You gave us more than 2…. Clearly that means we’re gonna break the scoreboard now

AI made an appearance on an ER thread!!!

If they played 10 times, that might be the average. Catholic's style, approach and discipline are a pain in the ass for any team to prepare for. If they have enough horses to execute their game plan, they could frustrate Grimsley and make the one game they play very interesting. Grimsley definitely has the horses.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Porter Ridge go up there and knock them off or at least scare the heck out of them a few years ago? I bring that up because PR was a triple option team - a scheme that’s difficult to prepare for and levels the playing field - athletically. Not that CC is an option team, but run a scheme that’s somewhat negates an athletic disadvantage. I’m just sayin’, hardly a forgone conclusion in this one.

Free?

It’s tough to compete when ER is dealing with injuries and a depleted roster. The mud may force Corvian to confront a different type of game. This might be their first real test. It will be interesting how they respond.

I think that’s exactly what we saw happen.

With carefully scheduled non-conference games, do you think this strategy might backfire if they face a strong team outside of their conference in the playoffs?

The holiday season can be tricky for attendance, but honestly in my experience, I believe that the community will rally behind North Lincoln and show up in full force. Their packed stadium will certainly make a difference in this game.

Grimsley had a strong run last season, but with the changes in their roster and key players, it seems they might not have the same edge. Weddington and Grimsley both have well-coached teams, but it's true that neither is quite as dominant as they were in previous years.

We can't help who we play in our conference and how weak they are. I can say the same thing about your conference. You have right to your opinion just like I do. Not once have criticized your team. Didn't realize NE has so many haters up here. Good luck to your team tonight and your enjoy you day

Spot on, couldn’t have said it better.

Ann will get Ledford in a good spot and having Adam Grier helps the equation for success.

Central will always be well coached by Tysinger and having balance with basketball classes helps. Hardest working group in games overall.

North Davidson appears to not have any of 4 freshman who were on varsity three seasons back. Similar to East Davidson on not doing anything in summer months from what people state. If that group stayed together with other pieces they would have kept growing and done well. Principal and AD seem to have run critcher drive into a catastrophic mess.

Oak Grove has three solid seniors who could cause them to make noise. Appears apathy to building with young head coach leading apathy charge does not aid in growing program.

Asheboro should be solid but losing some key pieces will hurt as JV was not that good. Nance is a solid coach who gets best of his teams.

Montgomery Central is abysmal.

J Peppers is a good spot not too far from East Forsyth.

Smittys is also a good spot but it gets crowded very quickly and especially on a Friday.

Ok thanks. I will take these places into consideration to go to eat.

Defense too good this year….same song and dance we have heard from Goob for the last 5 years. Freshwater this and Freshwater that, won’t run on our D blah, blah, blah. Hell I think Kanye is STILL running from the last time we played up there 🤣. I fully expect NE to win because of the offense, not the defense. NE has never put as much emphasis on D as they have their O plus y’all play in one of the weakest conferences in the state. Don’t let all those beat downs of those Outer Banks boys fool ya.

Note, you only picked the 2nd half of that criticize. I guess what's done is done and you are still playing. I can live with it. Just like ya'll have the last two years. (he he)

Your first instincts are correct in who I took in a game ..KW
Would like to see Scotland cape fear does not mean I picked either team.
Hodge and I did a comparison we have just three different..

Well if both our teams advance then then we can squash this nonsense of not playing defense in 7 days. Also, If we’re being honest I don’t think anyone in 2a could’ve stopped Javonte.

Ah you must be talking about #5… I don’t know who the other “best player in state” is… but, I guess I’ll help with your “probability” game you want to play and let’s see how this factors into it.

Ok, so TJ Albert started this football program back in 2012 I want to say…TJ Albert has 3 boys that were very young at the time. Well, as it just so happens to go - those boys grow up and when you have a head coach as a dad, you tend to be around the game a lot. Well flash forward to 2024, and wouldn’t you know it, TJ’s oldest son is a Senior and he happens to (in a sweet gesture) wear his Pops old football number. TJ wore #5…

Our stud’s name is Brandon Albert. He is the head coaches son, and a top recruit.

CRAZY how that works I guess….

And boom...an educated explanation. Appreciate it...now that makes sense! That's all I want...are things to make sense.
