Salisbury @ Maiden

Gentlemen I used to be a poster on this site but after biggestblue passed away several years ago I stepped aside for 10+ years. Some of you remember him, but I have kept up with the 2a forum over the years. Thereā€™s no doubt about it that the state title runs through Shelby and Reidsville, but I can honestly say that this game between Salisbury and Maiden Will have a big say do in it. Salisbury returns a very and I mean a very talented team, Maiden learned a big lesson last year and realized that you have gotta be tougher at the line of scrimmage. In my opinion this game will come down to who has the most Will and determination. As biggest blue used to say, ā€˜Let the Smoke Rollā€™

I'm glad you're back...don't be shy!

I'm still going with Monroe Redhawks
I favor them, too, unfortunately. Theyā€™re very athletic, and like Reidsville, they have a great coach. Youā€™re the closest thing they have of a poster on here. They have no one besides you to hype them up, so many in the 2A forum donā€™t know how badass they are. It wouldnā€™t surprise me if they were to beat Salisbury by two scores, if they were to play. Salisbury hasnā€™t played anyone. Donā€™t get me wrong, theyā€™re obviously very good, though. How good is the question.

I wish Maiden and Monroe could have played this year earlier...when that fell through we added Christ School on like Thursday and played Friday...but we were so ready to go to Monroe

I remember they had 1 or 2 posters in 3A when they were in that conference with Catholic and Weddington, even when there were in the same conference as 2A.

They sometimes beat Catholic and Weddington like how Shelby sometimes beat KM and Crest, which says alot for them as their conference can be as tough or tougher than the Big South 3A.

Looks like low 40ā€™s by kickoff time. Dress warm. I may even wear a mask just to keep my face warm. Iā€™m cold nature. Lol. I also think a close game. Even Salsibury Post suggesting for fans to get their early. Canā€™t wait until kickoff time.

Calpreps has Salisbury by 3

Two separate computer projections, 1 point difference
Simmons and Calpreps almost got it right!šŸ˜‰

Shocked at Simmonsā€™ projection on Shelby East Gastonā€¦.does Calpreps have that too?

Iā€™ve got East Gaston giving Shelby all they want!
 
Heck I'm pulling for ya. Just so I can keep hearing Grizzly and Maiden keep chirping šŸ˜
Good luck to the Maiden Blue Devils and their super fans Maiden Creek and Grizzly Devil.

It will be awfully hard to beat the Hornets but I truly believe if Maiden can keep it close they have a good chance of winning at home. Seems to me like Maiden teams are energized by their fans more so than others.

Cheerduck made a good assessment but intangibles can come into play if the game is tight and I think that favors Maiden.

I like the Hornets, too, and thinking back, everybody I've known from Salisbury was okay. I especially like the name of their high school's address. Nobody can top that. :)

Should the Devils win, Christmas would come in November for the blue planet.

Lincolnton wayā€¦..thatā€™s good stuff!

I believe itā€™s a sign!šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Whereā€™s Goob?šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
 
I'm curious...Have the Salisbury starters had to play a full 4 quarters at all this year? I wanna say ours have twice, maybe three times. Will be something to consider if it's tight late.

Goob is always watching šŸ˜€. I have a vested interest in this game. I donā€™t want to make any predictions because Iā€™ve been wrong almost every time. Im most definitely pulling for the Blue Devils.
 
daagoob is definitely watching. ;) Good luck to Northeastern as they take on the Pam Pack... Oh, BTW, I went to a state championship baseball game over at Statesville about thirty five or maybe forty years ago, The Greyhounds were playing Washington.
The man I sit beside of was from there. I asked him about the name, Pam Pack. He said he was always told it was a contraction of "Pack from the Pamlico" (Pamlico River). Pretty original if you ask me.

 
Iā€™m torn in this gameā€¦.Salisbury is a Thomasville conference memberā€¦and Iā€™ve always admired the maiden football program,but my Gut is saying Salisbury

Love the instrumental at the beginning of that song. Thanks Lincolnton, I think weā€™ll survive and advance. Looking for around a 21 point win. Curious to see how good the Duke rb commit is, their coach said his performance last week against Cummings was one of the best in the state

Daagoob, he probably hasnā€™t played anyone with the speed of Northeastern. The Eagles headed towards the title.

Tā€™villeDawg good luck to you against Mitchell County. Might be a tough game,and itā€™ll be cold up in Bakersville.
