“Trap game” means that a team that you should beat before a huge game the following week, you don’t. What I’m saying is that Monroe doesn’t fit the profile of a team that “should be” beat.
We’ll see. Not making any proclamations.
Now go back and read bigdad’s statement about WC and Monroe and you will understand why I used the term trap game into what he stated. Bigdadd is a WC fan by the way.
I feel like I’m the only one that understood what you meant by it and why you said it.
Yep. I definitely think WC takes a step up this year in talent on their roster but Monroe will be able to match them pretty equally on skill talent. That game will come down to the big guys in the trenches. Monroe will be young in that area but all those Monroe young OL guys were up at UNC together recently getting ready for upcoming season.
Same here. Monroe’s coaching staff seem pretty excited about their team. Those guys are very knowledgeable about happenings around the state also.
*Bookmarked lol
I forgot it’s the grand opening. Give me Monroe for the win. 😆
Monroe was favored. They kinda gave the game away not continuing to run
Bigdadd,
Very valid points about small town football. With the inlaws from Richmond County definitely understand. The tradition and constant talent feed make those small teams great year in and year out. Agree they could beat a great deal of charlotte teams. Think it works same way also that alot of charlotte teams would absolutely dominate lesser comp in most cases. For every RC there is Anson, for every Monroe there is Piedmont. We dont talk about those gaps. Just the top.
The Charlotte teams that I am watching closely in football over the next couple of years are WC, Indy, Butler, and Palisades. I think all have the potential to take huge steps forward. Palisades success will depend on their feeder system or whether they have a consistent strong feeder system. Yep you were one of the first that mentioned Hough taking a step back and being overrated.
Agree. Think North Meck is gonna be sneaky good this year also. WC is gonna turn into the go to westside school. WM, Berry, and Harding will struggle but WC will build. Their freshman/sophmore classes are incredible. Add in their future classes and its getting ugly on the Ford. With talent and great coaching WC will be a beast. Indy/Butler are super talented and are in a great area to get players. Chambers/MC will be good too. Especially MC. MC has great coaching and gets outright dogs into the program. Those 5 will be the new Charlotte kings with no one dominate team.
North Meck’s schedule may prevent people from realizing how good they are because theyll have 4-5 losses, but they’re much improved.
I agree they have some play markers and that D is solid. They should have won vs LN but Ran outta gas
