One thing I would note about that first game was that Byrd did not play a significant amount in the second half. He went out early in the third quarter with leg cramps. Then the back up quarterback got hurt and the third string quarterback came in for one round of downs. Eventually, the second string quarterback came back in to finish out the game. I was hoping to look back at the video from that game, but I did not find it in our video library.Week 1 was a fun game. Byrd was very impressive throwing the ball. Hoggard played soft as they were starting a CB that is #6 on the depth chart. Cleveland took advantage of that with 2 long TD passes. Cleveland had 1 nice drive for a score and a pic 6. Cleveland defense was strong enough to withstand Hoggards comeback and won 28-20. I felt Cleveland played better than Hoggard and deserved the win but I also thought Hoggard can beat this team. Now 13 weeks later which team has improved the most and which team has stayed the healthiest?
Hoggards starting defense has given up 59 points this year, thats it and the Rams have 21 of those points. Hoggards starters have played all 4 quarters in only 3 game.. Their offense is averaging 42 ppg. The offensive line is anchored by two D1 players in Jason Smith and Michael Gibbs. Qb Hudson Wilharm leads the offense and has been the best QB in SE NC.
I expect this game to be close. Penalties and turnovers may be the difference.
What a great game and a great playoff atmosphere. Cleveland took away Hoggards run game and Hoggard slowed Clevelands pass game. Cleveland held Hoggard to only 62 rushing yards and did a great job all night by bringing an extra guy in the box. Hoggard played a little deeper and West brought pressure all night and held Byrd to 14-34 and had 3 int and 1 pick 6. Stokes was great with 191 yards rushing but Hoggards WIlharm was even better throwing for 385 and 6 TD. I also thought Goings was awesome with 193 yards receiving. He made plays all night. Hoggards WRs Nas Sessions was just as impressive with 167 yards rec and 4 TDs and Blake Edwards had 15 rec for 170 yards a TD. Cleveland has a lot of talent and a lot of young talent and will be very good next year. If these teams played 10 times they would probably be 5-5. Go Vikes!Congratulations portcity on a convincing win. You guys earned that W. Good luck to you the rest of the way.
Based on what. Why the animosity?Cleveland - medium size fish in a small pond.
The only conference that got six teams in from the east this year. The only conference that had three teams in the round of 16. The only team that had played Hoggard and beat them earlier this year.No animosity. Cleveland is always good and very good in a bad conference.
I hear the same thing about our conf. The MEC had Hoggard, NH, Laney, Ashley and N. Brunswick win 1st round games. The MEC now has a 10-4 record this year in the playoffs. I have seen as much football as anyone and Cleveland can play with anyone.The only conference that got six teams in from the east this year.

And who is your team?
I do not think this post was posted with animosity. Cleveland is a very good football team. They are still adjusting from 3A to 4A. I also think what the poster meant by posting is JOCO is not Raleigh or Charlotte or even Winston Salem/Greensboro.Based on what. Why the animosity?
I hear what you’re saying. However, I’m the only Cleveland poster on this website that I have seen. I tried to show some graciousness in defeat by giving a shout out to Hoggard. This post came from nowhere and was disrespectful and showed that this poster has no knowledge of the Cleveland program and what they have done.I do not think this post was posted with animosity.
