Im here at George Blanton Memorial Stadium. I am impressed with Shelby. Man I a new Shelby supporter. Love seeing this teamn play. #14,6,5,22,2 are special. Keep it up. Definitely a pleasant experience
Different styles - MC full of athletes but sloppy with penalties vs. old school FV rush attack without a Twitter presence. MC very lucky to win the first game.
Since Crest went 3AA...Rams can lie to themselves after taking the 3A title next month that it would have been no different were Crest the opponent. Bwaahahahaha. Hope you thanked Jesus and gave the community forty hours for that gift.
You've got a solid program Havelock HS but you couldn't take Crest on your best day and I don't even like them. You dodged a 16 inch projectile from USS Iowa and you know it. Enjoy your hollow championship.
I'm very pleased to see 4 different teams in the 3rd round. It seems it has always been the same three or four every year in the West. It is the same teams in the East this year, but hopefully East Wilkes, East Surry, Mitchell or Walkertown can bring home a State Championship. Has any of these teams ever won a State Championship before?? I know Walkertown hasn't, not sure on the other three/
Bears go up 7-0 and that was about it....Mitchell goes on a 28-0 run and ends Bears season....Mitchel QB was difference....pass D never made it up the Mtn for Bears....Malik Frost puts up 121 yards and 2 scores for Bears O....tough ending for 7 Bear seniors...Thanks!!......young Bears will be back...
Just wanted to say congratulations to these schools and their fan bases. Pretty awesome that three out of the four teams left in the west are all within a 30 minute drive of each other. The foothills has some good football and everyone has been trying to tell people that this season and no one wanted to hear it. Everyone within the area should be in Pilot Mountain or Ronda on Friday night cheering these schools on. Heading into this Friday there is a 50/50 chance that the western finals will be held in the foothills again this year. Good luck to these three teams and way to represent our area!!!
Just something fun and random to talk about just to kill time. Edgecombe County is batting 1.000 with all three teams still playing during turkey season. North Edgecombe, 1A (7-5), Tarboro, 1AA (12-1), and SW Edgecombe, 2AA (12-1), are all playing in the third round, with two hosting. Duplin County has three of four in, with two being serious contenders. Would love to hear about other football hotbeds.
For those who know me know I am obviously a Catholic fan. Many don't know I actually graduated in 2014. Graduating then gave me a unique chance to see Jim Oddo coach his final four years at Catholic. This picture was taken last night at halftime of the 71st/CC game. Yes that is actually me lol
Coach Oddo is one person I can say has had a profound impact on me as a person. He is the personification of class, and an example of what it means to win in every aspect of life. I am very blessed to not only call him a hero and mentor, but also a friend. As he always famously says "HAVE SOME PRIDE....". We'll I definitely have pride in this picture which will be framed and hung above my desk.
I hope all of you get to meet him at some point, you will not be same once you do.
GO COUGARS!
71st is very similar to vance in terms of talent and unpredictability. The TB is very good. He is small but extremely quick and can read blocks and make d1 cuts. The qb is a freshman. He is very talented but the catholic d will be his biggest challenge to date. Defensively, the DE #1 is a big time player along with the safety #7. They will look to crowd the box and take their chances with Catholic passing the ball. Coach McLaurin is a very good coach and will have his kids ready just not sure they will be able to move the ball.
Looks like East Lincoln will have their hands full with the offense of Wilkes Central, local newspaper has him avg. 11 yards a carry and scoring every 6.5 run attempts, anybody got anything on this team? Good luck to all in still playing, I think to many times people take this time of year for granted.
I see so many post about crest vs ac in two weeks and if it happens it should be a classic but crest has to handle cuthbertson and ac has to beat weddington. Not being a homer but i feel as if crest has enough athletes on defense to slow down their offense and shouldnt have a problem moving the ball and putting up enough points to get the win, if we dont look past them.Does anyone on here feel like weddington could knock off ac? I dont know much about them at all.

APB out on Slasher Killer . Missing for several weeks now. If seen report to NCPrep and keep you distance for he may be wielding a knife or machete .. LOL Joking but where are you Slasher you are missed ?
First the win. That was about as gutsy of a win as I can remember from ND in such a long time. Scotland was a extremely good team who played us so tough. Defense was a pretty rough in the first half for the Knights, but they made some awesome plays in the 4th quarter. They forced a big stop (followed by the fumble) and then again on 4th down.
Offense played a great game, how clutch was that last touchdown? wow! I couldn't contain my excitement. They just wanted it so bad all of the boys.
And once again, our coaching made a huge difference to help us. That onside kick was unreal!
Sorry, still excited ND fans. What a season. Huge upset over 2 seed and CPC title! What else does this year have in store for us?
Also, read the recent DCPREPS article and it's apparently official, ND will be a flat 2A in two years. Guess we can say goodbye to our Davie and West Forsyth rivalries :/
