Hey Creek, what is your source for the Top 15 West/East games? It is not Grizzly. It is not last year's playoff seedings. Is it Simmons? MaxPreps? Deana King? The Sombrero wearing Colonel Sanders?
😂😂😂😂Max Preps final ranking from last year.
Don’t be talking smack about the sombrero wearing Colonel Sanders.
We ran KFC outta town and changed it to a Mexican place….they got the coldest Dos Equis in town. 😜

I think reidsville vs western alamance deserves some eyes too 😂😂
I have heard stories of Harland Sanders being nice. However, I used to workout with a guy and he told me a story that when he was younger he worked as a fry cook and was selected as one of the best KFC cooks in the 1970s. He got to meet the Colonel and Colonel Sanders yelled at him for cooking the chicken wrong.
LHSfaninVA, the colonel might be grouchy because of his name, Harland. Give me a break... Speaking of chicken, my father could fix the best fried chicken, I wish you could have tasted it. It would beat any of them. He was trained as a cook when he well, worked, for the state. On my solemn word it was the best I have eaten.
The best fried chicken I have ever eaten is in Oriental NC at Brantley's Restaurant. They have it on the all you can eat buffet on Thursdays. I'm telling you it's the best!
Some good games to start the season. I don't know what to expect from my Eagles. I know we are down some number wise. We'll see. West Carteret has always played us hard.
I'd love to see Pamlico County start the season with a win. New Coach Bobby Griffin with his first game there. He is a West Craven former player/Coach. I think he is gonna be low on numbers a bit also but they should improve in the next couple of years I was told. Kids will love Bobby.
Looks like:
St Pauls opens @ Metrolina Christian Academy
MCA finished 10-2 last year….ranked 140 in NC just behind Holmes and Rocky Mt.
Might be a good game….I’m not putting a set of eyes on it though. 😜
I think St. Paul’s is gonna be pretty good….they got Baldwin.
Salisbury hosts West Rowan to start the season. This might be one heck of a ball game.
The Falcons beat a good North Lincoln team and lost respectably to Crest in the playoffs last year….finished 9th in Max Preps 3a West.
Can’t wait to see what the Hornets have.😉
Holmes opens with a bye. ugh!
….wondering which game their die hards will go see… Tarboro - Rocky Mt?….I would….of course I’ve never seen Tarboro play.
Holmes will host Rocky Mt. Week 3.
#1 why are you posting at this time of the day and #2 Tarboro has played in like the last 10 state championships, how did you miss seeing them?
Are you related to that Flash fellow out of Maiden or something?
Scrimmage game Wednesday. Not sure exactly but WRH, Whiteville, New Hanover, Hoggard. Catshratch, you hear anything
I heard it was Wallace, James Kenan, Hoggard, Laney and Whiteville, at Whiteville
I’m loving that!😂
Man….I was on the 3a board talking up North Gaston…how young they were, how CHASE struggled with them, etc etc….and I didn’t get one bite.
Narry, Nada, Nothing…..I agree with you….but nobody else seems to.
That’s good stuff!
I had to say something about NOGA. I have quite a few relatives that went there.
I hated going down there sometimes. Because when I came back, and I told people I was in Dallas, people were like "Did you see J. R. ?" "How's J.R. doin'?"
I was on the phone and my sister had taken a job in Dallas. My wife overheard me and was like when did your sister move to Dallas? I explained that Dallas is basically next to Lincolnton and don't get me started on Denver and Vale (Vail).
Do you know the mascot for the old Dallas High School?
He has numbers up. Over 40 Kids, which is pretty good at Pamlico. He recruited the hallways hard and 8th graders at the middle school. Definitely a motivator.
Yea he has gotten off on a good start. I never thought our numbers would fall as much as they have at West Craven. We are liable to fall to 1A.
Has ADM fallen off or are kids not coming out for football?
I think Dallas High was the yellow jackets. People in High Shoals which is mostly in Gaston County and little in Lincoln County had a choice of Lincolnton or Dallas. I've known a couple people who were alumni, there. To my memory Dallas never played LHS but played Cherryville.
William Friday, first president of the UNC system was a Dallas High Grad.

It was Yellow Jackets....but my understanding is before that...the old mascot was quite offensive.
I know they were called the Yellow Jackets. Were they something else before that?
Black Devils .... but that was way way before my time.
@Maiden Creek @GrizzlyDevil good luck to your Devils this season.
Thanks! Goob…same goes for your Eagles.
It’s good to see ya back…Brother!😉 Hoping all is well with you and yours.
