Yea Pittsburgh is definitely NE…. time will tell. Maybe I don’t know what you mean by NE. But neither Pittsburgh nor WV are in the Northeast or New England. Pittsburgh and WV are considered mid-Atlantic or the Rust Belt. They don't share many qualities with the NE at all. I've always said the Midwe...

The pictures and clips I saw of this looked like it was a whole lot of fun. Any big donors out there want to build a small ice arena in Boone? I wish I could. Even at the non-D1 club level, I bet ice hockey on campus could be a hit. There was a guy on my dorm floor who played club hockey in the 90s....

They really dominated that game, just a couple of cheap Kent goals back to back in the second put them in a hole. Great comeback to force OT. Too bad for Clark ending her career the way it did in OT. Its almost impossible to stop a goal when there is a 2 player breakout with no defenders in the area...

I'd rank ODU higher and Ga Southern lower but otherwise this is in the right ballpark

That program has come a long way in a few short years and with some turnover in coaching. Coach Dawson did a great job laying the groundwork, and promoting Coach Dinsmore was the right call, since she had already played such an integral part as the team's primary recruiter and in her off-season wor...

Is this regular season? Or a tournament?

Regular season, the last two games are next week at home Friday and Sunday bookending Homecoming. Conference tournament after that.

Their record is now 12-4

The ladies knock off #8 Louisville 2-1 in OT shootouts. Addie Clark with 12 saves in the goal, plus holding Louisville to 2 of 5 in the shootout period. Note on score - you get credited for 1 goal for the shootout win, the shootout itself was 3-2 App. The game was tied 1-1 after 4 quarters and 2 sud...

I'm editing this post to move my comment on the big win to a separate thread

Men's soccer is currently unbeaten.... LOL, and will remain that way until we ever actually recreate a men's soccer program. As I tell my wife and friends here in Richmond when they trot out their "VCU football, still unbeaten" slogan, it is equally accurate and probably more appropriate to say "VC...

Someone please start a positive thread. App State field hockey is 10-4 and tied for first place in the conference. I take it maybe the post was tongue in cheek or sarcastic, but for womens' sports, it is a real feather in our caps. Absolutely not tongue in cheek. I was trying to say something posit...

Charlotte Catholic has been winning nchsaa championships for years Indeed. Jim Oddo built a powerhouse there years ago. Only problem I see is that CCHS doesn't have district lines to deal with as do the public schools. They do have tuition to deal with, however. Most states deal with district lines...

T-Dog, even prior to reading your explanation, the make up of who was supporting this move did have me questioning my own theory. It was the side supporting charter schools and vouchers that supported LCA's suit here in Virginia after all, as well as a related measure to allow homeschooled kids in t...

Issues you raise, particularly recruiting and transfers, are a direct result of the rapid expansion of charter and private schools in the NCHSAA over the last 20 years. Those are easily addressed in-house if the state would get out of the way. If Florida, Ohio, or California can have total integrati...

Apparently, that other NCHSAA was locked or moved to the political folder I don't know how to access while I was writing this. I hope the mods don't mind me opening a new thread because I worked too long on this, I wanted to share it. I wanted to talk about a different angle not discussed in that ot...

What is happening, and perhaps intentionally, is the development of two Super Conferences to operate like the AFC and NFC in the NFL. Those college conferences, SEC, BIG 10, will recruit and bring the best recruits in to prep them for NFL teams. What's left of college football will be the USFL, or ...

Our women are kicking some ass so far this year. It is great to see. Hope it continues.

The 3 fall womens teams are a combined 15-2-1 at the moment. Not too shabby.

Sun Belt Champs!

The new turf looks nice, more stylish than the old one. It is fun to get out on that type of turf, like running on a sponge.

Fields hockey will be on Twitch, youtube, and Facebook. Get your grandkids to show you what those are. https://appstatesports.com/news/2023/8/2/athletics-mountaineers-release-2023-fall-streaming-schedule.aspx Ok, I thought the MAC is an ESPN conference just like the SBC, so why can't we and the res...
