Reagan has upset 2 teams already and they have a QB who is headed to NC State. Grimsley absolutely ran over Rolesville. Can the Reagan Raiders actually hang with the Whirlies? IDK....tall task but Reagan has a better defense this year. Great start for the CPC CONFERENCE who are Top Heavy with East Forsyth, Mt Tabor, West Forsyth and Reagan. RJR is also undefeated but will be playing tougher competition this week.

I think it’s i on X that the QB is out for the year with an ACL injury. Is this true?

He had offers to go elsewhere. I think he waited late to commit.

Danged straight! It feels so wrong, that it must be right.

Crest playing with house money
No defense
Shelby offense can’t be contained two weeks in a row.
Crest can’t score unless with trick plays
Shelby by 20

Did some digging…

The slur and junk talking started with first post in the thread. Pressure is on Crest defense to rise up after rough showing Monday. Shelby won’t have another disaster offensive showing on Friday.

Do you know why NE does not currently have the kids to be more competitive? They certainly did not have that problem several years back when they were making deep playoff runs and winning a few state titles. It always baffles me how a program can fall off so much from what they used to be. Sure, a good bit of that can be coaching and how much effort the head man puts into the program. But that is not the sole and only reason.

Well I don’t I know exactly because I was a young kid - but when Raymond Cobb left to go to Southwest is when North Edgecombe started going downhill and when Southwest started having a resurgence.

Much respect to coach Murphy and what he is trying to build at North but they just don’t have the kids right now to compete. As the original poster pointed out, this use to be a game that many looked forward too but unfortunately it hasn’t been that way in a while. I’d be completely okay with dropping this game. I cannot imagine it’s a good gate anyway. With that said, another long night for the warriors.

I didn’t know what would happen obviously but I knew that first drive tonight would be a huge deal. We got stopped on 4th and gave Crest a short field. That proved to be a big difference. We have plenty to work on but there are a lot of things we can build on. We definitely need to develop the passing game. It’s early and the first full game for McGowan at QB. I think we will be fine. Young but coachable.

That fourth down gamble ended up being very costly plus the questionable roughing the passer. Burns is a much better team than most of us expected. If they stay healthy with those LBs playing QB and RB the old school power running game will be hard to stop. KM run D vs Burns run O should be a good one. Burns is definitely 2A top 10

44-0 Weddington

I was only messing with y'all. I will say that a lot of rivalries in the state as of late aren't living up to their past billing... Most notably, Page/Grimsley, Richmond/Scotland, Ktown/Concord, and Crest/Shelby. Somewhat lackluster recently.

I will also say that while Page has dominated Grimsley in the past, Grimsley is now the better team for the past 4-5 years. So, that does make it very interesting.

No love for James Kenan, ED and not much for West Craven.

Burns did exactly what they needed to do to win this game and many others this year. Run the ball and stop the run. I could see Burns being a team that only completes 5 passes per game but using that ground game to control it.

Crest, no doubt, needs to work on the defensive front but this is the first game of a new coaching staff trying to recognize who needs to be where. The QB situation is an interesting one. McSwain and Melton bring different skill sets to the table and Brock had a nice summer playing WR too. Coach looking for ways to use both guys. OL is having to learn their job after 2 years of just block long enough to get the ball out. They will be a better unit as they grow. Gotta like RB and WR spots. Great athletes across the board.

Great county game.

2019 Palmieri leaves Mallard Creek and they decide not to stay inside the program and hire Stone or LJ. Instead they hire outside and it takes exactly 2 games before fans, players and most importantly parents jump ship. They start lightning up social media, suddenly kids are to hurt to play and by the next year a dozen kids transfer out.

It takes almost no time for a program to fall off. Ferbee might turn out to be the right choice but it gets worse before it gets bette

Anything can happen in these games but my unbiased opinion on what little I know is if Shelby can run the ball successfully then Crest is in trouble on D because Shelby can throw it too. Shelby on the other hand couldn’t stop AC and Crest had weapons on Offense. Turnovers will decide this game. I know better than predicting and when I do the opposite happens so I’ll say I hope they both win. 😂

What happen to my little buddy, BK?
