Cleveland County

I’ve seen two different 6A conferences for KM and one 5A/6A split.
1. KM, Ashbrook, St Stephen’s, Freedom, South Caldwell, and Alexander Central
2. KM, Ashbrook, Charlotte Catholic, Harding, Sun Valley, Central Cabarrus, and Olympic (CMS wants to keep all of their 6A schools together so we will see) *no Berry Academy
3. 6A KM, Ashbrook 5A SP, Crest, NG, Cramer, FV, and Huss (Gaston County pushing for this conference)
And I have heard Gaston County not wanting Crest in their conference

Cary Christian

I never thought I would ever be starting a thread about Cary Christian. Heck, I didn't know this school existed until a couple of days ago. However.....

I just found out that, not only, does my cousin play for them but also that they won the state championship in their classification. Congrats to the Knights!

I also didn't know that they played 8-man football. I watched one of their games on Youtube and that's the first time I had ever seen an 8-man game. Definitely different. Felt like I was watching an intramural flag football game with pads.

Western Alamance at Providence Grove

The guys game was the ole "Tale of Two Halves". PG had a 30-20 lead at the half. The Pats were handling WA's pressure well. Towards the middle of the third, WA switched to a quicker lineup and it paid dividends. Their pressure forced a slew of PG turnovers which led to a slew of fast easy buckets. PG went from handling the press to looking like a team that had never seen one in their lives. The Warriors rattled off about 15-17 unanswered points. Ended up winning 64-56. Freshman Drew Cohn was outstanding in the second half. The Warrior on-ball pressure on PG' point guard was excellent.

The Patriots could have a fairly decent year. I still don't see how they played South Stokes to within 12. They will have to handle that full court pressure better than they did last night though. I think they could finish anywhere from fourth to last in their conference.

Western Alamance at Providence Grove

Got to check out my "sidepiece" for the first time this season. The Patriots and the Warriors made like a tree and split last night.

Girls game was pretty much over when I walked in the building. WA held a 42-20 lead towards the end of the second quarter and cruised from there. The WA ladies are a solid team. They're well-balanced and play very well together. They also have a very solid PG in senior Allie Sykes. She is really fun to watch. She's the Warriors "John Stockton". I would love to see her get an invite to the East-West game next July.

PG's not bad. They just got outclassed. They did lose two key players and their coach from last year. However, the Lady Pats still play really hard. I get to watch Mailey Way be an on-ball terror on defense for one more year. My prediction is that the Patriots will finish fifth in conference.

Fake Schools

So you didn’t even listen to it and don’t even know what he said. Like I said before this nation was started by Christians the end. My pastor is a history major and we went over all this stuff and I respect him and what he showed and taught me on the subject. Charlie Kirk just happened to echo what my pastor said already. My pastor was also a High school History teacher but quit to pastor the church. He will also tell you of the stuff coming into the schools

The Rematch Whiteville at Northeastern

Much respect for the Prices and what they are doing over there and especially for what they did here at WRH. I just feel like the Whiteville train is about to run outta track this Friday. We all know NE has a great O and have for years so I would think it would be best to slow this game down as much as possible. Do not get in a shootout unless you have some real firepower on O. You gotta try and limit the time NE’s offense is on the field. Gonna need some long time consuming drives of 3-4 yards per play and just make it a dragging, boring game. Just absolutely burn the clock with run after run taking 8-10 minute drives. Put NE D to the test and Whiteville will have a chance. I still have NE winning around 34-22.
Good post as well. This game is big and I don’t think many know just how big it is. @dogs79 and @Otis4411 they know. Like others I’m curious to see how this plays out now. Gonna be an awesome time win or lose and I can’t wait to see the Wolfpack faithful fill up those visitor side stands and I can promise you that the home side will be packed to the max. This will go down as the biggest game (capacity) ever played here at this stadium. Elizabeth City will be the place to be Friday night if you’re a nchsfb fan.

Mid-Piedmont (3A) and Central Carolina (1A/2A) boys basketball prediction!

Ms. Ferguson appears to be doing a great job at Ledford so far, currently sitting at 6-0, which includes a win over a 4-4 Greensboro Page squad . Page is a little down this year with only two seniors, but still a good win for Ledford.,
North Davidson is 4-0 , with three of the four wins against winless East Davidson and winless West Davidson. The Black Knights other win was against the Thomasville Bulldogs.
Oak Grove is 3-0 , with two of their wins coming against winless Forbush. Could Oak Grove possibly be the " surprise " team in the Mid State this year ?
Central Davidson's record is 1-3, but supposedly they have the potential to compete for the title, but a dude that had been 'adranken told me such.
Asheboro is sittin' at 4-1 , with wins against 1-4 Providence Grove , Uwharrie Charter ( 1-A school ) , and two wins against their little brother, winless Southwestern Randolph. Asheboro's big man for the last three years, Stanback, is on Alabama State's roster, but it appears he hasn't seen the court this year. Asheboro lost to 2-A Randleman tonight, but their next two games are against a winless Southern Alamance squad.
Montgomery Central , bless their hearts, is winless and probably won't win four or five games, if that.. If they can't compete in this conference, they're up Shat Creek, sans paddle.
P.S. Good luck to Coach Ferguson at Ledford.
P.S.S. Greensboro Smith beat Winston-Salem Atkins tonight, 98-19......

Once Again On Christmas Day

Thank Y'all for your wishes.

🏆 🏆 we almost got a three-peat trophy. I guess I was wishing too hard. I probably will never see them win another 🏆☹️. I was a BEAR Fan for the 1968, 2008, 2022, and 2023 🏆🏆🏆🏆 plus 1969, 2009 and 2017 runner-ups. Ya can't win them all I don't guess. The older we get the harder it is to lose after 43 wins in a row.

Albemarle at Bishop (girls)

Just watched the replay and your 10s foot came down on our 10s foot when she launched a half court at the end of the third. Could see the ackward landing and her knee buckling and immediately was concerned about an ACL when her teammate picker her up and carried her off crying. Probably scared her as they all know far too well the problem in woman’s basketball with knee injuries. All of us were thrilled when she came back into the game. She’s a terrific player.. likely to be well over the 2000 point mark by the end of the year, quite an accomplishment.

Fake Schools

Listen to the video provided by Appvol . It totally destroys your argument
Charlie Kirk makes a fortune online preaching to the ignorant who are too lazy to study our history, our documents and our court decisions. Prayer wasn’t taken out of our schools by one person, the Supreme Court ruled it violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. Washington, Franklin, Monroe, Madison. Payne, etc etc were Deists, not Christians. Even Christian founding fathers understood the danger of promoting one religion over another, the very reason many left Europe for religious freedom. Jefferson basically created the concept of “separation of church and state’”’ so people could understand the difference between the free exercise clause and the establishment clause.

We have never been a Christian nation, we are a nation where chrtianity is the most practiced faith. We are not a theocracy.

PS Public school teachers should rank at the top of the most respected professions. What they accomplish despite how they are paid is unbelievable.

Burke County hoops

North Buncombe is bad, it should be an easy win
Our boys beat them already, but our girls fell apart in the second half against them in Morganton and I'd like to see them get some payback. They've gotten some of the other girls besides the returning starters from last season to really up their game over the last two weeks and I am hopeful they'll continue to progress against better competition.

Wilson Prep @ Tarboro

Sure the 1A east isn’t very strong but I’d argue Tarboro has been the most consistent 1A program in the entire state during this stretch as well. The only teams Tarboro have lost to in the west are teams loaded with D1 talent.

How many times has Southwest beaten Tarboro in those years? So even if you were 1A - the result would be the same. Don’t try and sneakingly discredit what Tarboro has done Cougar man lol
Favors a team with a weak division DOESNT it…never seen SOMANY realignments in a state when there’s not even a new school being built,it’s about the fairness moreover it seems.

Burke County hoops

Freedom travelled to Draughn and picked up two wins on Tuesday. In the girl's game the Lady Wildcats were making three early and that kept them in it until the half. But Freedom got good balance with Peyton Caldwell leading the way with 23 points but every Lady Patriot who got into the game scored three other players were in double figures. Freedom won 79-58.
The boys game was never in doubt and Draughn was without DeAndre Moore, who has been their best player for the past two seasons. Braxton King hit five threes and his only two point basket was a breakaway dunk, so he finished with 17. King Johnson had 15 while Kobe Johnson and Amore Connelly each had 12 and both also had a dunk. Freedom got the running clock and won 80-40.
The Patriots and Lady Patriots will head up to Weaverville to play North Buncombe Friday. I've been there before, but it was probably 30 years ago, so I'm excited to return.
