Davie Co at Mooresville Week 1

Totally agree BlueDevil!

I love the area for NC football and it was best when Davie, West, Mooresville, and all the conferences were tough and could post great weeks. Davie and West continue to use the “we are young” scenario. That trend can’t continue unless they literally just don’t have kids coming out to play football anymore.

See you next week at Reagan, I’ll be there early to see them warm up. Haven’t been to Winston for a game since the East Fo / Glenn battle 4ish years ago.

Raiders at 71st

The thing with 71st that makes them very capable of being beat is their offense. They’ll be in a dog fight with any team that can play decent against the run because that’s pretty much all they can do and it’s predictable. They also looked vulnerable against the pass. I’m not surprised it was a good game.

Rolesville @ Butler @ 7pm Friday

Imma chill cause it's early. Mentioned this summer Stone was the guy. Better fit especially with the guys coming back and a sr. qb. surprised Hales wouldn't see the senior qb off.

Hackett was the key to Chambers defense. Cannon took over but the defense was never the same.

Lastly Chambers was SUPER talented. no team had that overall talent level that Chambers had. Ferebee is a great coach and will get Butler rolling but it's a definite culture/scheme mismatch.

Rolesville and Weddington are just better than everyone else.
The culture/scheme mismatch is what jumps out. Not blaming the coach for wanting this job but it didn’t make sense at the time to hire outside when the team was really good last year. A couple plays and they are in the west final against Weddington. I told some parents in the stands it will take some time because of the new scheme. Hopefully the kids will buy in.

Owen Warhorses

Hope you’re right. We would like to have some competition coming out of Black Mountain in the near future. However, after seeing the last couple years I think you’ve lost your marbles. Owen is the worst team in the conference this year and next. Hopefully in the next 5-10 years they can get back to some kind of success. Good luck!

Thoughts and Scores to note

Do you know what all is required from an athletic director? The amount of paperwork that must be done? The fact you have to manage other sports than just football?

The only short sightedness is your lack of a critical thought process.
I would assume (I really have no idea) they have an assistant AD taking care of administrative duties during the fall sports season. In my experience that is common place.

Page football

You're not wrong...
Page started a Freshman QB and Freshman RB tonight.
Halftime score is 47-0 Dudley.
The panthers are just bigger, faster, stronger, more experienced, and more disciplined.
Page is going to take some lumps early in this building phase.
You must be out of the loop. Dudley has tried to play Grimsley the last 4-5 years while both have had a significant amount of talent. I’m not sure if the staffs don’t get along or what but it will not get done.
I heard Dudley has been ducking

Starmount at North Iredell

Last year this game went down to the wire. North Iredell suppose to be improved team from a year ago, but they lost their starting RB to Lake Norman and a player to Starmount. North Iredell does have 1 standout player their QB Caleb Sales, but he can't do it all. This use to be good Rivalry from the 80s to mid 90s North Iredell and Starmount. North Iredell was about the only program that could give Starmount fits in BW Holt era. Starmount is loaded and off to a good start. Starmount by 18. Any thoughts?

North Surry Needs a Week 2 JV Game

North Surry is looking for a JV game this Thursday 8/29, our week 2 opponent isn't fielding a JV right now. It's scheduled to be a home matchup so that's what we'd prefer, but worst case we could work something else out on our bye week date perhaps. If your team has an opening and is interested please contact our HC Jackson Smith at:

Biggest surprises of the night for 8/23

Was the Tuscola score not 42-6 that’s what I saw on Maxpreps?

Coleman has taken what Pritchett began building and just continued to improve on it every year. More Brevard athletes are buying in and they’ve always had the athletes. They beat Pisgah at least 9 out 10 this year and we may need help from them to beat them. They are simply bigger, faster, and stronger and just as well, or better, coached than we are. I’d say they are at least 2 scores better than us every night. That will not be the case with the majority of teams we face so that alone will make things appear better as the season moves along.
The score I saw was 42-0. My mistake if not, but that's still surprising imo.

Raiders at 71st

Richmond started out rotating QB’s but I think they found one in #12. Defense was on the field too long in the first half. Richmond fought back in the 2nd half and almost pulled the upset. I like the effort in the second half. Raiders keep working hard and they will get better. By the way I hate the pooch kick on kickoffs! 🤣
