A couple of notes from the schedules:
- Seeing the 2009-10 Avery wrestling team at home will be a premium this season, as the team will have only three home matches for the entire season (11/23 vs. Freedom, 1/21 vs. Mitchell, and 1/26 vs. Hendersonville)
- Avery's varsity teams will be participating this year in the Mitchell County basketball tournament in Ledger immediately after Thanksgiving, while the varsity women will compete for two days over the Christmas holiday in the Draughn High School tournament in Burke County.
- Avery opens the regular season basketball schedule with neighboring rival Cloudland (TN) in Roan Mountain on November 24th.
- Both the Western Highlands Conference wrestling and basketball tournaments will be held at Owen High School, with wrestling's tournament on February 5th and the basketball tournament from February 15th-19th.
