Is this their coaches last year? This coach brown is nothing like his bro up at Grimsley….crazy to me how asheboro can lose to southwest randolph. Idk what southwest has this year but can’t imagine it’s to much!!
Same ole asheboro
- Thread starter nwguilford007
- Start date
If Gillespie couldnt turn that thing around, its going to take a miracle.
Always loved Easterns tradition and respect their tradition? Have yal gotten help from the pipeline this year?
Asheboro had Benji Brown and were average. They had Gillespie and were awful. Aboro is not a coaching problem from what I can see but like Lexington an administrative and city problem. They don't get support and coaches need support no matter how good a coach they are. Lee J Stone rolling in his grave...
I still say Aboro is much improved and the offense backs that up. Defense not so much...

BTW Aboro is 55 percent Hispanic, 25 percent white and 15 percent African American. Take from that what you will...
Eastern randolph has similar number and has successful teams every year…..I understand 3a ball is different but not losing to southwest randolph different
Eastern also has strong history and tradition. Asheboro was a state power in the 50s and 60s under Lee J Stone, and right after he retired they went downhill fast and with few exceptions have been average to terrible for 50 plus years. Culture matters. It's the same reason South Davidson is usually awful even when they play similar size schools and why Lexington has been awful despite playing 2A ball as a 3A school for years. It don't change just like that. Aboro is similar in that they have 1300 kids and are arguably large 3A slash small 4A size. Numbers only matter as much as the want to is there. Charlotte Garinger says hello too in that regard.
Eastern is 50 percent White, 30 percent Hispanic and 10 percent AA fwiw
And Calvin Brown did wonders to elevate the football program at Providence Grove. He is by far their most successful coach so far. He is in a bad situation and fighting an uphill mountain at Aboro...

Didn't Lexington win 2-3 state titles back in the 1980s under Gary Whitman? So there is obviously some history there. Not like they have been a losing program forever. But I can't remember in recent times when the Jackets were good. Doesn't make sense. Sure seems like they would have the athletes in the student body to field competitive teams.
Lexington Senior WNCHSAA titles: 1933 34 38 39 40 54 56 67
Dunbar NCHSAC titles: 56 58 59 63
Lexington NCHSAA titles: 85 86
Lexington was the original Davidson County powerhouse. The white and black schools both won tons. In 1967 Lexington had a Remember the Titans season except Charlie England became assistant coach and defensive backs/passing game coach for legendary coach Press Mull. England won titles at Lexington Dunbar whilst Mull won at Lexington Senior. They only lost to Kannapolis Brown 14-9 and beat everyone else like a drum by a 31-5 average. Best team in Lexington history. They beat defending 2A champion North Davidson (moved to 3A in 67) 34-0 and 41-7 in the Piedmont Title playoff before wrecking Lincolnton 33-12 in the WNCHSAA Championship game.
Thomasville won the WNCHSAA title in 64 (only loss to Aboro who won in 58 63 and 65 and who had Tvilles number in the day)
North won 2A in 66 and WNCHSAA tie with Shelby in 75. Shelby beat Lexington 25-0 in 76 after Lexington had won 9 games by shutout. Then the WNCHSAA closed and Lexington won in 85 and 86 before Tville pulled through in 88 and followed with 91 95 04 05 06 08.
I wish Davidson County football would step it back up to what we used to be... maybe someday...
