I remember the Coach Lowery days! They used to carry a huge log when they came out for the game. I'm guessing they stopped that????
That was just one year 1994. We started the season 0-4 and the team was angry and had a team only meeting out in the woods behind the stadium. They found a tree and pushed it over as a team. They carried it out every game after that. From that point on we won every game and made it to the 3A west regional final. We lost to Burns in the final in a barn burner of a game unfortunately but it was a great year.

Starmount @ MA Round 2 2024

You're my kind of people Kidd...

We welcome Eastern to 3a with open arms, but when and if we face them, same thing applies, Snot bubbles, cept in yalls case it wont be from crying over what some idiot says to them on a message board lol
Snot bubbles? That would be the least of y’all’s worries when facing the smallest school in 3A next year (or whenever 😂)
I know Eastern left yall in 2A with Reidsville for last four years…
How’s that been going for that team of yours? Asking for a friend 😂😂😂
Seriously I don’t even know if little ol ER will make playoffs against the big boys gonna be in 3A…
If they do I’m sure the triplets will mention, in that copy and paste manifesto, how the Wildcats don’t belong on the same field with the Golden Lions…
Snot bubbles be damned 😂😂😂😂

West Stokes @ Monroe

Let's hear everyone's prediction. I see a similar game as the WS and Reidsville game. A lot of scoring and not enough defense. If Monroe can handle the big nasties, they will have a chance. Otherwise King Cats move on!

I wouldnt say this would be similar to Reidsville vs WS because I doubt seriously Monroe is dumb enough go with a 3 man front.

West Stokes @ Monroe

Is the runningback that was running through reidsville back? He seems to have gotten hurt late in that game if i recall?

I was very impressed with this West Stokes team, they just kept coming against Reidsville, powerful running game...

I think this will be a tough test for the Monroe defense but their offense against the West defense could be similar to the situation up at Reidsville.....

I love this time of year......
I think he dislocated his elbow. I think they dipped him in soapy water when we played them. He is slippery. I think he yelled out when he went down. One of his team mates was waving for assistance immediately. His waving was seen before the referees play ending whistle sound got to us in the stands. Kind of like seeing the smoke before the sound of a starters pistol in track and field. I am telling my age now.

Yeah, back in the 90s and 2000s everyone hated each other. Things feel better these days but there still some hate. Remember a fight broke out after the 95 game against ND, then of course the Lexington game could get a bit rowdy. I didn't know anyone from any Davidson county schools besides Thomasville and North. Only cause many of my family from my dads side were from Midway and moms were from Thomasville. Dad played football for the black knights in late 60s early 70s. Both sides of the family have fun talking smack about the rivalry. Nothing personal, all fun with what I post here. Believe everyone in Midway goes to OG now, it's good for them. Closer commute, new facilities, and good teachers. That said, 1-2 against my little dormant 1A Bulldogs.😛

When I transferred to Carver my sophomore year, the culture was alot more friendly and closer with Forsyth county schools. Even though we didn't like Parkland and a fight would break out at the game in Bowman Gray, we still get along. I have friends from every school in Winston. But yeah, gonna see the rest of the playoffs and check on basketball.
Me and a guy from Lexington almost went at it in 04. He was grabbing my face mask on successive plays so I cut him a time or two. He wanted to fight after the last one and I put my hands up in defense while eyeing the ref. Ref was staring at us. I said, "you play clean and so will I. Deal?" We grazed knuckles and got back to popping play after play lol.

There was a brawl in 84 or 85 I believe.

Tville is 2-1 against OG but 1-1 against juniors and seniors. Ledford beat the sophomores and juniors but I don't count that one lol

Does FHHS still pretty much use the same facilities as when it opened in 1960? If so, any plans to build a new school on the horizon? I can't imagine a 65 year old school being in that great a shape.
New school is under construction currently next to the west end of the football stadium. It's being built to support 1500 plus students. The old high school will then be remodeled and turned into the middle school. Login to view embedded media

The story is when Forest Hills was being built around 1958-59 (opened in '60) the infestation of yellow jackets on the land that was cleared for the school was so bad it affected the the actual construction. So when construction was complete they chose Yellow Jackets as the school mascot. 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝

I actually think this is part of our county's problem to be honest. And it's nothing against you my friend BJ85, I just have noticed over the years that unlike Cleveland our county does support each other with rare exceptions.

I'm guilty as well I admit it. I have never cheered for Lexington but at this point that is for more reasons than just being a homer. I have never cheered for Ledford in anything. I have cheered for Tville outside of when ND played them. I cheer for OG outside of when ND plays them. I will get behind the county schools on their level of foozeball including SD because they have never been anything and need it lmao.

By and large however I find there is no love lost when county schools go places. Everyone hates Lexington and Lexington hates everybody. Tville gets support but there are also those who hate Tville. OG is hated because they're the shiny new toy everyone wishes they were lol. Daddy's money and all that jazz... and as for the other county schools they all hate each other especially Central and West.

So I admire Cleveland County for being like the armed forces: as a Marine I make fun of the chair force and dog faces and squids but I also have love for those guys cause we support each other when we're going to do work.

Alright that's it for me on this topic. On to basketball and observing the rest of the playoffs as a neutral guy haha

Corvian?

You can find it at Carolina Preps, look in the team pages. Dates go back to 1968, just click on the coach/year and you can see the record for the entire season. https://carolinapreps.com/teams/frontend/teampage/allTimeRecords/74
Boom. The greatest “run” in Mitchell history has them up 4 games !? Lol. I’m so glad to put them back in place. Wrestlers are joining back and we are bringing in some kids from Cloudland. Our JVs wore them out this year. On the way up from here. I hate it for the kids… but this is the way. Go Vikings. I guess Qb power in ledger is coming to an end.

Richmond VS Rolesville Round 3

Whoever wins this game will make the 4A Eastern Regional Finals. Cleveland hasn’t shown me anything to think they can beat either two teams. Richmond has been underrated all year. The offense is decent, but the defense is legitimate.

Rolesville will be their biggest challenge so far this year. Richmond will score on Rolesville, but can’t their defense contain Rolesville’s offense? No one has been able to do so all year.
I think this is the best game in the East this week. I do think CG is good enough to come out of the East. I’m glad Clayton and Rolesville gets to experience playing at one of the best venues in the state. A packed house at RC is a special place.

Corvian?

MR Kidd , i know you are a deer hunter and an avid baseball fan. You need to run out and get that radar gun calibrated on Monday. Pull up on the 40 yard line like it was home plate on Friday night and see what that time is from the 40 to the endzone. I will be there , maybe we can drank a cup of coffee and chew the fat and realize a little banter never hurt anyone.
Ain’t always about how fast you get there. Sometimes, in football at least, it might come down to who you run over to succeed. Check out 1A in the past, as it looks like you have, and you will see ER been referred to as the “speed” team before. Doesn’t matter what the radar gun says, the scoreboard always has the final say.
And yeah I’ve been known to sit in a tree occasionally and way back in the olden days was lucky to be part of a fairly decent high school baseball team

West Stokes @ Monroe

Do you think this is their best team ever. West has played them few times in the past
Not sure if their best team ever but they're definitely better than the last couple of years which is saying alot because those teams were loaded but fell short. I think the FH game with them would have been closer if we weren't rotating QBs at the time. You've got to contain their QB Keegan Chambers and athlete WR/Safety Jordan Young. Even if you can do that they still have more athletes that are hard to stop like RB Zion Lindsey. They're basically a track team playing football. Hope you've got some speed.

Starmount @ MA Round 2 2024

Yep. I am to the left (far right in the picture) of fellow historian and friend Deanna. She wore her Navy Blue for the Eastern Randolph playoff game. She loves her Rams and does their history research. She came to Chapel Hill last year and supported her conference and Western representative, the Mount Airy Bears, at the State Championship. We think the NW1A is a standard for excellence in many eyes, and we are all proud to be a part of it. Sometimes things get heated on this message board and seem out of control, but I know these guys in the picture and they are all good folks. We should expect anyone to defend their school's honor even though it does get contentious at times. After Friday, whoever wins this game, I bet 95% of Bears or Rams fans will be pulling for the other to bring home another Title to the Northwest 1A.

Well said Sir!

Yes scored 3 TD in first half. First play of the game took it 75 yards for TD. I think Monroe is better than Reidsville this year but West playing Randleman, Walkertown, Reidsville and the Surry teams will help prepare them some
