Another fantastic season of high school football is upon us and in keeping with a years long tradition, here they are, my take on week 1 of the season in games involving teams from Forsyth County. My disclaimer remains the same, as my predictions are not meant to be a "slam" on any team or school. It's all in good fun, and as always, I never pick against my team.

Atkins at Christ School (Saturday)
The Camels will hit the road to Asheville for a Saturday date with Christ School. Although I think the Camels will be improved, I just don't think they can take this road win. If they do, it will be a head-turner.

Christ School 28, Atkins 12

Community School of Davidson at Bishop McGuinness
CSD has quietly built a strong program and look for them to continue their success. Bishop will just not have enough firepower to contend with the Spartans.

CSD 44, Bishop McGuinness 14

Carver at Dudley
On of the Triad's longest and most traditional rivalries kicks off the season. Both teams have had their successes, and 2016 will be no different. Look for Dudley to take the win.

Dudley 27, Carver 21

Mt. Tabor at East Forsyth
A heavyweight battle between two schools that have ruled the Forsyth County roost over the most recent years. A proud Mt. Tabor program looks to bounce back from a disappointing 2015 while East Forsyth simply reloads after falling just short of a 4AA Championship bid last season. East Forsyth has all the tools for another deep run in the playoffs, and they start with a convincing and eye-popping win.

East Forsyth 56, Mt. Tabor 14

North Forsyth at Glenn
The Vikings will travel to Glenn looking to improve on a dismal 2015 program. North Forsyth will look to establish the run, while Glenn is expected to air it out. Should be a fun one off of Union Cross.

North Forsyth 28, Glenn 21

Parkland at Northeast Guilford
The Mustangs made strides in 2015 and I think are in good hands with Coach Samek at the helm. Don't be surprised if Parkland comes out on top.

Parkland 21, Northeast Guilford 14

SW Guilford at R.J. Reynolds
RJR showed signs last season that they are improving. I'm not quite sure if they have what it takes to get a win over SW Guilford.

SW Guilford 30, RJR 18

South Iredell at Reagan
Not that long ago, both of these programs were downtrodden and neither were considered a serious threat. South Iredell turned the corner and have put together a few great seasons. Reagan has also steadily built itself into an offensive juggernaut that can light up a scoreboard at a frenzied pace. I think Reagan will take this one, as they pour it on in their home debut.

Reagan 44, South Iredell 21

Rockingham County at Walkertown
Walkertown has had decent success in its short history. I think they will do well this season as well, opening with a nice win.

Walkertown 35, Rockingham County 20

A.C. Reynolds at West Forsyth
These two teams have scheduled a pretty good series over the past few years. West Forsyth lost some key parts of their offense last season, but return a pretty solid defense. The question for the Titans to solve will be the experienced offense that the Rockets will brings.

A.C. Reynolds 24, West Forsyth 17

It's a great rivalry , The Tigers and the Comets.......The Tigers have some key spots filled and the team speed is better. Overall should be a great year. As for the Comets , I do not know. I do know they lost that really good Defensive end and some Burners in the backfield and wide outs.....but , I suspect they cupboard is not bare........anyone have any info on Asheboro?

Hi there folks long time no see. I hope everyone's doing well it's been a long and hot summer so I'm glad the main event is finally here. I'm glad to say this lovely game will be back again for it's 5th season (so hard to believe that but it's true,) and I have some new features in store for you folks.

I can't say what it is yet but I will let it out by Tuesday or Wednesday. it's nothing to affect the game (I promise,) I just think it will be fun.

Anyways let's get to it. Same basic set up and points so don't worry there:

I'm not sure if NFVikings who usually does Our predictions is still on the forum; but I've been looking for him to post week 1 predictions;

Traveling to RR Friday. Never been there before. Anything important we should know about the area and stadium? Thanks guys

Hi fellows, hope everybody has had a blessed summer and life is great for you. It's thankfully that time for football again! So I just wanted to create some small discussion about North.

First, is this for sure the last year for Midway? Will the school be smaller next year? It breaks my heart that this happening but it is what it is.

We got a pretty exciting schedule I think, though the three straight road games is rough. Still, we will get the Raiders at home finally and I think West also, so that will be important. We are getting some Charlotte action also, so that will really help the boys.

I also wanna say something about Holcomb, because his team could be so different next year. Probably the most significant thing that he has done to make ND great again is create a winning and proud culture. When I came through, while the guys on the team were proud of being black knights, there were a lot of guys who played and quit next year or didn't play at all after middle school that we really needed to be successful. They didn't care or have much pride in the football team. Well now there are roughly 120 kids on the team this year, just unbelievable. A big part of that is because coach has created a winning environment that people just naturally wanna be a part of. This has lead to great success and coach has been a tremendous part of this. If you know Mark, he's very humble but works very hard and knows his stuff and the kids just love him. They buy what he's selling because what he sells is sincerity.

Finally I just wanna wish all the seniors the best year of their lives. Take the time and enjoy it boys. It's a real treasure to be able to go out there and put the pads on. If you only get in on practice, or your the starting QB, savor every second of it, because for most of you, after this season it's gone forever. I hope you boys have an awesome season to carry with you forever. Kicked off, I know this is a big year for you folks.

Go knights.

What time does the Crest - Sp game start ?

Does anyone know if we played in any preseason jamboree's? I know we have played at home against Latin and a couple of other teams the last few years. Any updates would be appreciated.

What time does the Crest - Sp game start ?

Week one kicks off this week so let's get this thing started. I've seen everyone scrimmage this year except Swain. There are so many variables with scrimmages, kids being held out, playing out of position or teams playing vanilla so they don't show too much. Here's my picks, curious to what everyone else thinks.

1 Murphy
2 Robbinsville
3 Swain
4 Cherokee
5 Hayesville
6 Rosman
7 Andrews
I could very easily see the Braves finishing third.

Haven't seen anything posted about one so I thought I would ask if anyone is considering doing one or what?

For those of you who haven't seen it.

In last years opening game, we lost to the Cougars 43 to 42, and I must say that I felt like we were much, much better than South Brunswick. I felt that with turnovers and a mistake here or there, we allowed South Brunswick to beat us. I do not see the same happening this year even though we did lose Fred Evans, Johnny McFadden, and a few other good athletes. What are your thoughts on this game? Coach Pierce, like Dove at South Columbus, has been wonderful for our kids and community so far. Expecting a much improved year out of my Vikings.

Who ya got? I like the Bears chances. Both offense and defense looked good in scrimmage and NB lost a lot from last year.
