Butler vs Irmo

What starters did they lose, and where did they go?
I don't think he's saying that they lost starters due to transfers. As far as I know, no one transferred out of there. Butler was a senior heavy team last year. They lost nine starters on defense from graduation, so that explains the drop off on defense this year. The offense only lost 3 starters from graduation, so I don't expect much of a drop off in terms of talent. In fact, I think the few transfers they did bring in on offense this year are better than what they had last year. Oline probably will see the biggest drop off on offense this year.

Butler vs Irmo

Yes and no.

They lost several starters when Hales left which is understandable. So they have some young guys that are playing. They weren’t as prepared as they should’ve been against Rolesville and they didn’t have QB Lawerence against Richmond. They definitely looked better against Irmo although the defense really needs work. Yes they are down but not “down bad”. I expect them to get better as the year progresses.

Thomasville vs T.W Andrews

Do you think they’ll ever get the funds/grants to build a new high school?
My understanding is that the cost that was $62 million is now at $87 million. The state only funds $50 million regardless of cost. My guess is that the commissioners may fund several million for some much needed repairs. But a new school at that cost? Pretty unlikely.
As I’ve said before, I have zero faith in the current board overseeing the construction of a new school. I’m not alone in that opinion.

Tarboro vs TTATC(Southwest Edgecombe)

I haven't heard "all the talk" from this side, other than a team and fan base that feel confident. I sure hope Tarboro isn't feeling some type of way just because a team isn't coming in their game accepting defeat before the ball is kicked off. I dare say that many of Tarboro's victories have come during the week, when the opponents don't even believe that they can beat them. I don't know what's being said behind closed doors, but I do know that in public, the players and the fans only believe that this is the best chance we've had in a while to be the kings of the county. I don't think that equates to bulletin board material.
It’s definitely been a whole bunch of barking coming from SWE. Especially before the Eastern Wayne game. Coaches saying that they’re definitely gonna beat Tarboro this year. Even one coach going as far as saying they’re going to blow them out. QB saying he’s going to throw for 300+ on Tarboro. Alls I’m saying is DONT POKE THE BEAR! 🤷🏾‍♂️. I expect a great game for sure though

East Duplin Vs Richlands

Tough loss for ED but I appreciate your radio crew shouting out the podcast last night. Had some folks comment and tell us about it. Happy to see it growing in Duplin County
That’s cool you are expanding into different counties. I listened to the Clinton game the other night and they didn’t say anything about it. Of course the game was so bad doubt many were listening lol.

Thomasville vs T.W Andrews

Some folks may have given up. I’m not one of them. My negative comments have been directly or indirectly aimed at the school board. They’re hopeless. I just hope they stay out of the way and let the superintendent and staff do their jobs. That includes letting the athletic staff do theirs.

I do think you’re right about one thing. Fan expectations in Thomasville have always been unrealistic. Nobody, not even Tarboro, Reidsville, Shelby or Mount Airy wins a championship every year. With all the dysfunction leading up to this season, I consider a winning record and making the playoffs a success. And I never mentioned Coach Maxwell😊.

Went to overtime. That's weird. I thought Butler was down.
Yes and no.

I think it’s going to be a great game. It’s always more fun when the two prideful fan bases get involved with a little harmless banter
