Forsyth County Transfer???

I coached at Carver that last decent playoff run in 2A and while open enrollment is a part of the issue it's not the primary issue. It's no longer enough to tell parents to send their kids to a school simply because it's in their district. Kids now want to compete at programs that have 5 man sleds and tackling dummies. They want to be at schools that have a sense of pride about themselves. It's noted some of the reasons Carver and other schools are where they are. Some of it system and some self inflicted. You're asking parents to turn a blind eye to a better situation for their child. Yes if you're good colleges will find you but it also doesn't hurt to have those colleges at your high school already as a destination because of a pipeline or relationship with a coach. Why shouldn't a parent pave a better road for their child? I'm a traditionalist and Ole school but I even understand loyalty is pretty much over. We can't even get universities to be loyal to conferences nevermind players and coaches loyal to teams anymore. The only loyalty a parent should have is to the best situation for their child. If it's works out I'm the district school God bless them but stop vilifying parents for seeking the best interest for their child especially if they're within the confines of the rules. If your kid can play and stays in one of the aforementioned districts you all expect a parent to choose those over EF or WF? That's not realistic and it's delusional now that it's within the rules. Shoot the top lawyers go to the top firms right? Or at least Suits has me thinking that. 😆
Well, I do not blame Carver or their administration for what has happened there. I blame the Forsyth Co. school board for implementing open enrollment. Though, I think Carver has started out 3-0 so maybe they can get something going this season. It just makes me ill to see what has happened there and that not that long ago they were a 3A power winning a state title.

Forest Hills (1-1) @ Walkertown (2-0)

This turned out to be a really good game. Forest Hills has some serious speed and Walkertown seemed to win up front, especially on offense. The Walkertown QB forced some throws early and got picked 3 times. The Walkertown running back #2 Kelly was really impressive and WR #0 (Curry?) is a playmaker.

Forest Hills dominated special teams all night, but a FH player let a kickoff go in the 4th quarter hoping it would go out of bounds, and a Walkertown player made a heads up play and dove on it for the recovery about 6 inches in bounds. That was the difference in the game, because WTown scored on that possession to go up two scores.

Final WTown 27 FH 21
Congrats to the Wolf Pack. Sounds like they are for real this season. Thought they had little chance to win this game.

Richmond vs. Gibbons

Raider fans indicated there was not a ton of talent coming into this year. So far they have played the same schedule as last year with marked improvement based on the scores.

Appears the new coach is doing better than the staff from last year. If this ends up working, you’ll have your coach for years to come. If not, well you’ll keep rolling the dice in an area that doesn’t have a lot of
opportunity to draw a coach and his family.

NW 3/4A

Tell me what to expect from AC this Friday at Burns? I think Burns will get things righted this week at home. The last two weeks against Crest & KM have been tough. But I think most any 2A team with struggle with those two back to back.

Burns has a really solid running game, still finding our footing in the air but it was better against KM last night. Pretty young on both sides of the ball.

Burns won last year 50-7 at AC
I think AC did pretty well in 1st 2 games. Competed with Statesville and beat Wilkes Central easily but struggled with North Iredell last night but I think they had a ton of turnovers in that game.

Butler at Richmond

Nah you and your friend Boknow need to stop it😂. Stop it. I really had to look up who the hell Glenn was. Butler beats chambers IMO. Better coaching and way better QB alone gets a lot done for you. I really think butler has a W if they had Lawrence vs Richmond.

We really sound like UF vs FSU fans in 2024. Maybe the two schools can set up the toilet bowl butler vs Chambers, game of the winless.
Both teams are down bad. We did lose most of our coaching staff and had 3 certified dogs leave to the portal. No excuses, I think both teams will turn it around. At least we’ll be good this basketball season if not 😂

Cleveland County

Same! I tried hard to go old school last season but it just wasn’t the same. We know each other and know we’re full of crap. I hated we lost last night but KM played well and made plays. It happens. The sun came up. I’m getting older and would rather laugh with my friends than piss my friends off over high school football. Don’t get me wrong, I hope the other 3 schools lose every game but not by a lot… maybe 40. 😂
Maybe we should start worrying about Highland Tech. They are 2-0 ya know lol 🤣

Cleveland County

How things change in a couple weeks
Pre season Shelby best in county by all who ranked things like that
As much as things change this still stays the same Crest runs this county!
Awful quiet from BIG Shelby so far , SL about the only one that has the onions to come on here after a loss.
No SL not the onions you put on your mater sandmich
I came on here and bragged about your QB from Chase. He did great.

NW 3/4A

Week 4
South Caldwell vs Bandys
Watauga vs ACR
Hibriten vs South Point
Alexander Central vs Burns
Ashe vs Mt Airy
Freedom vs Gaffney

Pretty tough matchups especially Freedoms game. I wouldn't be shocked if the conference went winless this week.

Burns won last year 50-7 at AC
