Yeah, you've been hold up I'm a cave somewhere if you have never hear of West Charlotte. Do your research start from 1938 forward.
West Charlotte at Erwin

Brother I say this with all due respect. I don’t give a rats ass what happened in 1938 as far as high school football is concerned. You act like WC is some football juggernaut that Erwin is lucky to even be on the same field as. Pisgah and Tuscola used to run the world in hs football, but that hasn’t meant anything for the last 30+ years, and I can assure you being around since 1938 will have zero effect on Fridays game. Tradition only matters if you can continue the tradition. So you’ll have to forgive me for not knowing of a school that looks to have a losing record over the last 20 years.
Again a little bit of humility would do you some good.
You have never heard of West Charlotte? Quite possibly one of the most dominate overall sports and academic High schools in the history of NC?
Like I said, do your research. We are not a had Ben, we are an always will be.
Lol then explain a losing record over 20 years. Always will be slightly below average?
😉 you've done some research. Now do more. You're obviously a youngster who has no respect.
You’re the one who has came in acting like WC has been the greatest team to ever touch grass. Respect is earned not given. Again I expect WC to win Friday night, but some humility would do wonders for you.
Here’s my question for the Erwin guys … how does this team compare to the 2013 team ? Cause man that was a really good team that if hadn’t ran into troubles at the end of the year would probably done very well ..if my memory serves me correctly the 2014 team was good but I thought the 13 team was special
Just my 2 cents. In my high school days West Charlotte was well known for being a contender and had been for sometime. Sure they have fallen off from that but make no mistake they have a proud history. Also to the point of some of the mountain teams need to come off the mountain to play some teams to get prepared for the playoffs? Well ACR has done that and it hasn’t panned out all that well of late. Erwin beat them without coming off the mountain and ACR got spanked 42-0 second round so I don’t believe all that crap. Reidsville rarely plays anyone and they win state titles on the regular. I know not this year but typically. That’s all
I would give a slight edge to the 2013 team. They had a senior qb and were deeper at the skill positions. I would compare this squad more to the 2018 team that lost to a really good Mt Tabor squad in the playoffs. We have a great Sophomore QB who has a good chance of playing at the next level and breaking a lot of passing records in our area. Like the 2018 team, this group is really solid on the O-line. They have good size and move really well. We have a lot of guys playing both ways and so far we have held up pretty well. The coaching staff has done a great job developing and preparing this team. This was a 4 win team just a year ago. The QB and O-line improvement in a year has been impressive.
While cold weather might hinder West Charlotte’s performance, it could also impact Erwin's passing game, which thrives in more favorable conditions.
dudley is not the best team in the state you are tripping lol maybe in 3a and i think dudely is great but u thinking their better than hough 71st grimsley clevland weddington hickory without even seeing them play them teams is crazy i think even havelock and jacksonville could give them issues
I feel like the gap between good western North Carolina football teams and the good teams down east has gotten significantly larger the last 4-5 years. We just don’t put out the size and speed like we could a 10+ years ago for some reason
I'm not sure how me saying Mountain Heritage is a really good 1A team led to a pissing match with West Charlotte. Every Erwin fan on here including me is picking WC to win so why the big head from you guys? Besides, If you win you will get humbled real quick next week vs Dudley. Just enjoy being one of the last handful of 3A teams left and maybe show a tad bit of respect?
That team was the best team Erwin has ever had other than the team that played for a state title in the 80's. They dropped 60+ on Reynolds and crushed everyone they played. It all fell apart when they had a car load of their best players get in trouble for smoking pot at a party. They were kicked off the team and they lost their next two games and that was that. This year's team is similar but not quite as good. Our qb is the real deal though. He's definitely going to break some records over the next few seasons. I really hope the frigid temps Friday night doesn't slow him down too much.
Not a single WC person has disrespected Erwin. A comment was made about adm. The analogy was made because a good 1A school beat a great 3A school so adm is not the end all be all. That was no shot at Erwin which is a great football team. Fridays game will be tough for both sides. two well coached teams in freezing weather! Will be a great game.
Fair enough. I kinda like this post. Feels like old times on here with the back and forth. Hope you're able to make it up to Asheville Friday night. Better pack the long Jones. Lol
Erwin's big offensive line certainly has the potential to create gaps for their fast running back, and a strong-armed quarterback can exploit any defensive weaknesses. However, as you've noted, their defense has historically been a concern, and even with improvements this season, it may not be enough to hold off a potent West Charlotte attack.
The weather conditions are insignificant to me. SP was in Asheville in 2003. Weather was expected to be an issue with snow in the forecast. The thought was that SP wouldn't handle the cold as well as the Cougars. However SP beat them 51-10 in a snow storm. It's been relatively warm this year. I don't think the cold will effect one team more than the other. I do think home field advantage will help Erwin.
That's true. It might affect WC but it's also going to slow down Erwin's passing attack which is their bread and butter. I will say that I don't remember going to any games in the 20's which is predicted Friday night. It's gonna suck to be honest!
What's the scoop on West Charlotte? Passing or running team? Star players? I don't much to be honest. By the looks of their scores they must have a good defense!
