Is there another team in the state of NC....or really the nation....that plays the #1, #2, and #6 ranked teams in the classification ABOVE them in their first 3 games to open the season?
2A Shelby played the #1 team in 3A Kings Mountain to a statistically even game except for one category. Turnovers were 4-1 in Kings Mountain's favor. Kings Mountain was led by a defensive front with one DE going to UNC, the other possibly to Georgia, and 2 interior lineman with offers from App amongst others. Possibly the best defensive line in the state over all classifications. Pretty hellacious task for a Sophomore QB in his first varsity start.
Next up is 3A #6 ranked AC Reynolds who lost in the 4th round of the 4A playoffs last year. (They may not be as good as advertised given they lost to 4A West Forsyth this past Friday 8-7.)
Then comes 3A #2 ranked Crest fresh off a win over 5A and 18 time SC State Champ, Gaffney.
What a gauntlet to start the season?!?!
