This one deserves its own thread.

Raleigh Enloe is a 4AA team and was a 34 point favorite.

BY is, well, BY. Maybe one of the weakest programs in North Carolina.

For the team from Yanceyville to beat a 4AA team from Raleigh has to rank as one of the biggest upsets all time in North Carolina.

Final score was 20-14. Take a bow, Bartlett Yancey. You deserve it.
 
Agree 100%. One thing for sure it showcases Raleigh football. Should be renamed WEAK County. Isn't Enloe in the top three largest enrollments in the state? Congrats to Yancey. Take a bow.
 
This was a nice win for BY but I'd tap the brakes on the biggest upset ever. Yes Enloe has a huge enrollment but it is a magnet school and 90% of their male students probably could care less about football let alone play it. I could not remember the last time they had a winning season let alone won a playoff game so I looked it up. Last winning season was 2002 and last time they won won a playoff game was NEVER. Enloe started playing football in 1963 and has never won a playoff game.
 
WEAK COUNTY.......lol.....yeah but they play great Soccer and Lacrosse......lol.......Still a Big win for the B-Y Bucs....congrats.....................
 
So, how many winning seasons has BY had and how many playoff wins??

Enloe may not be a football power but another web site picked them above Broughton and Sanderson in the Cap 8 4A Conference.

This is by far the biggest win in Bartlett Yancey's history.

Anyone want to provide a list of teams that were 34 point underdogs and won?

I coached at BY from '84-'87. BY has had 2 winning seasons in the history of their program. Trust me this is a huge win.

I agree it's a big win. BY has been a lower tier program for years. Congratulations to the Bucs
 
Probably BY's biggest win in program history besides their win over Mount Airy in the late 90's.

Hope they can manage success well, been a while since they won.
 
I looked up B-Y's record for the last 50 plus years......from 1960 to right now (last fri nite).....B-Y's record is 124 wins 424 losses and 11 ties.....................only 2 winning seasons.............best record ever was 8-2 in 1967.................they did indeed beat Mt. Airy in 1998 28-19.....................

to give you a sense of perspective...in that same time frame Reidsville's record is 453 Wins 197 Losses and 11 Ties...................

And BY has NEVER won a playoff game in school history. So this was the NEVER-NEVER bowl. Over 100 years combined of football history and no playoff victories...Ouch
 
It's funny that this is a discussion because these two programs have always amazed me at how they consistently buck the trends. Enloe is either two or three in terms of adm, yet they have never been a threat in football ever. The whole central Raleigh area as a whole doesn't have much to talk about concerning football. Enloe, Sanderson, Broughton.....these are three LARGE schools with athletes aplenty to choose from. Like ram said, can't beat them in soccer and lacrosse. That's exactly what I think of when I hear those names. But how they barely field a football team year in and year out is beyond me. But what confuses me even more is how BY has never ever had a cycle of good players like every school goes thru. I can't imagine that that school has just had inept coaching their entire existence. I've been to Yanceyville a couple of times. It's not a ghost town completely. Is it a feeder program problem? What gives?
 
B-Y is in Caswell County....unusual in the Piedmont in that it is very rural and small (pop. wise)....Yanceyville is the only town and it's a small town at that.....so Bartlett-Yancey high school is the high school for the whole county and it's dispersed over a large area....so numbers are always a problem....no history (as far as football tradition goes).....no expectations....etc....B-Y did win a state title in basketball in the late 80's (in 3A)...............Caswell is the county due east of Rockingham (the county that Reidsville is located in) and is about 25 miles east of Reidsville..................

Great basketball program when Lindsey Page (NCHSAA Hall of Fame inductee in 2013) was head coach there … Sleepy Taylor was the first real superstar. Then the 31-1 team that won the 1988 state title had five or six really good players including Dana Elliott and Keith Claiborne. Lindsey Page's son Steve went on to be a great player at Elon.

BY has had some great players.. Montell Corbett Seahawks NFL..Michael Brooks Seahawks Super Bowl Champs..Bradley Lipscomb a few yrs ago was a great LB till he got hurt, don't know what happened to him.
