Hope to catch up with y’all this year. Definitely coming to the Gaffney game but not sure which side I’ll sit on. I have close friends from both schools. Hope Crest can hang. might be a tough one for the chargers. Gaffney needs a QB though.

Man, I work right down in the heart of Gaffney football fans with hundreds of these crazy people.

The only folks I know crazier than Shelby or Crest fans are Gaffney fans. You’re right it’s probably going to be a tough night but as coach says iron sharpens iron. You don’t get better playing Freedom but you’ll know right who you are when you’re done with Gaffney.

Heck they should beat us.

Man your right about gaffney fans. I too work in gaffney at a truck assembly plant. They don't do it anymore. But in the kaye nineties. Every friday. All day. Someone would start beating on a box. It would start spreading like the wave. Everybody would be doing the wahoo chop and chant. It was actually pretty awesome. I hated every minute of it. But it was impressive.

I was good friends with Joe Montgomery HC years ago. He told me these fans down here are different. Still pretty much the same way. You wouldn’t believe the stories he told me about parents, teachers, fans and rednecks in Gaffney, but he said bunch of good people down there that hated to lose. Good thing and close to the same way at Crest and Shelby every time they don’t win a ring. I wish some of that was in KM….they keep losing and hoping for next year. Golf and politics matter in KM….football is down the food chain.

Coach knows you play your best by playing the best. This will be one battle tested football team.
 

Just a thread to discuss happenings around the County with regards to the football programs. There will most likely be comments from the peanut gallery (SPRaiders78) but we can all agree to pray that his fingers fall off.​

I can’t speak much to KM or Burns or Shelby so if any of you guys feel froggy jump on in.​

Crest,​

A lot of interesting things going on at Crest. First thing I notice is that unlike the XL pipeline, the pipeline to Crest is wide open and that that isn’t a joke. The excitement is palpable around the program and a lot of let’s say folks want to join in on the party. Some of these cats from across town know exactly what I speak of. But, even they don’t know it all. Big changes in operations have stoked other changes around the 7 mile radius between Grandpaw and Daddy. The flow of traffic has changed. No one can blame anyone for a directional change from that way but traffic is inbound from multiple directions.​

I pondered why. There are a few reasons not just the obvious. The obvious would be a wide open offense, A fantastic coach and staff, and resources are becoming much more abundant. Those are good but by themselves are not enough. I thought about it and I have a few more reasons.​

That video taping last year exposed something we refer to as Barney Fifeing. I enjoyed the show every week. It gave an inside look to things that should have been kept inside.​

The schedule specifically the conference schedule for Burns and Shelby is a complete farce. Which gets exacerbated if 2A Sate Titles aren’t flowing into Shelby. Burns is on a whole other planet than the rest of us.​

Let’s look at it. Kids playing at Crest will play.​

Gaffney​

Burns​

Shelby​

Ashbrook​

Cramer​

South Point​

NG​

FV​

Huss​

Kings Mountain​

Shelby will play​

Kings Mountain​

South Meck (I guess) (one of those schools)​

Crest​

Hibriten​

Cherryville​

Thomas Jefferson​

Highland Tech​

Bessemer City​

East Gaston​

Burns​

I’m looking at things through green glasses but it’s pretty clear to me .There is a lot of buzz about this and that about middle schools and all that. Middle schools… LOL… I remember as few years ago when Crest had a QB down there at CMS and he transferred to Shelby as soon as he hit high school age. It was understandable his dad was a Golden Lion. Well let’s forward a few years Word on the street is that the same thing is happening just in reverse directions. The exact same thing is taking place if what I hear is correct. I might just be hearing bull-crap, but what if what I heard is true? LOLOLOLOLOLOL…………….​

I know nothing about KM. I don’t even care. They’ll be around at least until that casino turns that whole place into dung-pile. They need to be teaching a Heimlich maneuver class as mandatory learning over there.​

Burns has another decent year left and they’ll be glad to be in that conference after that. That’s my opinion.​

Anyway, just ramblings of an old man waiting on football season to come back around. Feel free to take shots I promise I do not care. I simply typed the truth. Times are changing….. Times are a changing…​

Happy New Year.​

Hey rulz I have not been on preps in a minute what is the background behind the Barney fife reference ?

Then let’s go play at Burns , at Shelby .
Toughest schedule in the state by far.
I still would say mallard creek has the hardest schedule in the state but Crest is definitely up there with one of the toughest schedules for sure.

Been trying to tell yall, People do not pay attention.

Was I not the one who told all those South Point fans Devine was leaving and they mocked me and then he left.

Did I not tell the Shelby fans Lance Ware was leaving and where he was going. They laughed at me. He's still gone and he's still where he went.

When I tell you things are going down you can believe it. There are some things that just can't get put out there at the moment.

If it all comes together. There will need to be a secret meeting over on 74 to try and counter-act. It's already to late.

HATE US!!!!

^That one line in that video stirred up the Nation. Big UP's to BF2 for giving us all a look inside and for the words that lit a spark.

"I know you know some of them guys and I know some too but tonight I want you to HATE Crest" - BF2 - 2022.

We have never seen the tide turn in Cleveland County as it is and will be turning. Love watching all the Shelby slappies squirm and have excuse after excuse on why people are leaving. Shelby will say they will be ok, not this time around. It’s like the Titanic over there , like Rulz said not everything can be put out public yet. Just wait and watch.

On another episode of As ‘Cleveland County Football Turns’ In the southeastern part of the county, Kings Mountain has taken some huge losses on their coaching staff on the defensive side of the ball. I am not sure that KM can ever replace what those guys brought to the defense and to the program overall. Coach Kennedy and Coach Brown are probably the biggest coaching losses in KM football since the late Ron Massey left for Kannapolis. Coach Brown (JB) will do a great job at Crest. Both of these guys not only were good coaches but also good motivators who had relationships with their players beyond the football field. Also the kids could relate to them because those guys played college ball on the defensive side of the ball and could discuss in game adjustments and coach kids on technique which is huge. JB also coached many of the current kids from youth football through high school and had their trust. I am talking about from players from the Rickalyn Mack youth football years to this current crop of Curtis Simpson and company. KM will feel this loss big time for the next four or five years. From the outside looking in I totally understand why those guys chose not to come back to KM football despite what the official KM statement on them leaving may be. Coach JB will do a great job at Crest with their young players.
Many people are waiting to see who KM replace those guys with but I am sure that KM politics will play a part in that process as usual. For a fleeting moment I mistakenly believed we had moved beyond our typical KM nonsense. I am sure that some new KM posters will materialize out of nowhere to hype up whatever excuse making retread KM coach or coaches are brought in. We have two that we should have left on whatever dung pile they were on come back on staff in KM and now we have to replace two of our better talent evaluators on top of this. I can see us going back to those previous years of coaches advocating for their friends’ kids, administrators kids, or boosters’ kids, and bad mouthing kids that they do not want to see on the field because it was a threat to the previously mentioned kids or to simply be a yes man to whatever bs we see on field in the future. Stay tuned; same Cleveland County time same Cleveland County channel.

You’re a real dude. Respect!
 
After watching that video I hope Shelby keeps Barney Fife2 as coach for many years to come. I am not sure the name fits though as this is an insult to Mayberry's finest law man. Anyway, I like the passion from the Crust crowd. Apart from a loss to Gaffney and Burns I see a great season ahead!

Hate to tell ya bro, nobody squirming over here, we lost 2 players to Crest, middle school kid not a done deal yet so that's 1..we had kid go back to Gaffney.
But onething we havent said is we got a db and stud rb transfers from Gaffney.

I see that live in Gaffney, play at Shelby pipeline still alive and well
 
Not sure where they live, just know they transfered,
Maybe they were able to do what some of the Crest transfers were able to do....or where they live.

Come on man. These Gaffney folks are laughing. They said you might have got a runningback from Gaffney but the stud part is a joke. They're correct. No stud from Gaffney is leaving to play 2a ball in North Carolina. If they're a stud they'd have just stayed and played 5A football in South Carolina.

Plus you need all the DB's you can get.

Is that safety we call oatmeal still there or did he graduate? We call him oatmeal because he looked like he was running in about 2 feet of it all the time.😂😂
