Favorites in the West and East

So, you are sure he will be playing for Cummings this fall?

I have no idea. I know he’s still at Cummings as of now. But I have no inside knowledge on his situation. If I were betting on the situation, I would say he’s likely gone. They don’t have much returning for him
 
I'm just seeing this thread. I'm really not hearing anything. I did see that our field goal kicker went to a camp and won the kicking competition. Nailed a 52 yarder. We should be solid at kicking for another season. Going to hate seeing him graduate.
I been building a deck at the pool for the wife and daughter. I need a gofundme account setup so you guys can help a poor guy out!!!
You’re buying lumber? You didn’t tell me you were rich. 🤣🤣🤣
 
Got to keep the family happy. I've spent a ton on a 8x16 deck. But I'm building a ramp also so my dad can come out with us. 1700.00 in composite decking boards. I hope to have some left over I can return.
The composite decking is worth the expense. I'm having to get handrails put on all our steps so my Mother-in-law can come down to our pool.

Life changes quick. You never know if tomorrow you or I may need them. Another reason I decided on the ramp.

North Pitt being in the top 10 in the east, and SWE in the top 50 overall discredits this entire publication lol.

Last time we played North Pitt ( last year I think) they had athletes but I thought their coaching put them in a hole. They didn't want to kick on 4th down and just gave us too many opportunities. With their athletes I felt they should punt and play for field position. They were not an easy team to beat.

Just curious?

North Pitt isn't a program that comes to mind when thinking of football. They had a few decent teams in the late 90s, but even those teams were never a threat to make a deep playoff run. When you think of North Pitt, you should think of 4-7. They did do ok for themselves last season. Hell, they beat the brakes off of us 28-0, but unless I'm missing something, they are NOT a top ten team in the east. I can spit out 15-20 teams in one breath that should be above them.

Forest Hills will be a sleeper in the West this season. Freshman class from 2 years ago are rising juniors and had one of the top 2024 QBs in the area transfer in. Offensive line will take some time to gel, but the team should be very competitive.

No. Have they made a coaching change or something? They had a good running back that could pound you all night long. But going for it on 4th and long and giving us a 30 yard field?? Made no sense.

I can't disagree with what you are saying. I'm just stating that from what I saw talent was not their problem.
 
Yes sir. Me too. Clinton almost always plays good in the pound. Kinda like when the Tar Heels goes to Cameron. Come on 04, tells us a little bout dem Darkhorses.
Won’t say much don’t wanna get accused of starting a “hype train” lol. Team has had a productive offseason so far a lot kids have been in the weight room and practice field since the winter. Did a lot of team building stuff including kids helping clean and repaint field house. Participation has been good from what I hear good group out during Spring practice. Return basically everyone on defense except 1-2 most of them were sophomores and freshman last season. Old d coordinator returned aswell expect defense to be a total 360 from last season. Offense biggest ??? will be oline lost 4 of 5 starters to graduation but return 3 with starting experience. Talented sophomore athlete takes over QB. WR core will be strong. 2 talented transfers coming in a DE/TE Jr and a 1,000 yard WR also a JR. Team had first 7 on 7 this morning vs Greys Creek was told they faired well.

Wouldn’t it be a 180 DH34? LoL just busting your chops.

Much like 34 said, we have some talent returning. A transfer or two. More kids than I can ever remember attending college camps this offseason. Old DC came back. Exciting times in Clinton But we won’t know what we truly have till the pads and lights are on . I can’t wait for the season though.

Man you can’t use the word “exciting” the trolls up here will accuse you of over hyping and bragging……even tho all you said was exciting 😂😂😂. Kind of hard navigating the new NC preps it’s why I haven’t posted much lately.

You still in FL?
Clinton still holding closed practice?

Hope Clinton will get back to their old ways.

Sounds like your darkhorses gonna sling it and have the athletes to do it. I think the WRH game will be a great matchup so early in season. I’m told that our dogs are really working on defending passing attacks and think we have the athletes to play high level on defense.

Seems we have aired it out alil more each year under Johnson. Week 2 will be a good measuring stick game early in the season I mean going against the defending eastern champs and heavily favored to repeat should tell us where we are at. Hate that I have to root against a family member that game hope he has a successful rest of the season tho sorry @Orangecrush95 lol
 
So nobody in the east has a chance huh? 😆

I think Shelby has tougher teams than WRH to think about.

I think Burns, Monroe, and maybe Reidsville/Maiden will have alot to say this season.
I'm a big of a bulldog fan as you'll find, but I'm putting it out there right now. East Duplin and James Kenan will be in the mix this year also, particularly East Duplin. They return almost everybody from a team that came up 1 yard short last year of beating us in the 3rd round. Just saying, no cake walk for Wallace Rose Hill. Neck and neck imo.

You right olddog. Kind of funny, a few years ago JK fans said they had no talent and none coming up. They’ve always had athletes
 
hello all, WRH will have their hands full in the east this year, ED, Clinton will be very good as always, ED returns practically everyone. Clinton is always good. JK will be a question mark, them losing All purpose player in Andrew Pender will be tough. Looking forward to cool Friday nights again.

Cool friday nights is right, air so thick today I'm chewing it
 
Yeah, maybe
Don’t know if you caught the Berlanga fight on ESPN last weekend, my first time watching him, and he was trash, in my opinion. He even tried to bite the guy. The judges had those lopsided scores, when I’m thinking the fight should have been a draw. 16 knockouts in 19 fights, he obviously fought nothing but scrubs. I was totally unimpressed, and disliked his attitude. He was frustrated that the guy was going toe to toe with him, and he couldn’t knock him out.
