Why you even comment Elkin hasn’t been relevant in over 15 years. Go sell some candy
Yeah come on prlyles, know the rules. No one can comment on a Green team/EW thread but MA folks. Oops just broke those rules. My bad.
Good luck to both the Green and Red on Friday night. Think it can be a good game. I think some folks are underestimating how he green team’s ability to throw the ball. They just haven’t had to yet but they have some weapons.
Too bad the purple is now using the round ball instead of the football:
Go Mountaineers

I agree with you. Credit to EW for a good season and winning a couple of playoff games. In the past, it seems like even when EW had a good regular season they get thumped early on in the playoffs when they run into teams with more speed and athletes. So good for them on winning in the post season and playing after T-giving. But I think they get a reality check against MH. EW has some good teams for NW NC at times. But it seems like they simply don't have the speed, agility and athletes at that school to get super deep in the playoffs.
I don't look for EW to leave Burnsville with a W. Heritage will take care of business 42-20. EW is a good team and will definitely test them more than the first two playoff rounds.
Yes, but that is particularly true for teams in NW NC. The exceptions, of course, being MAHS and Starmount.
Elkin has 4 titles.. It holds some weight but not much.. it would be the same for women’s sports as well but it’s not… take Wilkes Central for instance.. yearly has more speed than any team you can mention in 1a most years.. but gets beat by good 1a teams perennially. So coaching plays as big a roll as anything in getting said athletes to perform. EW has had a few yrs they could have been 4th round.. maybe deeper.. but shoddy coaching and players defecting to neighboring schools 3 miles away.. won titles with the same ones that you mentioned weren’t athletic enough at EW🤣🤣🤣

Yes because "all of us Mt Airy fans" really hate any team that is not us! We certainly go out of our way to put down every other team!
NOT.
Prlyles, do you and about 10 to 15 other a-holes on here have a club that you pay dues to so you can just run off at the mouth all the time with hate-filled crap about Mt Airy? Then see who wins the pot.
I mean, really, you are so sad.
Why pryles we supposed to like you all talking down on us and love you guys in return then you guys don't Yea there is something in water up here something your poor Elks haven't had in years
While they have had strong regular seasons, the transition to playoff football can be stark, as the competition tends to be more intense and physically demanding,
You are right, and I think Wilkes Co. has 4 high schools even though it is not a huge county in terms of population. Though land wise, it is a larger county. I have wondered how an all star team from Wilkes Co. would do if they pulled the 30 or so of the best players from all four teams.
lol….i stopped by to read about EW and MH……looks like I was wrong!
Don't know EW that much, but I do know that it will be cold Friday in Burnsville. I think the high that day will be 38 degrees so that will definitely be a key as too who can handle it the best. Keys for heritage is stopping the big play and running the ball.
Cold weather is definitely gonna be a factor in this Friday's games. I'm sure that turnovers will be a factor with it
They will be a run first team that is perfectly happy taking half a quarter to score. But they do have potential to strike quickly. I would not suggest kicking to 24 in any situation. He has more than 1 return for a td this year. As has been mentioned you will not be impressed looking at the green team in warm ups. They are not very big in stature. But they are very fundamental in there approach to every aspect of the game. If I see one major weakness it is their kicking game.
Even though I have very very limited knowledge of EW sounds like both teams are similar in a lot of ways. If I could get off work in time I wouldn’t mind seeing this one. But alas I am not going to go to that hole and set next to that river as cold as it will be Friday. .
Go Mountaineers
When Heritage played against teams with a size advantage this season, they have showcased the ability to adapt and execute in their game plan effectively. I doubt EW will be able to match that level of execution. Their close calls in previous games might indicate a vulnerability that Heritage could take advantage of.
Heck some of those teams with a size advantage got absolutely wrecked like Chase for example no adaption needed lol
