East Gaston vs North Gaston

I felt like we were a bit better against CR (just over matched). We are still in transistion and still a mess, but I expect us to compete against Cramer.
Cramer has a young tough team. I saw them compete vs a good East Lincoln team until the 4th quarter. What does East Gaston have. I know they graduated alot I know they lost the Rowe kid to West Lincoln as well

MPC Week 3

Word on the street, Mister Black Knight Nut, is some of Ledford's players have " transferred " to Oak Grove and North Davidson. Is there any truth to this ?
P.S. Looking at Ledford's schedule , it appears Wheatmore and possibly East Davidson are the only teams the Ledford Panthers can beat . Of course Asheboro can be beat by about anybody, including 1-A teams, on any given night. Unless something quickly jells in Wallburg, Ledford is looking at a two or three win season.
P.S.S. How many decades has it been since West Davidson beat Ledford ?

NIL how it can/will

After following college NIL since its inception.
The main problem with the current iteration of NIL is that people abuse it by paying players in the transfer portal and/or recruits a sum of money to get them to come to their school and play. So it's turned into the rich getting richer...

It's supposed to be about how a kid can benefit from their name, image, and likeness from ads/marketing/sponsorships, appearances, selling of merch/memorabilia/etc. and fundraisers. A big part of it is using social media to drive these campaigns.

I have a feeling College NIL (and hopefully high school) will omit the paying for transfers/recruits part, and keep what it was originally intended to be.

Newton stats incomplete 🤔 kinda like their game Friday night 🤣. Oh that's right they decided to quit instead of facing adversity in the face like real devils (blue) 🤣

East Surry @ Mount Airy

Will Mason or Dandy get much playing time at VT or are they redshirting
Time will tell. They can play in 4 games and still retain their red shirt status. Mason is either 3rd or 4th back. If Tuten gets hurt, he could see some action. Malachi Thomas is the back up and he is pretty good too. Dandy may get a few chances. Not many true Freshmen play and why waste a year of eligibility with so much talent on the team. Unless you are a starter, it is wasting a year.

Shelby at Crest

Everybody try get to game tomorrow night, at 7.00 pm before kickoff
There will be a Ceremony for Jim and John Taylor.
Those coaches made this rival what it is...
From here on out the kids will have more then bragging rights to battle for.
Hope eveyone can make it...
BTW it the Taylormade Classic
Concord and Kannapolis have the bell and here Crest and Shelby have a battle for a damn 3 Wood now. SMH!

Kidding... Both deserve recognition to the fullest!

Butler at Richmond

I agree with this, I stand corrected. I have no problem with that! They also played a good cardinal gibbons team a couple years ago I think to open up.

They still don’t schedule as difficult as butler and my main point without nitpicking still stand, I think butler would beat chambers this Friday if you lined them up. My other point still stand, chambers would be 0-4 with butlers schedule as well especially with a back up QB. I’m still trying to wrap my head around dub c, creek and chambers having “real dogs” while butler isn’t known for that according to one poster lol. There’s been times in the past 15 years dub c was comparable to garinger and Phillip O berry, but now they got more “real dogs” than a Indy or butler😂😂.
Think they are talking historically and right now. But agree. WC had some terrible years. Butler has had some real dawgs no doubt. Some of the best to ever play in the QC come out of Butler. Think we harp on this so called culture thing too much. The biggest advantage Butler has IMHO is they run a system. A contrarian system in HS is deadly. Also Coach Hales is a great guy and can get the best out of their players. Being at a school 10+ years is an anomaly. Just talking with him he makes you want to run through a wall! He's the definition of an old school football coach.

Looking back at Butler since 2013, they only had 3 seasons of 3 or less losses. But between 07-12 they had 5 losses total! Amazing. Its more like Hales was the band aid that kept a program together, and once he was gone we really see this lack of elite talent. Coach ahales did a great job and is top 6 all time meck CO.

Butler would not beat Chambers if they played Friday. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Chambers would win by 14 or more. Butler is not good right now. RC is not very good, and Rolesville is not a world beater. Butler is way down. Its not the schedule its the team. MC would go 3-1, with same schedule at worse 2-2. Chambers would go 1-3, WC 2-2. Butler 0-4.

Butler at Richmond

Of course it’s more than a hurt QB. They look young at LB and don’t have the difference makers there in my opinion. But a hurt QB is critical for a lot of Hs programs. Most programs even strong programs don’t have depth at QB. Who in CMS isn’t going 0-4 with that schedule with a back up QB right now? Maybe Hough? Is there JV qb from last season still there? He was a special talent I remember.

I think they can turn it around. They will probably go 0-4, then good chance they run the table until they meet Indy since Providence isn’t as strong as I thought they would be (smh that’s another story I had high hopes for them). Idk what to think of Catholic just yet haven’t really seen them. They go 5-5 I will tell you what, if they are healthy going into the playoffs no top seed in their mind would want to play them.

Like I said hiring a staff super late, the brutal schedule, and having to play a back up QB against the one team you were probably confidently beating is a killer. They beat Richmond if Lawrence plays healthy.

I’m sure there are families that will want to play for ferebee next season regardless. He came super late so no time this season for a lot of stuff. But transfers isn’t the answer. We all know it’s culture, weight room, X and Os. Of course Jimmy and joes matter as well but it’s butler. That butler/indy area isn’t really short on talent whatsoever, it’s been proven now 20+ years. Indy is 7 minutes down the street and west Charlotte is scared to play them based on what McFadden is saying 😂. Those “real dogs” from the west side don’t want to play those suburban boys in mint hill with half million dollar homes.
Uhh. You were doing ok for a while then veered way off course. Butler talent is not like Chambers talent and its not close. Chambers lost some great ballers and they are still relatively close in talent with Butler with those guys gone. Some were surprised at the lack of talent in Butler's incoming 9th grade class, and sophomores. Not sure if Indy is just getting all the guys or what. One thing that was mentioned was parents were not eager to play games/move to get into Butler as it was a much longer drive on 485 than say a Chambers, WC or MC which are similarly located on a hwy. Ferebee will get it turned around, but Butler definitely has a talent gap when compared to other top schools.

You mentioned WC. WC JV destroyed Butler's JV preseason. The JVs are a dipstick of your HS program. Butler JV also got destroyed by RC. This isn't just a coaching, or QB issue. Its an overall talent issue. WC JV may go undefeated and only lost 1 game last year. This is with super star freshmen/sophomores playing on varsity. Not sure folks realize how talented WC 26,27,28, and incoming 29 classes are. WC JV killed Indy last year too as WC varsity beat Indy for 2nd time in 3 seasons. Why would WC be afraid? Why would a team agree to play 3 of 4 on the road with no return in gate losing a home game? Make it make sense. WC is a big brand name in NC and if the Palisades game is an indicator will have huge crowds all year.

I don't know about this. That Benedictine team last year was loaded. Definitely not a cupcake.

I concur on that one. Benedictine just lost to Buford out of GA by 1 point. Chambers also played Highland Springs out of Virginia, who won a couple of State Championship recently. Creek is actually trying to schedule a game with Benedictine during our bye week, since our game against Cardinal Gibbons fail through. Neither of those teams are cupcakes.
