Guilford County off-season news

[Warhead1]

I wanted to start a thread for any off-season news. Such as coaches and players moving.

Being a NWG fan for probably longer than most people on here have been alive. I'll go ahead and get the rumor mill going now that football is officially over..... This came from a credible source inside the school..... with that said, it is being rumored, former east forsyth defensive coordinator coach Beal has been spotted in the football office's at NWG HS. Could the Vikings bring Beal back to NW Guilford?

Does anyone have anymore information this?

NWG seems like a pretty good job. I get the impression they have good attendance at their games and nice community support. But there seems to be a 2nd round of the playoffs type ceiling there. Even when the Vikings are good, I don't recall them making any especially deep playoff runs. Seems like they don't have the athletes and talent there to compete with the more elite 4A West teams come playoff time. Though, with the new alignment, I assume they'll be 7 or 8A? Not that that will make the playoffs any easier.

2013 the Vikings finished top 5 in 4AA after beating East Forsyth, Page, & Richmond county. They then went to Mallard Creek and lost to the eventual state champs. I think that's best team in school history.

IMO, NWG could be a powerhouse. They have more money than any public school in the triad area. If you get the right coaches it could be like Grimsley in a few years. They will need bigger facilities and transfers but if you build it the kids will come. I've seen NW with their same demographics beat the best teams in Guilford and Forsyth. Get a couple big time players in that school and sky's the limit

They care more about the halftime show than the game.

Guilford Co. does not have open enrollment, does it? If so, they probably cannot depend on getting too many talented transfers to NWG. Though, I know kids and their parents always find ways around this, unfortunately. I wonder how many kids on Grimsley's team should be going to other Guilford Co. high schools? And with the machine Grimsley has going now, it seems like they will be the destination for most all the talented transfer players. Until they start to fall off and another county teams takes their place. But it is tough to see that happening anytime soon unless their coach decides to move on.

Some schools get transfers for "academic programs" and thats how they circumvent the rules.

Not sure they have more money than Grimsley? Or maybe Grimsley just spends wayyy more on their facilities

 

[Incognito75]

In Guilford County certain schools can get the transfers because of the "academic programs". This is always a loop hole that they can use. That's how they get transfers to come without moving into their zone. NW Guilford really doesn't have any "academic program" to draw students there.

Does Grimsley have an "academic program" that some have used to justify transferring there? And if a football player transfers there under the guise of wanting to be in that "academic program", does the school system follow up to make sure that student does indeed take part in that academy?

They can take a day or 2 of classes and decide they dont want to do the program anymore.

This is true

 

[fitguync30]

If that happens, that student should be required to go back to the high school in their district. If that means a talented football player has to go back to Western Guilford from Grimsley, so be it.

Grimsley is the team to beat. Outside of them who's next in Guilford County? I will go with Northern. They return a Senior heavy team in 25

Should make some noise

Dudley

Dudley is on the decline as a program. They will not only be losing a strong senior class, but a significant portion of their coaching staff has moved to Northeast, taking some of their best returning players with them. The JV team also wasn’t as talented or successful as it has been in recent years. It’s disappointing for fans because we’re finally going to see them play Grimsley, a matchup that should have happened between 2019 and 2023 when both teams were strong. I mentioned a few years ago that by the time the game actually takes place, it wouldn’t be the same. It will now be Grimsley, then Northern next year, who should compete for or win the 6A title, followed by everyone else. Northern would have given Weddington a better game in defeat if they hadn’t lost their quarterback at the end of the season.

Much of the Dudley coaching staff has gone to NEGHS? Why? Not much football tradition there as far as I know and not much recent success. I am sure the fan and community support is much better at Dudley than at NEGHS.

Their OC, who many believed would become the next HC at Dudley, took the head coaching job at NE instead. Half of the coaching staff followed him, and some returning starters are making the move as well. Its not just about the school; its about the coaching staff, which has the potential to turn NE into a powerhouse. With their leadership, they’re re poised to turn things around.

But Guilford County doesn’t have open enrollment?

Technically, kids don’t have the freedom to choose their schools, but they often go where they want, and this happens in every county across the state. The extent to which this is allowed can vary depending on the area, with some places cracking down more than others. In Charlotte, students do move around, but it’s not on the same scale as a team like Grimsley, which can draw talent from a much larger area as much as they want. This is why teams in Charlotte may have a strong run for a few years before it fades, while Grimsley can remain dominant for much longer, with kids coming in from all over the triad from Winston to Burlington every year, often with little resistance, as long as the coaching staff stays in place.

Grimsley success has not been going on that long to be honest…..maybe 8 years? And 2 state titles I believe?

From Winston to Burlington ? That's a big pile of BS. Without naming names, exactly how many athletes have come to Grimsley from either location ?
P.S. I think you have some " Triad ties, " but you're basically, in your own words, a " Charlotte dude. "
P.S.S. Are you related to Mister Honda ?
