Catawba Valley 2A Early Outlook

He is a eighth grader his brother is a somp at EB played on the JV football team. He is fast and a great Athlete. His brother is a six grader and a stud already!!
He will be the QB of the future I think watching him in several games this year. The 8th grade class is not as strong as the last two groups that came up the last two years!

Well hopefully all of these kids stay at EB which if coach Minor is there I believe they will but still gotta keep them there

If Draughn keeps up the transfers too much they’ll go over the 1A limit and have to jump back to 2A which would suck lol. Years ago North Lincoln barley I mean barley missed the 2A cut off By like 5 or 6 students and had to play 3A. Which they do now anyway cause of more people in genera moving to area, BUT back then it was Kids transferring in cause they liked the band.

That’s prob when they were in NPC days with Mooresville n LN
 
This is a top to bottom competitive conference and I think this conference year will be down imo for some teams than last year and I think this year will be top heavy. *Im still learning about this area so Im prob way off on my prediction*

My early Prediction is
1. Maiden
2. N-C
3. East Burke
4. Lincolnton
5. Bandys
6. West Lincoln
7. Bunker Hill
8. West Caldwell
Don’t disrespect us again
 
2023 Predictions

1. Bunker Hill- Returning 9 on offense and 10 on defense.
2. Maiden - Maiden will find some transfers happens every year
3. Bandys- Mike Helms is taking over the offense so expect the offense to click more and they return a decent amount
4A- Lincolnton - return about 50% will always be competitive
4B- West Lincoln- have always been a steady team don’t think they will be as good as they were last year but will be competitive
6- East Burke - they are returning a lot supposedly so will be interesting to see how they do this upcoming season
7- Newton Conover - no clue how they will be. They were probably the most unorganized/prepared team I watched last year
8- West Caldwell - just getting through til basketball
 
Expect more of East Burke than that. I could be wrong as some of us are on our predictions. Just expect more folks. Next year will be the shot at playoffs and May not have another for a while after that even with a talented QB coming up from middle school. Dude has to get adjusted to high school which will be a jump for anyone that age. Also Got to have a cast of motivated strength and tallent around him, will he? Hard to say this early and track hadn’t started yet.

With so much coming up with Bandys and them just being Bandys in general don’t be surprised if they contend hard for 1st.

should be a interesting year can't wait!!
 
As anyone that has followed football AND track, it’s obvious that in the spring these same boys(unless they play baseball) are pads off and testing their strength and speed. Get ready to see a show when EB steps onto the track. Bandys took the conf crown last year in a dogfight close finish with EB. Bandys, this year you’re going down!! Ha ha.
 
I saw some tents outside the school with mailboxes so they have them some addresses ready
Y'all coach gonna load up some people in a car this year and continue to secretly take pics of people's family while they are trying to sell their old homes 🤔 and then go cry to county school board that y'all got pics of them not living in district. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Blue devils had a new freshman on the basketball court last night for varsity. Good looking kid. Cousin said he was from Tennessee. Does he play football as well?

Here is an early preview of maiden with some holes and guessing so take it with a grain of salt for know. We have 3 current freshman lineman all 300 plus pounds and a sophomore lineman that started right at 300. So we could possibly have four 300 lb lineman starting next year. We return 6'5 wr misher and new kid from Tennessee 6'4. So we could have twin towers at Wr. Now of course I didn't mention a few spots that could be open to question.

"City limits to Sail View"...and that rather generous attendance area, lol.
 
@Lincolnton wake up 😂 did they finally put u away 🤣🤣🤣
Oh, no, my friend. I'm alive and well. Sorry I didn't see your post yesterday. Hope you and yours are good.
Hey, speaking of being put away, when I retired from my job I sent the required paperwork in. Someone from HR, which is located several hours away from Lincolnton, had a question about something on one of the forms so they called the office where I worked.
I happened to be off when they called. The lady from HR told my co-worker that for some reason she thought I had passed away, and I can see how she might have thought that since they (the HR Dept.) have many employees to keep up with.
This witty, impudent co-worker (I ought to put her name on here because I think she reads the NC Preps message boards) told the HR associate that I HAD in fact passed away but I'd forgot to lay down. What a Sm@rt@leck.

Anyways, thanks for saying something as it's always good to hear from AMD. Be careful over at the demolition contest. You must know that anyone who enjoys that has to be a bit of a daredevil or rebel. Course, it's just in some of us. Maybe that's why people ride motorcycles. ;)
