Big South 3A Change for 2003-04

A new school and starting a new rumor

A new CMS school will join Ashbrook, East Gaston, South Point, East Lincoln and the other Big South 3A schools this year. The Berry Academy Cardinals will compete in the Big South 3A for 2 years. After that time, look for all of the conferences in the state to be redrawn yet again.

I expect that East Gaston and Ashbrook (due to their proximity to Charlotte-Mecklenburg and their rapid growth) will move to the 4A ranks and a couple of the smaller schools in the Meca 8 and SW4A (maybe Waddell?) will move to 3A classification.

Redrawing districts moved Independence out of the SW4A a few years ago. With increased growth and the need to consolidate conferences and diminish travel times, watch for them to jump back into the SW4A. The natural rivalry with Butler will be re-fired.

Central Cabarrus may move back into the Cabarrus County teams and down into the SPC. Look for Ashbrook and East Gaston to move to the Meca 8, replacing Indy and Central Cabarrus. Indy will nudge Waddell to the Big South 3A.....

Just thinkin ......

 

so true.......

and alot of other Western teams/Conferences when the reallignment happens Again! The next few years will be exciting and interesting rivals will be renewed and created throughout our area! Thanks ncfan........... for your interesting overview!

 

TC Roberson has already surpassed AC Reynolds in student population. Look out NW 4-A.

 

Nice avatar, Mudcat. Is that your high school home baseball field by chance?!?

 

i think I heard talk of Charlotte Christian joining some non-independent conference. Can anyone debunk or verify that?
