    First Round Upsets

    West Columbus fan here. I know we’ve been quiet this year. It’s been a rough year after losing 18 seniors and injuries and hurt us. I agree that East Bladen could possibly beat North Duplin if they are healthy. They have struggled with injuries this season too. I was hoping Pender could have...

    Eastern randolph hits portal

    I definitely respect what you’re saying. I just don’t think Wilson Prep or any similar school with those advantages should have an opportunity to compete for a 1A championship for football or any sport for that matter. I’m just too much of a “fair play” guy, especially when it comes to 1A...

    Power of NIL in NC High Schools

    If a player and their family wants to go to a private school because of the NIL deal, I completely understand. It’s the world we are in now. I really think the NCHSSA and our state government- since they want to get so involved with everything - need to look at the landscape of private vs...

    Eastern randolph hits portal

    I think that worries me even more starting in 2025. They definitely would be the favorite in the new alignment for 1A. Then when they hit the “recruiting trail” in Wilson, Edgecombe, Nash County or beyond, part of their pitch would be the easy path to a state championship under the new...

    Eastern randolph hits portal

    This is a West Columbus guy here. I definitely think Tarboro is the team to beat out of the 1A East this year and will have another great shot at the state championship. We will continue to build something this way with the youth program and consistency with coaching at the high school. We lost...

    WC vs Tarboro

    They are leaving at 11:30, then stopping to eat around Smithfield, then coming to Tarboro. They plan on being in Tarboro by 4-4:30pm. Best of luck to both teams.

    Tarboro Vikings vs West Columbus Vikings!

    Could any of the Tarboro folks answer just a couple of questions for us West Columbus folks? We haven’t been able to get this info yet, What time will the gate open and then is there a “no bag” policy at your stadium? Looking forward to a great game. I know people like to have a lot of fun on...

    WC vs Tarboro

    We actually have our starting running back out. He tore his ACL in our third round game against Lakewood on a non contact play. We had to make some adjustments at running back against Wilson Prep, but that’s part of it. We just really hate it for the kid. He had worked so hard, just a great kid...

    WC vs Tarboro

    Let me tell you about number 3. It actually has to do more than just film and I’m glad that he has a coach advocating for him and I’m glad there are colleges taking the time to actually talk to him instead of saying stuff about him on a forum and just judging him based off of film. I’m learning...

    WC vs Tarboro

    I hate for any of these teams to deal with injuries this time of year. Our starting RB for West Columbus didn’t get to play against Wilson Prep and is out indefinitely with a torn ACL and other issues. It happened on a non contact play. He’s an even better baseball player, but more importantly...

    Wilson Prep vs West Columbus

    I’m not sure about the call, but what really bothers me is that I was told the Wilson Prep coach told his players that no matter what they needed to take number 3 out of the game. I’m not sure if that was said before or after his helmet was removed. Very disappointing. There were good players on...
