We have some good looking players. We are struggling on Offense (QB and O line). Defense has the makings of being good. Just a lot of stuff to correct. Very inconsistant.

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

SHELBY SUCKS

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 ?

I believe all of Cabarrus county is cashless.

Call me crazy but I think Burns has a shot tomorrow night. Ball control and no turnovers.

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.

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.

Reminds me a lot of Weaver from Andrews. Size, build, strength and speed

He’s probably more of a Weaver/Martin combination 😂 He’s faster than you think, but will truck you if necessary and can play out wide as well.

Page will hopefully be more competitive like they were against Reidsville. Mt Tabor is the favorite. If Page can stay healthy going into conference play while playing 3 tough non conference opponents, that is a win (in my book).

Anyone know if you can pay cash or card.

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) 🤣

Will Mason or Dandy get much playing time at VT or are they redshirting

Click to expand...

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.

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.
