Horses take it back on the road as we begin the REAL season aka conference play. First up Goldsboro. Cougars have started the season with a scrappy come from behind 20-19 (2OT) win at Northside-Jacksonville WK1 where they came back from a 13-0 deficit to win. Last week they hosted Anson County winning 21-7. As usual i expect the Cougars to have some athletic skill players(glad #4 has graduated covering him on special teams was an adventure)
Im sure Coach Ray has some others like him somewhere on that Goldsboro sideline.

For Clinton continue to build on the positives we seen the first 2 weeks and just continue to improve on the few negatives. I think aslong as we take care of the ball we will be fine. If a team is going to beat you make them beat you dont give em gifts. Which is kinda the way the 3rd quarter started last week. But gotta love the resilience and poise to calm down and get it right after that point.

I feel this one will remain close for a quarter or 2 maybe even into the 3rd before Clinton pulls away. Lets go 1-0 for the week. GO HORSES!!!!!!

IMO this is a preview of the conference championship game. Haven’t seen Goldsboro play but knowing the kind of athletes they have and with 2 good wins, I think they make it to conference championship. I think Clinton is the clear cut #1 team in conference this year.

In these times its no such thing as clear cut......i still believe its ED,Clinton,or WRH winning this conference and ED and Clinton are on the same side so the winner between them more than likely play Wallace for the title. Just my opinion

Had WRH kept it closer with Havelock I would have agreed with you but just got a feeling it is Goldsboros time

Outside of Shelby and Reidsville Havelock would beat everyone in 2A just as bad including us. Wallace is still wayyyy better than Goldsboro ill take the Bulldogs in that matchup anyday and twice on Friday.

I think Clinton would give Havelock a game in all seriousness. Just my opinion though

I love my team but after what Havelock did to NE and WRH i seriously doubt that....Shelby,Reidsville i believe are the only 2A schools that could hang with them this year. That Edmunds is a cheat code.

Imo, I would rank Clinton 3rd right now. But they are legit top 6. I really think its their time to come out east. Of course they have a few more games to prove what I think. Goldsboro being one of them.

Lets just say being humble and stating a open opinion rubs people the wrong way apparently. I guess im suppose to get up here and say we are going to win every game by 50 points go undefeated and we are a shoe in for the State Championship game. I made a statement about Shelby and Reidsville being the only 2A schools i think could hang with Havelock and someone didnt like it. Wasnt ment to be offensive or anything negative against Clinton. More so giving credit to how good Shelby and Reidsville have been they own 2A for the last couple years especially Shelby so i didnt see it being a big deal.......i enjoy coming up here talking about football and reading the threads learning about teams/players having discussions debates etc but at this point its not fun having to walk on egg sells. Ill post score updates on Fridays but thats it for me
That's crazy, it's all in fun! I'm like you, I really enjoy learning about other teams/players too. We all know the game is still to be played on the field, this is just opinionated fun.

34 and 04. Got total respect for you guys. Can't believe I'm saying that about y'all darkhorses. But seriously, what y'all say is not going to dictate how your team performs. I don't get it. Y'all always have a positive attitude. I'm not as cordial as y'all.
 
I have enjoyed the banter with all the Clinton posters the last couple of years. Definitely a passionate group of fans minus all of the silly comments we see from other fan bases.

First the alleged no one at practices a couple of years ago to now being concerned about a poster giving praise to others? Sounds like an inferiority complex to me.

You got a bad taste in teams but you loyal. Hey man, stay on preps. You one of the best. Since we all got to know you, I can at least respect your your fan base.

Ill be around just a tough week burying my Uncle tomorrow. He took me to my first Clinton game in 1995 i was 7 years old and i had the bug ever since. Just a misunderstanding its all good

No this was just a misunderstanding on my part. Coach is a solid guy and he knows the game most importantly he cares about the kids. My fault i gotta learn how to take a joke

Damn when did clinton become soft as cupcakes. Tell the coach to relax a little geez. No fans at practice, cant talk true facts about the Clinton team playing now. Tell coach start winning some big time games, maybe a ship or two before you start acting like Alabama smh....

Do you even know Coach Johnson? One of the most motivational coaches around not only that, hes also one of the most humble....im not a clinton fan by any means... im actually a rival fan but for you to trash talk him behind a keyboard shows the true person you are. Hes only been there a few years and made it deep in the playoffs every year..so before you call him and his great coaching staff soft cupcakes..i suggest you humble yourself and meet the guy.....because you would change that opinion real quick....

Sorry to hear of your loss 34, I was the only grandchild fir 8 years and I had a uncle take me to games too. My dad did too but my uncle was single and would come get me and off we’d go. He took me when I was about 4 to a NC Stste game in Reynolds Coliseum. To a little fella it was the biggest place in the whole wide world

Got a chance to see the JV tonight vs West Johnston some bright spots. That younger Westerbeek is going to be just like his older brother. Really liked #8 and #9.Coupled with the sophomores and freshman we already have on varsity future remains bright.

U crazy lol. If I’m going into battle, I’m taking Corey Johnson with me. Dude is awesome. I don’t think 34 ever said anything about coaching staff was reason he was taking his hiatus. Maybe I’m wrong. Either way, until you know him, don’t knock him. Dude is legit coach, and even better person. Go horses!
