You ain’t been to baseball game in awhile huh? Come check it out. Got Bermuda and everything. Announcer ain’t bad either.
No they can’t land in left field!!!

Of course they upgrade everything after I leave. I still have nightmares about trying to field balls in that left field. You never knew which way that ball was gonna turn.

You're right about that announcer though. He's not too shabby. 😁

I have to admit I was skeptical. I knew the offense was really good but skeptical of the defense because of some of the past years. Well looks like Northeastern really got a shot at it this year. I still don't really care who wins but if Y'all or whoever makes it to state I'll be pulling for an East win. And Congrats to my man Goob and you too James Davis.

Ok I don’t know you and you are definitely new here. Quite frankly it looked from afar like the RB was actually down on both fumbles, or at least the ground caused both. Also both came after 20 yard runs. Game would have been waaaay different without turnovers. But that’s the way it happened. Good luck next week. Not sure you will get as many of those as you did last night.

One more thing.....

To the Corvian fan who sat on ER's side and talked junk. I wouldn't advise doing that at Mount Airy. You might not make it out alive.

As for the Corvian-Mount Airy battle next week.....

Corvian DOES have the potential to beat MA. However, I also think that the Granite Bears, from an athletic standpoint, match up with Corvian a lot better than ER did. Should be an entertaining game to watch.

As for my alma mater.....

Those back-to-back fumbles in the second quarter were an absolute KILLER. I really do think the complexion and momentum of the game did a 180 after that second fumble. ER was looking so good running the football up to that point.

Rayden West had a whale of a game. He caught a touchdown pass and broke up several long passes.

I think ER took it as far they could take it. I actually believe the Cats slightly overachieved this season. The bad news is we lose Julian, Lucas, Will, and Rayden. Good news is ER has a strong sophomore class. The Cats aren't falling off the map anytime soon.

To all the ER seniors, great job fellas. Three conference championships and a couple of deep runs. Not too shabby. Actually one correction,......Julian has four.

Man oh man, where to start.......

I'll start with the Cards. They're legit, folks. They are, BY FAR, the most athletic team ER has faced. To me, they looked like a scaled-down version of East Forsyth. Might as well have been called Corvette Community cause they had some speedsters. No offense, but it does look like someone from Corvian went around to all the 4A schools in Charlotte and asked "Any of you guys interested in playing 1A? I think we can do something special.".

The Cards definitely used that edge on athleticism to their advantage. Big plays and forced fumbles: That's how Corvian won this game. Kelvin Stinson's pick six, AJ Jackson's hit that forced that third fumble, the beautifully executed blocking that sprung Noah Best for his TD run down the left side, Adrien Scott's magnificent pass rush and knocking the ball out of Cade's hands in the third, AJ Jackson's ridiculous, "Madden-esque" 50 yard or so scramble on fourth and long for a TD.

Speaking of Jackson, that guy was super impressive. He is literally a "Great Value" version of Dionte Neal. Does pretty much everything.

The other run that Noah Best had in the third quarter was outrageous. It looked like he made every ER defender miss three times over.

Despite all these great players, I would doing a great disservice if I didn't mention Corvian's kicker, Cooper Peterson. Kid's got a leg on him. I don't think there was a possession that ER didn't start from their own 20.

Congratulations to Mt Airy on earning a hard fought win. I will be pulling for you the rest of the way.

As far as the game is concerned I thought that the penalty for running into the punter before the half really changed the game. I think there's a good chance that was a 14 point swing for Mt Airy. Starmount had the momentum and may have scored before the half ended or at least ran out the clock so that the Bears couldn't score. Plays like that are what separates champions from really good teams.

Discipline has been an issue all year for Starmount. The previous game they had 18 penalties. This was an issue that was never fixed. You can't allow kids to continue having unsportsmanlike penalties and foolish things and not set them on the bench. It finally bit them in the butt. As great as Pardue has been as defensive coach this year, the Rams needed him to be a Head Coach and end this issue long before this game. Hopefully this will be another lesson learned for next year.

Congratulations to the Rams on a great season

Well, it was actually roughing the snapper which, according to Starmount fans isn't even a real rule that the referees just made up on the spot 🙄🙄🙄

Early gut feeling tells me Corvian’s run ends. They have never had to play from behind, and I would say the bears get a lead on them at some point during the night. However, the great equalizer will be that Mt Airy won’t be the fastest team on the field. Should be a good one!

They played from behind tonight. ER scored 1st drive and stopped them their 1st. Corvian doesn’t panic. They have been really prepared and worked for the humble success to this point. Everything that was said that they couldn’t/ wouldn’t do has been refuted by the young men’s play on the field. They have a great head coach… HE is battle tested and over three years the boys have worked for these opportunities, humbly.

Turnovers determined this game. I thought Mooresville had the opportunity to increase their lead coming out of halftime and a costly fumble gave East the momentum they needed followed up by a touchdown. Mooresville is a very good team and could have easily won tonight. They were physical and ran the ball very well.

Dudley has speed, athletes and coaching to the limit. That's why they are an annual state title contender. Not one stone remains unturned. Much respect... I'll be in Gboro next Friday guaranteed.

What a story... just goes to show a strong schedule pays off in the long run

The West Charlotte/Monroe game I believe was started but a storm hit early 1st Quarter and the game never resumed.

Should be one great match up.
Most folks on here saying Monroe is best team in 2a.
And they are the fastest.
Well i belive they will face best front 7 on defense they have seen.
I look at there sch. And think they really havent played anybody but FH, and FH is better now then when they played.
West Charlotte would jave been the best they faced., and they wouldnt make that game up.
This will be a game with speed all over field. Shelby dont need to turn ball over, our D needs to cause Monroe to turnover ball.
Im thinking 38 27. Shelby

Didnt they begin a game with West Charlotte that was canceled? Your front 7 is better than 3A West Charlotte, who almost beat Mallard Creek?

They also scrimmaged Crest no?

Let's not be that guy.

It looks like Corvian will stay with the 2As next year if they keep pulling football players from the 4A Charlotte teams. Seems they came from nowhere this year. They did lose to North Rowan last year 49-34 in the 2nd round. Mount Airy will have it's problems at the bottom 9 ADM of 3A next year.
They are listed with the 2A with an ADM of 454.

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

Or if they continue to develop the players that are, and have been there since the first (ever) football season. Several of those (all of the seniors but 2) kids were there as freshmen… and didn’t even have football. It’s cool… social media is just one’s funny perspective of ticket buyers but look a little deeper. Don’t just diminish the job the head coach has done and the work those young men have put in. IJS

One fumble was a great hit by the safety… defense inflicted. The second was a clear (taught) strip by the other DB… defense inflicted.

So how big was this crowd? Was it standing room only?

I tried to tell you!! Good game man. I got a kick out of some of our fans. They sure didn’t like the announcer or should I say the DJ?? I tried to tell them to be prepared. He is probably worth 2 tds. I don’t see anybody in the East beating NE. Nothing wrong with their defense either. They made some adjustments and kept us in check after our first drive. Long cold night on our side.

Click to expand...

I told you. It's no offense to any team. When I say I defense is better it is. I don't arguing with other fans up here about NE. It is what it is. Our defense is better lie it it said it was. Without our defense we would lost that game. No disrespect to West craven they played a heck of game.

This definitely will be a great game to see.
