When I look at Clinton's schedule I just don't see a whole lot of competition except for Onslow?

Exactly and SWO was overrated w/ their suspect offense and weak defense against the run. I can't believe some of these lopsided predictions that I am seeing in Clinton's favor, 28-7, 34-14, and them winning by 17 points. I saw poor TGT in another thread asking Clinton posters about their line, hoping that they have the line to play against our stout defense in which he saw first hand. We have faced a few good runningbacks this season, one being a bonafide D1 prospect in Crest's Tre Harbinson who was bottled up for 3.5 quarters versus us. Like I have been saying, ain't no one dimensional running team beating us. Ask TGT, Rambbq, and Reidsville.

I mean beside Crest South Point and the playoff game against Reidsville who has Shelby played i dont see alot of WORLD BEATERS.......stop tryn to Knock Clinton's schedule just because we play in a split conference with 1A teams.....Wallace will more than likely win the 1A title Friday night by atleast 14 and we whipped them 35-7 on their home field....ready for Clinton to shut some mouths and open some eyes we are 13-1 for a reason

We shall see! You may beat us, but that schedule is weak anyway you slice it!


State champs 86,87,98,2005,2006,2013, 201 ?

Your right LA but as in the Mt Pleasant game as soon as they started passing the game changed.We have to be ready for anything.

 

[Darkhorse#34]

Whatever we heard it all before all season long yet here we are......win or lose Saturday we belong no need to harp on strength of schedule this is not college football and the BCS....and we can pass and we have passed the ball pretty well this postseason which is strange for Bob Lewis...Shelby wants to put 9 in the box WATCH OUT....Receivers /RBs and TEs run very good routes and know how to get open...ask Holmes if Clinton can pass the ball

 

[Darkhorse#34]

oh man i guess we should just stay home saturday seems Shelby is just too strong for us poor Clinton folk......i believe we have heard this same song since the 2nd round...and yet all this team does is win

 

[shelbyfanforever]

One thing I remember so well about 1997 is our boys on the other side of the field with no fans behind them because we were forced to sit behind the Clinton team on same side. Just didn't feel right so this time we gonna be behind them and make some noise. Cant wait till Saturday gonna be a great game

A team that that barely beat Trinity said that to Clinton in the second round,that is crazy.

 

[crest91]

Bring back that repeat ring to Cleveland county Lions!!!

 

[Horse Fly]

Obviously there are some folks in the west who are ignorant about eastern football. There are a lot of things that can be talked about but to play down Clinton's strength of schedule is foolishness. Nothing at all wrong with the schedule. Teams are up and down from year to year but Clinton's schedule was pretty strong this year.

 

[aftermath]

I hope and believe the DARK HORSES will bring it back east..This has to be the best state championship game period! Good luck from the WRH Bulldogs and represent our conference-hopefully we can bring 2 championships to the East.

I know WIZ is somewhere smiling!

 

[rambbq]

Did I read somewhere that Clinton is having their Christmas parade Sat??? Seriously?? What is wrong with you people?? lol...Who is the loony in charge of that SNAFU?? Seriously...??? Is the Clinton band staying home?? lol...Seriously??

 

[Wizard of the East]

uh?

Next season you need to travel down east sometime. Get out of those hills!

 

[Wizard of the East]

competition, Wallace-Rose Hill playing Saturday

 

[Wizard of the East]

Lion Attack[/URL], keep on thinking the DarkHorses are one dimensional. I figure that's you thinking that, I doubt seriously your team feels that way but if soo....

 

[Wizard of the East]

rambbq, Christmas parade? no big deal

bonafide? now that's what we need some bonafide

I go to Swansboro and Jacksonville a lot.I love the area down there.Clinton is one of the all time 2A powers and they will get no disrespect from any Shelby fan with knowledge of high school football.

 

[Inyourdome24-7]

LOL at Shelby fan thinking Clinton plays a weak schedule. Open your eyes to football outside of Shelby son.

It is your fault for talking about their schedule when you know except for Crest and Draughn we didn't play anybody during the regular season.

 

[guttancSWO36]

Clinton is far from 1 dimensional...they pass when available and I think their coach knows to open up something for Skinner & Howard he hass to toss it a lil bit.... I'm telling you guys watch #10 Saturday he's a key piece in this run to states...I'm pulling for Clinton although I know they have to stop the pass, I think they'll win and bring it back EAST!!!! Good luck from STALLION country!!!

 

[TGT]

Wiz … according to the Clinton-Sampson Chamber of Commerce, the parade starts at 10 am. You could still go to the parade, hop on your private jet to Smith-Reynolds Airport in W-S and still make the kickoff.

This from the Clinton-Sampson Facebook page: "One week from today (next Saturday December 13th) join us for the Christmas in Clinton parade in Downtown Clinton at 10am! Enjoy this family fun annual event- rain or shine!"

 

[Inyourdome24-7]

There may be 10 people at that parade.

Thank you for saying that first! Lol!

 

[Darkhorse#34]

Nice article in the Fay observer revisiting the 1997 game and Willie Parker's endzone drive......Coach Michael Bell a current Clinton JV coach was a defensive back on the 97 team

 

[Wizard of the East]

TGT, hopefully the real parade will be about 6:30 pm when the victory entourage comes into town lights flashing and horns blowing, youngn's screaming!

Chamber officials should postpone the parade to night ... and let the team be a part.

No parade for second place

 

[TGT]

Parade for East regional champs or state champs -- either way a great season that has the community (but not the chamber of commerce) taking notice.

 

[crest91]

Alright Lions...Go whoop them Cleveland County style...seriously, don't hold back. Because if you lose, then that puts even more pressure on Crest...and I don't think two Cleveland County teams have ever both lost a state...SO, it'd be nice for ya'll to go ahead and get that win...Havelock is a tall order.

Good luck!

 

[Wizard of the East]

crest@1, the DarkHorses are a tall order as well! The Golden Lions may win but the DarkHorses are no cupcake, in fact I fully expect them to win

I'm just kidding around TGT. Clinton has had a great season, and is a great program. Can't wait for the game on Saturday!

 

[SHS LION]

Shelby is the away team so I guess will be sitting in the sun.

 

[Wizard of the East]

I was thinking that about the sun but with a high noon kickoff we should all be in the sun at least for awhile. The weather like its going to be perfect.
It was a doggone cold November!

This to me when SWO is playing ..is the best week/ pregame football..congrats to Shelby and CHS(we got the 2 best teams playing)...Many a fan or community have never experienced this event and Shelby and Clinton have been fortunate to have done it many times...enjoy.. who knows when it may end.I hope as a SWO fan I have not enjoyed my last (doubt it),,but who knows..never thought I would see Clinton with a one game win season..what a bounce back to Glory...Hoping injury free to both teams.....Go Eastern NC Football ..Go Clinton

 

[Wizard of the East]

 

[13 ah yeah!]

crest won't be winning anything so i guess it's all on you shelby!!

 

[sam]

Is this game being streamed online?

 

[2for3]

Shelby/Clinton(different type parade)...in some title years as the bus is going back to the school(SWO)..The HP and Sherriffs office has escorted the charter team buses back to campus with sirens blowing...a treat for the kids and they are glad to do it.. if you phone them on the way home..(most agencies) will pick up the escort at the county line.We did get some 1 finger salutes as we went through Richland intersections in 2012
