Hey Perk, great job!
With your 1AA West picks, I think you hit the nail on the head. Regarding the 1A picks, I'm not quite as high on Albemarle as I am on Hayesville. With Albemarle, which team will show up? Will it be the team that almost beat North Rowan or will it be the team that had trouble moving the ball against an average North Stanly? I believe that Hayesville's home field advantage will be a tough obstacle for the Albemarle Bulldogs. That being stated, Albemarle seems to have rapidly improved during the course of the season.
