Does Hord also play cornerback? I remember seeing some footage of his play against Page where had a couple of interceptions, I think. He's not a big guy, but I think he makes up for it with his instincts and athleticism.
Western Alamance still spanked that tail to take the championship! It was a great catch though!
A win is a win and that's why you compete. Obvious from the 7on7 though you stop CJ you beat Northern. Not saying that is an easy thing to do though. Western has some incredible weapons including the big RB who also catches the ball out of the backfield (and only a junior) a lot as well as the sophomore kid playing receiver this year that was the JV QB last year. He caught both the td for Western as well as a conversion. He is going to be a name to watch the next 3 years. Probably move him back to QB next year.

A long ride in the season to determine this conference out. Athletic depth should not be a problem for western this year, the biggest concern I have is size up front. That will be the biggest hurdle to jump as we do not have a lot of size.
Unfortunately, you can never count out ole' Roscoe cause he can always find a way to get around the rules to get what he needs. Like I always said the best private school coach there is coaching in the public school league. Love to see what kind of job he could do if he actually coached the kids that came through his pathetic JV teams!
There is no doubt that it goes on. Just look at their JV teams then what the varsity puts on the field 2 years later. It's pretty much a joke. Their JV team last year was, well let's just be nice and say they maybe would have been competitive in a middle school league. You will never see them be that non-competitive at the varsity level. The one thing I guess I can give them credit for is they are good at getting players there. I don't know if they are doing it legally or not but everyone knows it goes on and it's really just a big joke in our area and conference now. I think the kids maybe moving legally in the district but I doubt they are just coming in for the education. I'll leave it at that!
That's a shame too, but what you have stated is pretty much what I've also heard. Your comments about last year's JV team validates what I've also been told.
I won't discredit the program itself because some of the players will be reading this board and will think I'm calling them cheats. Far from it. Coach Roscoe and some of his staff have done a tremendous job at Northern, and I do believe they do develop their talent as well as anyone. However, I do question who or whom is getting them this nice pool of talent.
Wrong! NW Focuses so much on their JV because they don't have Superstar D-1 Players moving in so they have to take the time and develop each player. If they don't they won't stand a chance when they get to the Varsity level. Plus if you ever came around a NW practice you would hear their coaches telling the JV kids that those JV wins are great but mean nothing if you lose on Friday so I don't really know of anyone boasting about JV Football over there. Also at NW practice the Varsity coaches coach the 4th string JV WR just as hard as the 1st string Varsity WR. When you say it didn't carry over to the Varsity.....NW finished in the top 5 of the 4AA 2 years ago and was knocked out by Mallard Creek. I think they are doing a great job over there at getting it to carry over to Friday night they just don't have the 10 D-1 players in 5 season like Roscoe has had. People in Guilford County forget just how bad NW was for so long. Before Coach Woodruff and his staff got there they were going 1-10 just like Smith now they are in the running every year for a Conference title. Yes, they haven't won State Championships like Northern but there is some quality Football being coached and played at NW Guilford"There is no doubt that it goes on. Just look at their JV teams then what the varsity puts on the field 2 years later. It's pretty much a joke.

You could not be more wrong. NG has never paid much attention to its JV teams. If you look back you will see lots of losses at the JV level. I remember a year when NW scored 53 points on them! NG focuses on the varsity ....the JV is an after thought. I know of times when the JV first got together to run plays and defense the wednesday before a thursday night game. Talk to some of the parents over there about that and they will confirm. NW for instance focuses heavy on the JV and boast about them not losing a game for 3 or 4 years...but it did'nt carry over to the Varsity. As far as I'm concerned Roscoe likes for the opponent to see the JV in a negative light as they may take the Varsity light....and so far whatever it is....works.

That might be the dumbest thing I've ever read.
You speak of transferring as if it is illegal. It is not. Northern is the most scrutinized school in this area. Those who transfer do it by the book. These parents make sacrifices to move their child into the northern district. Nothing illegal about that. Remember this when the illegal students were found none of them were football players. So stop trying to say because we win in football something illegal must be going on.That is the most ridiculous argument I have ever heard about Northern's JV team. Maybe they don't put much focus on them, I'm not there every day so I can't dispute that. But the reason he doesn't is because Roscoe knows he does not have to depend on many of those guys to play on Friday nights so why waste time coaching them up. If they have talent he just moves them up to varsity so they can get coached. He knows he can get kids to transfer in to fill the holes he needs. Come on, just look at his rosters since he has been there and how many of his better players actually transferred in. I know Northern people like to think they are clean and do things the right way but come on, how stupid do they think the rest of us are. Say what you want but your track record speaks for itself.
if you think those were my words then the dumbest thing is the fact that you can't tell when someone quotes someone words on this forum. Those were not my words. Look back.

Correct! Transferring is not illegal....What is illegal is when it's the assistant coaches and private trainers who are non faculty that are contacting kids and selling what the faculty coaches are saying. "If player X was at Northern player X would be a starting DB". So yes that is sort of against the rules. When they opened Northern Guilford pulled kids from NW Guilford and NE Guilford in the history of those 2 schools they never had the type of talent that has been at Northern the last 5 years. That talent is being pulled in from all points of the Triad area. The real kids that live in that area are the ones with the exception of a few that are getting blown out on those JV teams that Mr Roscoe doesn't feel the need to coach.You speak of transferring as if it is illegal.

What a prissy comment...there's no mention of where you quoting your source, so good job you Polly Pissy Pants, you have just plagiarized someone else. I do know that the first paragraph, which I agree with, wasn't from you. My comment was regarding the second paragraph...which was mostly likely from you, and was pretty dumb.
Once again troll, that's about the dumbest thing I've ever read. Don't you have some recruiting for Northern Guilford to do?
Usually the dumbest people are the ones calling other people dumb! Apparently you make your point by name calling instead of using some form of logic and reasoning. what you know about NG might fit on the head of an ant. if any of you had any hard evidence of NG recruiting I'm sure you would have pulled a southeast by now. So shut up and win at 7 on 7 cause you cant win when the clock is running and it really counts.
Yeah, WA is the 7 on 7 champions......excellent basketball on grass players.....turn the clock on and watch them .......well you know .....right! Hah LM multiple state championship ...and smug....AO!
first respect from around the state. ...lots of that on the field....on boards like this who cares they are just people's opinions, that and a $1 will get you a cup of coffee. ..second NG has not tried to build a tradition of winning, that has been accomplished. .....next. ..you say we have 1 to 3 D1 athletes each year, how many are on the field at a time? where do you think the others come from. ...the JV! and they do a mighty fine job too wouldn't you say? you know about our transfers because we win with them but other schools get transfers as well but if you don't win no one cares what you do. If you look at dudley they get kids every year that enroll in the academy so they can play there and that too is legal. Warhead is the only one of you that actually seems to know anything about the NG program, the rest are just guys tired of losing to us each year and need to find a reason beyond what happens on the field of play... the time is coming when you will get your opportunity to gloat over your win over NG but for now buckle up tight cause it's going to be a bumpy road ahead!
WAFootballer, NG JV doesn't matter because they are horrible and because they only recruit for the varsity.
His entire argument is pathetic. NG doesn't care about JV because they don't recruit JV players. If they didn't recruit, they would think about installing pride and character with that squad. The 2014 team was great, but they had no class whatsoever in the state finals. Northern Fuilford should have been embarrassed, but good sportsmanship means nothing to them.[/
Earnhardt Forever that is 100% truth. He even says it himself that they don't even work with the JV's and I have also heard that from some of the parents over there. If you aren't recruiting for your big time players on varsity don't most schools coach up the JV kids so they become ready for varsity. Furthermore, where do these kids come from that just 'show up' on varsity. Their track record speaks for itself. It's public school not private school!
Typical Northern Guilford fan answer. You guys live in your own little world over there trying to justify all the crap you guys pull off. You think people respect your team? Yes people respect the kids on the field playing the game no doubt. Your kids have been proven winners for years now. What people don't respect and find a joke are your administrators and especially your football coaches. They are the adults and supposed leaders of these young men and look at the example they set. Obviously, you guys are ok with it so fine, who am I to question the ethics that you want your young people to learn. Bend the rules to come out on top. Fine with me like I said. I would rather my son learn the value of hard work to achieve a goal. To each his own I guess. I'd rather win with class than be viewed as a joke and cheater. Btw, if you are counting on your JV's to contribute the next couple of years you are in for a couple long season's. Will see what ole' Roscoe puts on the field the next couple years. I'll be shocked if more than a third of them were JV contributor's. If they are good luck winning more than 2 games! lol
Earnhardt does manage an outside crap house and I don't mean a place where people might go to gamble!
OK what do you call it when a team gets together for 30 minutes a practice and then goes out on Thursdays to play a game? What are the odds for success? Other programs will have entire practices where the JV is working together mom thru we'd to become a team. say what you want but it is what it is. as coach says I don't know anyone that gets fired for losing on Thursdays! and he is right! We at NG know this recruiting thing will never go away until people who can't beat us start beating us. So until then feel good blaming your loses on recruiting and not coaching and execution on the field of play. And by the way this year's seniors are the same ones that WA lost to in
double OT when they were freshman. ...and that group got the same treatment as the JV group last year did.... ..
