I like what old Marquette coach Al McGuire said about freshman (in this case underclassman) playing at the end of the year in tournament play; “they are t freshman (underclassman in this case) anymore”
Possible upsets

I think the potential at Clinton this yr is unlimited. Yal are one of the 4-5 teams that could win it, imo
@Wizard of the East i think you made a good point about who have any of these teams played that were really good. I can tell you that we haven’t played any real good teams. We have played a few decent teams (Holmes,Rose,Hertford County,Currituck) but no one the caliber of Salisbury or West Craven. Things will be interesting this Friday in Clinton and then next week things will start to heat up for most.
Lol dude Ledford is not even a top 15 team in 3a. Ledford is a below average 3a school that destroyed Clinton. Stop talking like that was a good lose. That was a TERRIBLE loss at home. Smh
Didnt West Craven lose to Croatan? Yes, I heard they were without some players and had some covid related things going on, but it is still Croatan. Went 4-6 this year. Wins against WC, Richlands, Dixon and East Carteret.
Klyar, I would comment but you're too ignorant to respond to. Maybe best to put you in ignore status so your post doesn't clutter up the board./
Have you seen that team. If you haven't you ought to see them and that one guy
I do believe a kicker can make a difference especially in the high school , but if he out kicks his coverage against whiteville and allows that returner to pick his lane it’s gonna be a long long night.
Whiteville is good, I believe they will beat Clinton, WRH and East Dublin. Not saying it will be easy but I think they are better than all 3 teams. Playing such a weak schedule will hurt but they are a fine tuned machine and any team that beats them will have to have great execution along with speed, size and strength. That being said, anyone that can pass is gonna cause some trouble because Whiteville’s strength isn’t based around the passing game on offense or defense.
Clinton beat Fairmont 56-6, I believe it was running clock in the 2nd halfAll I can say it St Paul’s must have taken the night off. There is no comparison between Fairmont and St Paul’s
Ain’t gonna break my heart if I’m wrong, lol. But I really think Whiteville is better than y’all giving them credit for, we’ll see
There’s a kid in Wallace that’s just as good and those other two backs aren’t shabby either speed kills!! So whiteville isn’t the only team with speed and size!!
Defense wins championships, I didn’t see any of that when I watched Wrh.
There's a little bit goob. Question is - is there enough. We could make some noise, but how much depends on the defense
Watch this Friday. That defense will look like the 80s Chicago Bears.
@olddog77 you been doing ok? I talk to John on the regular and I was talking with Mr Merle but I heard he wasn’t feeling well. I think you’ll be surprised at how good WC is. As a die hard NE fan I wouldn’t want to face them. Their defensive line looks just like ours and they have two D1 recruits in #53 and #22.
If defense wins championships according to u Goob y’all should have won at least 2 all those great defensive players you kept hyping but it’s funny others schools look at this team as a threat maybe Not NE , it could that’s why that little ole school from duplin county is mentioned every year in high school football circles to do big things!! 6 titles will testify that regardless of naysayers they are a threat!! And jk and east duplin gonna make some noise as well in the playoffs !! Just my two cents Goob!! U didn’t hit a nerve or anything just my reflection on that little school in dc !! Since we have no defense we should cancel playing in the playoffs if we’re that bad!! I guess that’s y u practice to get better I could be wrong but anything can anything any Giving Friday night!! We will c!!
God forbid you say something unflattering about Wallace or Clinton around here , lol.
Well sounds like it's not a good matchup for northeastern they can really pass
Yes sir I’m doing ok, I’m thinking I might go to the Clinton or Princeton game tomorrow. I like to see good competitive games and our game will be a blow out
Clinton game sounds most interesting. I do still like the horses 10-14 pts
Blackbulldog you and I are just alike when it comes to our respective teams. We are loyal to the core even when we know their really not that good. Hope you guys advance to play WC and their superstar rb #7.
I think it’ll be a one possession game, if I was forced to bet on it I’d take Clinton also
Wallace defends the run well, it's the passing that they have a problem with. By Wallace losing to ED and played hard by JK, should have refocused them. I expect Wallace and Clinton to meet in the third round at the dog pound
