I played under Eason while pollock was the OC, two completely different styles. They worked amazing together. cant really compare the two. Just so different.
Northside jax at east duplin ... please leave prediction ... an why
- Thread starter thelastninja
- Start date
we all have our opinions, but it really doesnt matter what any of us think. East Duplin and Northside both are very good teams. anything that has happened up to this point doesnt matter either. this game will have an identity all it's own. i think this will be a close game. i hope my Panthers win but only time will tell. Friday night the players will decide that on the field. again, our opinions are really worth nothing. either way, these two teams have had some classics over the years. i hope that's not the case Friday night. my hope is that not only do we win, but that we win by at least a couple of TD's. i dont know if my heart can take another nailbiter like these two teams have become known for, but it wouldnt surprise me if thats what happens. all in all there should be a very electric atmosphere Friday night. here's hoping for an injury free game.
I understand. Eason came from that coach Padgett mentality (SWO) that his players would always be in the better physical conditioning than his opponent and that wins you a lot of games. Pollocks X's and O's are unreal in comparison to some of the great coaching minds our area has produced beating him twice as Clinton saw is hard. The longevity Eason put together cannot go underestimated either because he builth a program from scratch is amazing in itself and we all know he was a winner BUT he never got to the big game.
Pollock has the better football mind, while Eason had a better view of how administration works.

They both have things about them that make them great. Coach Eason shaped a whole football program. forgive me if I'm wrong but only two losing seasons and one of those coming from forfeits because of a dumb situation. Another thing that I always loved was our practice. It was on a tight schedule and it was tough which is how it should be. Can't really compare someone on there first season to someone who built the winning program, and I also have a lot of respect for coach Eason because he didn't have to leave, he knew the team this year was going to be very good, but he wanted to also leave the program with a great opportunity for a good season and it's happened. And hats off to coach P, for people who know him and who have played for him he is a great great football mind. Love both coaches and respect to both
Pollock is one of the best football minds I've ever seen and played for. Coach Eason was a true head football coach. A great face for the team and I've already explained my thoughts on him, and sure Eason didn't take his team to the state championship, but look at his resume. Both coaches will be talked about when Northsides name is brought up for a long long time
Not trying to convince anyone of anything. The on-field results speak loud enough. ED spanked Northside once. I'm confident they'll do it again.
We didn't play Northside when I was in school but Eason quickly turned it into a rivalry.
Pollock did lead a semi-pro team to a "National Champship" as a QB. Playoffs are right up his alley.
everybody knows you usually pick Onslow County teams to win anyway. i was surprised you picked Clinton over Northside.
Coming from the same poster who said Clinton was gonna hang 45 on us... Not exactly a creditable source.
yea, sure, the DarkHorses spanked them worse than you did first time and,,,,....... you're setting yourself up for disappointment again
.
@Wiz, keep in my that this is one of our fans talking smack, im sure simply to fight fire with fire. i can almost guarantee you that our players themselves will take Northside just as serious as they would have any other potential Eastern Championship opponent.yea, sure, the DarkHorses spanked them worse than you did first time and,,,,....... you're setting yourself up for disappointment again
May take in the WRH/Tarboro game but the say it's going to be extremely cold so I don't know. Last weeks game hasn't got out of me yet
yeah, im going to wrap up like a mummy to try and stay warm.May take in the WRH/Tarboro game but the say it's going to be extremely cold so I don't know. Last weeks game hasn't got out of me yet
Folks in the West believe Monroe vs Shelby is the real state championship game, what do you guys think?
I think there are four great teams still playing.
if the Western champion goes in there big headed, they will get a quick wake up call.

Kinda hard to predict...even though Northside played a great game Friday night and deserved to win, Clinton did not play up to their potential by any stretch...the seniors were "let down" by the underclassmen. They were ready for it to be over! Our seniors played their hearts out but didn't get much help!! East Duplin by 3.
Lot of respect for NS, South Columbus has had some great games with them, but I have to pull for East Duplin in this one. Reason being is we know how hard that elusive State Championship can be and I do believe our two schools have worked as hard over the years to achieve that goal as anybody. Would love to see the Stallions and the Panthers finally bring one home! NS is still a young school and I just don't see how they can go much longer without getting a title of their own, they are in the thick of it every year. Probly won't be very long before they bring one home.
it definitely would be nice if we both could bring one home. good luck to you guys.
24-20 NS....pulling for Onslow county on this one.....good luck monarchs from Stallion country ...SWO!!
Finally Onslow county coming together. Would be really nice to see two Onslow County teams play for title and bring them home.
Come on Panther.. lol would be nice for Onslow county... but if the Panthers win I would be happy also and will go out and get my East Duplin hoodie to go to the championship game. But you can best believe I will have my Cardinals drawers on!BOOOOOOO!!! LOL
i would rather see that team from Beulaville win a title in 2AA. but good luck to your Cards.
