East Surry @ Mount Airy

As to the game, with East having handed Robbinsville a very long ride home, I hope their fans come out in droves Wally Shelton Stadium so Mt Airy can have the kind of gate Mt Airy helped North Surry to have last night. It was not 5000, I am sure, but it was a very good gate.

If the Bears clean up their mental mistakes, improve the passing/route running/catching the ball, and work out the kinks on the offensive and defensive lines, East will not enjoy the short ride home. However,,,,, hope springs eternal for Cardinals.

Davie Co at Mooresville Week 1

Mooresville was super impressive last night, beyond what I think anyone was thinking. Could be a very special year. Brody and his weapons out on a show but that defense was literally lights out.

The only concern that I see is, Davie was just bad. So was it a true test?

Davie has been limping around with kids who would play well and pull things out over the last few yeara. This year they have shown zero development and the defense, who was supposed to be the better of the two, was atrocious. If you looked out there tonight there was ZERO aspect that Davie won or even look competitive in. It’s sad because Davie and its fans have become accustomed and ok with mediocrity.

Page football

It's time for Dudley to maybe look for another week 1 game in the future. The same way they dropped Carver when they fell off, it may be time to do the same for Page. Looking at Dudleys schedule, they don't have a single challenge at all this year. They need to challenge themselves. I understand their conference is their conference, but something has to give. Grimsley is right there!

I’m sure they won’t at next season

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.

HSOT stopped?

Sadly a different time than what it use to be when I was growing up. There is lot of good people out in the world. But you few bad apples that ruins everything. Times is not what it use to be
Fo sure. The few bad apples pretty much represent the rest of them. It just doesn't look good at all. Just hope those causing the drama are corrected in place by the mature audience. Was West Cabarrus the only drama you've ever seen in person?

Thoughts and Scores to note

The first half offense was tough to watch. You could definitely tell it was the first game with new coaches. Lots of penalties, dropped passes. Second half was better. Defense was great. Special teams was great as well. I think held Trinity to 73 yards on the night. This team and coaching is better than last year
I think Trinity only had 2 first downs before garbage time. The game seemed more lopsided than 43-0

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 along will make things appear better as the season moves along.
Brevard has a 7v7 and flag football youth program that I've seen at various events throughout the last 4 years. Brevard has alot of ATHLETES. They are not your typical mountain team

Biggest surprises of the night for 8/23

I remember when Luke a former Pisgah player was announced as coach at Brevard and some Pisgah fans were saying they had never heard of him.They have heard of him now ..As for my Bears they will get better. I cannot remember when both Hayood county teams never scored one point on the same Friday.

What do you mean. That's how it should be. The football coach if he's any good should be the athletic director. It's the only sport that makes money in high school. Except for maybe the basketball team at some 3A and 4A schools. It generates all the revenue. It should make the decisions. That's our problem in high school football. Everybody else wants to get a piece of the pie. You can bet your ass when Elkin was winning state championships. They got whatever they wanted. That's how it should be generates the most interest generates the most income etc etc. It's not hindering anything. That's a very short-sided statement. And I don't really know what it has to do with him being a football coach. Elkins biggest problem right now is is they have a bunch of wusses. No weight room work. The only thing he didn't do a good job of was getting rid of those coaches. That were there. Most of them are terrible. But they've been there a long time so I guess you can't fire them. Which is the problem. That's cool we used to win on toughness alone. And everyone wanted to come there. it's a joke athletically. Soccer taking center stage. The best coach in that school is the volleyball coach. He's the meanest SOB they got. He breeds toughness. Great observation on the game. Although North Wilkes does have a pretty damn good football coach. I believe he won a state championship when he was in Greenville. Athletic director has nothing to do with it. Maybe they're thinking is let's build this program back athletically. Let's start at the bottom. Let's make people tough.

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.
