Kind of hard to cover Clinton games when they have none to play. As far as in season, I’m not the owner of the business so I go where I’m told. Clinton is and will always be priority #1 in terms of our coverage but if the boss says we’re covering another team this week, I go where I’m told. “Clinton U” was a CJ thing, we embraced it while he was here, but he gone so, It’s just Clinton.

Hey at least 91 didn’t call you a weirdo 😂. He must like you. Now if you say something positive about NE he’ll take the gloves off quick.

I was expecting this to happen, he didn't really act like himself this year when we played. JV night he showed up late and didn't talk much and he was very quiet on varsity night. Kinda made me think then. But I always liked Southern, he always respected our kids and I respected him so much for that. It'll be weird not seeing him coach, he was at SC as long as I've been at NS (17 years.)

Whoever gets it will have a rebuilding period ahead of him. They had very few juniors this year and for a little bit it was only 3 or so they had out. Much like Elkin they had a ton of seniors, but unlike Elkin they made the most of their season. Their JV team had a rough year last year going winless for the first time at SC at any level since 1990.. Southern could see what was coming.

It'll be interesting to see who they go with. I'm like Thunderstruck I'm expecting that AD to get it, but I'm not sold on him either. They gotta be careful here, one bad move and a lot of Southern's work will be wiped away and it'll be a mess. They don't wanna be like South Stokes. South made a terrible hire in 2023 and it about near nuked their program, they've fixed it since but SC has a lot depending on this hire. Either they make a good hire and stay consistent, or not and it'll he a hard few years.

This man hates Whiteville so bad. Still sour from us taking his beloved coach Bob Lewis years back.
40 years ago there were no concrete bleachers on the home side. Several upgrades all around the stadium that he must not be aware of.

You got your concrete bleacher before we got the same exact one in 1984. Hate Whiteville? I have no hate for Whiteville. I'm just not impressed with their facilities. Been to many games there (not just against the DarkHorses) and nothing has really changed except very expensive video scoreboard that just ran commercials when we were there. (Have they ever pressure washed that concrete bleacher?) I just think Kinston is the better team and is more prepared by playing much tougher competition.

8A isn't going to be more competitive than 7A and 6A. Which I believe will be the best two classifications

Just because people laugh at you doesn't mean they are jealous. But I guess it is the only excuse you have for intruding into every post. It's a shame that you could not just let it be about at the end of a long career

That's a pretty funny post. You've got no one as big or athletic as 71. 350 lb running a sub 5.3 40. You can eat buffet all he wants. You ain't moving him. So I'm sure that quarterback won't be tucking and running in a gap will he. That's pretty funny. I may have Read this wrong. And you're not as stupid as you sound. Or I read it right you are as stupid as you sound

As big no but as athletic...lol we have some d linemen that probably run sub 4.7/4.8 40s ones about 6'1 225 not an ounce of fat his name is Braxton Bachelor, we're not huge up front but we are by no means weak.

You are just jealous because you have no team to brag about for the last 4 years Or more years. I am not even sure who your team is. lol

Looks like the kickoff temperature will be around 28 degrees and dropping to 26 by the end of the game. It could change by Friday night.

MH SOON TRAVEL TO ‘ down the mtn’ as said but that’s due to the seeding #1 v #2 where MH should have had that ‘ call’ not the first time either. Wonder how this came about?….anyone explain?

And you wonder why everyone laughs at you guys. You took an announcement about a coach retiring and made it about MA.

New3ra said:

Word around Charlotte is that WC may end up losing guys to Hough. I think if Hough wins this year, you may see them dominate 8A for a few years. The way they attack the portal WC may never get past them. WC also needs bigger and better linemen to compete with the big boys.

I went back to 2004 Monroe has never beaten Catholic. Had couple 1 score games.

Click to expand...

I'm going to have to defend Monroe on this about beating Catholic. Forest Hills and Monroe both were in the same conference with Catholic several times off and on since the 60s when Catholic first started playing a full season in the early 60s. Monroe defeated Catholic a bunch of times and most were while legendary coach Jim Oddo was at Catholic and Monroe wasn't as good as they have become today.

Monroe wins over Catholic:​

1962, 1963, 1965, 1973, 1974, 1976, 1987, 1988, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995,
1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 (18 Wins)

Monroe losses to Catholic:​

1975, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1985, 1986, 1989,
1996, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2017, 2018,
2019, 2020 (16 Losses)

*Any years missing the teams didn't play.

I read somewhere goob was the #1 ranked player of his class, must’ve been pretty good 😆

MA is 50-4 vs Surry Central. yes, MA lost 20-0 in 2015. MA lost to SC 22 -7 in 1998 when Kelly Holder was coach at SC. Holder went to MA in 99'. SC beat MA in 1977 13-8 and in 1976 22-20.

Below is the best I could get it to paste.

WRH, NE, and Reidsville were all pretty close that year. I went to 3 games WRH played in. I saw them beat Havelock. Javonte took the first snap from scrimmage over 70 yds to the house. Then I saw them play your Eagles at NE. Again Javonte took the opening snap 76 yds to the house. Then in the State Championship against Reidsville. Javonte again with the first snap went over 70 yds again to pay dirt. He may be the best back I ever saw in person. That’s a long list of good ones too!

TD, thank you for all you do. The information Deana and I provided was not a slight to anyone. Just trying to capture the entire information available. Keep up the good work. If you have any questions about our entire history, feel free to reach out. By the way, I didn't say Max Preps was wrong. I said we have our own official information and therefore we don't use or trust anyone else's historical information.

Keep posting. You are doing great.

I had no questions about what you posted and I may be wrong but I think mine may have been correct but it only went back to 2005 and yours went to the early 1990s. If I post something wrong please let me know or correct it for me. I know you have all the Bears records.

Penders defense is the most improved in the conference. I do believe that this is the eastern championship just a week early. Nobody is picking Pender but I will. Pender 48 Tarboro 42. I know I’ll get a lot of heat but it’s whatever. All the kids can do is show up and play ball. Hope for an injury free game by both teams!!

daagoob said:

Yes you can, I would love for you to come meet us at Texas Roadhouse. I would love to chop it up with you before the game. I remember back when I first met @dogs79. I think the entire Wrh fan base showed up at the restaurant and man we talked smack to them the entire time. I didn’t let up on them either, it was a lot of fun. And then a couple hours later I was introduced to Javonte Williams and they got the last laugh 😂. That loss hurt because we honestly had a bad ass team that year. Great game that night but we came up short.
