Old building needs some TLC, for sure. Will be good to have East Union on the same campus as FH once the old building is renovated.

I've heard they might change the name to Forest Hills Middle from East Union Middle and they'll be called the Junior Jackets but I've also heard they'll keep the East Union name and Eagles mascot. So I don't know what to believe. 😆

Absolutely...figured the season was gonna be hard to finish on top when Cobb was lost....He was and is such a stud..............

Yeah come on prlyles, know the rules. No one can comment on a Green team/EW thread but MA folks. Oops just broke those rules. My bad.

Good luck to both the Green and Red on Friday night. Think it can be a good game. I think some folks are underestimating how he green team’s ability to throw the ball. They just haven’t had to yet but they have some weapons.
Too bad the purple is now using the round ball instead of the football:

Go Mountaineers

That game still stings. Erwin would be 13-0 right now had the not fumbled in the red zone with minutes to go. Heritage is a hell of team this year though. They have a legit chance to win it all in 1A. I think what MACFAN was saying is WC is much bigger school so they have a lot more kids to pull from. It doesn't mean a smaller school is not as good, just at a disadvantage in that aspect.

Student population in an urban school doesn't mean that amount is eligible to play nor does it exclude the amount of young ladies which our students t population is more females than males. There are a TON of obstacles to deal with in an urban school that has to be dealt with. Heck, bad grades, unstable parenting, unstable home environments, students being the oldest sibling so they can't play athletics because they have to go home after school to take care of the younger sibling(s), homelessness and much, much, much more. I've even known of coaches and teachers who've voluntarily had to help pay rent and/or utilities for the parents of some of the kids' families.

Despite all of the above, I'm proud of Coach Greiner being able to keep the kids focused, hungry, humbled and centered.

Take 3 eggs and tell your wife to watch you juggle them while standing on your finest floor. Think that's hard. Take 400 of them and do it while she watches. Think about it. Reidsville don't care where we are classed. 99% of Shelby fans don't either. Both programs can play well, wherever. It has to be split somewhere. How about you and TD and 2nd give us your plan.

Well one thing is for sure you talk a big game and all your dang excuses, but always been like that over there, you get to bring that all big, powerful and almighty Rams team over Friday and back those words up. Good luck to you and let’s see how many excuses you come up with this time. So tired of hearing QB was hurt, bs he was running for his life. Didn’t seem hurt on his opening touchdown celebration but when he started getting smacked different story. Trust me the “Hit Somebody” motto will be in full affect. There have been plenty of good teams that plan on running on mount airy and went home shaking there head. Can’t wait. You can get your shot at Tarboro next year in 2A

What does the student population have to do with it? Erwin's one defeat came at the hands of Mountain Heritage, a 1A school.

NE by alot

Wish I could make it but other things came up. I feel this is the game to be at. I may be wrong but I think this game could come down to a 1 score game. The fans definitely will be on their feet for this one.

I know West Rowan won the 3A State titles from 2008-2010 and then lost in the State title of 2011. They had 46 straight wins without losing a game.

Why does he need a break, have you not read all of NCBBFB comments about how they manhandled us and are going to again. We come back and he needs a break. Come on man

They had over 2200 as of a couple weeks ago. 100% positive on that. There was no adding numbers, thats not how the numbers are turned in. I was told during last classifications they had 1600, not 100% on that.

Click to expand...

You're 100% wrong. I am a very actively engaged alum and booster. I spoke with one of the assistant principals about the numbers prior to them being released and the current number is 2,012. I soke with the Principal about the numbers this past Friday night at the game and she confirmed it to be 2,012. Having first hand knowledge of the previous ADM for the current 3A classification being 1,400 based on athletic related business I was involved in with the previous AD.

Not sure where you're getting your information from but it's inaccurate.

You’re an idiot. We don’t fantasize about our team. Our team smacks you in the mouth and then we brag on them. 42 in a row so next up come try your luck.

There are two sides to that coin too. As bad as Starmount played(more like coached) and only lost by 3. That should be worrisome to Mt Airy. I know that Mt Airy fans will say vice versa.

Many are wanting to continue to point out the - 1 yards rushing but don't finish the storyline that the Rams didn't try to set up a rushing attack. I'm pretty sure that the negative yardage came from QB sacks where he was limited on running because of injury.

We had a student pop of 1,400 when the last classification was done. In fact, we don't even have 2,300 now, it's about 2,000. The CMS Athletic Director added 300 to the number for potential student body growth that will probably occur over the next 4 - 5 years.

Myers Park has the highest student pop in all of NC, have for some years. Along with parents and supporters with significant wealth and they're not even in the playoffs. Heck, their booster club budget is about $1.1 million dollars year over year.

They simply will not accept that. Said it a million times. WC played 4A with 3A numbers for nearly a decade. WC wanted to be a 4A school and stayed 4A with 3A numbers before last realignment. The school enrollment was capped while new school being built, now that the new school is open the enrollment is growing quickly last two years. This was highly unexpected as most did not want to go to WC the past 20 years and now its changed an families want to attend. Every sport at WC is struggling right now besides football. Guess numbers don't matter except for football.
