Que’ Sean Brown is only a Redshirt freshman that former Duke Coach Mike Elko said was electric. Current coach Manny Diaz has figured that out very quickly as Brown scored the Overtime TD to win the game after catching 11 passes, 87yards along with 3 punt returns for 40yds. This 5’9 155lbs speedster I once said reminds me of Tyrek Hill without the off field drama. Good luck to Que’ Sean the rest of the season.

Brown looked good hope he has a big year. He's dangerous on punt returns

My goal is to stay close then maybe my champion pick will allow me to win. As long as im close with Don Hines I must be doing halfway decent lol

I think we all are hoping that, my champion is not necessarily one of the 4 favorites but
i expect to be in the title game and challenge for the trophy, ring

Duke was a 17 point favorite over my team UConn last night and barely won by 6.

Gaither for St. Stephens is a baller.

And that freshman #25 had some wheels!

I'll say this. East Burke boys look tough on film. That defense is a nuisance, as designed, linebackers play aggressive and smart.

East Burke will be a tough game for anyone.

Where did he transfer to

There are always lulls in talent in 1A football. Swain has always been a tough out through the years because they played hard nosed football, ran the ball, controlled the clock, and finished drives. They never beat themselves with penalties and turnovers. These are the traditional Swain teams I coached against. I'm sure the coaches are busting it to make what they have better everyday. I'll bet they do much better once conference hits.

Monroe @ PR should be interesting

Let’s get it cooking’

Bandys over West Lincoln- a close matchup, should be oughta be, but Bandys be alittle too athletic for the rebuild at WL. Prob 2 score game

The Hill over Ljnconton- battle tested I can believe it, but Willis gets it done. If they hung close to Randleman then this is a no brainer but hoping for a close but safe game

Maiden over EB- only 1 EB win over Maiden which was the 1st time these 2 met in 07’ and obviously without Shatley EB just can’t compete with em’. It will be a battle test for Cavs to see how much adversity they can overtake and will be their hardest game of season. Keeping Freedom to just 2 scores is no easy task so EB even though big underdogs in this one they’ll show they’re not pushovers but reality is Maiden is just too much.

Newton over West Caldwell- time for the boys to showcase what they got and get a much needed win. Newton played a whopper of an East Rutherford team so talk about battle tested. North Lincoln pulled off a sizzler on those boys with a 1 point victory barely escaping with a win.

Other close area HOT games :
(No predictions)
Hickory at EL- battle for supremacy but Hickory shows their stuff and EL, well we shall see how they hold up against a powerhouse

Statesville at North Lincoln- that’s were I’m gonna be or may be if I’m a gamer. I enjoyed that light tshow they got set up. Game wise HUGE battle for 2nd place, respect, and playoff seedings.

Kinda off CVAC but is Bazzel back?

The association was trying something new and trying to figure it all out. Looking at what other states have done and copying them is fine, but I think using the cup standings is fine. A school that consistently dominates their classification should be moved up and those that are regularly near the bottom can be moved down.

I'm gonna go out on a limb this week and say maiden offense clicks and we put up 45+ pts.

I always love your enthusiasm…well…most of the time. 😜

I won’t mention the Christ School score which wuddn’t nowhere near 45 points….but East Burke held Freedom to 12 points….the Bears didn’t…. Just saying.

I’ll take a 1-0 win…with our new kicker pulling us through on a penalty kick!😉

Go! Blue Devils

Maiden Creek said:

Speaking of Area 51….not taking away from the heavy weights over there….but the Catawba county vs Iredell county showdown between Foard-St. Stephens versus North and West Iredell the next 2 weeks is gonna be fun to watch.

That’s prime time right there!

Let’s go! Foard!

SSAW!…show ‘em.

Better get that conference win in these matchups for sure.

Just a simple survey. Do you hear colors and smell sounds when you get on here? That's it, that's the survey. Wait! One more! Are you extremely hungry and a little bit sleepy when you get on here? If you answered yes to all the above then I can completely understand your opinion.

you may need to check yourself if that opinion bothers you. the truth is the truth

Big Red RKO said:

It's getting serious now..
Bandys. Should be the big game of the week
Bunker Hill. will be a tight game. Lincolnton is battle tested
Maiden. If Maiden struggles stopping the run like the did against Saint it will be a long night. But they will be fine. Too many athletes.
Newton Conover.Finally gets that needed 1st win. We are battle tested.

Getting your doors blown off does not mean you are battle tested. It usually means you just got your doors blown off.

I'm gonna go out on a limb this week and say maiden offense clicks and we put up 45+ pts.
