    Championship Sites Announced

    Campbell is an excellent choice to host a state championship game; would also add Elon as a potential site that's a first-class college facility in a more intimate setting than a 50K college stadium.

    Other Sports Mallard Creek Track

    Correct decision, including allowing Jordan to keep their share of the title. Both schools know who "won" by virtue of point totals, but no reason to yank away the other's trophy well after-the-fact for doing nothing wrong. I might feel differently if it was a dual meet where only the two...

    HOT OFF THE PRESS CLINTON U HAS FOUND THEIR GUY

    Sincere question b/c i honestly don't know, but what longtime dynasty programs in NC and in particular the smaller, rural ones have maintained success over time by hiring coaches from the "outside"? Just off the top of my head the Reidsvilles, Mt. Airys, East Duplins,Tarbororo's etc. have for...

    HOT OFF THE PRESS CLINTON U HAS FOUND THEIR GUY

    I'm guessing the Clinton booster club is like many in rural & eastern NC: football drives much of the interest and participation from the "old-timers", but they're often the same guys/gals who'll help run the Special Olympics event, or to park cars at the band festival. It's easy to speculate...

    Television for Championship games

    In the Raleigh market, WRDC channel 28 is carrying all four games. I had checked earlier in the week and as early as yesterday morning b/c in recent years they and 22 WLFL had carried both the football and basketball championships but not listed this year. Then last night I just happened to...

    ADM Change Transparency

    It used to be the Clinton posters who would see all 18 of the above changes as 100% cuased by a domino effect to screw over the Horses. Over 400 schools and over 4,000 varsity teams in NC; I just don't see making the above 18 or so adjustments to create a domino effect that will specifically...

    Marlboro County banned from football state playoffs by South Carolina High School League

    I don't know the Chinese owners of Smithfield and what their possible motivations might be for trying to influence the NCHSAA with money, but I do know some of the Prestage family (not "Prestige", as many folks with limited knowledge of both the company and family often say and spell it). And...

    Hammer Coming For Clinton South?

    I think Johnson was the first "out of town coach" at Clinton in the last 50 years or so, and they've gone back to a coach who grew up in the community so not sure what your point is there. Just my opinon as an observer of eastern football for many years, but "Clinton U' was pretty much a Coach...

    New Clinton head coach

    Valid to question his fit for the position based on his recent record at Ragsdale, but OTOH his sticking it out and their wanting to keep him after three straight 2-8 seasons maybe says more about his leadership/organizational skills/integrity, etc. than it would if he had gone 15-0. Hope it...

    Clinton coach

    That’s 6 offers already, so absolutely he’s a D1 player. And keep in mind that those are all FBS schools; plenty of FCS schools, which is also considered D1, that would prob offer if he wasn’t getting FBS offers. No need to take a shot at a kid who has multiple offers already.

    Clinton coach

    Oh I’m not doubting that it occurred and did so legally, just surprised that there’s a compelling reason to drop everything and move to Marlboro Co. this late in the school year and well before fall practice begins in SC. But I do hear that springtime in Blenheim, Tatum and Clio is something to...

    Clinton coach

    ...."have transferred to Marlboro". So these kids have left the NC school system with 2 months left in the school year, and somehow slid into presumably the same/similar classes in SC and will complete the spring semester there? I'm sure it happens and for reasons other than sport, i.e. a...

    Clinton coach

    Agree. Again not to imply anything on my part that I know what went in to the coach’s decision, but you don’t walk away from 10 years or so of state system income step and retirement credits w/o having a longterm plan, and one which apparently doesn’t include staying at a small rural NC high...

    Clinton coach

    Jeez folks, then substitute Notre Dame for St. Andrew’s; the school names I tossed out was not the point of my post at all.
