Mountain football team huddle.
1. Asheville High bounces back for 8-win season
The Asheville High Cougars are gearing up for a strong season in 2024 after finishing third in the Mountain Athletic Conference with a 5-6 record last year. With a challenging nonconference schedule, the Cougars are poised to finish the regular season with a 7-3 record and secure a postseason victory, propelling them to an impressive eight-win mark for the third time in four years.
2. Erwin earns best conference finish since 2021
The Erwin Warriors, led by talented players like Lawson Reynolds and Judah Dayton, are looking to improve upon their 4-7 record from last season. With a more forgiving conference schedule ahead, Erwin is expected to challenge for six wins and aim for a higher conference finish, marking significant progress for the team.
3. Max Guest is named All-WNC Offensive Player of the Year
Max Guest, a standout running back committed to App State, is poised to shine in the 2024 season after missing most of the previous year due to a foot injury.
