Always thought the 2010- 17 group really took the weight room development to a new level in Charlotte. They looked very much like grown men when they walked on the field. LJ played a huge role in that as did others.
Agree 100% on that. MC did well with homegrown QBS. Once they became a one year QB transfer destination they fell off. Many times they had a JV guy moving up or a backup on varsity that had been in the program.
Looking back at 2018. We should've stuck with Jayden Washington who got us to the State Champion game the previous year. Casey Kelly was a TE, attempting to play QB. Which he has been throughout his collegiate career.
Hindsight, When he came in from NY it was QB all the way. Kelly was not playing TE at MC.
Always thought the bye in the first round really hurt in several of those metch ups.
I didn’t anticipate that conference being that good. In 2010 Mallard Creek was clearly the best team while everyone else was average. Hough was trying to get things rolling and Chambers was an average football program at the time. Five or six years later that conference was loaded with really good teams with really good talent which is difficult to beat twice. Traditionally that portion of Charlotte/Mecklenburg wasn’t good in football but great in basketball.
Yo, so, how many Championship shiny trophies has been gotten by this conference since 2010?
PAC may be getting bored after the way they dominated 1-A the past few years. There was one year where they won the first playoff game by forfeit because the other team was afraid for their players’ safety on the field! Scheduling harder nonregion games gives them something else to work for. The alternative would have been petitioning to move to a higher classification, but that would impact all sports and they may not be as dominant in other sports.
7 title appearances
Several for sure but I think maybe you missed my point, i wasn’t knocking the conference.
Unstoppable Conference. They need to embrace every little accomplishment and be proud of how far they have come. Not only that but they need to continue shining, striving, winning!
Toughest conference in the state of NC. I’m a Vance/Chambers man for life but I’d love to see West Charlotte win 3A and Hough or Creek win 4 if my Cougars don’t. Will be saying the same about basketball soon. North Meck just won their 2nd state championship in 4 years and Chambers will have one of the best junior classes on the east coast. Best conference hands down.
Also WC won a ship and lost a ship in 4A within past 5 years. Conference is an absolute beast
Butler should perform well or at least a lot better than last year.
Better than last year means a title in my opinion. They beat a top 25 team in the nation (at the time) Hughes, Weddington (eventual champs) and Independence during the regular season. They won conference and was a game away from the west finals. They definitely have a tough schedule and I am curious how they will look with the coaching change.
For the record @nepsy7 nickname for us of NASA interns still fits! Lol
