Didn’t Langston go to West Charlotte?

Click to expand...

Langston works for a struggling newspaper. Langston knows that promoting suburban schools and highlighting issues at WC move the needle in the QC. Why do u think he pushes privates/HOUGH so much? Good or bad WC moves the needle. He didn't mention all the big games that went smoothly at WC. Only highlights negatives. Even in a situation like this u have to highlight positives for a balance. You can destroy a school that's doing all it can to rid a stigma based on a few knuckleheads that don't even go to the school. Words have power.

Salute Coach Tinsley for thinking BIG in a tough situation. He easily separated the school/brand from the culture and offered balance vs. destroying a school like Langston did. Langston didn't mention the melee at MC recently or all the other issues at various CMS schools. guarantee he's gonna do another hit piece on WC this week. Just wait and see.

After watching the New Bern game last night I do think Tarboro will have success running the football on Havelock. My concern is how Tarboro will handle that deadly passing attack. Kudos to Tarboro and Havelock for scheduling this game. Both coaching staffs have a ton of respect for each other. If Tarboro were to win this one in convincing fashion (which I don't see happening. Fully believe this is a close game) it would be a statement win to the rest of 1a.

I would like to see this one in person but Winston-Salem is a bit too far away. But it should be a great game, a full house and and a nice gate for the Vikings. Credit to both schools for making this happen. To Tarboro for being willing to take on a 3A power and to Havelock for not being worried about possibly losing to a 1A juggernaut. There is no shame in losing to Tarboro.

Thank you Jesus, last year in this conf.
Not downing these teams but no way Cherryville, Highland, Tj. Should play Shelby or Burns...
Anyway 70 -0. Most Starters sat in 2nd Q. And whole team played.

552 yrds Shelby ---44. For Cheryville

Yeah, you are right. Overall, that conference is a joke for football. No school in that conference takes football seriously other than Shelby and Burns.

State champions in 2008 and conference championship during those years but brown didn’t do anything 🤣

Burns first 4 out of 5 plays were penalties against Burns. We had it 1st and 40. We scored on the next play. SMH
I will say this, HT kids played hard. We had a little too much for them but they have improved big time from the previous years. The scoreboard does not show that but 3-1 is a heck of a start for that program.

I'll say I think Highland is much improved from last year. Definitely more kids on the sidelines. They have no business playing Burns or Shelby but they probably can compete with everybody else in the conference this year.

If there's too much security, this may not be the appropriate environment, because people feel restricted. If no one finds the courage to rise and guide your own people on how to conduct themselves in public, then they will remain trapped in the shadows of ignorance, lost to a world that craves understanding and growth. It’s heartbreaking to think that what should be moments of joy and unity at Charlotte-area football games have tragically transformed into a chilling routine of violence.

This is what I like about you. You’re not afraid to say the things that need to be said.

And that 7 came from a block punt that was returned for a td. So their offense is still scoreless on the season.

That's wild

It’s time. His teams, for whatever reasons, haven’t played a lick of defense since he’s been there. I watched the entire first half and it was pathetic. If this isn’t rock bottom I don’t know what is.

Reidsville won 37-0. Kendre got 2 TDs in his return. Rams were a little sloppy tonight but got it done.

Not to mention a couple of possible USL penalties, luckily for him they only threw one flag for it on his first play back.

Anyone have some insight? Controversial head coaching hire. Head scratcher to be honest. Can he make the rest of his staff buy into the plan? Or this be the principal’s worst hire ever?

One thing that I will say, Hibriten definitely challenges itself with their non-conference schedule every season. Maybe a little too much..

We'll probably scale it back going forward. We played in a bad conference from 2017-2020 and we tried to challenge ourselves but we also got put in a better conference so now we have a schedule full of tough games.

What would cool is to have the Starmount- Mount Airy and the Tarboro -Havelock game in a double hitter at a state championship venue. The tailgating and atmosphere would be off the hook!!!!

We lost by one in 2013 to southern nash in the regular season. That ended up being a down Tarboro team compared to our standards. Was the first time in five seasons we didn’t have a D-1 player.
