    Does Dionte Neal have the best athletic resume in NC high school history?

    Really good article on another prep site. Neal keeps stacking up the stats. These are not meaningless “show off” stats, they have been accomplished as part of winning teams. Good for him. It’s a bit of a shame the height monster mauled him. I will be rooting for him in college.

    Baseball HS Baseball 7A/8A

    I will be following the Carolina Coast Conference (formerly Mid Eastern). This is a 7A/8A conference. Based on returning players, I think the top 2 teams will be New Hanover 7A and Laney 8A. New Hanover returns a lot of experience and has 3 solid pitchers. As long as they can score a few...

    Does Dionte Neal have the best athletic resume in NC high school history?

    I agree he is an awesome player and can hold his own but can he lead a 7A or 8A team to several straight championships in both sports. Unlikely. Without the state championships this thread wouldn’t exist.

    Does Dionte Neal have the best athletic resume in NC high school history?

    Without doing lots of research, I would guess Neal ranks up there with the most accomplished. I grew up in Wilmington at the same time as Jordan and his teams never made it past the second round. Understand that “back in the day” every team didn’t make the playoffs- usually only 2 from a...

    Must read article on charters in NCHSAA

    Very well written article Trey. I think within the next decade or two the problems at the 1A, 2A and 3A level will trickle up to higher classifications as enrollment grows and charters become more the norm. I am a public school advocate but I do understand some of the problems public school...

    Way too early 2026 Preview

    Any one that regularly reads these forums knows that I have nothing but good things to say about Tarboro football and its posters so this may seem like a negative comment- but here it goes. These statements apply to any football program in NC. Green writes, first of all they have loads of...

    West>East: WHY?

    I think North Duplin gets over shadowed by its larger neighbors- James Kenan, East Duplin and Wallace-Rose Hill. But yes, they all have a State Championship.

    West>East: WHY?

    A quick look at the record books shows the disparity is only in football. The baseball, basketball and soccer championships are more evenly spread out if not slanted to the east since 2000. Soccer at the highest level 4A is dominated by the east. 3A is evenly split. Baseball at the highest...

    FINALLY…Tarboro vs. Murphy for the ship…who ya got?

    Congratulations to Tarboro - I have that phrase saved and I just cut and paste every year!!! Thanks to both teams for keeping it civil and valuing your opponent. Here are a few of my thoughts after this weekend - over all the classifications. Speed - after sitting around the cafe table...

    Football Black knights vs Wilson Prep

    I watched some of this game from the deer stand - what kind of hunter am I? Certainly a Boone and Crockett monster slipped by while I viewed these young men giving it their all. I was impressed by the physical play of both teams, “fly around and put the hat on somebody”. (Quoted my football...

    Millbrook vs Hough

    I didn't expect much from Millbrooks offense but I was very impressed with their defense. Not too much different than the Wake Forest teams from a few years ago with a great D and an underwhelming O. I expected more from Hough’s offense. As an eastern guy I was afraid of a 35-7 game.

    Football Black knights vs Wilson Prep

    If I am not mistaken, coach said it was the 1st FG and they hadn’t attempted a PAT either.
