I don’t know how much it will stay on the roads though. We haven’t had any cold weather up here yet. The ground isn’t that cold yet.

Hibriten for the mountain it sits at the foot of.

Dogs have to protect the ball and limit the dumb penalties. If they do this I like their chances. People need to remember last season when a Hertford County Bears team came into the pound and walked away with a win in the playoffs. Wrh is vulnerable to taking an L at home. I like the Dogs to win but they can’t turn the ball over like they did last week. Survive and advance. Many of the Dog faithful had given up hope a few weeks back, now they’ve been blessed with new life thanks to the coaching of Motsinger and company. Same can be said for East Duplin.

The common denominator. Yet they can't figure it out.

My son’s dream was always to have a snow game. He got a mud game in high school

Come on to the granite city Black Friday and watch a real football game, you will not see that on the mountain.

If Friday's game is a "football game" then Mayberry is in trouble.

I believe Burns was named after a board member or educator.

Of course Kings Mountain is named after the battle of Kings Mountain.

I decided to just run with this and here's what I've got so far. Again, I wanted to avoid split conferences as much as possible. I also didn't do the entire west because once you get east of Charlotte, I'm a lot fuzzier on where those schools are. There are probably also some charter schools that will have to be added in here or there. I also didn't mess with the 7A schools except McDowell, let someone from Charlotte or Greensboro figure those out.

Edit-added Lake Norman Charter into SW 4A/3A
Edited again to reconfigure Foothills 3A/2A and added smaller conferences with charters. I think I'm done now.

Good luck to the Chargers this upcoming Friday. Represent Cleveland County and the Big South Conference. I also want you guys to win just so I can hear the trash talk from your fanbase. I have a feeling it will definitely be entertaining on that FB page next week if yall win Friday.

The town of Shelby and school were named after Isaac Shelby, a Revolutionary War hero that fought in the Battle of Kings Mountain.

Then if they could get to the game then issue could be traveling back home at night. Makes it a dangerous situation either way.

And we are off the rails again. It was fun while it lasted with some good info, so thanks for that.

Found an interesting one

Crest stands for Cleveland Rural Education Stands Together

Click to expand...

There was also a Crest high in Boiling Springs before the new Crest high was built. I believe they were the Crest Falcons. Once consolidation happened you had Cleveland Rural Education Stands Together and they were the Chargers.

Saw this article on East Rutherford's first round win:

Thomasville (the city and the school system) was named for John Thomas, who developed the town around the North Carolina railroad that he helped have built.

Score predictions?

Oregon has the money to move his family out west, I do not think being homesick will be a factor. I honestly thought Tennessee would be his choice because of the strengths of BB and FB teams.

He would have a hard time playing basketball at TN. Rick Barnes isn’t going to wait around on football season to be over. Oregon is the easiest place to play both.

Murphy is named for Archibald Murphey, who was a state legislator who was an early proponent of public schools. The fact that the town spelled his name wrong is pretty ironic.

Obviously the state had a disdain for public schools then as they begrudgingly named the furthrest western town after the man and then spelled it wrong.
