Catholic at Crest

That’s great. I saw them against Burns and wasn’t impressed at all. Didn’t see the Shelby game but heard Shelby QB spotted crest 2 scores and Shelby was unable to catch up. Hope Crest wins tonight. Catholic is usually a top tier program.
Dude, come on. Burns is just that good. It wasn't that Crest didn't look good, were freaking loaded in THA DALE! Hard to impress when you are up against all that my man... I flexed and pulled a muscle as I typed this for the record. Getting old sucks.

SW Edgecombe 3-0 @ Tarboro (1A) 3-0

It's still Northeastern and WRH as the top 2 IMO, and I'm pretty sure we would face one of them or fence straddling Reidsville before the 4th Rd somehow. Hard for me to count Whiteville or East Duplin out of the mix, and West Craven isn't gonna just sit back and concede. Still can't get me to say anything positive about Farmville Central, with their 3-0 record coming against 0-9 teams. I think Wilson Prep gives them all they can handle tonight. But I agree, with Clinton out of the mix, it's be fun to see who emerges from the east.

HS Transfer Portal

I'll bite. What does wanding have anything to do with the topic of football and quality football? Just another way for you to slide in our biased commentary. I've been to private school games and unless they are playing a big rival or is CC its very boring. You have the 4 big privates and PD, but the rest of private ball is really really bad. Most of the Charlotte privates recruit public school kids and if they played with their on communities exclusively no one would really care. That's why CC is so adamant about being in a public league., Its better for business. Why are the charlotte privates begging to get to play public HS better for business. If private ball was good on its on they wouldn;t recruit public school players so hard.

NO one is lining up to see Country Day, Latin, Trinity Christian, North Raleigh, Cannon, Rabin Gap or metrolina so no need to wand as the stands are empty.
I mentioned no wanding as contributing to a better experience. So tell me, who else besides Providence Day around here, are recruiting public school players so hard. I find public school ball pretty boring now. With the transfer portal and all, it's the same teams at the top, year in and year out. Without looking at schedules, one can pretty much predict with 95% accuracy who's going to the playoffs and who's going to contend for a state title. The transfer portable has made things pretty boring for public school ball as well.

Private games are safer for sure, but that has to do with economics like almost anything else in this country.

As far as community feel…some privates feel that way bc the kids grew up playing at the same elementary, middle, and high school yes of course. But most of these big time privates like PD around the country that are attracting top level HS athletes are pulling kids from all over, not much a community feel and your not playing with your neighborhood friends you grew up with. I know PD has a really good OL that they pulled from butler a year ago. PD is much different than a boring a** country day trust me😂. Nobody is going to watch sorry country day play besides their “community”.
Oh I agree. I've said for a couple of years now that Chad Grier is doing a great recruiting job over there. As far as Country Day goes, I have no clue what's going on over there. At one time, they had some very good football teams, playing Catholic every year in the Cook Cup. But since Bob Whitman retired and his son took over, their football program has taken a nose dive. I don't know if they're deemphasizing football or what. But I agree, they are pretty sorry these days.

Archbishop Moeller vs Mallard Creek

Idk about the other states you mentioned but it’s been some big time nationally recognized programs in Ohio. I dare to maybe say Ohio is more respected than NC in HSFB. NC still has the stigma of being a basketball state. This state has pumped out some incredible basketball players, including recently. NC hoopers are consistently going in the lottery in the nba draft.
You pretty much have it right. Ohio has some very good teams, Moeller, St. Edward, Washington, Archbishop Hoban, Avon, Olentangy Liberty, St. Xavier (Cincinnati) among others. With Kentucky I'd raise the same question, unless you're talking about Trinity out of Louisville, KY. Apart from Bishop Gorman, I'd wonder about Nevada as well. In Tennessee, there are a couple of pretty good teams. You have McCallie out of Chattanooga and Oakland out of Murfreesboro.

TGT I looked it up...there are 108 public high schools in NC that have a compass point in their name....I also counted some Centrals.....classic was South Central high school (Pitt County, Winterville)............most all play football............not much imagination in the naming of schools....one of mine and TGT's pet peeves.......................................

No disrespect to Ohio or anywhere else but it’s a pisser that currently there are teams from Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Nevada, etc...ranked ahead of North Carolina teams. Kentucky? Seriously. I like the Creek in this one.
