    Only two weeks to go can't wait.This is my favorite time of year.

    First off till some one can prove other wise Mcdowell will have to be the favorite. Still I don't think they will be as far from some of the other teams as they were last year. The only thing I see with them this year is if you shut down one player they will be only average

    Big dan hit the nail on the head with Renyolds ( Live and die by the 3 pointer.)
    One or two cold nights from behind the arc and they will fall. with that in mind best I could see the doing is third or fourth.

    I don't think Freedom will be able to compete for the conference title this year but you never know. They have a great tradition and confidence is a big factor. I'm sure they think they can beat anybody so that will help them alot still just don't think they will finish in the top two probablly 4th.

    I also agree with bigdan on South Caldwell having been struck with a long string of bad luck since joining the nw4a. I used to go watch this team when they were very good and could compete with anyone. Watch out for SC this year if Barrett can stay healthy. I talked to some people who have seen her this year and the report I get is she is not nearly as fast or as explosive as she was but can still play with anyone in the state. I did see her play as a freshman and she was at that time one of the best I have ever seen. This team also has more talent than a lot of people know of. I'm picking them to be the team to battle with Mcdowell for the title this year.

    East Burke is the 5th place team without a doubt. Can't beat the top 4 and shouldn't lose to the bottom 2

    Alexander and Watagua will be a great battle here to see who don't finish last

    That is a very inaccurate statement. There are more weapons that McDowell has than just Anna Atkinson. Its something that folks here in McDowell County like the outsiders to believe. Even if Anna is shut down, you still have to worry about Lovik, Brown, Kiser, and what Mike Silver is thinking. Ive seen the best players from MHS go down and they still find a way to win.

    With the start of the season only a few days away I would like to chime in on the possible outcome of the season. As you can see I'm biased toward Freedom but here goes.

    1- McDowell- Could go 29-0(12-0) this season. But.... Could loose a couple on the way. I think they'll be fine in the conference but they will loose atleast one game.

    2- Freedom- May loose a few due to inexperience but will compete every night. The tradition may be back. Coach Fox will have the kids ready to go. A great jv team the last two years. Can they take it to the next level?

    3- AC Reynolds- Great team- Great coach. Alot of weapons. Rybacki is my favorite player in the leauge. Can they upset McDowell and keep from getting beat by FHS,SC,EB?

    4- South Caldwell- Great coach- plays hard every night. Barrett? Will she be healthy? Can they be the underdog?

    5- East Burke- I wouldn't mind if they finished 7th- The kids are great,Jay is a nice man, but some of the other people at that school ruin it. Anyway- How far can Helton and West take the team? They could finish 2nd but will probably loose a lot of close games.

    6- Alexander Central- Things are working well in T-Town/ Can they upset anyone? They could battle for a playoff spot. I hope they get it.

    7-Watauga- Just not enough weapons to compete. Great coach

    I think coach fox will do a great job with these girls and i believe they will surprise alot of people this year.The Girls really enjoy playing for coach fox and most of them have played for her on the jv level and they know what she expects out of them.Coach Fox and her husband Thad have done a great job putting in the time to get these girls ready since the day she was named the head coach,Amber knows alot about the lady patriot tradition having played for Freedom on a state championship team and been an assistant on as well,she knows what it takes and will have these girls prepared for every game.
