I just wanted all four of yall to have a place to discuss GC football.Come on man!
There are teams in the state whose player transfers are much much worse than Cleveland and Gaston counties. Parents today have more education, resources, and skin in the game when it comes helping their children obtain their goals/dreams. Parents today are financing trainers, camps, sports nutrition to assist their child so why wouldn’t they look at where that child is playing? Parents transfer their kids for all sorts of reasons. As far as my knowledge I cannot recall any kids with college offers or all state accolades ever transferring into a Cleveland County school. This is happening in other counties in NC as we speak. From the mountains to the coast.What he said is true. 4 HS in the county. Shelby...that's a whole other discussion they are cheating on top of cheating. 1 HS for that whole city? Come on man.
I don't hate CC football. I used to admire it greatly....less and less these days though. All this is... is a carry over from where it started: youth sports and AAU basketball. Look at those fine institutions and where things have ended up. NFL and college football and basketball are about ruined. Youth sports is about ruined. Now HS - the last hope....is getting ruined. Just wait...in 10-12 years there will be 4-5 teams in the state each year that yall can just play round robin with until the "state championship".
It's just not impressive to anybody if a couple guys who aren' t good enough to make their HS team much better where they WERE....jump ship to be a small part of a semi-recruited team at any unnamed, undisclosed CC football program. That's the way the world feels at least. Much like Crest's 2003 State title (with an asterisk) - that has become CC football the last 5-6 years.
I agree, I think many here get the two mixed up and smear names for no reason which is unfortunate. If their paperwork is good why complain? Crest, KM, and Shelby have all lost kids who were going to be key pieces to their teams this upcoming year to transfer. You have to keep moving forward regardless.I honestly have no quarrels with transfers if done the right way. If parents want to move into a district that allows their son/daughter an advantage to lengthen their playing career; I'm all for it. Big difference in recruiting and transferring.
You lost me right there. The whole city? They are the smallest school in the county.What he said is true. 4 HS in the county. Shelby...that's a whole other discussion they are cheating on top of cheating. 1 HS for that whole city? Come on man.

KM has held the redbone in check the past few years. The KM-SP battles have been extremely physical in the trenches the past few years.11 HS vs. 4 HS..... you should be drastically better. Still can't stop the option.
He is trying to say that Shelby is to big population wise to be the smallest school but the poster doesn't realize district lines that have been drawn for decades makes it that way. Higher population don't always equate to more school age population.You lost me right there. The whole city? They are the smallest school in the county.
But conventional wisdom would suggest so. Shelby isn't quite the retirement destination.He is trying to say that Shelby is to big population wise to be the smallest school but the poster doesn't realize district lines that have been drawn for decades makes it that way.

Shelby is definitely an older adult town in my opinion. Mainly established jobs for people that has been there for years and not alot of new created jobs. Plus Shelbys isn't getting the Charlotte overflow yet. The main thing still is the way district lines were drawn when it was 3 systems in the county. For Shelby, you had to stay inside of the city limits and some of the growing areas with neighborhoods in Shelby, were not inside the city limits.But conventional wisdom would suggest so.

2023 Census indicates that 59.7% of Shelby's residents are between 5 and 54.Shelby is definitely an older adult town in my opinion.

Yeah.. but what % of school age that stays in Shelby zone. That's the main thing.2023 Census indicates that 59.7% of Shelby's residents are between 5 and 54.
Yeah just imagine how good we would be if all those students bussed by Shelby to go to Crest actually came to Shelby...Crest buses drive by shelby high school in every direction. We put trailers in the parking lots because we're out of room. They keep their numbers low on purpose so they can beat up on inferior opponents and beat their chests and say "look what we did." They had a great game plan, only problem is Daddy Reidsville said, "not so fast my friend."

Crest was 4a because the population across NC and all the new schools weren't built or at capacity. I'm not sure, but what has been Crest largest enrollment number? Guessing, maybe 1600-1800,dare to say possibility 2000, which is still alot less of these new mega size schools. I know the lines had been redrawn for the younger grades at one time but wasn't sure about the middle and high schools lines redrawn. I know at one point, the Shelby controlled school board lost some influence after being voted out after the merger disaster.The lines have been drawn over and over again.
Crest at one time was 4A and there weren’t but 4 classifications. Crest was getting kids from Elizabeth at the time that drove right past Shelby on the way to school.
Your synopsis is also obviously riddled with inaccuracies. Someone is making these football players every year and it isn’t old people like me.
Plenty of work around here. The problem is Government bums.
Shelby’s school numbers are 2A the football team its is 4A.
SHELBY isn’t coming up on their own. They’ll be forced or it isn’t happening. But, they’ll play anybody OOC at the beginning of the year.
However, they want all them ROODY POO rings they can get.
I do understand they're the smallest school in CC and I do know the district lines have been drawn for decades that way......by Shelby-controlled groups.He is trying to say that Shelby is to big population wise to be the smallest school but the poster doesn't realize district lines that have been drawn for decades makes it that way.

lmao! Everybody knows but they pretending nobody knows. I keep getting told I "make stuff up" .... when it's known in all the AAU and youth circles. People get approached from age 10 to 17 constantly and it's always from a certain region.Yeah just imagine how good we would be if all those students bussed by Shelby to go to Crest actually came to Shelby...
How you gonna talk smack when Recruiting central High over in Boiling Spgings have kids coming from
Shelby
Gaffney
Gastonia
Kings Mountain
Rutherford County
Burns
AND most daddies end up with a job all the sudden....
Our numbers are low cause yalls coaches keep their sticky fingers in the "Hey come here" pot.... Get outta town Champ lol
EDIT: but yeah Reidsville did lay a whoopin on us last year
Gaston County- The county where many of them hate Cleveland County football teams and do not allow Cleveland County teams to live stream games for fans that can’t make it to games because GC supposedly need every dime in gate revenue that is generated from the Cleveland County teams coming to town lol

Again you are completely unaware of what’s going on in your own county and with your own football program even more. Hilarious. Run back and talk to the breakfast club some more. If recruiting is so prevalent as “everyone” knows then tell me why it’s only GC being recruited? What about the other surrounding cities and counties? By your logic we should have York, Cherokee, and Gaston County kids on the roster because KM touches all three counties. Like I stated prior the four programs in GC that complain about kids leaving after MIDDLE school and their freshmen years of high school for destinations outside of GC are the main ones recruiting and raiding each other’s players. Make it make sense. You are also unaware that GC are losing athletes to other locations besides CC but cry some more about what parents are doing lollmao! Everybody knows but they pretending nobody knows. I keep getting told I "make stuff up" .... when it's known in all the AAU and youth circles. People get approached from age 10 to 17 constantly and it's always from a certain region.
I think Crest hit around 1400 or so in early 2000's and went back up to 4A for 2005-2009. Really big class of kids came in for 2000-01 school year.Crest was 4a because the population across NC and all the new schools weren't built or at capacity. I'm not sure, but what has been Crest largest enrollment number? Guessing, maybe 1600-1800,dare to say possibility 2000,
Good grief. That’s good work but good grief. GC needs to get with itHere are some fun facts from the 2023 football season:
Cleveland County 21 wins and 0 losses against Gaston County
Cleveland County points in matchups scored 1,060
Gaston County points scored 176
Cleveland County point avg vs Gaston County 50.4 - 8.3
Gaston County was shutout 9 times in the 21 game matchups
Gaston County was held below 7pts in 16 out of the 21 head to head matchups
Cleveland County (12-0) in the Big South Conference vs Gaston County 45.5pts to 8.9pts per game
It’s uglier than we could have imagined 😳
Looking like Rutherford County more and more every year.Good grief. That’s good work but good grief. GC needs to get with it
Cleveland County doing more for a Gaston County thread than Gaston County.
That one dude is constantly 💩 on Cleveland County. Now, everyone knows why. He doesn’t have anything else to do. His own County needs a huge enema.Cleveland County doing more for a Gaston County thread than Gaston County.
The Burns district runs way down 18 south below Ingles and even to me I think that is a little closer to Shelby than Burns. Our lines in this county look pretty wild.One of the Shelby guys was complaining that Crest students ride a bus that drives right in front of Shelby high school to go to Crest. They also mentioned some Burns students living in Shelby limits but a Burns district.
