From athletic standpoint, I'd expect all sports to make a significant bump after the initial hurdles of consolidation.
They have a girls basketball (West) and boys baseball (East) state titles.

Years ago we traveled a lot further for district games. There’s nothing wrong with a road-trip and it’s not like you are making that long trip every year. Two years in a four year cycle. It’s not a big deal

I don’t think their combination would have what it takes to compete with the upper tier 5A schools but I could see them having a moderately successful football program if they were combined.The only thing keeping them from being a very solid program is the administration. Will they actually be serious about finding a good coach or just give it to a good ol boy from Cater County? I personally believe to keep the animosity down in the county they need to hire a coach from another county. Like five counties over hahah

How’s the middle school/youth league programs in the area?
