Not sure what the outcome will be in 2023 1A NCHSAA 🏈. Alot of good teams in 1A especially the West. It's early but looks to be a collision course for Robbinsville and MA. But other good teams in hunt like Thomasville,Draughn,Murphy, Swain, Flatlanders to name a few. Good luck to all and stay healthy. Much respect to all team mentioned. Any given night anyone can be beat and Bears fans know this from experience.

First even meeting between these two programs. I’m looking forward to it.

Reagan comes in off a bit of a surprise loss (to me anyway) 42-27 to Marvin Ridge. Mooresville comes in off of a convincing win, that got much less convincing in the final 5 minutes 31-24 lol.

I have NO idea what to expect out of Reagan. I know they have some D1 guys all over that lineup on both sides of the ball. Looked like Marvin Ridge was able to get the ground game going, I would expect us to try to establish the run early and often… it is historically what we do. The difference is this year we can actually make plays vertically down the field too. Something we couldn’t do last year. I would expect this game to be extremely competitive… a one score type of game either way.

Always a good environment at The Popp!

Next week do not pick Hayesville over North Georgia. It will not happen.

Any early predictions, news or anything on how everyone is looking heading into the summer?

4A Weddington 3-0
4A Porter Ridge 3-0
4A Marvin Ridge 3-0
4A Sun Valley 3-0
4A Cuthbertson 3-0
3A Parkwood 1-2
3A Piedmont 0-3
2A Forest Hills 3-0
2A Monroe 2-1
1A Union Academy 1-2
NCISAA Metrolina Christian 3-0

Not too bad of a start for the county this year. Big matchups ahead with all the 4A schools making up one conference and going head to head, then the showdown in three weeks between Forest Hills and Monroe for the Rocky River 3A/2A.

These 5 CPC former Players all made the 53 man roster:
KJ Henry= West Forsyth= Clemson= Washington Commanders
JaQuan McMillian= West Forsyth= ECU= Denver Broncos
Divine Diablo= Mt Tabor=Va Tech= Las Vegas Raiders
Shy Tuttle= North Davidson= Tennessee= Carolina Panthers
Blake Whiteheart= Mt Tabor= Wake Forest= Arizona Cardinals

Do they play ST PAULS this week?

Now I don't see one person spamming his own posts.

Jordan-Matthews @ Chatham Central, CC, 12-8
Cummings @ Bartlett Yancey, C, 49-7
Graham @ Seaforth, S, 14-13
SE Alamance @ Northwood, N, 28-14
North Moore, BYE

Does all the teams have open dates next Friday? Can't find any teams games. Strange all teams have bye weeks the same week???
Am I missing something?

East Forsyth has played outstanding in its first two games but now they get tested. AC Reynolds has a lot of the same players as last year and could easily be 2-0. I'm not sure if AC Reynolds D-1 recruit star RB Max Guest is playing but they could sure use him. I don't think that loss to West Forsyth was a bad loss, they had a lot of turnovers against a team who's much better than people think....but they have a nice QB and WR's with a stout defense. Could be a close game if Mr. Guest plays...

East has had a lot of dropped passes in both games and I don't see that game breaker like Que'Sean Brown(Duke) was last year. I'm not seeing the WR speedster on the edges(catching the ball is a point of emphasis this week).

Good News: East 3 headed RB's are better than last year. East defense is just as good as last year and very athletic. Their O-line and D-line are really good and they are more physical than last year. Solid at every position. QB is probably better than last year. No weakness

AC Reynolds @ East Forsyth

The gauntlet continues for Reynolds. East Forsyth will be the best team played to date by a good margin led by UNC commit Bryce Baker.

East Forsyth 35
Reynolds 14

Lake Norman @ Asheville

Interesting game. Asheville should look better here than last week against powerhouse Providence. Lake Norman doesn't score much but also plays good defense.

Lake Norman 20
Asheville 13

Enka @ Rosman

Rosman may keep this one close for a while. Enka got thoroughly dismantled by Pisgah.

Enka 35
Rosman 20


Brevard @ Erwin

Tough loss last week for the Warriors. Brevard is 0-2 but has played 2 good teams. This will be a close game, edge to the home team.

Erwin 28
Brevard 21

Tuscola @ McDowell

Tough season for the Titans. Tuscola should win pretty easily.

Tuscola 34
McDowell 14

Madison @ North Buncombe

North Buncombe is really about to go 3-0 after losing 18 in a row.

North Buncombe 34
Madison 13

TC Roberson @ Smoky Mtn

TC played Watauga very tough in week 1 and destroyed East Rutherford. I think they can finish 2nd this year in the MAC with Asheville seemingly down.

Roberson 35
Smoky Mtn 20

Should be a good game of intetest to watch. Any thoughts or predictions.

Bandys (2-0, 0-0) bye
Bunker Hill (2-0, 0-0) bye
East Burke (2-0, 0-0) at Draughn (1-1)

The 1-2 Blackhawks welcomes the 2-0 Warriors of West Iredell to town

West Wilkes lost 40-0 to Ashe Co - West Iredell is coming off their bye

Give me a WW 14 West Iredell 28

Should be a good game in Lawndale this week. If Kings Mountain plays like we did this past Friday it might be a long night for us.
Any thoughts on the game this week?

Any thoughts with this game. West Iredell is 2-0 and appear to have better team than recent years. What does West Wilkes have.

Odd, cool matchup here. Both have new coaches. Both undefeated so far. I want to feel good about PG right now but their opponents haven't exactly been formidable so far.

One other thing......If you're a BM fan, you might want to come to Climax a little early. Visitor's seating is very limited.
