TALKING PREPS: THE SEASON FINALE SHOW

On tap

➡️Should West Charlotte make a run at hiring Lions' alumnus and former Carolina Panthers head coach Steve Wilks, who was let go by the Jets this week?
➡️Should the NCHSAA spend endowment cash to build or take over its own facility to host state championships, other events?
➡️Should the NCHSAA move Greensboro-area schools back to the east, for playoff balance?
➡️We look at final Observer Sweet 16 and NC statewide rankings

PLAYERS OF THE WEEK

We celebrate the top performers from the NCHSAA state finals:

🏈Ethan Nelson, Wilson Prep
🏈Ethan Royal, Hough
🏈Evan Burroughs, Watauga
🏈Micah Williams, Grimsley
🏈Dionte Neal, Reidsville
🏈Lan Farmer, Shelby
🏈Kamerin McDowell-Moore, Tarboro
🏈Ely Hamrick, Crest

BREAKING DOWN THE STATE FINALS/WAY TOO EARLY RANKINGS

We take a look, class by class at last week's games and look ahead to next year's potential finals' matchup. Jim and Chris also give us their "way too early" statewide rankings and class favorites

COACH VS COACH

Chris, Sam, Gary and Hales debate

👉Should the state move away from seeding based on east/west geography?
👉Should the state reseed playoff teams before the quarterfinal round?
👉Is there a better format to avoid Thursday games and Friday afternoon games?

EPILOGUE

We go roundtable for NCHSAA state championship superlatives, the guys say what they are thankful for this holiday season and coach Greiner gives us his final "final thoughts" of the season
