Props to East Rutherford

Let me preface this by saying I have no East Rutherford affiliation whatsoever. That being said Coach Russ and staff have done a tremendous job. 3 years ago they did not have a varsity football team because of apparent issues. That could have been a death blow to spiral into staying in a constant state of 1-2 or 3 win seasons for a long time, but whatever those guys are selling their kids believe in and play hard for them.

We get so caught up in who is better and pulling for alma matters and all those things, which is great it is what makes the game so special. But sometimes its nice to recognize someone for doing a really good job and essentially restarting a program. So props to the coach and his staff. Also school admin and community for allowing the guy to do the things that needed to be done.
Absolutely correct. So next in this next game, remember the unsung heroes behind the scenes! Celebrate the dedication of Coach Russ and his staff. They’re not just building a football team—they’re instilling pride, resilience, and a winning mindset!

Proposed realignment

I'm wondering what everyone's thoughts are on the ADM numbers that recently came out. I am sure there is a lot of work to do but in the 4A for instance, I only count 20 teams that could be consider East teams. How in the world do you make that work? I see a lot of split conferences in order to make this work. Why in the world didn't we just leave the subdivisions in place like they were? We had 8 football state champions that way and now you propose this debacle which makes for 8 state champions again. It will be interesting to see how this turns out. I see lot's of travel which is not what we need. Good luck guys.
My proposal would be to decide East and West per classification. That helps a lot.

As for 8 champions...there will be 7. 1A and 2A will have to combine. I believe there's only about 19 schools in 1A with football teams.

What's craven vs northeastern

Your last sentence is the problem. Not one team has been able to stop our offense. We’re averaging over 52 a game. West Craven and Dj will score on us, that kid is talented and I believe he’ll get a lot of D1 interest next season. He’s the total package. NE is just explosive with a lot of playmakers. It’s gonna take one helluva good defensive team to slow NE down. I don’t see that team in the east. NE wins in a shootout, I have a prediction of something like 56-37 area. WC is gonna face a good defense in NE. Their coaches and fans know that. Wrh by 28 plus
While West Craven has a solid defensive strategy, facing NE's high-octane offense will present a significant challenge.

Corvian?

This is not a federal conversation Buzz. This is a state level conversation. Republicans control the NC General Assembly. Republicans just voted to take your tax dollars and give them to private schools. Republicans are currently the ones that don't pay you what you are worth in the public school system.

Republicans have also had a veto proof majority in NC because a Charlotte area Rep that had been just elected as a Democrat magically decided to change parties after the 2022 midterm election.

The federal government has little to nothing to do with charter and private schools.
The fragility of our political landscape can dramatically alter the balance of power in the General Assembly.

If you're not funny

..dont come after me. You will pay dearly. You random names that nobody sees until playoff time, when your team makes it past first round, always think you can hit the bullZeye on the dart board and endup not even hitting the board. Every season there's one or 2 of you Great Value name posters. Stop it.
What are you even talking about clown 🤡

West Charlotte at Erwin

Here’s my question for the Erwin guys … how does this team compare to the 2013 team ? Cause man that was a really good team that if hadn’t ran into troubles at the end of the year would probably done very well ..if my memory serves me correctly the 2014 team was good but I thought the 13 team was special
I would give a slight edge to the 2013 team. They had a senior qb and were deeper at the skill positions. I would compare this squad more to the 2018 team that lost to a really good Mt Tabor squad in the playoffs. We have a great Sophomore QB who has a good chance of playing at the next level and breaking a lot of passing records in our area. Like the 2018 team, this group is really solid on the O-line. They have good size and move really well. We have a lot of guys playing both ways and so far we have held up pretty well. The coaching staff has done a great job developing and preparing this team. This was a 4 win team just a year ago. The QB and O-line improvement in a year has been impressive.
