Fall Season Update​

Good morning,

Our thoughts and prayers continue for our membership in Western North Carolina. We appreciate the consideration and compassion being shown to them.

During the past week, the NCHSAA Board of Directors and staff were busy collecting information relative to the impact of Hurricane Helene on the Fall Sports Season and the Playoffs. Using this gathered information, decisions will be made by the Board members and announced on Wednesday morning. Thank you for your patience.

If you have any questions, please contact Brad Alford, Rhonda Dreibelbis or Karen DeHart.

Sincerely,

Que Tucker
Commissioner

Martin County has been talking a little. Is this the year they pull off the upset? I don’t think so, but what do my fellow Vikings think ?

Since no one else is posting on this one I had to get it started. If I’m a 3a power this is deff a game that scares me. The Vikes return it all from a Very good team last year and this game is at Tarboro which is a very hard place to win at. Can anyone even remember the last time the Vikes lost at Valhalla? Going with the Vikes by 3 in this one, just because I have grown into a fan since they have become the NW1A’s favorite foe. Whats everyone’s thoughts on this one?

Could be a good one at home this week, we are 6-1 with an OT loss by 1 point to James Kenan, Pender is 5-2. Hopefully the Pack can continue with the momentum they have gained thru the last few games and move forward with a win at home. Glad to be back at Legion Stadium for Homecoming, I believe.

To answer your question @Maiden Creek left on the lover's quarrel thread, yes I believe that schedule is spot on.

11/01 vs Asheville (time and site TBD)
11/08 vs Erwin (time and site TBD)

I’m guessing we completely dropped the McDowell game this year.

This morning I drove to Morganton which is about 30 min from Asheville. And 7 miles from Morganton to my exit 86 trees where just lying in rows on side of highway. It was like they were just pushed over in rows. Coming back toward Statesville I seem about 50 DOT Trucks and Sheriff suvs from many places as well as church vans with supplies and many bobcats and excavator and bulldozers and drains and huge pipes headed West! The people are doing there part I just wonder why military is not on the ground helping.

ND at Aboro
Ledford at OG
CD at MC

Now that two games have been played in the conference I imagine we have more of a feel for each teams strengths and weaknesses compared to each other. With that said let's talk about it....

ND travels to Aboro coming off a loss to rival Oak Grove. The Black Knights must get their offense rolling this week, as the defense played well but faces a different kind of opponent this week with speed. ND has faced 4A teams this year so Aboro likely doesn't bring any more to the table than those teams, but teams with speed have always and will always be NDs weakness... Aboro on the other hand is still trying to put it together for four quarters. Otherwise Aboro has shown tremendous improvement and Coach Brown has done a stellar job with that program relative to what they were when he got there. Knights can't afford to take em lightly...

Oak Grove will kill Ledford. The prissy panther students will chant "Daddy's money" at the Grove students til they're blue in the face but that won't help them in this curb stomping of a mismatch. Do your thing Grizz... Best is when they return fire with WHO'S YOUR DADDY?! Ledford does not have a single legit victory against OG. Their only victory came against sophomores and juniors in OGs first year of varsity... most games have been competitive but this won't be.

Central rolls down to where the hills have eyes 👀👀👀 but those hills are in trouble because Central is clicking now with that double wing attack after a tough nonconference schedule. MC has beaten only patsies and are still looking for their first win against a legit opponent. Central likely takes this comfortably unless MC offense can show out with their speed. Central offense will steamroll... Sparty by 3 TDs at least imo.

What say you fellas?

I’ll be in attendance for this one - First time seeing Crest or Catholic n first time at Sid Bryson stadium

What a good place to eat at ?

Anyway

This is a very intriguing matchup and I’m looking forward to see what Crest has to offer as we know Catholic will be more ball control n run it down your throat.

This will be a good test for teams n see where they are.
