    Grimsley vs Charlotte Catholic 11/29

    Where were the CC faithful last night? I’ve attended a number of CC road games in the past and this had to be the smallest crowd I’ve seen. No band and just 5 or so cheerleaders.

    Oak Grove

    Crest will beat OG by 3 TD's. OG lacks the inherent fortitude to respond to the onslaught that Crest will charge to Midway with. OG has played a schedule of teams with a combined record of 45-72 (.384) and only one team is still in the playoffs (West Forsyth to whom they lost). Only two teams on...

    Am I seeing this correctly? Reynolds/Dudley

    Don't forget High Point, Gibsonville, and McLeansville. In fairness to Dudley, they maximize their players' abilities. They have good coaches and the program recruits itself.

    Thomasville FB

    Who was unproven? Mattera came to THS with a 4 year record of 34-14 (2010-2013). Maxwell had a 10-win season at Ledford (2001) before toiling in obscurity for 8 years with Allegheny and N Wilkes as a HC (2003-2007, 2009). Robertson’s record speaks for itself (2009 State Champion @ Reidsville...

    Thomasville FB

    Why stay?

    We are now up to 71 coaching changes for the 2023-2024 cycle. While the number does seem high, it's still lower than the 97 from 2022-2023 cycle. Will there be more as NC approaches the end of the school year? Link: https://www.highschoolot.com/story/2023-2024-football-coaching-changes/21081663/

    Ragsdale Vacancy

    Wow! I didn't expect the Ragsdale opening to generate as much drama as it has. Good luck to Stevenson and Ragsdale. Good luck to Northeast on finding a new coach. That's a tough spot to be in - to think you had a coach and now you have to open up the hiring process again.
