Still love anything to do with WHS. Strick 69 and myself kept stats for Pack football for about 20 years and been around for a very long time. I'll be 65 next bday and 69 is a few years my senior. Not many from our generation still post on here. Can't speak for 69 but occasionally I log in to get updates on Friday nights!
Good to hear from you buck71 . I like Pack football too,and I know you and Strick do also. You used to keep us informed on Pack football vs other teams. Thanks for all the years you 2 have give to Whiteville athletics .
Whiteville does it the right way on my option with their programs. Can't wait until your game with SC in November.

Wolfpack69 used to call me every year and after we played whiteville in 2004 he actually drove up and came to a couple shelby games after that. Miss hearing from that rascal he was as nice as you’d meet if y’all know him by chance tell him hey for me
Buck71, I played ball against Strick, Cameron, Dutton, Viets, Kramer & Herbie Smith, that whole crowd. Strick and Herbie went school at SCC. Dutton was a wild one.
Strick was 3 years ahead of me. The remainder you mentioned where 2. To say Dutton , double D was wild was an understatement. Was more than a handful when he came to play. Funniest tale on him I can remember was on the hardwood. Tabor City had their own version of Dutton in Lonnie Grainger. Really hated each other. Playing at TC , Dutton and Grainger were walking behind the officials to the free thrown line at the other end. Dutton saw his chance , slammed Grainger to the floor and never broke stride. TC crowd went nuts . But not one confronted him. Russ sent him to the showers. Game was all but over. TC was hell on the gridiron but not much on the hardwood back then! He was nuts . Too many stories to mention.
I was at that Shelby game I 2004, what a game it was. But one of the best Whiteville games I can remember was between Whiteville vs Cummings at their place. I think in 1993 or 04. Anthony Southern ran all over Cummings but Earnest Tinnin threw the ball all over us. Came down to field goal attempt by Pack with 5 seconds left,came up just short,we lost 50-49. But what a game,my son was on that team. Rough crowd in box on Cummings side that night . I was there in box with Joey Price and Jim Yarbourgh. Great memories of a lot of playoff games. Thanks for them Pack.
Ncdeerhunter,
I still go to the game but not totally into it as in the past. IMO the jury is still out on the 2017 Pack. This week should really give a good insight into their identity. Only played so far one solid team in EB and failed miserably. IMO they underestimated how good you were defensively. Way better than showed that night , but good enough to play with East or South? Enough athletes ? Yes! Enough up front on both sides of the ball? That is the question !!!
I remember Lonnie Grainger real well too and Randy Huggins also. Along with some of those Gonville boys,
Lindy was one of them.

Guys when this conf. had West Brunswick,whiteville,west columbus ,South Brunswick,N. Brunswick,E. Bladen,Tabor City,Acme Delco I believe St. Paul's ,South Robeson,Fairmont. This was very tough back then,tough now but little different back in the day. High school football is still in my book the greatest.
That wasn"t the original conference. The original was as followed; Shallotte, Tabor City, Hallsboro, Whiteville, Bladenboro, Fairmont and Elizabeth town that was war every Friday night.
It was known then as the Waccamaw Athletic Association or WAA; later called the the Waccamaw Conference.
