Whats all this Cleveland county football talk in a Haywood County football thread? It is widely known that the teams in that area often are who teams have to go through to win state or even regional championships. Shelby in 2A is automatic state qualifier most years, The best team at the high school level I ever saw was the one from South Point a few years back that beat Asheville so badly in the snow. Crest wins titles at the 4a 3a and whatever level. It is also true that mountain teams do not often compete well with these teams. Having said all of this, would I trade locations to have better football teams? No offense, but NO WAY! This Pisgah Tuscola game will very likely outdraw the Crest Shelby, Crest Burns, or Crest whoever else games. Not just this year, but ANY year, whatever their record(s) going into the game.
