    Better chance of Crest ending up back in the NW4A, but I wouldn't mind seeing Hickory come with them.

    Yup, I'd love to see Crest and Hickory both return to NW4A. Some of my fellow Tornado people would disagree, but I personally believe that the NW4A is the most appropriate place for Hickory to be. Crest, too. I can't stand being associated with the likes of St. Stephens, Fred T. Foard and R-S Central. I have great respect for Burns and Kings Mountain, but those other three schools are nothing but pathetic - at least in football, which is what we're talking about here.

    I think that when realignment happens, T.C. Roberson will move up to 4A, which will most likely cause the powers that be to move A.C. Reynolds back into the MAC and have that conf. be a 4A/3A conference like it used to be. Then Crest will return to the NW4A and it will look exactly the way it did for most of the '90s. There's a remote chance that Hickory's enrollment will push it back into 4A, but I doubt it. For that to happen, Hickory would have to see its ADM increase by at least another 150-200 students...and several current 4A schools would have to see a drop in enrollment. I can think of at least one 4A school that is dropping down immediately - South Iredell - but I'm not completely sure how many others will. Plus, there are already several 3A schools that are bigger than Hickory which will probably move up - Crest, Roberson, Ashbrook, East Gaston, East Rowan, Jay Robinson, Dudley, etc.

    It will be interesting to see what happens with the Big South Conference in realignment. Ashbrook and East Gaston will definitely move up to 4A. East Lincoln will definitely move down to 2A. That leaves Hunter Huss, South Point, North Gaston and Forestview. Obviously, that group needs to be kept together, but will the NCHSAA move other teams (Kings Mountain? Burns?) into the conference to build it back up? Or will they move the group into another conference? When Crest moves back to 4A, will the NCHSAA just leave the SWFoothills Conf. the way it is, just with one less member? Or will they move somebody in to take Crest's place. If Hickory has to stay in the conference that it's currently in, I'de like to see Crest replaced by Shelby. But there would have to be a very significant shift in enrollment for Shelby to get back into 3A - probably at Crest's expence - which would keep Crest in 3A!

    In the end, though, I've got a feeling that teams are going to wind up in conferences that look very much like they did prior to 2001. I just wish that Hickory, SSHS and Foard were not a packaged set... The rest of Catawba county hates on Hickory repeatedly...they never wanted to be in a conference with the Red Tornadoes anyway and I'd just as soon pretend that none of them exist! :bird6: :bird6: :bird6:

    I think North Meck and Hopewell are bigger rivals now than NM & Vance.

    FAT FRIDAY!!!! There is nothing that compares to it. I have had the privilage of playing in it for the past two years. That is the most exciting game I have ever been a part of. That was the most excited I have ever been. I had a little extra to play for considering I was playing my cousin. I have seen many great games, but I don't think nothing compares to Freedom/East Burke.

    That Westover / 71st game is still a rival....LOL

    Both have been at the bottom of the Mid-Southeastern lately, battling for who will get the first draft pick......

    It is a big game though...

    The Richmond/Scotland is the best in the state.The WC/Richmond games were intense.The Indy/Richmond rival is brewing but Indy wont play Richmond during the regular season.Knotts finds all kinds of excuses.I also think the Crest/Richmond games were good games.After the double overtime loss to Richmond,Crest QUIT playing Richmond.They instead get more pumped up playing Anson County.
