West Charlotte vs Independence!!!
- Thread starter NCFB73
- Start date
Will be a great game. EDGE WC IMHO as they return their QB and the majority of their team. Indy will be very good also. The Indy/Hough playoff game really soured me on Indy. Think Indy's end of season schedule hurt them in the playoffs. The Indy RB is special. WC defense could/should be better this year and that's saying a lot as they were dominate this season. Getting Littlejohn back, adding Porter and those LBS? This could be a very special season at WC. After the Hough loss they only allowed 50 points in 9 games with 4 shutouts. Sans Hough next max score was Hickory with 20 on the road. Hickory avg, close to 60 on the year too.
Sure Btango remembers but WC won it all in 95, but were actually better in 96 and 97 though the didnt win it all. SO we dont know how other teams will look. Just like WC surprised in 24 someone will surprise in 8A. WC is 8A title favorite. Indy is not a favorite in 7A at all.

Definitely pulling for West Charlotte in this matchup. Indy coaches trying to close the gap by any means necessary. You would think that there are enough kids in Mecklenburg that a Charlotte school doesn’t have to tamper with kids two counties away. A coach selling lies, making promises that no one can guarantee, and risking a kids eligibility as a senior is shameful in my opinion but carry on 😊
Recruiting and transfer portal is happening everywhere. Coaches are even fighting for transfer kids who will be backups at their school where they would start at the school they take them from. Is absolutely out of control.
Really like the new SC rule. One penalty free transfer then must sit out set number of days/games. This is regardless of residency. Then rising SRs have 22 days regardless if they transfer in 26-27. Transfers are gonna happen and happen at most HS. The issue is recruiting but its hard to prove that in most cases. Having a great program is the best recruiting tool IMHO.
I am a firm believer that actual high school coaches should not be “actively” involved in recruiting another school’s athletes. I am pretty lenient when it comes to families moving into a district. I even understand kids, trainers, and others that support programs making suggestions to parents. When high school coaches that are on staff are the ones on the phone, making promises, and “hosting visits” that’s problematic. Those coaches are looking out for their program and not the kid.
It can be proved its whether someone wants to go through the process of proving it. Phone and electronic records/messages never die.
When coaches are meeting with parents of kids who attend other schools, that should be easy to prove. But who is actually looking? No one. CMS AD turned out to be all talk when it came to "cleaning things up."
DISAGREE. CMS has done well. Parents and trainers do the majority of recruiting. sometimes they don't even push their school but what they think is best for the child. Most coaches train in some sort of way so its sticky what's recruiting and what's best for the child. Once you say what school you are attending they should respect that.
