Thomasville Football

imma say it again. dude was hired a week before the season practices started! Anyone who has played high school football knows that every other team already has had their offense installed for months at that point! You know how deep we were into our offensive playbook by the time camp started in 04? We started in January with weights and then by march we were all on running different plays, not to mention his system had already been around forever!! Anybody who expected a team that lost as much players as they lost to graduation and hired a coach that late to have a grand season needs to reevaluate their own expectations. Yes, this team had some talent, heck, i've been watching them since they were playing flag. Me personally looking at that timeframe didnt expect them to win a game personally! I have people that will tell you i said he wouldnt win a game just like i'd been on record saying even before Gillespie left that this season would not be one of our best seasons. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the defense. Im interested to see how it all comes together after having a full offseason.

Only two teams that you say barley beat us Andrews and north rowan. What coaching experience dose George have and how much since you seem to like the way this guy called plays.

Final ADM Numbers 11/19 - 1A, 2A, 3A

I don't know how you'd have conferences or regions or whatever you want to call leagues without splitting or just accepting that a few of them are only going to be 3 or 4 teams. For instance, in 1A there are 4 football playing schools in WNC (Rosman, Andrews, Robbinsville, TJCA) and nobody else until Forsyth and Stokes county. So you can either split, have a league of 3 or 4 schools, or have W-S Prep and Andrews in the same league with a 500 mile round trip. No option is ideal, but splitting seems like the better choice.
I don’t disagree with that. But believe that split leagues should be kept to a minimum and only when other options don’t make sense. So, especially in the more populous areas, don’t do it just because it’s necessary in other areas.

Conferences or regions

Kinda what I was thinking. Region is just another name for conference. Believe they call them regions in SC. But there is no difference in their regions and our conference EXCEPT they do not have split leagues.
No doubt, some of this is mere semantics but sometimes a huge portion of whether teams, coaches, fans, etc view it positively/ negatively is simply due to that. Split conferences put a bad taste in people's mouths even when sometimes we're only talking about a school with 790 students playing one with 805. Regions, at least, kills those mentalities but I also think they provide some other semi-advantages as well.

Hickory Ridge HFC vacancy

Lack of leadership at that school for years now. They have had tremendous turnover not only in coaching staff/ranks but on the teacher side as well. Hopefully, they can right the ship with a new hire and the kids can get excited again. That JV team wasn't all that bad. They could return to prominence with the right hire. I'm sure their AD will get the right guy.
Who do you coach wrestling for?

KENDRE HARRISON RETURNS TO REIDSVILLE

I know nothing about him or the recruiting. If he picks Oregon, I could see him transferring out to come closer to home. Oregon is a long way away.
I do think Oregon is a good spot for him….I’m sure he has a great NIL deal and it’s a lot better for him than having to play in the sec and the grind of that conference

Thomasville Football

That's why I said "shouldn't have burned bridges with Benjie."

Didn't say he was but I want stability. Looking for coaches every two-three years wont fix anything. For the most part fix the offense and the team is fine. Defense was solid for the most part. If we go 4-7 again I'll on the fire the coach bandwagon. If you think coach George is a flag football coach then that shows how clueless you are. It also says alot about our opponents coaches considering many barely beat us.

Assuming there are conferences instead of that weird “region” thing, I would think that split conferences would be a last resort. But. I guess in some areas, the last resort would make the most sense, especially from a travel perspective.
If the current RPI formula is used, and there are split conferences, I think it unnecessarily complicates the playoff pairings. But maybe that’s just me.
Not that I have a vote, but my preference is always minimal travel, some parity and maintenance of long time rivals where possible. Oh, and don’t put us in with those High Point schools. They bring out the worst in our players and fans.

West Forsyth @ East Forsyth Round #2

West Forsyth believes they had East Beat at East 2 weeks ago and they are super hungry for this game. Those 3 costly turnovers in the 2nd half are still haunting them after a 35-21 lead. East defense has been exploited the last few weeks and seems to be their weakness. Just how many games can Tarheel QB recruit Bryce Baker bail out the Eagles?
As many as he decides too, when he steps onto the field 99 times out of 100 hes the best player out there and has backed that up with play time and time again. Im taking east by 14 would say 21 but i think west will score late when it doesnt matter.

The Transfer Portal Problem

I think transfers due to academic reasons should be much easier to obtain if the school the student wants to go has the space. If a transfer is purely for athletic reasons, there needs to be a lot more scrutiny with that. Not a good life lesson to give to a kid if he/she wants to leave their current school because the team isn't great and they simply want to be on a winning program.
Or its a life lesson that the rest of life/athletics does. The transfer portal in college and free agency in the pros.

Oak Grove

Wait? Im confused ! They're what???

That gif there tells me they're sitting amongst the pigpen's of the world, that are Crest fans, whilst the wafting of fart clouds emanate from their taco bell and mad dog infused colons saturate the bleachers and air with a meandering stench that even full strength clorox wont remove?

Crest by 28.....
Man said they were not just Cheech but Chong too. Said his name was RAAAAAAALPH man.
