what are your thoughts on this game

JM has had a couple battles in the last two weeks. NW and MP gave them all they wanted.

Who do you have in this one?

Why was the Robbinsville and TC Roberson game put on Max Preps and counted toward there record?

Looks just like mine for 3A. There will be a delay period to give time for coaches to ask about changes, before brackets are finalized.

Any idea who might be a good candidate for the next coach at EB football.

I assume Rocky Mount Prep and Hobgood Charter opted out - otherwise 1A looks good to me. There will be a delay period to give time for coaches to ask about changes, before brackets are finalized.

After reading the NCHSAA bylaws for seedings in the playoffs, I believe the NCHSAA needs clarifying language or improvements on three parts of the seeding process. The three points of clarification that I believe that the NCHSAA needs to make or fix are related to co- conference champions, undefeated top seeds, and seeds awarded to split conference playoff teams. (1) When a conference has a co-champion the co-champion that is not seeded as the conference champ for playoff purposes should always be seeded ahead of teams that it finished in front of in their conference and also teams that did not win or share their conference titles. (For example a co-conference champion should be seeded higher than a third place team in their conference and any other team that did not win or share a conference title irregardless of rpi).
(2) Undefeated conference champions should be seeded higher than conference champions that are not undefeated. For example in the 3A West teams like Hickory, Dudley, Robinson, should be seeded higher than one loss teams like South Point and Erwin.
(3) teams from split conferences should be seeded as conference champions ONLY if those teams win their overall conference championship. Those split conference who do not win their overall conference should be seeded by rpi after conference champions AND co-conference champions are seeded. We have too many teams that only has to beat one or two teams in their split conference that are awarded conference champion seedings.
Just three common sense solutions that I think needs to be clarified and have language addressing these circumstances in the bylaws.

I have a projected bracket based on how the RPI might move following tonight's games. It won't be exactly right because the RPI moves around so much, but it should be close. They have locked it for now, so I am taking a guess at RPI movement.

And of course, I have all my usual content available - scores, predictions, rankings, streaks, standings, etc. Check it out!

Determining NCHSAA Playoff Representatives:
1. Conference Standings
If a tie, the tie break decided in the following order:
2. Head-to-Head
3. How the tied team fared again the rest of the conference, starting with the number one team and moving down throughout the conference.
4. NCHSAA RPI standings.
5. Draw will be held by the tied teams for the seeds available.

Big Blue travels out to Wonderland to take on AL Brown this week. I can’t speak for all of MVL… but still have a bad taste in my mouth with how close those 2 games were last year.

I don’t think the score will be 2-0 this week 🤣

Is it coaches or AD’s?

Hey I know we have 3 more weeks and a lot can and will change.

1. Mount Airy vs 32. Polk
2. Mountain Heritage vs 31 Elkin
3. Murphy vs 30 North Stokes
4. Eastern Randolph vs 29 Avery
5. Corvian vs 28 Swain
6. Union Academy vs 27 South Stokes
7. North Rowan vs 26 Cherryville
8. Bessemer City vs 25 Highland Tech
9. Starmount vs 24 Draughn
10. Mitchell vs 23 Albemarle
11. Robbinsville vs 22 Thomasville
12. Bishop McGuinness vs 21 Andrews
13. East Wilkes vs 20 Christ the King
14. Alleghany vs 19 Mountain Island Charter
15. Cherokee vs 18 South Stanly
16. Hayesville vs 17 Carver



Any thoughts on these possible games?

I’m not saying it because my team but Starmount as a 9 seed is kind of tough. I’d say the same thing if another school has been top 5 or 6 in rankings all year. It’s penalizing a team for finishing 2nd and losing to the back-to-back state champs by 3. Why not use the RPI rankings for the whole bracket?

1. Naquedskwirrels - 7+bonus = 9
1. RD28327 - 7+bonus = 9
1. Ijones - 7+bonus = 9
4. Brandon Hodge -6+bonus + 8
4. Beamer24 - 6+bonus = 8
4. Bullzye - 6+bonus = 8
4. SPRaiderman - 6+bonus = 8
4. Scotswin - 6+bonus = 8
9. Hon Dines - 5+bonus = 7
9. Maiden Creek - 5+bonus = 7
9. KW23 - 5+bonus = 7
9. Ohio TarHeels - 5+bonus = 7
9. Eagles/Trojans13 - 5+bonus = 7
9. BigRaider32 - 5+bonus = 7
15. NRgrad04 - 5 = 5

First off… this game is next Friday and being played at Asheville HS correct (don’t always trust the info on Max Preps lol). Also, can you pay cash to enter? Or digital or both?

It’s on the list of considerations of games I may go see, and with us on a bye, would love to make the trip to support both of these programs.

What do we think of this one?

@Lincolnton … You don’t recognize me by this (poster name), but I forgot my login from my old account. I decided I would travel up to the neighboring county and watch the ER vs. Chase game. After all the talk and projections, I just knew I’d see Lincolnton Fans (Coaches) or diehard folks like you lurking. WELL I WAS partially right saw several black hats with the “L” on it. But i looked and looked for you and never saw you. I wanted to stand around like ole times in Cherryville, watching that big left hander throw for Post 100. He brings the same intensity and demeanor to the football program as he did when he pitched against Post 82. I hope we get to come to Lincolnton next week instead of going to Surry County.

What I really like is the confidence shown by some of the Lincolnton posters in here. Already saying “Reidsville here we come.” I’m suspecting those folks didn’t see the game last night ?.. I so hope we get to come and play the “Black and Gold”… I’ll not make any predictions about next week till I see our opponent. But I’d be lying if I didn’t admit already looking for a good place to eat in Reidsville Round 2.

I read a lot, don’t post much, I use to enjoy the banter but the East program is just now taking hold. Some of the ole baseball mentality rubbed off onto that big lug (coach) . I’m just watching the culture grow, still makes me as proud as I ever was when he pitched or played for that little school in Lawndale (which is pretty good) too. I was once the infamous “honest bulldog”, but moved on matured and now just “Ole Pop”. I’ll be loud and proud wherever we travel next week, but Lincolnton is a lot closer, and you know I like to ruffle the ones that already look past that small town Rutherford County team.

I’ll be in my overalls, with a big dip in, screaming run the ball. Stop the run, Come on Coach, open up that offense. Rutherford folks are just getting use to me. They use to look at me sideways, then they figured out who I was and now just ignore me… Take Care my Friend and maybe just maybe we might see each other next week….

Can the Tigers get their first win of the season?

2a games to watch…

ALL OF THEM!🫵

Haha, gotcha! I'm back!. I figured I would reintroduce myself like anyone cares. This is the first time I have opened this site in probably 4 years. Good to see some of the same ol fools on here like Crestrulz, mbdfan, RR2, Art, ahscougar1, etc! Hope all of you are doing well. I know what you're thinking, Erwin has a good season and BD comes out of his cave. Honestly I just got burnt out on football and life when covid happened. I watched from afar but didn't go to any games for a few years. It didn't help that my Warriors were having 500 seasons either. That being said I can honestly say I'm having fun watching football again. This Erwin team is the best since the Brown brothers. Great sophomore qb and solid team around him. Take away one fumble in the red zone against Heritage and they are undefeated. Will they win state, hell no! Can they pull off a upset, maybe! In all honesty, it just feels good to see something positive after seeing my hometown get ravaged a month ago. As someone that was on the front lines of recovery I have seen things I'll never get out of mind. Having a little joy on Friday nights is a welcome change!
