I will be SHOCKED if North Davidson doesn't repeat as CCC champs. The Black Knights are flat out loaded for 2018. They return something like 17 of their 22 starters from last year, 10 of their 11 defensive starters. Their first two games (Mount Tabor and Davie County) will be tough as nails, but I don't see any of the CCC teams having the firepower to stop the Black Knights. I could be wrong, but I don't think I am on this one.
1. North Davidson
2. Ledford
3. Salisbury
4. Thomasville
5. Lexington
6. East Davidson
7. Oak Grove
8. South Rowan
9. West Davidson
10. Central Davidson
North Davidson is loaded and will be a heavy favorite. Ledford has talent, but not as much as North save one athlete.
Thomasville is interesting, as is Salisbury. They battle it out for third imo. Lexington is always talented but always underachieve and lose games they shouldn't.
East Davidson has their coach back, and will be well schooled if out athleted most nights. That gives them a fighting chance.
Oak Grove will be young, very young. There will be growing pains, but the foundation is there for the future.
South Rowan can't get much worse. Same can be said for West and especially central.
Btw, based on student numbers central has no excuses. I know they're not ledford or North, but dang...

Saw in today’s paper that North has 101 players at practice. That in itself gives them a huge advantage. Not the only factor certainly, but it can’t hurt. I suspect a school like Thomasville won’t have much more than half that number.
Nut, I hope you’re right that the ‘Dogs will finish as high as third or fourth. There’s excitement in Thomasville for the first time in a few years, but we may have to be patient. Culture change isn’t always immediate.
I heard Ledford had a big loss as their kicker transferred to High Point Christian!!
BTW any of y'all Knight fans know the times of their scrimmages? I know they are at Parkland on August 8th and Grimsley on August 10th. It would seem to me they should want as many people to come as possible $$$ but not posting the scrimmage schedule makes some folks not attend!!
Why did kicker at Ledford leave? They probably will post scrimmage schedule with times a little closer in case any changes happen.
Most are like the one at Wake have time listed with who is scrimmaging who with the times etc. These two aren't however.
We’re not going to scrimmage Parkland it’s been changed. We have Alexander Central at our place on the 8th. JV is at 6. Varsity is at 7.
Don’t think ND was scrimmaging Parkland it was just an event Parkland was hosting. Wonder why the change?
Just got a text about the Scrimmage at Grimsley.
6:00-6:40 NW Guilford
7:00-7:40 Grimsley
I really do wish the best to Thomasville barring one night lol. It may take the coach 2-3 years to install his system and philosophy, but I believe they are in good hands.
Being a East Duplin fan, I was really impressed with ND last year in the playoffs. If they have that team still intact, they’ll definitely be a force to be reckoned with this season. Good luck to all!
Good luck to you guys as well. They play good football down your way, great atmosphere
Now return the favor and come to Welcome haha!
Now return the favor and come to Welcome haha!
We lost a lot last year. If we make it that far, I’ll be sure to make that haul!
I do too, Nut. Gonna be a process. 45 players at practice. Need at least ten more. If the numbers remain the same, it will be a challenge to field a jv team. But there’s a good staff in place, good administration support, and community backing is slowly being rebuilt. We’ll get there.
Anybody scrimmage last night? I was going to go to North but I assumed it was rained out

We got three series in at North before the storm hit.
Thomasville was going to Rockingham County, but not sure if it was affected by the weather. Up to 53 players, so that helps some. I know they’re working hard.
