Dudley has a few WR/RB that are part of the 3A Track Champions Track Team, that they won 2 of the last three years. The other year they was Runners Up!!!

I think NE should dominate, I dont know about running clock but it'll be 21 point or more. In the 3rd round there shouldn't be a running clock game.

Mack is gone.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

It's brutal for sure. Funny thing is I haven't really kept up with the east at all because it seems like the West is so loaded that it will decide the championship. I know Havelock is really good but not sure about the rest.

I agree with everything you have said. The only one worse for North Carolina may have been Hazel in 1957. I wasn’t born for six more years but my daddy used to talk about it. Very few were prepared for it. The parallels are similar to what occurred with Helene.

I know this is an older post but we are still living it up here in the mountains. Hurricane Helene is by far the worst to ever hit NC. Hazel caused 19 deaths and 974 million(adjusted) in damage. In NC Helene has caused 103 deaths and 53 billion. Both of these numbers will rise too. It's still blows my mind to see the damage every day going to work in Asheville. It's become kind of normal but it will never be normal. The fact that teams like Erwin and Heritage are even playing football still is pretty darn cool.

I feel like we might have the best front 7 East has matched up with all year. I’m genuinely intrigued to see how it plays out… I feel like each teams strengths match up very nicely to the other teams weaknesses.

Speaking unbiasedly… this genuinely could be one of the more entertaining games of the playoffs.

West Stokes held their on against Reidsville until late. I think they'll give Monroe everything they want. Speed doesn't win football games alone.

Y’all predicting running clock?

Me personally, definitely not. I do stand with my prediction of 21 plus. Just from my viewpoint as a novice nchsfb fan I have some concerns when it comes to locking down on their receivers. I’m just expressing what my eyes are seeing from the stands. Now aside from that I personally can’t find a weakness with our team. Each week I look forward to Friday nights and getting to see these NE Eagles 🦅 play. I don’t care what anyone says, we are one fun team to watch play. You never know when our coaches will throw in some trickery and catch everyone off guard. There is never a dull moment when you attend a NE game. The offense we run isn’t going to put you to sleep, its going to keep you on your feet. I do challenge the NE people to do something to get the students more involved, and is it possible to get back that press box announcer we had last year. That guy was amazing, it was as if we had a college game day announcer calling our games. PLEASE BRING HIM BACK !!!

Our local team West Stokes travels to Monroe Friday. West Stokes has some speed but will be playing against a track team. Speed everywhere

Just look at how West Stokes is gearing up to face Monroe; they may have speed, but going against a team with a reputation for track-like athleticism will definitely test their abilities.

Haha oh we have tape - we know all about them! We think the game is gonna be a lot closer than most think. We like our chances and we certainly aren’t afraid of anyone. We are an extremely physical team. Here’s to a good game and I appreciate the kind words EGFAN.

It sounds good, I just don’t believe it. Shelby by 28

They have some talented receivers like we do as well. Davis has bigger targets to throw to with their receivers going between 5’11- 6’3. I know measurements on MaxPreps are many times exaggerated but from what I’ve heard they are right in line in regards to these players.

Wilkes beat them badly. Patton must be way down. Freedom beat East Burke 80-66. About what I expected. Freedom rules Burke County again

Click to expand...

Looks like the Patton girls got the win though, which is great for them, given how they've been struggling.
Edit-there are different outcomes for the Patton girls' game on MaxPreps and on Facebook and I don't know which is correct. Facebook reports that Patton won 30-26, while MaxPreps has Wilkes Central winning 51-17. I'll find out the real score from the newspaper and post it.
Edited again-now MaxPreps shows the same score as Facebook and a Patton win.

I've been all over the state the last 25 years watching football. I just enjoy it no matter if my Warriors are involved or not. I've seen some amazing teams like the Chris Leak Independence squads and many more. I would like to see Mount Airy too. Dudley vs Hickory would be awesome as well. Guess I'll wait and see who is playing. I can dream that Erwin will be but I'm realistic. We have out hands full this week and if we pull that off we get Dudley! Lol

Hope you guys win this week the West 3a is loaded

Patriots had a couple of 20-point leads. The game wasn't in doubt from about the midpoint of the second quarter as the Cavs never got the lead back to single digits. Amore Connelly had a nice dunk and KeAndre Davis absolutely hammered one on a breakaway. But Barger Shook rocked the rim for EB a couple of times as well. I would have liked to match the margin of victory SC had over them, but that was in the torture chamber of a gym they have in Sawmills while we were at Icard. Connelly had 24, while King Johnson had a nice game with 17. Braxton King was held scoreless, but Amare Williams picked up the outside shooting slack with a trio of baskets from behind the arc and finished with nine. Kobe Johnson also had 10.

The girl's game was kind of a surprise. The Lady Pats stayed close until EB went on a 17-0 run to end the first quarter. I'm sure they had a 25-point lead at one point, but it may have been as much as 30. The Lady Pats made it respectable at the end though and only lost 69-62. The Stillwell girl fouled out for the Lady Cavs, which helped, but I think if we get the kind of effort we got tonight when they come to Morganton, we can make a game of it. Payton Caldwell had 26 for Freedom while Cynica Caldwell had 14 and Haven Gladden added 12.
