    Cleveland County

    it sounds like you're talking about corner play. I understand what you're saying. I think we saw more of that last year. But, the offenses that are the norm now have just started happening around here in the last 6-7 years so if you look around and see the scores and pass yards given up it isn't...

    Cleveland County

    You must have missed the '2-23 pass coverage. It isn't about pass coverage issues....it is about what you can do and are willing to do upfront. Sp had a difference maker upfront for four years plus players on the back end during that time and they played good coverage. You can cover four...

    SPs group of talent is about way more than any one player.

    Greg Lloyd named new coach at Crest

    I love your candor. With that said... no matter what did or didn't happen and how it played out- ya'll just "got rid" of Sosebee before he could leave ya'll at the alter. He was never a long term plan as evidenced by his track record. If he goes where many suspect he will end up, he would've...

    Teams to watch in 3a.

    Well....with SP, Crest, KM as your top three....it ain't too bad. That is 3 out of 8 teams that are capable of making a run as deep as you can go in the playoffs. Not many conferences out there like that. I can only imagine being these other teams at the beginning of the season and thinking...

    Teams to watch in 3a.

    No argument about '16. I think those 2 teams were similar ('16 and '17) and I see them in similar lights even though one won a state champ. As everyone knows - It ain't always the best team that wins a state championship. An extremely tough non conf. schedule in 16 balanced out with a nice...

    Teams to watch in 3a.

    When and how are they gonna start coming around? You have to about be a d#mn millionaire to live within the city limits unfortunately. That eliminates a lot of tough kids that we used to have an abundance of hanging around. SP doesn't get transfers from other places for BS reasons either. I...

    Teams to watch in 3a.

    or a product a perennial weak conference. I'm not saying SP is in that arena at all - many around the state are.

    Teams to watch in 3a.

    What does that have to do with anything when you consider that every year's competition ain't the same, hype exists every year and certain teams have it more than others, sometimes teams ride the coattails of previous and different teams' success, etc. etc. Just because you may consider that...

    Teams to watch in 3a.

    It absolutely was not. It wasn't a top 20 team in SP history. The 2015 and 2016 kids were gone.

    Teams to watch in 3a.

    Dudley, not too unlike Shelby, pulls from a much greater distance than just their normal parameters so this does not apply. Yall both have long played by different rules...rules that others are now adopting more widespread. You love to bring up the four 2a years when we had a brand new head...

    Sounds like some future deflection going on. Wonder how many Gaston County kids will be joining the KM program in the next 3-4 months????

    Cleveland County

    Right. Heard about those two. 2 guys from ST. Cramer...obviously not recruited players to come to Belmont.

    Cleveland County

    SP doesn't do that kind of thing. Who in the world even looks like a recruited (P5) player at SP the last 20-30 years? You can count them on one hand and they all lived in Belmont their whole lives.

    Who is this coming to SP? Have not heard a thing.

    Charter schools

    Right...You will never convince this guy because it goes against what he wants. I'm only familiar with Cleveland County but I'm sure there are many more counties like them....they want to (and have) made up their own rules in order to recruit/gang up in sports. It's as transparent as you can...

    Reclassification in SC and NC

    Yeah I’m talking about the situation where a player goes from public to private or vice versa…even after entering 9th grade….and reclassifying. As I understand and can see from rosters those type reclasses have definitely happened. I have never seen a 16 graduate reclass situation….only the 19...

    Reclassification in SC and NC

    Interesting. I agree with this. I wish the same could be done for public schools recruiting and doing the same things some of these privates are doing. I think they should be held to the same standard. Though it would be hard to logistically track down....any same state player that re-classes...

    Kings Mountain Football Alums Doing Big Things As True Freshmen

    You keep referencing the 50s... and I have no idea why. SP was formed in the late 60s, so they have only been beating KMs arse since then. Cheating is cheating by the way no matter how you rationalize it. Also...couldn't you keep your doors unlocked in the 50s? That's what all the old timers...

    Hickory wins 3A Title

    The great SP defense of '22 had trouble with this offense LAST year but most with the QB. It looked to me like they were the hardest offense to stop during that playoff run...and the same Hickory kids are a year older now. I think many suspected they would be extremely good on offense this year.
