Cleveland County Picks: Week 1

[Lion Attack]

Shelby vs Freedom: Shelby’s offense won’t be stopped, but must contain Birchfield, Freedom’s dual threat quarterback, Navy commit 42-21 Lions

Crest vs South Point: I hear Crest’s D is for real. Will the Red Raiders be without UNC commit
Ray Grier? I expect their quarterback to play.
21-14 Crest

Kings Mountain vs Burns: Shootout early, but KM wins the turnover battle. 41-28 Mountaineers

For the first time ever Crest is expected to beat South Point with 2 plays.

I think Crest wins by a little more. South Point has a good Fullback but thats about it.

Traditionally, that's about all it takes to beat them.

Shelby 31 Freedom 23. Playing against a QB threat like Birchfield would make me a little nervous because they can keep drives going.

Crest 21 South Point 14. Two QB approach gives Crest enough yards and points to win.

KM 35 Burns 14. Score doesn't indicate how close the game actually is.

Now it might be the reverse

No dog any were near the fight but I’d say the Crest SP game is only one that can go either way. Rest is way decided.

 

[GSO-Triple5]

South Point by two.

 

[Chopper747]

All the pressure is on Crest to be honest. If they lose the first game to a currently 1 dimensional 2A school with no quarterback they will never live that down.

South Point has nothing to lose.

 

[XChamp15]

Crest getting way too many pats on the back. SP has beaten some darn good Crest teams in the past. Way to earl to give this one to Crest by 2 scores. Toss up at best.

 

[Wolf4Lyfe]

I do think Crest has the advantage and I believe they will win. However I know all too well not to underestimate the Red Raiders. They will not just roll over. The Red Bone offense alone is worth 14 at Lineberger.

Ray Grier might be the starting QB so he would get to touch the ball every offensive play...scary

No excuses, they have no QB

Grier will be lucky to even play much less start at QB. SP is beyond banged up.

 

[Burkeforreal]

Highly unusual for a program like this

 

[SPRedRaider]

Highly unusual for a program like this

Losing the starting QB over the summer for disciplinary reasons was not planned upon. Losing the apparent heir to the position next year to a broken arm certainly wasn't planned for either.
