Are they in the lowest classification status in NC or the 2nd lowest? Also didn't James Brim come from up there too?
Yes on Brim. Classification is 1A. Notre Dame has offered Greene. We need to get him locked up.

But is he better than Bersin?
Brim? James came along before the star rating system, but he would likely have been a high 4 or 5 star today. He was recruited by everyone because of his combination of size (6'4") and speed (4.3). He might be the highest ranked recruit in modern WFU football history. Green is big and fast, and has better hands than Brim, but he's no Brim. Yet.
Bill Armstrong was a QB out of high school and played the position until his soph year at Wake. He was a tackling machine after his position change. Chuck Mills was a genius!

Mt Airy is once again a team projected to go deep into the playoffs with super WR Donavon Greene. Expected to commit to Deacs in October.

CJ, Chris went to Florida. Brim also held the Vikings record for yardage in a game, until the NFLPA had the strike breakers stats washed away. He was smooth. A taller, faster Wayne Baumgartner.
Brim wasn't quick off of the line, but once he got started he could fly. On national signing day, Dick Crum and Al Groh were both at Brim's front door at daylight. Two assistant coaches got into a fight but Brim signed with the Deacs. Every top 10 school offered Brim. He visited UCLA, Ohio St. and Alabama. Groh pulled of a recruiting coup by signing Brim. James was a football equivalent of Rodney Rogers as far as recruiting ratings but of course one football player can't have near the same impact as a basketball player.
Not sure about the fight part, and it was long before football recruiting news/evals became the industry that it is now, but yes, WF signing James Brim was a huge deal in the 1980s. Brim was a Parade HS All American and was offered by everybody. Groh raised the level of recruiting at WF.
