I think Page will give the current coach 5-7 years. I think the fans and boosters know at this point that it takes time. As long as the kids stay at Page and continue to grow and get better alongside the coaches.

Page was built in the 1950s, its mostly one large building, but the auditorium and g-wing were built in the early 60s. The main building was built comparing to today's standards poorly. A large portion of the school was built underground, and the infrastructure has taken a toll. I think they are actually doing renovations to the auditorium soon.

Alex was the first player of significance to go from 1A Mt Airy to 3A North. Several over the years came the other way.
His senior year, Channel 12 and High Point station did 3 minutes segments about him coming to North from Mt Airy and the affect it would have on the game and two teams. Andy Griffin and Barney were part of the story line.

North, again, won that game as they did the year before, and Alex was the leading rusher for the game, both teams.

A couple games later, North hosted East Surry. Score was 20 to 20 at the half. Alex only had two carries in the first half for total of 25 yards.
Neither Mt Airy nor Central had a game that night so the house was packed.
First play from line of scrimmage 3rd quarter, Alex went 82 yard for the score.
North was held and punted, North's first play from the 35 and Alex went 65 yards to the house.
North was held and punted, North's first play from the 20 and Alex went 78 yards and knocked out at the two.
Bernard Sawyers score and moved North ahead 3 TDs.

Game was over and Alex did not play another down that game. He did go on to a football scholarship as a running back. At that time, he would never have had the chance at smaller Mt Airy to be a running back. That is why I moved him.

To this day, the Mt Airy North Surry football games are always a very mixed bag for me.

And just for clarification, I have never said an unkind word about North Surry, and will not.

So between just two games....that's two handshake line recruits Crest's ex-HC did just last year. Can't imagine what kind of time he put in the other 363 days out of the year recruiting if he did it right there on the field. Guess that's just more imagination on my part. I have heard #5 is back on the field for Crest this year. I would say you upgraded from the recruited Gaffney kid. Sometimes it pays to keep those hometown boys around.

EB is as good as they will get so you might want go pull for another team sounds like!! QB threw 18 times after the qb change so if you seen them run 3 and 10 we were not watching the same game!! Not going to waste my time comment's on anything you say!! Have a great day.

I was there the whole game bud. And nah I’m good I’ll always support EB but as a fan it’s nerve racking to watch a team do the same crap over and over again. Do you enjoy watching that? If so you are boring too 😀. And I wasn’t just saying the other night I’m talking about last year and the year before running the ball up the middle on 3rd and 10 or hell even 4th down running the ball. They do some stupid crap I know I'm not the only EB fan that realizes this. There was people left and right of where I was sitting Friday bashing the coach for such stupid play calls.

We've talked about it ad nauseam on here, but the main jist of it is the standard is high at Page, the bar is very high. One of them wasn't a good fit, and the other was a great fit, but his staff was ambitious, if you will, and left Page and took other coaching jobs, so the lack of continuity ended up setting the program back. Also, after his son graduated, he decided to move on. The new coach is a great guy, we love his attitude and energy. As long as Coach Hann can keep the locker room together and show improvement, he might be the long term guy you're referring to. But, I agree.. it's a good job and the tradition, support, and resources are there. The school building itself is to be (2022 GC School bond) rebuilt sometime in the short term (2-4 years, my estimation), its sorely needed, it was bad 3 years ago, now its even worse.

LOL! I’ll suffer through that game also. I sat on the Statesville side. I couldn’t bring myself to pull for LN.

It was a tough watch. It could be a long season for my dawgs.

Kids should not be allowed to attend this game without their parents signing a waiver. WRH remembers last year well and are going to take it out on this skeleton of a Clinton team. Clinton’s coach is better than the record will indicate.

My friend that was there last week said it could’ve been worse. NS-Jax took their foot off the gas. Things could get rough at WRH this Friday.

I picked brown to lose last week n almost did but I think Brown is little better then NWC but will see should be a good one tho

Prayers sent to all affected and Prayers to the families who have deal with this tragedy.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

NWC coming off being upset by WC, so it will be interesting to see how they respond. ALB with a gift from the gods, but got the win. Will be a very interesting game Friday.

If the SW, WC game is as good as last year's, it will definitely be worth a ride to Vanceboro.

I hope we can live up to our side of it this year. We have to win our games to make that game count for something.
