Big changes are coming for Elkin football in 2025.

The Buckin’ Elks are now in a split 2-A/3-A/4-A conference after the latest NCHAA realignment, which doubled the number of classifications from four to eight.

Elkin was 2-9 last season as a 1-A school. The Buckin’ Elks are now 2-A.

Joining them in the new conference are Ashe County (4-A), Wilkes Central (4-A), Alleghany (2-A), East Wilkes (2-A), Starmount (2-A), West Wilkes (3-A) and North Wilkes (3-A). East Wilkes, Alleghany and Starmount were in the same conference with Elkin the past four years. Elkin played North Wilkes and West Wilkes in nonconference games last year.
