ND at Ledford

Ledford has had some really good individual players. Madison Hedgecock was right after Hoover. They always have good linemen and running backs. Not so much qbs or receivers (sometimes the ball doesn't get to the good receivers)

Well well well... It's that time again. Ledford finally beat North last year after 12 years and won the conference. North got revenge and kicked butt in the East Regional Title to bring the Old North vs Old Ledford record to 44-5-1 and get the last laugh.

None of that matters now. New North and New Ledford are 0-0 against each other. Ledford has the better D, North has the better O.

North has to contain Lackey and Ledfords glorified single wing offense, and also Lackey when he goes out to receiver and they bring the backup qb in.

Ledford has to contain the North passing game and not let the ND receivers get behind them. Also the ND backs have enough speed to break it against Ledford in the running game. Jenkins can simulate Lackey in practice, Lackey on the other hand can't simulate Jenkins.

If I were Vegas I would have an even betting line. No favorite, both teams have the same record overall and in conference. The winner is guaranteed a playoff spot. The loser has to hope their adjusted ranking is high enough to get an at-large bid.

Too bad the game is at Ledford so parking will be awful...

Thoughts?


ND by whatever it takes, 1 point or 40. Salisbury was a great tune up. Want to beats like to!
 
A great high school football player.

PrepFanNC 100 million? In just roof repairs? Surely that is exaggerated #'s. Sounds like we masked the county problems by creating smoke and mirrors with the new shinny nickle in OG. Turn a blind eye to the real problems and look at our new shinny toy. Not sure what overall budget ended up being for OG Middle/High along the additional operating cost it has created but would be interesting to see what upgrades could have been done to the majority vs. 1.

Lastly, To the game. Despite what most of the skewed kool-aid drinkings on here think. I believe both teams are well coached. Both teams match up well. And i don't think it's a secret to what either team is going to try and do. Should be a great atmosphere and a fun football game. Good luck to both teams.

XOXO

I always enjoy your post. So knowledgeable. You should run for the Mayor today!

BlackKnightNut have heard that he is no longer on the team due to poor choices outside of the football field. Sad to be honest. At one point it is my understanding that he had some Power 5s close to pulling the trigger on him. Kudos to the coaching staff for a coaching staff willing to put Character over W's & L's... because I have seen some that don't in my 30+ years of spectating.
How long have you been a coach?

Has OG added to the locker rooms yet? They built that fiedhouse and locker rooms way to small. No room at the inn for visiting teams.

Maybe some day they’ll be able to add on (on the booster club’s dime).

To get that school built, it took quite a bit of “adding and taking away” on the blueprints for the commissioners to sign off on it. I know there are some things lacking there, but quite frankly, they are lucky to have what they have.

As far as away locker rooms, West, East, Ledford, Central... none of them have a place for the visiting team. I’m not sure that some even have room for the home team.

It’ll come in time if that’s what the boosters want to raise money for. But for now, there are many other things that need funding first.

North has the better offense while Ledford has the better defense, both equal with special teams. Normally I go with defense over offense but believe ND has too much offense to overcome. Ledfords D-line is good but the LBs and Secondary are the weakness.

Lackey needs to have one guy spying him every down. Don't care if he is at qb, tailback, wr, or even kicking. He must be kept account of.

Ledford D is strong on the line of scrimmage but showed weakness against OG in the passing game. Hope the Knights can exploit that.

Good luck to both teams and hope all players get home unharmed.
 
JV game won by Knights 28-14 according to Scorestream.

JV Knights finish second to OG in conference, 8-2 overall. Losses to Davie and OG.

Must hurt that even Black Knight fans don’t agree with you! But seriously you need to be worried about coaching your team up tonight.

BTW it was too good for just a hoodie for me.
XOXO
 
Anyone who gets to Ledford after 7pm... let me know what the pedometer on your phone says you walked to get to the football field.

I am certain that I walked a mile on John Green Road once to get to the game... it was about 4 years ago I think. ND and Ledford wasn’t even huge game that year. Just non-conference.

I’ll be very happy to be parked in a parking lot in Midway tonight. I might wear a jacket. I hear its going to be on the cool side!

Ledford punches the ball out after a reception and recovers the ball. Panther ball at their own 43.
 
North having trouble holding onto the ball. 3rd and 15 at the Ledford 46. Pass gets it to 4th and 3. Jenkins keeps it on a power play for a first down to the 22.
 
Pass in the end zone dropped. Ledford almost intercepts next play. Dropped pass in end zone. ND field goal from the 22 is good. 7-3 Ledford with 6:37 left in the half.
 
Long pass gets first down on 3rd and 20. Chaos after the play, personal foul on both teams, Knight ball at the Ledford 29.
 
False start on ND puts them back at the 22 again. Pass incomplete for three straight downs, ND kicks another field goal.

Good. Roughing the kicker. ND first down at the Ledford 12.
 
Ledford D throws North back to the 4 and a half. 3rd and goal Jenkins runs for a TD. 10-7 Knights with 18 secs left in the half

North has driven the ball well. Those fumbles on the first two drives made a big difference otherwise they would be up by more.
