    Dudley @ New Hanover

    To further elaborate: There is a BIG difference between OPEN CHOICE and OPEN ENROLLMENT. OPEN ENROLLMENT means any kid who lives in the county can enroll in that school. In other words, everyone who applies gets in. NO HIGH SCHOOL IN NEW HANOVER COUNTY IS OPEN ENROLLMENT. NHHS has not been...

    Dudley @ New Hanover

    Port - I have posted about this MANY times. NHHS IS NOT OPEN ENROLLMENT. PERIOD. PARAGRAPH. END OF DISCUSSION. NHHS is JUST LIKE Laney, Ashley and your beloved Hoggard - OPEN CHOICE. NHHS went from open enrollment status to open choice status in 2012. Under open enrollment, any high school kid...

    Top Teams in East 2017

    My VERY early opinion on the 3AA East list of likely contenders. In ALPHABETICAL ORDER (along with MY QUICK CHECK of their 5 year overall records, 5 year playoff records, and deepest playoff runs in the last 5 years): Cape Fear 41-21 overall; 6-4 playoffs; 4A State Championship Game 2016...

    MEC WEEK 9

    Port - I keep seeing your posts about Hoggard and Laney GIVING NH the wins. Yet you come on here and say WB "flexed their muscles" and beat NH last night. You fail to mention: 1. NH picked up a fumble on WB's first possession last night and looked as if they would score only to have the...

    MEC WEEK 8

    The NH - Laney game was an old fashioned dog fight. These two got after it HARD. I suspect both teams are glad to get an extra day to rest with NH at WB next week and Laney playing Hoggard. Watkins is the real deal and the Laney defense is solid. Special teams and NH being able to stay balanced...

    MEC Week 7

    Did someone call? I expect a close one. Simmons Ratings likes the Cats by 2. I like the team with the fewest turnovers.

    New Hanover 52 - Hillside 15. Final

    Thanks Hornet. Hillside has a classy bunch and you guys brought a nice crowd to town last night. The NHHS coaching staff put together an excellent game plan and the players went out and executed it perfectly. It was a complete performance by all three phases (offense, defense and special teams)...
