand how it is. Local papers just don't understand what volleyball is all about. They need to get out and watch volleyball being played now. Then maybe they will get it. Hopefully that will happen in the near future.

I heard the standings were like this, they thought:
#1Enka
#2N. Buncombe
#3Asheville
#4Franklin


Does this conference play a conference tournament and if so is there any information on how it is going or how it has turned out?

May I add also that I LOVE HAVING A BOARD JUST FOR VOLLEYBALL!:clap:

[vbdad]

The lady Cougar won the coin toss, they'll get firts seed on the playoff

1.- ACHS
2.- WHS
3.- ACRHS
4.- EBHS

Good luck to all our conference teams.

[2upthemiddle]

It seems odd that papers (specifically the Charlotte Observer, probably others) carry all the details of HS tennis matches, taking up multiple columns with names and scores of all matches, and only carry the game (set) scores of the volleyball matches. Rarely are there any details of games, key players, etc. Is that because the coaches don't have the stats when they call in the scores? I will give the Observer some credit, though. They've had a couple nice articles about volleyball here lately. My beef is really with the daily reporting of scores. I'm sure the kids would get a kick out of seeing their names in the paper like the baseball players, tennis players, CC runners, basketball players, soccer players, football players, etc. Plus it gives the average fan an idea of who the key players are out there, and some names to follow.

Does this conference play a conference tournament and if so is there any information on how it is going or how it has turned out?

May I add also that I LOVE HAVING A BOARD JUST FOR VOLLEYBALL!:clap:

I was at the game last night and one of the dad's of the other team, I think ACHS not Watauga, told me that they had just won the conference and the coin flip broke the tie? Is this true?

We have played both teams and while they are both great, Watauga is by far the stronger team. The ACHS parent told me that is why they had driven to WHS to see the flip!?! If you are tied for conference, why do you not play a tie breaker to decide it. A coin flip is a little strange for a title and seems a bit unfair to the other teams.

Just my opinion!!

[rocketfan1]

The rockets played very well against WHS last night!! Nothing to hang your heads about ladies!!! We are very proud of you gals. You had them scrambling several times last night. You ladies had some incredible passing going on and several great hits!!!!:clap:

The coin flip did NOT break the tie. It simply placed them (ACHS) in the first seeding and WATAUGA in the 2nd. That does not mean that ACHS is the conference winner. It means they are CO-Champs. I do not know why they used a coin flip because if they had looked at the games, they would have seen that WATAUGA would have won it that way. (beating the other teams in 3 instead of taking it to 4 or 5 games. But it was a great match last night. The rockets played the pioneers very hard.

In reply to the coin flip... We had the same thing happen with the Coastal Conference! JH Rose and DH Conley were tie if you looked at straight wins and losses. Going the next step and looking at points or sets won, Rose would have been the top seed. The ADs from the conference got together and flipped a coin, saying that's what the rule book says.

Conley won the coin toss and took the top seed and Rose the second seed... but Rose won the Conference Tournament anyway!! :shiny:


Rose will host Chapel Hill on Saturday! Just a little pointer for Chapel Hill fans -- for volleyball parking, as you're going down Arlington Blvd., turn into the parking lot on the tennis courts/football stadium side of the school and go in the side entrance where it looks like a courtyard. There's a huge band competition going on at the same time and buses will be in the main parking lot. And plan for some traffic, ECU is playing a football game at noon!

[mitchellp]

Way to go!

[topdog5532]

The coin toss is due to the State playoffs, the reason they don't play a tie-breaker is it is easier to declare CO-Champions than it is to play tie-breaker, the playoffs start soon after the last game and it would be hard to get the games in. Also with the seeding in this case Watauga was the real winner, (not by their choice, but by coin toss) #2 seeding looks a little easier than #1 but they still have to play the game no matter who they play, as far as Watauga being the better team, well we will just have to wait and see if the 2 plays each other in the playoffs, I think AC has only lost 1 game and Watauga has lost 2, we can go back and forth on this but I'm taking the high road and saying both teams are very good and have very talented young ladies and AC Reynolds as well, I am pulling for the NW4A teams, whom ever they are! GO NW4A!!!!!!!!!!!!!:N1Greatjob02:

[mitchellp]

How nice of you to take the high road after you make a comment!

We have been through this before, watauga played much tougher teams and beat you guys and acrhs and ebhs, in three. The one time your team beat us it took you guys 5 to win. It took you 5 to beat acrhs and I think it took you 4 to beat ebhs. I will take the high road and say they are all great teams too.

Watauga appreciates your support at the game the other night.

[MTNMOM]

Thank you, mitchellp! Watauga did play 24 matches to Alexanders 21 but who's counting! But I will go along and take the high road and say they are all great teams. And that it was so nice and such good sportsmanship for everyone from Alexander to take the time to support Watauga the other night maybe someday we can return favor.

[topdog5532]

Watauga is a very good team and should go far in the playoffs, they always have a good team, more importantly, they have good girls........WE were cheering for Watauga, can't speak for anyone but us!!!!!!!!!! We love the Pioneers and the Cougars!!!!
Just a little conference competition!!!!!!!!!!

[kmale]

A win is a win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A horse is a horse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't we all just get along?????????????????:th_90edab00:
Somebody's got to win, some have to loose!!!!!!!!!

Somebody's got to pull for somebody................CAN'T WAIT FOR SOFTBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mitchellp]

up next, round two.

A win is a win!!

Keep it going girls.

[kmale]

AC played bad today, not to take anything away from AK, they have a GREAT 6'3"-6'4" Junior that does it all........ AC girls, keep your head held high............... Let's pull for the Pioneers all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mitchellp, see you at Watauga!

[mitchellp]

I will welcome you with open arms:victoryg:

See you there.

[rocketfan1]

please post time of whs/freedom game

[southpaw2]

3A West

Now that Enka is out, North Iredell should sail through to the regional final. Who will they meet? Foard? Mooresville? C. Catholic? Hickory? Who should win the east?

[75gitane]

hope to catch charlotte catholic - foard match at 6m tonight. will post score, impressions if i go.

[southpaw2]

I am trying to get to that game, too. Be interested in hearing what you say. Who do you think will take the match?

[kmale]

If Foard survives tonight, I like Foard and N iredell (West), (East) I like Conley and Rockingham 3A

4A I like Mt. Tabor and Watauga (west) (East) Person and Rose

Very exciting!

[75gitane]

I am trying to get to that game, too. Be interested in hearing what you say. Who do you think will take the match?

no idea ... have not seen catholic play since zahn was playing (3-4 years ago??).

and last time i saw foard was at a match with kings mountain ... again probably 2-3 years ago.

just hoping for a good close match. i never enjoy the blowouts ... i want my $5 worth (or is it $6?).

[75gitane]

southpaw 2 ... did you make it? if so, what did you think?

i put this note in the 3A discussion too:

charlotte catholic over newton fred t foard ... 3-1

game 1: 25-15
game 2: 25-17
game 3: 17-25
game 4: 25-22

catholic has relatively short team with a lot of hitting from the back row (#9, #14). had 2 jump servers ... neither one SHOULD have scored many points on those top spin and lolly pop serves.

i do NOT think i was watching the state 3A champs tonight ... hands pretty sloppy on both sides.

cost me $4 ...

btw - i liked the way foard #12 swings; definitely not afraid to hit the ball.

[southpaw2]

I did not make it all the way to Charlotte--too late. Stopped at Hickory instead and saw the Mooresville game. Mooresville was very scrappy and a GREAT defensive team, but they were no match for Hickory's front line. Hickory started out a little sloppy and M. took the first game 26-24, I think. But, then the hitters/blockers got in the groove. Hickory rotates in a strong front line--Mooresville got blocked a few times too often and started hitting the ball long. Hickory's libero played a great defensive game, but the front line and some good serving late in the match won it for them. They have 3 hitters who put the ball down and wore down the M's defense.

Heard that Charlotte Catholic was a very strong team...no? Wanted to see them play. Wasn't Foard kind of small this year? Would like to see N. Iredell play. Heard that they haven't lost a GAME this entire season.

[75gitane]

both catholic and foard were relatively small ...

guess i'm comparing this catholic team to the zahn days (1999-2001 or so). that catholic team was BEAST! this team nothing like that one ...

i would not expect this catholic team to go much farther ...

[southpaw2]

Who do they have next? Do you think that they can make it to the sectional round? Can anyone beat N. Iredell? Did Buncombe beat Statesville? How strong is that MTNA conference--have not seen any of them play? Thought Enka was the whole conference, but they are gone.

catholic plays north buncombe (MTNA #2) next.

note that franklin (MTNA #4) is still playing too ... they play hickory (CATV #2) next.

don't know much about N iredell ...

[jarrettfan]

i think n iredell beat hickory 3-0 this yr go raiders!

[tssb]

North did beat Hickory in September. Just spoke with a Mom that has all the scores. Wealth of info there...

25-17
25-18
25-19

Probably means little today. North is home throughout and there was a good crowd there last night, that helps.

BTW...I believe a former Raider volleyball player is the HC at Hickory so the schools have some ties.

[vbdad]

The anybody knows how they are going to align the conferences next year in the 4-a, 3-a & 2-a?

[GvilleVolleymom]

JH Rose won over Hoggard tonight in Greenville!
25-13, 26-24, 25-13

Great play! Lots of long volleys and fighting for points. Nice crowd on both sides!

[vballer]

Heard Catholic got beat. How good is the N. Buncombe team? Can Lake Norman stay with N. Iredell? East or West stronger in 3A?

[cheeze105]

The anybody knows how they are going to align the conferences next year in the 4-a, 3-a & 2-a?

in the big south 3A, crest and ashbrook drop from 4A to 3A schools, east gaston is sent packing to the mech. conference and kings mountain is introduced into the big south 3A

so, big south 3A will be
ashbrook
north gaston
forestview
hunter huss
crest
kings mountain
south point

i think?!!???!!! ok, i'm pretty sure
