    Top players in 1A history

    Nate Irving out of WRH played at NC State and was All American in 2006. Drafted by Denver and played for 4/5 years there and finished up with the Colts for a year. Watched TA McClendon his freshman year at State and thought---WOW----I know the knock on playing 1A ball but as has been noted by...

    Mount Airy vs East Wilkes Rematch

    Having watched both teams play(haven’t seen MA full team play but know the kids that were out are impact players) and last night at EW with #3 in line up, the rematch shouldn’t be even close if MA “team” shows up. However that’s why we play the game— good luck to both teams next Friday

    Who wins the new NWC next year?

    Mt. Airy will be tough to beat but I will hold off crowning them champions as they have to replace Poindexter--a big key to their success. They have talent in the wings but until I see who steps up I will hold my opinion. Elkin loses a lot but I think their JV team went undefeated so by some...

    Robbinsville vs WSP

    As buzz mentioned your CBs better stay on their man when he breaks contain(and he will) as he moves with his eyes down field--he does not look to run first. Think MA utilized a "spy" to help avoid losing him out of the backfield but IMO he looks to pass first even outside the pocket. East Surry...

    MA vs East

    It will be interesting to see how MA front seven handles the OL of ES who is very physical and smart--if ES goes strictly passing Boaz needs protection---if he gets happy feet his passes are not as accurate. It will also be interesting to see how the DB's of ES handles the passing game of...

    East Surry Vs Winston Salem Prep / MA vs SS

    MA is a good team and very physical upfront---heck pretty much everywhere. Poindexter is the deal and still has the ability to scramble and turn it into something nice--something I thought he might lose with the injury. IMO GSODBEARS is spot on with both predictions.

    NC senators to vote on bill increasing attendance

    He waited till opening week of home games for the college venue----if he does anything I expect it to be some percentage as was done for college in which I think that number will be way lower than we are thinking or hoping. If he doesn't address visiting teams then I would expect the NCHSAA to...

    NC senators to vote on bill increasing attendance

    I hope his number "if" he does anything isn't some crazy attendance percentage like he did for college football attendance which I think was like 7% capacity---we all were like 7--how was that derived---

    Fans ??

    This issue has been discussed in our household for the last few weeks. FWIW--We have traveled to two neighboring states to play volleyball within the last month to witness close to 1000 people in the arena at the same time---I will add that these events were held indoors however everyone was...

    Masks This Spring

    The players have worn masks for the sports that I have attended this year(volleyball and basketball). Basketball IMO would be tougher as that is a constant run whereas in football you do have some rest between plays. The rules do state that a player can receive an exemption from the mask if...

    4 weeks to go!

    Gentle Knight is spot on with the statement that an adjustment is needed for outside sporting events. For myself, I am having a hard time wrapping my head around my son playing football and me being 30 minutes to an hour away on away games. More for a peace of mind knowing the increased...

    North Stokes at Mount Airy

    Vikings are playing competitive football against teams they can be competitive against--all they can ask--MA might not be playing to the level some desire but MA has a good team and they are still MA

    Will split conf. be done away with next alignment?

    thunder is completely correct---split conferences for small 1A schools are very difficult for such as most will be just trying to survive much less compete.

    East Surry needs JV games

    North is scheduled to play Bishop for the first time this Thursday--the game scheduled for 8/29 was not played.
