    West>East: WHY?

    Lots of interesting ideas and supportive data. But I would like to know the most important piece of objective data that led to this thread. What is the all-time W-L record of West vs. East in state championship games - all classifications? NCpreps may already have this information? If not...

    Maiden @ Brevard

    Brevard was definitely the better team. Maiden also has really good skill position players, it's just that you couldn't tell it so much because Brevard dominated both sides of the line of scrimmage. Not sure if it's technique, scheme, or both, but Maiden definitely has some work to do on pass...

    Maiden @ Brevard

    Zero doubt that Brevard was the best team. Very disappointed the game wasn't the competitive game it was predicted to be. Brevard controlled the trenches on both sides of the ball against us the same way Hickory and East Lincoln did. Maiden had a good season. We have at least a dozen or...

    Football Western Foothills 4A/5A - 5th round

    Per Brevard weather report, game time temperature will be about 40 degrees, and rain chance is less than 10%. Couldn't ask for more in early December. The problem might end up being fog.

    Maiden @ Brevard

    Well remember that game. We led 18-13 with less than one minute remaining in the game. We had Brevard in a third and eleven, or maybe it was even a fourth and eleven (can't remember for sure) from about the Maiden 20 yard line. Maiden LB #11 (name?) blitzes from the boundary side and was not...

    Football Western Foothills 4A/5A - 4th round

    Max verifies your Maiden numbers exactly. Nothing posted on Hibriten's stats, but I'm sure you're very close. What an absolutely dead even game. Just looking at the score by quarters would tell you that. I was worried at halftime because, by my count, Hibriten had been penalized eight times...

    Football Western Foothills 4A/5A - 4th round

    All of the remaining teams are legit. Maiden will need to be focused, and play a 48 minute game. If Hibriten held a S. Cramer team to 9 points after Cramer hung 60 points on Bandys, no one can claim that Hibriten hasn't been tested.

    4A ELITE 8

    Maiden vs. Hibriten should be a good game. The Blue Devils running game and offensive line play was much better vs. Newton-Conover than when we played them during the final game of the regular season. Our passing game was average at best, but we didn't really need to rely on it this particular...

    Who wins it this year

    Thanks for the good news. Much appreciated. I honestly believe we have the team to make a run this year if we can get better OL play. Our QB is pretty accurate with his throws when he isn't being constantly pressured, and RB Wingate gives 100% every time he touches the ball. Glad to hear the...

    Who wins it this year

    Love how you're thinking, but Maiden will need much better OL play than they've been getting in order to make a serious run. Honestly, Maiden's OL play, both run blocking and especially pass blocking, has been really bad over the last four games. Not sure how many sacks, QB pressures, and...

    Football Western Foothills 4A/5A - Week 11

    Great info as usual from you Grizzly. The "modern day" N-C Maiden rivalry really began in 1973 when Newton became a member of the old SD-7. Prior to that, they hadn't played each other for many years. Starting in 1973, Newton dominated early. Through the first 17 games, Maiden was 4-12-1...

    Football Western Foothills 4A/5A - Week 10

    Starmount leads the all-time series against Maiden 6-2, 5-2 in the playoffs and one regular season win. They've always seemed to have Maiden's number, especially in the close games. Playoff games: Starmount won 26-22 in 1987. A late fourth quarter kickoff return did Maiden in on that one...

    Football Western Foothills 4A/5A - Week 10

    I agree that Maiden should have won state championships in 1998 and 1992. Both seasons ended in nightmare losses to teams Maiden was clearly better than, 17-14 in OT to Starmount in the1998 western state title game, and 14-6 to West Brunswick in the 1992 state championship game. Maiden led...

    Football Western Foothills 4A/5A - Week 10

    Good point. Certainly not trying to take away from the amazing things that Tom Brown accomplished at Maiden. He's certainly one of the best high school coaches of all time. Extremely few would have a .767 W-L % over 33 seasons. Just pointing out what Byrne has accomplished over almost nine...

    Football Western Foothills 4A/5A - Week 10

    Interesting note. Tom Brown's all-time record at Maiden (only) was 330-98-6. Counting the 6 ties as 1/2 win and 1/2 loss, his WL% at Maiden was .767. Through this past Friday's game vs. Bandys, HC Will Byrne's record is 89-27. That exactly matches Tom's WL% of .767 to this point in Byrne's...
