I’m afraid Hayesville score might be similar. Heard their QB smashed his thumb bad on his throwing hand right before the Andrews game. They must not have a backup

Hayesville 's 2 backups from last year transferred.

If they are paying big time $$$$ I would tell my young one to transfer too. PD has a great education and can make big time money through NIL now. I agree though, everything else is almost a downside. I rather play with the guys I grew up with and public school football at this point is just better week in and week out. I can’t be mad either way, I understand both sides.

Should be a good day for football. #3 for NS has some speed

Looks like it. Private school ball is boring IMHO. Watered down playoffs and you cant get excited about a community you didn't grow up in. PLay with your guys and have fun representing your school playing with guys you grew up with . Great move by him.

Unless he was getting a big NIL deal, I don't get the move. The journey is much more exciting playing 5 games to get to the State Championship in public, vs 2 games in Private. You also most likely play a team in The State Championship that was in your conference. Reidsville crowds are electric, and everyone's home grown. I asked a friend last year, who did PD play 1st in the playoffs. The season was already over, they had won already. PD should try and schedule 3 elite programs for their non-conference games. They definitely have the coaching.

All attendance lines go thru our little town. We are like a Venn diagram.

Town to Sailview...North
Town to Northbrook...West
Town to Coulwood...East
Town to Lake Hickory . Maiden
Town +50 mile diameter ..Publicly Funded Private School
Town to the other side of Town...Lincolnton

Can you count Town to High Shoals...North Gaston? That might get everyone that South Lincoln(ton). A few years ago my sister took a job in Dallas and my wife asked me if I knew my sister was moving to Texas.

Cyclical talent dip, plus they lost some potential talent to other schools. But if they had those guys, they wouldn't be that much better this year I don't think. Their JV kids are pretty good from what I've been told, so they should be on the upswing in coming years.

Whats the injury report on East Duplin? I never doubt Battle’s ability to right the ship. In fact, it’s not unusual for ED to look a little down early but the Richlands result was surprising.

After following college NIL since its inception.
The main problem with the current iteration of NIL is that people abuse it by paying players in the transfer portal and/or recruits a sum of money to get them to come to their school and play. So it's turned into the rich getting richer...

It's supposed to be about how a kid can benefit from their name, image, and likeness from ads/marketing/sponsorships, appearances, selling of merch/memorabilia/etc. and fundraisers. A big part of it is using social media to drive these campaigns.

I have a feeling College NIL (and hopefully high school) will omit the paying for transfers/recruits part, and keep what it was originally intended to be.

Nah, that’s my cousin Ray. In all seriousness you must have me confused with someone else. Either way, take care and good luck to your horses rest of the year.

Reminds me of the lyrics-

What a difference a day makes
24 little hours
Brings the sun snd the flowers

How did Burns Middle do yesterday against Lincolnton?

Stop thinking!! Lol

They can't allow HS to be the wild west like they have in college. Rules regulations and accountability are a must.

Thank You!

Is this REALLY for IMPRINT SURE?

Or is this just a wish it was real?

Tanks Memorial Stadium in Ironton, Ohio as of today on Saturday at Noon. 5-hour drive.

Click to expand...

Tanks Memorial Stadium was the home of the Ironton Tanks semi-pro football team, which played in the American Professional Football Association that later became the NFL in 1930. Their overall record was 83 wins, 19 loses, and 14 ties, and they beat the Chicago Bears and the New York Giants. The Tanks disbanded in 1931, and many of their players moved on to other NFL teams.

This information is shown on a State of Ohio Historical Monument at the stadium which can be read on Google Maps photos, so I assume it is all true.

Ironton is in Eastern Ohio on the north side of the Ohio River. Kentucky is across the river on the south side, so Ironton is very near the intersection of Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia.

Sounds like a pretty interesting old place. The stadium is old and oddly enough the stands are covered, but the the whole place looks very well maintained and the artificial turf looks to be in great condition.

Way one weather man talked like it would be hit n miss rain. But more west they would get more rain.

I guess I should have expressed it in a better way. I know Reidsville is really good in football and even basketball. But add Kendre to the list is going to make Reidsville even more big time in those sports.
