Croatan beating Greene Central? I, for one, didn't see that coming. EDPanther, I know that you can attest to Croatan's abilities, but I thought that GC would ride their defense deep. They only gave up 80pts all season. That's tied for best in 2A, and third in the entire state, all divisions. At 10-1 coming in, they were ranked #6, losing only to #4 Kinston by a touchdown. 80 points all season, and they gave up more than half of that (41-35) in one home playoff game. A 10-1 and 9-2 first round game didn't seem fair, but the results shocked me. Croatan beat some good teams this year and had "good losses", but I didn't give them a chance. But looking at their schedule again, maybe I should. Easterners will know how impressive their wins and losses are.

Amazing considering they were 0-11 two years ago. Simply amazing.

That's why you play the game..never know what may happen.

That's why I didn't give them much thought. I've known them to be quite pitiful. I know that they haven't been around long enough to have any type of history, but they really opened my eyes by ending the best season in GC history while continuing their own best season. Shout out to Croatan. I'm impressed.

Nobody wanted to talk about it because everyone knew they were an over rated team playing mostly so-so teams. Two quality wins and 11-0 don't get you respect when you have zero tradition.

I said to some of my football friends going into the playoffs everyone should watch Croatsn

I said in the other thread that GC had better not sleep on Croatan. . I am NOT excited about playing them again Friday night... football is a funny game sometimes. We came out FLAT against them three weeks ago, and they made us pay for it.

If we play to our abilities, we can beat them, but I fully expect them to win Friday night. They're good.

Croatan has traditionally been a spread team. Last year when all their QB's got hurt they made the switch to a power game offense behind a strong OL and two good RB's. It has been a great change for them. Hats off to Coach Perry and his staff for having a great season. Should be a great game Friday night vs. ED.
