Rankings Report Pre-Season Preview: Conference 53
There is no clear cut favorite in my opinion for this conference. AC Reynolds and Enka could go either way. AC Reynolds brings back almost their entire team with star sophomore Rakease Passmore. Enka also returns their starting 5 and entire bench. Guys like Ian Clinkscales-King, Jacob Tiller, and Chase Boswell will be a hard trio to stop. TC Roberson will be underdogs to watch out for as they bring back a bunch of seniors who will have to make a big step. Teams like North Buncombe, McDowell, and Erwin will look to make names for themself in this deep conference. Very excited to see how this conference turns out.

Rankings Report Pre-Season Preview: Conference 45
With this conference, there can be multiple changes between the ranks. A lot of teams that can pull off upsets. This should be a closely contested conference. With every team trying to take the top spot. West Caldwell is coming off a solid season. They bring back their two leading scorers in Malek Patterson & JaKobe Hood. Next, we have Maiden who has a great duo in Dru McClough and Chris Culliver. Teams like Newton-Conover, Bunker Hill, West Lincoln, and East Burke can all be underdogs to watch out for.

The new conference 41 should be one of the most exciting conferences in NC! With 2A state runner ups Hendersonville looking to make another run at the title. R-S Central is another one to keep an eye as they went 13-2 last season. They are keeping almost there entire starting 5 from last year with the addition of 6’7” Freshman Mikey Wilkins. Teams like Patton and Chase are adding big pieces like Brayden Crump and Addison Archer along with others to compete for the top spots. Should be a very exciting and fun conference to keep up with this season.

Rankings Report Pre-Season Preview: Conference 42
This should be an intriguing conference. But I think Draughn and Mountain Heritage are the clear cut favorites for the top of the conference. I believe Daylin Pritchard can have a breakout season becoming the player of the year. I like the size of Mountain Heritage and the chemistry they have formed together over the years. Teams like Madison, Mitchell, Avery and Owen have some great talent and could surprise some of the other teams.

I am looking forward to seeing how this new conference unfolds.
