East wide open ?

NE, Nash Central and ED. Not sure who the 4th in top 4 would be. That's up for grabs. Clinton won't win their conference. Was already going to be tough even with those players if they had not of left. Wallace I am sure will be fine. Clinton is in rebuild mode and will take a couple of years to bounce back from recent events.
I can most assure u with the 5 players left clinton would not be in this predicament right now. And I still think they would win conference if had them.

MPC Week 5

North Davidson at Watauga
Oak Grove vs Hibriten
Ledford vs Providence Grove
Central Davidson at Eastern Randolph
Montgomery Central vs Piedmont
Asheboro vs Randleman

Here we are... nonconference action almost over except next week.

North has a big hill (mountain) to climb in this one. They go to Boone to face the powerful Pioneers of Watauga. Last years game was a real bloodletting and I honestly don't think it will be much different this year... thank God for that miracle win last Friday and for the bye week coming up cause I feel North is going to need it.

Oak Grove welcomes Hibriten, who is usually very good but appears to be down the last couple years... the Grizzlies are revving at full throttle after the West Forsyth game and should take this one as well imo.

Ledford scored another win against weak competition last weak, beating East 51-42 in a track meet. They get another opportunity for a win against PG. We shall see how that goes... the offense has finally shown up for the Panthers the last two weeks but with the exception of Wheatmore the defense has been nonexistent this year.

Montgomery Central takes on Piedmont, who has only one win but against better competition than MC has faced. MC may be able to get another win before conference play starts... they really have improved alot the past two years.

Aboro has also improved but they have rival Randleman coming to town. I'm not sure they can handle the Tigers but I am impressed with the job their coach has done. Aboro may just be able to get a conference win this year... time will tell.

Cleveland County

I’m hearing KM will have 1400-1500 students next year is that true and we want no what class for a while..
I am hoping to stay in the same classification with Crest but from what I am hearing KM and Ashbrook will both be solidly 6A while Crest and most of the Big South will be 5A. It looks like Burns is on the cutoff to being 5A while Shelby will definitely be 4A. It will be interesting to hear final Adm’s. The school administrators have the numbers already because they track them daily. The first ten days of enrollment is what the state will use determine divisions.

Shelby @ Cherryville

It’s mind boggling…how well they run youth league football over there. My grandson plays pee wee for one of the Cherryville teams.

Go over there on a Saturday….its crazy at how many people are working to support, Coach, and run concessions, etc….and the number of fans. It’s nuts!

It absolutely blew me away! Teams from surrounding counties everywhere…. They’ll play football all daggum day over there.

Just wanted to share that!
I agree....but Cherryville is baseball 1, basketball 2, football 3. I know when we go there for football, always large home crowds.

HICKORY @ EAST LINCOLN

East usually has faster guys in open space you usually see this in the spring. 4 way battle with NL EL, Statesville, and the favored Hickory, this is gonna get TIGHT. The NL EL his gonna be closer than last year.
NL gave up over 750 yards in offense to East Rutherford last week. Those numbers will cost you with the other teams you mentioned. Even with that poor defensive scoring NL actually won the game 56-55.

How loaded is the West

I don't know about that. East Forsyth , Grimsley, AC Renyolds, Charlotte Catholic, Watauga, Mt Tabor, Reagan , are all pretty well coached. And I am sure that if we looked close at Charlotte its not all about rolling the footballs out and playing. If we want to go to the the lower classifications, we can. Hickory, Shelby, Crest, Riedsville, Maiden, Murphy, Monroe, West Charlotte, Kings Mtn, ect ect ect.
I think East actually harder to coach at bc if u look there many teams out east that go 3-9 or 1-10 or whatever bc they are just tough schools to win at or in a top heavy conference and to me there only maybe 20-30 schools in Eastern NC that are consistent and are a threat year in and out imho

West is bit easier to coach in due to more talent and more bigger cities but prob more consistent teams yr in n out.

CVAC 2024 - Week 5 🏈🏈🏈

Got to admit, that's a pretty good motivational speech (except for the devil's pet part). Careful though, some of the Wolves who haven't been out of school too long, and are still able, might try to get out there and play, Friday night.
If I could let you in on something here: In general, most of us Lincolnton people are, well, different. I know it sounds odd, but really, we are. I've watched it over a long period of time, I'm the type who would notice it. We are nice, we're very tolerant and we're very tough, and that is not a boast. On face value you might think, "They don't look too impressive to me," but what I've said I say with confidence and humility. What makes us different is history (and I'll leave that to your imagination). I know this a little hard to accept but it is correct. Not saying it's good or bad-right or wrong, just different; and some of us don't even know it, but it's true. We're as different of a human species as the wolf is in the animal world.
Lol u know I couldn't fire y'all up and get y'all ready without throwing in a couple quick jabs to keep y'all in y'all's place 🤣🤣🤣
