David (Wrh) versus Goliath (WF) lets here it

You right. I'm not sure how much this game can help. Dogs need to play better than lately. Get healthy.
For a Dogs team that is already not 100 percent from the way it sounds this game doesn’t set up well for them. Sure it is great for yalls program to be able to play against the Alabama of NC football but WRH has a legit shot at a State Title this year. WRH making it out of this game healthy would be a victory in itself. It will be closer than a blowout
Wallace has been looking forward to this game all year. 21 point or less loss, is still a victory for WRH. Wake Forest better be happy they are at home, because I don't know if they could win at Wallace.
Why bother playing the game at all if a 3 TD loss is considered a win?
I know WRH wants the game that is reason number 1, also I can make a case as to some years that WRH wins this game. I am "predicting" that Wake Forest is a really good 4a school, and WRH is a really good 2a school.
Dept and fatigue should start to play a factor late.
You play this game because the schedules match up, and it's good for the fans..
Those are great reasons. So if WRH " wants" it then they play the game to win it not lose by less than 3 TD's and call it a " win".
Thats the problem with these games and fan bases. I read all the time from the fans that they can" Play with anyone". Now a week out and its " we will consider it a win if we only lose by 21". WRH is a great football program...........they should expect to win, nothing less.
I'm not a WRH fan so me saying 21 points or less is a victory is way different than there fan base saying it.
I like this game for a few reason. Wallace is a power House program located in a rural eastern NC area. Most of the time to fill out a schedule schools like Wallace would play a 1a program that cannot even make the playoffs, and provides zero comp. Same can be said of Wake Forest, that to fill out schedule before conference they schedule a cup cake.
Wake Forest still gets some stiff competition, Wallace gets to test there program against a bigger school. It is a win win, because at the end of the day both of these programs are competing for state titles in there respected classes.
One of the things I loved about my years watching hs football was a year that SWO played for a state title 2a, and Wallace played and won the 1aa title. They played earlier that year and Wallace won. So attending that game earlier in the year. Fans got to see two state championship caliber teams play each other.
I'm a SWO fan, and from 2001-2004 I would have loved to see what my squad could have done against a team like Wake Forest. I get your point play to win! I'm not playing so it doesn't matter what I think a victory is or not. Playing a good 4a school is a matter of pride to the 1a and 2a programs that often get dumped on in the talks of best teams in the entire state.
It can happen. Northeastern is a testament to physically going toe to toe with bigger schools this year. You can only play 11 at a time. Wake Forest will not underestimate them boys from Teachey!!
You little glorified JV teams feel that just because you dominate your little pond you are world beaters. I like to mess around with people who haven't seen teams outside their little cluster of villages. You're not Davids. I've seen REAL 'David' type schools, and those you are NOT. Out west(west coast US) certain small schools are allowed to play up a class during playoffs. NONE of you(especially out east with your 1980s offenses) would be able to compete for a title in a higher classifcation, much less make the 3rd round. NONE.
Furthermore, alot of 'big' schools out east are so weak they should play down in class.

Come on Chopper. Wrh does not fill there schedules with cream puffs. Only reason they played Trask is they are in conference. They have played and beaten the New Hanovers and Hoggards. When they were good. They schedule teams like WF and Havelock and Northside because they tell us how good we are. But yes WRH is a huge underdog in this game. So that’s why I am calling them David. Maybe one day WRH and Shelby will hook up.
I could care less about schools in other states. You twisted cause Shelby lost. The only thing we can do is line up and play. Chopper,why you hatin so much?
Trask is not in the same conference as Wallace. Clinton and Wallace are in the same conference.
I didn't say WRH was bad(they're one of the better 2A schools out east), even if they hooked up with Shelby it would still be an L. Shelby(Lord of the Flies) has the depth of a small 4A school because of the number of kids they get to come out to play along with complex offensive scheme and a defense that is designed to shut down the run. Most schools in your area rarely see that on a regular basis so it's harder to deal with in a game for you, hence your low percentage of wins when you reach the title games. After seing the Lord of the Flies get demolished this week you should all know your place.
Why do you keep forcing me to be a lion fan. I'm not, but your inconspicuous jealousy of them shows. It BURNS you that you're not legendary statewide/nationwide like Reidsville and Shelby are. You all would lose to Burns and Reidsville(you got lucky once, they would beat you 9 times out of 10) the same way and I'm not a fan of those teams either.
Furthermore I wouldn't be surprised if you lost to Clinton this year. You all come from 1A and think you're gonna win multiple titles. I told you when you first got to 2A it wouldn't happen. Get used to the disappointments till your numbers drop again and y ou can beat your chest over there with Tarboro and their dillusional fans.
Matter of fact somebody from your conference or Northeasternn will most likely send your glorified JV squad home.
Not the team they were the last two years but still very good. Fundamentally sound, tackle well, great special teams. Lucas will make you earn every point.
Wrh can be competitive in this game. But just based on the Havelock game, I don't think they have the team that won states a few years ago, now that team with jervontae Williams would have been a load. But I still feel like wrh will be a 3rd round team in 2a at least.
I don't know if they have the team chemistry, like they did with Williams, but I am positive they have the athletes or quality of I should say.
Northeastern is so far away in distance from the rest of the good 2a teams, you never know how good they are until eastern finals. WRH just by the way the playoffs are set up will be in eastern finals. I want to guarantee a finals, but like I said, "you cannot determine how good NE is until playoff time" they just don't have good 2a competition out there way. SWO,Clinton, James Kenan, East Bladen are all relatively close to each other. If they don't play each other in regular season they will play the same team at least. Every now and again Kinston or Goldsboro is descent (most of time they are not as good advertised).
WRH is good this year, they beat a really good Northside team. I haven't seen Havelock this year, but from board discussions they are pretty good. Not like Havelock blew WRH out.
East 2a will represent this year very well. Reidsville or Shelby vs WRH or Northeastern, will be your 2a finals.
Man you are twisted. You take every team against WRH you bound to be right sometimes. I'm good tho. Bash all you want. WRH doesn't look like the team that will win the East. We got the talent so I think they can get there. Right now Northeastern is definately the Team. I know WRH going to get everyone's best shot. If y'all get WRH's best shot the dogs can beat everyone in 2a. If the dogs don't oh well. I'll move on. There a hole lot of braggadishous going on more than what I do.
You can not beat everyone in 2A with your one dimensional best shot. Take your glorified freshman team and have a seat in the kiddie chair with the other glorified JV teams.
Y'all good JamesDavis06. People can't argue the Eagles schedule this year
Jealous of what? You're 2A, this is like messing with the little chicken hawk from the old fog horn leg horn reruns
You would have tell me what. You got jokes. Good one! See how you can be if you just settle down a little.
Game would probably b closer first wk in dec. We banged up and definitely not on the top of our game. Could be close, but i dont think so. We ll learn from it and begin to hone our craft for conference play.
I've gained a ton of more respect for NE over the years. My point was 2a in the east from SW Onslow, Clinton to Duplin county has most of the 2a east powerhouses so you have a good gage on those teams because they play each other or the same opponent. NE you have no idea what your up against until playoff time. I am not downing NE at all. You can go to Greensboro quicker than making it to Elizabeth City for allot of the east. NE is just in a location most of the 2a schools are not going to see until playoff time.
Rumor is that Northeastern will become part of the VHSAA in the future. We are trying to break away from the NCHSAA. We will be joining the powerhouses from the 757. Coach is having a hard time getting any of the 2a powers in the east to schedule us. He has even offered to travel on his dime with the other teams not having to promise a home and home
This x1000. If anyone thinks NE scheduling a team like indian river is because they won't schedule or travel to "powerhouse" teams in the 2A east is hard to follow in my opinion. Goobs is correct here, its definately the other way around. Coach Moore will burn the phones up. Not hard to find an example, As soon as Havelock and Dillon was cancelled coach Moore was working the phone line because he knew this was another chance to test his team. It would be interesting to know if any other teams tried to schedule Havelock for their bye. I also think it's the other way around about NE not knowing what they are up against in the 2A east. LOL. I believe the 2A east doesn't know what it's up against when it comes to NE this year. NE will take your teams strength and take it away from you. Then beat you with their team using your strength. Just to subtly rub it in. NE is that versatile as a team this year from what I've witnessed. Don't take my word for it... just ask Rocky Mount.

Dang Bud, I never thought of it like that but you are absolutely correct. If I didn't know any better I'd think you were a coach yourself
