Lack of leadership at that school for years now. They have had tremendous turnover not only in coaching staff/ranks but on the teacher side as well. Hopefully, they can right the ship with a new hire and the kids can get excited again. That JV team wasn't all that bad. They could return to prominence with the right hire. I'm sure their AD will get the right guy.

Who do you coach wrestling for?

I know nothing about him or the recruiting. If he picks Oregon, I could see him transferring out to come closer to home. Oregon is a long way away.

I do think Oregon is a good spot for him….I’m sure he has a great NIL deal and it’s a lot better for him than having to play in the sec and the grind of that conference

That's why I said "shouldn't have burned bridges with Benjie."

Didn't say he was but I want stability. Looking for coaches every two-three years wont fix anything. For the most part fix the offense and the team is fine. Defense was solid for the most part. If we go 4-7 again I'll on the fire the coach bandwagon. If you think coach George is a flag football coach then that shows how clueless you are. It also says alot about our opponents coaches considering many barely beat us.

Only two teams that you say barley beat us Andrews and north rowan. What coaching experience dose George have and how much since you seem to like the way this guy called plays.

They could probably work it out as long as when the games are at Lincolnton y'all give enough gate money to Catawba county 😂

Really don't see the snow as a factor. The wind and rain, yes.

Assuming there are conferences instead of that weird “region” thing, I would think that split conferences would be a last resort. But. I guess in some areas, the last resort would make the most sense, especially from a travel perspective.
If the current RPI formula is used, and there are split conferences, I think it unnecessarily complicates the playoff pairings. But maybe that’s just me.
Not that I have a vote, but my preference is always minimal travel, some parity and maintenance of long time rivals where possible. Oh, and don’t put us in with those High Point schools. They bring out the worst in our players and fans.

I don't know how you'd have conferences or regions or whatever you want to call leagues without splitting or just accepting that a few of them are only going to be 3 or 4 teams. For instance, in 1A there are 4 football playing schools in WNC (Rosman, Andrews, Robbinsville, TJCA) and nobody else until Forsyth and Stokes county. So you can either split, have a league of 3 or 4 schools, or have W-S Prep and Andrews in the same league with a 500 mile round trip. No option is ideal, but splitting seems like the better choice.

If Whiteville has a strong line, they can shut FC down. Don't be fooled by their last two games. North Pitt had one of the worst scoring defenses in the east. FC's other high scoring games came against 2 and 3 win teams, except vs AG. Even when they beat us by 1, they trailed the entire game until the last 30 seconds. I think Whiteville cruises by 18.

Run more successful plays than they do

CPC4LIFE said:

West Forsyth believes they had East Beat at East 2 weeks ago and they are super hungry for this game. Those 3 costly turnovers in the 2nd half are still haunting them after a 35-21 lead. East defense has been exploited the last few weeks and seems to be their weakness. Just how many games can Tarheel QB recruit Bryce Baker bail out the Eagles?

Click to expand...

As many as he decides too, when he steps onto the field 99 times out of 100 hes the best player out there and has backed that up with play time and time again. Im taking east by 14 would say 21 but i think west will score late when it doesnt matter.

I think transfers due to academic reasons should be much easier to obtain if the school the student wants to go has the space. If a transfer is purely for athletic reasons, there needs to be a lot more scrutiny with that. Not a good life lesson to give to a kid if he/she wants to leave their current school because the team isn't great and they simply want to be on a winning program.

Or its a life lesson that the rest of life/athletics does. The transfer portal in college and free agency in the pros.

I just wonder what their plan is for stopping Crest.. If Crest blocks just a little bit for Sub Zero he ain't no joke. With the Brock Melton's coming out party last week giving Edwards a partner in crime the passing game should be there. God knows Ayden Carson is a plow so it's pick your poison time.

They've played no one really and Crest has been in wars. You never say never and on any given Friday anything can happen. With that said A game to A game, they're

OG's best chance is to slow the game down on the ground. The one team they played that has balance was West Forsyth. They ran and passed the ball very well and it looks as if OG couldn't shut either down. They catered to one and opened the other one up. Crest will have a balance on offense the same way and I just don't think OG can tame either enough. Crest by 9 is my pick but like I said, they could blow it wide open if they get that QB frustrated.

I am taking Crest by 9. OG is interesting on paper. QB is young but pretty dang accurate. If Crest can shut down Williams on the ground and really put pressure on the Sophomore QB they could blow this thing open with a talented secondary.

When Reidsville blew out Shelby last year alot of you were confidently saying Shelby was going to come in and play very physical game and move on to the title, because Reidsville hadn'at had a physical game or tough game ALL season.

Now you all are assuming that because Burns has played alot of tough local teams that Monroe has not been battle tested and will be exposed by Burns.

ok

WE SHALL SEEEEEEEEEEE

Click to expand...

I cannot speak for anyone else but you knew what my point was. Playing all 3 CC teams will test you and most years 2-3 are in the later rounds in other classifications. Reidsville was a force last year and most were not surprised by them winning it all. That is why I kept referring to Monroe playing the entire WC game. That game alone could very well have shown much more about Monroe from a fan perspective. On film, they look fast but they always are. We are the underdog and should be but until the clock shows 0:00 I am not counting anything out. Look at JH Rose last week.

The current weather forecast (Wednesday @ 7:30 AM) for Boone for Friday Night between 6 PM and 10 PM is Temp 33 to 34, Winds steady at 25 mph with gusts up to 48 mph which they say will feel like 13; with light snow flurries between 8 to 10 PM.

If you are going put on so many clothes you can barely walk, and look out for slick spots coming and going. Good Luck.

Monroe has the ability to spread the ball around to a lot of different guys. They are not very complicated at all on offense, but what they do they do pretty well and 90% of the time they are gonna have more true athletes on the field than most teams they play. Monroe loses when people who don't know them that much can run with them and are physical with them. They are used to winning big and when they get in a tight game they tend to make mistakes.

Their QB does not read the field great but is serviceable in the passing game. The problem with defending him is resources; if you drop 7-8 and only rush 4 there is a decent chance you flood his passing lanes and make him pull the ball down and run. Therein lies the problem, if you make him a runner that is his strong suit. He is fast, very fast. I believe he is part of a 4 x 100 state qualifying relay team there. Yes I am well aware that "track" speed and "football" speed can be different because of the angles and such, but this kid can out run a lot of peoples angles. Your best option is to try and make him step up in the pocket and put people around him and get him on the ground. If you got a LB that could possibly play a spy technique that could also work. But you HAVE to account for his ability to run. Blitzing him especially if you can disguise it and still get in his face can force a bad throw. If you tip your blitzes there is a great chance he dumps the ball to an equally fast RB or slot waiting around in the flats for it, or he will get deep roll out and keep running.
