"Big Joe" Caldwell passed away this afternoon in Georgia. He was Tuscola's head coach from 1971-1976, including the 1972 state 3A co-championship. Arrangements have not yet been announced. He had been in declining health. https://www.willisjamersonbraswell.com/obituaries/joe-caldwell

Need an assist here folks. Somebody posted an excellent breakdown of last year’s ADM numbers with it broken down from least to most. I seem to remember it was on the 2A boards and may have been one of you fine Maiden posters. Or perhaps btango.
I’ve searched and can’t find it. Can anybody help?

Providence Day gets a transfer from Greenbrier East high in West Virginia . Kid is already a record breaker at Rb

So the AD, Ronnie Beverly has left Lexington to become the facilities maintenance director (non-athletic) at WSSU.

Here is an interesting hire for LSHS. Given the carousel of coaches that have been marching through there lately, I have a feeling that they are looking at a similar carousel-type scenario with the AD position as well.

Thoughts?

Well guys it's here now, and tonight is our last Friday with no action. So make sure you take the wife out and treat her good, cause for the next 4/5 months we'll be at somebody's football stadium. Good luck to you all! LET'S GOOOO TIGERS 🐅

Should be an interesting year. A pretty tuff non conference schedule but Robbinsville returning one heck of a back field and QB was doing good until he got injured last year. Let’s try to break this down. First game is a tough one East Surry I hear this is East Surry down year if so it’s a 50/50 Run vs pass Robbinsville struggles against the pass I think this is gonna be a toss up. I like the game against Franklin should be a physical one but I think Robbinsville wins this one I pick Robbinsville to beat MH and Alleghany. The Rabun gap game should be killer they have been really good the past couple of years and it should be a great battle. I think Robbinsville has the edge to win the conference this year it will toss up against the big three again but I believe in my Knights I say Robbinsville hardest game will be East Surry, Rabun gap and Murphy and maybe swain

Regardless of Classification. What would be most beautiful stadium ( field included) you seen. With the new high schools that has changed over from grass to turf maybe added in the conversation. Hickory and Kings Mountain look very nice. AL Brown has added payment to the track and also other things done has made that very nice Stadium.
