We know he did.
And Broadway played great. Noteworthy.
So, he starts a thread on it.
Meanwhile, Shelby’s Farmer puts on perhaps the greatest performance of a NC quarterback ever in a championship game.
mule knows what he is doing
So do we
mule, who would have won last week if Broadway and team played Farmer and team?
Let’s address this carefully—since we’re apparently explaining things
slowly now.
Yes,
Reidsville High School would have beaten
Shelby High School. That tends to happen when the
most successful football program in North Carolina history understands something as basic—and inconvenient—as pass defense. Reidsville doesn’t allow receivers to take scenic tours downfield without coverage, nor does it permit quarterbacks to stand around thinking,
“Well, that guy’s only ten yards open… might as well let one fly.”
That style may work occasionally. It just doesn’t work against teams that know how to cover grass.
As for the continued hand-wringing over Neal and Harrison not playing in the Shrine Bowl—let’s not pretend this is about “honor.” The Shrine Bowl
is an honor, and everyone knows it. But when you’re still playing meaningful football, the parade can wait. Championships first. Photo ops later.
And just so the record stays straight: Harrison didn’t skip postseason recognition because he lacked interest—he left for Oregon to begin pursuing the same respect and success he earned in North Carolina, only now on a national stage. That’s not avoidance. That’s advancement.
So yes, trophies count. Defense matters. And if you can’t pass the leader while the leader takes a nap…
well, the leader’s still the leader.
Carry on.
