2A east projection (predicting this weeks games)
- Thread starter easternNCfan41
- Start date
West Craven I think may be better than anyone in the ECC, they may fly under the radar to the eastern championship. They play defense I understand!
nice when you get seeded well enough that you can go ahead a look to the 2nd round!😃
Whiteville won't get to the 3rd round but then I don't know, that weak upper bracket, any number of them in the lower bracket could win there. If you get that far, which would be for the eastern championship; don't get your hopes up. You won't be playing teams as you beat in the regular season. Most conference champions won't for a while, but not all.
biggest crock of crap. I've read on here lately. Your'e looking at history backward.. Is the 1990 as far as you can go? What about the old Division II b/s; look dont tery to sell us the seeding process. Thdere are biases in the process. That the reason the legislature has steeeped in as well as the massive amout of $$$$$$$ they're sitting on for no good reason, but yes I know, theres a opposite opinion for everything.
As for ED a team that has just 1 loss less than Clinton possibly playing Clinton in the 2nd round. Clinton has a little tougher opponent in the 1st round but I can tell you if it happens, you know the history there is no place Clinton fans would rather play a playoff game better than Beaulaville!
And I thought I was a grouchy old man. You must sleep all day and then get up at midnight to post on here.
The RPI is what it is. it is based on criteria that was made public in the spring. There is no magic pencil with it. Clinton has no outstanding wins this year, they just dont. Midway? Red Springs? Who? Yes, we know the Duplin County schools "voted" Clinton out of the conference...lol. Yes, we know the WRH game was cancelled. Now, does this mean Clinton (or anyone else) cannot be successful in the playoffs? No, absolutely not. No one would be surprised if they made it to the 3rd round.
You seem to love to knock Whiteville. Based on the RPI (again, formula known since last spring for all to see) Whiteville and Clinton opponents rating was identical (.45194). The difference? Whiteville WON all their scheduled games, Clinton did not.
Clinton is seeded exactly where they are supposed to be based on the aforementioned seeding procedures.
No one is saying anyone should be given any favors. I think you are taking the statement out of context. Correct me if I am wrong, but wasnt Clinton seeded #2 last year (behind Reidsville)? 2019, you were the #1 seed in the region. What else do you want?
I will agree that I think WC is very capable of a deep playoff run. I have heard they have a great defense. They would be seeded much higher had they gotten off to a better start this year but seem to be playing at a high level now. I also agree that Cummings doesnt play anyone.

Then u should be ok. Wrh can't stop a nosebleed on defense. Our only hope is out scoring folks
I expect Kevin to have the team fired up for a 2nd Rd game. I'm trying hard not to look past this weekend. It's sure hard to do!
Now goob i have to say i was thinking u guys would be favored to come out of the east- until i watched the currituck game. I don't know now.
Goobs got everyone on the hype train at NE. This has to be their year
Calm down old man, put the bottle down or use spell check. Thanks for the inside novel you just wrote
I told John and Otis what happened the night of the Currituck game. You’d understand why it was as close as it was if you hear the story from one of them. Coach Moore said it was so crazy that all the players put on new socks at halftime lol 😂. He said at some point every team goes thru a game like that but fortunately for us we were able to secure the win
I figure there's prob 5-6 teams capable of winning the east. Yal certainly one of em
Yes sir I think your correct. A potential matchup against Edenton im the second round worries me
Sorry @Wizard of the East but @UNC91 just made me laugh. That was a good one, he’s usually getting me with these lol
Me personally I have no issue about our seeding bout what was expected. We knew what we needed to do to be one of the higher ranked teams and we didn’t deliver that’s ok. Everyone is 0-0 now and you have no choice but to play who’s in front of you. No system is perfect alway be questions,flaws and complaints but at the end of the day it’s this simple…win
