Sooner or later this thread would be started. I figured I would be the one to put my two cents in, and then let it go from there.

I believe this will be the 95th game between the two schools. That speaks for itself. How many schools have played each other that many times in this state. Shelby holds a decisive advantage in the series (69-18-7)....I know I will be corrected if I'm wrong. Some will have you believe that all those 69 wins were 49-0 wins....not so. There have been many close games through the years where KM came up short. That's what makes this game special. Shelby is the measuring stick, especially in this County, and when you get the win against them, it's a special year. I don't think there's any question that KM has to play closer to perfect than Shelby does, and that's usually the case in these games.

No offense to Burns or Crest, bottom line....Most years, not always, but most years 4th place in Cleveland County is still as good or better than 2nd or 3rd in other conferences.

Expecting a huge crowd Friday night. The weather will be perfect.

I watched some of the East vs Burns game tonight and I was very impressed with East.They seem to have it going now and should be a good game at Shelby Friday night.

Havelock vs White Oak

To avoid wet ground the South Point/Hunter Huss game will be moved to Phoenix, Arizona. This was the closest dry venue.
Better make your travel arrangements with Seadog.

What do you about this game, Davie seems to be improving?

Game will be in Cherokee starting at 7:30.according to the Asheville_ Citizen.

The game has been moved to Monday @ 6:00pm....

Bulldogs had no answer for Brandon Clark, 207 yards for FIVE touchdowns. And we had several injuries. We're going to be thin going in to the East Rutherford game. The thing is, the offense showed up tonight, but our defense let us down. We were hurt by injuries and a fumbled interception early in the second half when we led 19-16. Momentum swung back to the Cavaliers for good after that fumbled interception, even after we cut it to 30-27. Tom Brown went for 2 every single time and got it almost every time. I can't blame him for that, Matt Beam did that a lot when he was here. Bulldogs will be decimated for East Rutherford and it doesn't help they will have had 2 weeks off and we will have had 3 days off but I know the players we will have will give it 110%. Next man up!

This is the craziest fight I have seen in NC in a good while. Hope the kid that's hurt is fine; the news channel from that area said he got body-slammed. Yikes.

Was anyone there to see it?

Who have you seen in 1A that impresses you and you could see playing at the next level?

Mount Airy may wait till 2PM Friday to decide . Click link below for WXII News

I am going to forgo the regular season standings here. Life has gotten in the way the last little bit of time and has put me behind and I do regret that. I will keep the game running until the last week of the regular season as way for you all to pick and have fun with it.

I will however bring the points back for the playoffs and we will crown one singular champ then. We will do the area teams and if none is left by the end we will do what playoff games are around. Point scale will be the same. Winner will get sole bragging credit.

Erwin at Enka
North Buncombe at McDowell
Asheville at Reynolds

Erwin 62 Enka 21....I remember last year when Reynolds started their season playing a schedule similar to what Erwin has this year. When they got to the MAC's bottom teams they punished them. I look for Erwin to do the same and take out some serious frustration.

NB 35 McDowell 28..The Hawks showed some life last week but it was vs hapless Enka. I think they will have enough to beat the Titans.

Reynolds 35 Asheville 28....biggest game of this year in the mountains. I have not seen Asheville play but they seem to be pretty darn good. As for Reynolds I know they are for real. You want to beat the Rockets, it's simple. Stop Rico...lol..Good luck.
