Thomas Jefferson @ East Wilkes
- Thread starter EWCards
- Start date
Number 15 for TJ is a beast!! Some size up front! Will throw to 15 or hand him the ball!
I expect TJ to score in the 3rd Q after the game has a running clock.
I don't get how they didn't get booted from the playoffs for fighting
I'll give you 7 reasons why.

The re-vamp of the NCHSAA structure might have something to do with this. Remember that the thing that got the whole process started was a fight involving Anson High, which resulted in their being ruled ineligible for the playoffs. State rep Tom McInnis made that his personal mission to strip the NCHSAA of the power to fine schools for misconduct and to take away a lot of the power that the association had.
Dont count out the Cards they are talented team
We are a decent team, I dont see us going past murphy and if we did, it would be over in the 3rd round. We are a talented group but no where near the talent Andrews, ER, MA have. Glad you had a chuckle there buzz.
I hope EW #33 rb is getting better. His explosiveness on kick off returns and runs thru the hole were non existent against Starmount. It made EW way more one dimensional in the backfield as well. His lack of explosiveness was defintely a set back. He provides a nice change of pace for EW in the backfield when he is on his game and healthy.
Depending on which EW team shows up honestly. Will it be the EW that wants to continue to play football...or the EW that concedes the season in efforts to get on the hardwood...in which they haven't been good in decades....just saying.
It takes three ejections to get disqualified from the playoffs and there was only two in that game.
Don't really think that has anything to do with it.

They started playing better football towards the end of the season. Granted the scheduled got softer, but there was also a complete shift in offensive philosophy towards the end of the year. Not calling an upset or anything like that, but definitely could be close for a while.
One thing is clear..let's not forget TJ's in conference competition...Shelby and Burns....so EW will be no where near the beat competition that TJ has faced. Matter of fact when your competition is that tough...i doubt they will be phased by anything EW does on either side of the ball. Expect a close game...and if EW let's them hang around...expect a possible upset.
But outside of Burns and Shelby that conference is terrible. I'd say after those 2 it's just as bad if not worse than the middle to bottom of the NW conference. I don't think playing those 2 probably prepared TJCA for anything other than taking it like a man.
How healthy is the Martin kid that plays LB...and back up RB...he was not effective last week seemed to laboring in pain with every move..he adds a lot to the offense..great change of pace.
Yikes!!! Game will be closer. #5 is the starter and runs hard...but the other Martin kid brings a different wiggle that defenses have to adjust to after #5 catches a breather..and he is effective in that back up RB slot.
For sure on the martin kid. Heard also today that one of the LB's is done with a knee injury. Im just hoping to see more of an aerial attack tomorrow night. Got the arm to throw it and the hands in #4 to catch it, but the men up front has got to find a way to give him time to throw it.
TJ is nowhere close to what they have been the past few years.
I'd have him dressed but would only use him if necessary. This game should be over by halftime if East does what they should.
For any TJA fans not coming up, 100.9 WIFM will be covering the game. Wifmradio.com
Four or five straight years of losing to the SMC will do that to you. The boosters trying to buy a state championship reallocated their kids.
