Good Stuff....

Just finished watch8ing, hes straight talking . Loved this interview

Just finished watching, hes straight telling it like it is, .... . Loved this interview

I copied the video at this point below, he said it perfect, so many people (athletes) in and around Shelby had the talent to do what he did but those streets caught up with them, all of us in CC would fill up both hands with names of athletes that he is speaking of....I never was, but after listening to him, I am a Spikes fan. REAL talk of our communities around Shelby and Boiling Springs .. When he was speaking of the little league and the red stripes man that brings a smile to my face...

💯💯💯

he’s a real one. At SP this year one of their fans cornered me and Wayne and was in a tizzy over how Spikes was. That was years ago but he was still in his mind.

I remember SP was at Crest. Someone had a bullhorn talking trash. Spikes destroyed someone and got up and gave them the double Earl salute. 🖕 🖕that one. And he went to talking. Flags few everywhere


We’ve witnessed so many great football players from around here. He says it best. Better than him.

We’re so blessed in that way. My goodness at the players I’ve watched play in this County. From all four schools. It’s truly crazy if you really think about it

He was younger than me but I remember him being on the pee wee team at Number 3 when I was on the Midgets and he was as big as most of the guys on our team. I wonder how many times they asked to see a birth certificate. He did not have the body mass but you could tell he was going to be huge.

I remember going to West Charlotte and they lined up in the 'i". They snapped the ball and Spikes drilled the fullback straight back into the tailback. Thy both went down. The fullback got up after laying there for a few and headed towards the sideline.

The coaches were waving for him to go back and he flat out wouldn't go back. He was done.. I'll never forget that.. He told them NO.

I agree I think you all do…it works both ways…we know the SP kids cheered and jumped up and down in the locker room when Cramer lost to Hibriton…kinda hard not to reciprocate that kinda hate…don’t you think? Wait according to your responses, I’m not sure you do think but that was used in a different context…
I highly doubt people were jumping up and down upon hearing that news. The only thing sp cares about is if you line up against them. They aren’t worried about 4a playoffs during their own playoff run. For over 50 years….Things aren’t run like that there.

I’m sure he was a good player, and this one walked right in as a 15 year old Sophmore and took that spot from whoever the next great FB was going to be, and you know why because he was by far the best kid to put in that position in your offense.
You know little or nothing about sp football if you think that. You seem to be equating his playing a year at SC and coming to start for SP as a badge of honor. That hasn’t happened before, and he was probably the only fit where it would’ve worked at all last year too. He fit a slot…and the slot was filled. Truth be told….probably other personnel changes/decisions make that great team better including that position.
this fullback is one out of the last 13-14 of them who avg 6-6.5 yds per carry and get 20 plus carries per game. When you play at sp and regularly play in the playoffs that means you WILL rush for 1700 yards if you get those 250 plus carries. Don’t matter who it is. Go look it up.
