I know. Heck Grimsley would beat Mater Dei, , St John Bosco or Bishop Gorman, wouldn’t they? My gosh Duncanville or North Shore from Texas would have no shot. And Centennial or De Lasalle from California would be easy pickings. Grimsley is the greatest team North Carolina and the southeastern United States has ever seen. Get out of here with that stuff. 302 yards and they were a blown coverage away from overtime. Of course the RB had 302 yds when that’s the only offense they had most of the game. Their defense couldn’t stop them even after a 21-6 lead. Of course there will be those who condemn this comment but that’s fine. I’ve come to expect it. But that’s the problem I and others have with Grimsley. For several years they had nothing until they and other schools started building all-star squads using the transfer portal. Now, lo and behold they have the greatest this and greatest that. Hough has been doing the exact same thing. They just haven’t been as successful at it. And people still complain about the Catholic schools being in the NCHSAA. That’s the pot calling the kettle black. On top of that the challenging game they mention playing is Rolesville and Reagan? Play Archbishop Moeller out of Cincinnati, Prince Avenue Christian or Langston Hughes out of Georgia like Mallard Creek has been doing, Or Nothwestern out of Rock Hill, SC or Dutch Fork, coached by Tommy Knotts and going for their 6th state championship, like Hough has. But Grimsley can’t possibly schedule teams like that. How would they get their undefeated seasons, along with their perennial playoff home games? But with all those “great teams” they’ve had, they’ve managed exactly one state championship. Yes they’re hard to come by but one state title isn’t much when you consider such greatness as Grimsley is it? Come back when you’ve beefed up your schedule and played and won playoff games on the road.
