Mallard Creek football schedule

Dont think Coach Brand and Coach Littlejohn get enough credit for that time period at MC. Brand was super aggressive offensively and had that MC offense rolling. Without him they defaulted to the mauler type power run game. While effective, teams can catch on to it, and with no threat of a passing attack it makes them easier to defend when playing great teams or the 2nd matchup between teams. IE Hough, Chambers.

Also MC is in the most naturally talented areas in the state. They get players yearly. Not sure their talent pool gets discussed much, but its incredible.

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.
Biggest issue remains QB. They really haven't developed one in a decade. Chauncey, Kelly , Dirt all one year transfers. It's the biggest head scratcher with all the talent.

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.

Also the pod system really hurt MC IMHO. After the 15 ship MC was eliminated in the playoffs by a regular season opponent or ship rematch every time. Its hard beating a really good team especially a conference rival 2x n one year. Had these been regional finals it gives them time to fully prepare, and the revenge factor goes down some or they could lose. The Pod system was really unfair to MC

16. Butler rematch 2nd round
17. Wake Forest SHip rematch from prior years
18. Hough after dominating Hough regular season 2nd round after playing two weeks prior
19. Chambers 2nd round
21 Lost to Hough 2x
22. Hough 2nd round rematch

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?
