I wish that it was sandbagging.......but believe me when I say "We will be bad." And that's putting it nicely.
I don't know, abiggdog11. You have a picture of my hero....and Dean was the Master of Sandbagging.I wish that it was sandbagging.......but believe me when I say "We will be bad." And that's putting it nicely.
From what I am hearing, we will be bottom two in the YVC. No sandbagging involved.I don't know, abiggdog11. You have a picture of my hero....and Dean was the Master of Sandbagging.
Well albemarle will beat chatham and south davidson, who else will they beat? south stanly maybe?
The only "Guarantee" that I would give this year for Albemarle Football is that it will be UGLY, Really UGLY!

The biggest thing I keep hearing is that we don't have an Oline/Dline or any depth at the position. Our QB is the jv starter from last year. All of our returning skill position starters from last year are either not playing or transferred. Only a few kids show up to summer workouts and aren't very hard workers. We are in essence stuck with a below average jv team. That is about it. It is all very concerning.What else have you heard?

Albemarle will flirt with .500, give or take a game. Just my opinion.
Been awhile just reading through the comments. Coach Mason I think will do a fine job. Just needs to focus on building a foundation and allow the program to grow. QUOTE]
Did they find an assistant coach?
I was impressed by last years 8th grade squad. They have some really good talent there, they just needed a coach (Not knocking the current). My main question is "Work Ethic". One person on here already said that they work ethic was poor at this point, but they probably contamination from the previous coach, and if Mason is anything what you guys say he is....I see a lot of kids being benched from the previous team and letting the freshman and sophomores taking the torch. We already lost our starting backfield...but I wasn't really impressed with that anyways....ol' well.
If the players are not coming out because of a coach they have never played for they do not need to be on the team.
He did coach at WSHS a few years ago. Not sure if there was a season he did not show up.
I feel confident that he is the best football mind in the system. How that will translate to the HC position and the program we will see but the bottom line is Albemarle is not a job that elite coaches with championship resumes are going to flock to. Many Albemarle fans have a hard time accepting or believing this.
I truly think the Albemarle mystique began to crumble the night Davidson Day rolled into town and the AHS fans laughed at them...until the first offensive play.

In reality that Albemarle team that played Davidson Day at Albemarle was not a very good team. The teams before that could have played with Davidson Day and and even beat them as well as bigger public schools. Give Mason a chance to prove what he can do. If the players don't want to come out and play for him and the school they don't need to be on the team like you said Btango.If the players are not coming out because of a coach they have never played for they do not need to be on the team.

Unless my memory is failing, didn't we go to round 4 of the playoffs the first year that we played DD in 2013, and got beat 66-6? We then lost to Central Cabarrus 68-32 in game 2. West Montgomery then beat us 51-14 I would say that is a pretty talented team for a small 1a team. Talent wise 2014 was less talented than 2013 and 2015 was even less talented than both teams, by far. 2016 will be even less talented than all of the above and we are playing a top five 3a school in game 2. Let the good Lord get us through the first two games. But for us to be so bad in 2013, we sure did go pretty far in the playoffs and win 11 games. Oh how standards have changed.In reality that Albemarle team that played Davidson Day at Albemarle was not a very good team.

Yes that team did make it to the 4th round of the playoffs that year but they beat Chatham Central in round one 63-0 after they beat them 79-0 in the regular season. They then played Union Academy for the second time and beat them 62-21. They then played South Robeson a team that had lost six games that year and beat them 29-20. They also played South Robeson the year before in the playoffs and bet them 63-0. They lost 53-21 to Murphy which was the only good team they faced in the playoffs that season. I stand by my statement that that team was not nearly as good as the teams had been in the past.Unless my memory is failing, didn't we go to round 4 of the playoffs the first year that we played DD in 2013, and got beat 66-6?

Sway, Most of the time I agree with most things you say but the 2013 team didn't suck. They would have beat Murphy in good conditions. They had great athletes.2013 team sucked! They beat absolutely nobody! They wanted that championship handed to them and Murphy said "Nope"..
