    Kings Mountain @ Charlotte Catholic

    Maybe. Both teams will get better. Both have a high ceiling. Both can make a lot of noise in 6A. Catholic's feature back is just a sophomore and he is still just learning. Rule of thumb is you never want to play a good team a 2nd time if you won the first game. If they have to meet again...

    Kings Mountain @ Charlotte Catholic

    Interesting game. Major contrast in styles. Catholic wanted to play in a phone booth with their wing T and Kings Mountain wanted to play in space with their speed and athleticism. Catholic controlled the ball and the game for the most part as they probably had a 2-1 advantage in possession...

    Kings Mountain @ Charlotte Catholic

    King's Mountain has put some points on the board but has given up points too. Catholic took one from a tough Charlotte Christian team. Took one on the chin against Providence Day but was able to control the ball in spots. Totally outmanned in that one but so is almost every other team in the...

    Weddington @ Crest

    Hope this is a knock down, drag out, street brawl where both teams come out safe but sore, battered and bruised. My Catholic Cougars open conference play with Weddington the next week, although we will have our hands full with Kings Mountain this week. Props to Weddington. No cupcakes on...

    Charlotte Catholic at Providence Day 9/5

    Strict restrictions, pretty much one way flow out of Catholic. No restrictions, pretty much one way flow into PD. Catholic will find out how good they are but outmatched on paper.

    Grimsley vs Weddington

    These games are always about matchups. Weddington has one of the best defensive fronts I have seen in NC in the last 10 years. If they get heat on the quarterback, credentials don't matter. They also have the ability to keep the Grimsley back from getting to the second level. I see those as...

    Monroe @ Shelby

    Monroe did scrimmage with Weddington and Catholic in pre season. They held their own against both teams. My thoughts then were 2A better look out and posted it before the season ever started. I still think they are the odds on favorite and while Shelby will give them a game, Monroe will have...

    Grimsley vs Charlotte Catholic 11/29

    If they played 10 times, that might be the average. Catholic's style, approach and discipline are a pain in the *** for any team to prepare for. If they have enough horses to execute their game plan, they could frustrate Grimsley and make the one game they play very interesting. Grimsley...

    Richmond VS Clayton Round 2

    A long time NC coach (who will remain nameless) in the 70's and 80's commented on this phenomenon. One year, he went 10-0, won the conference and made a deep run in the playoffs. The next year, they went 1-9 and fans were asking for his head. He said than in a very brief span, he went from...

    Grimsley vs Charlotte Catholic 11/29

    Catholic will have to take the air out of the game with long methodical drives that limit Grimsley's possessions. Will need a couple of turnovers too. This alone can drive a high octane offense crazy and cause them to press. Catholic played a Havelock team loaded with D1 prospects a few years...

    Grimsley vs Charlotte Catholic 11/29

    OK. I am a Catholic partisan but I want some of what you're smoking. Definitely some strong stuff. A lot of things will have to go right for Catholic and wrong for Grimsley but I have seen some crazy stuff over the years. Grimsley, Hough and Weddington are head and shoulders above the rest...

    Independence at Hough and Mallard Creek and Watauga are tough Second Round matchups for sure

    Watching one Wing T team, and I am a proponent of the offense, can be interesting. Watching 2 at the same time has the potential to get boring. Makes for a fast game, however. Possessions become dear as you may only get 2 or 3 in a half.

    North Carolina High School ADM’s Are Out

    Reality is that neither school really cares where they wind up. They both have proven they can compete. If being in 8A means their longest bus ride for an away game is 10 miles, I assure you both schools would prefer to be in 8A.

    North Carolina High School ADM’s Are Out

    Always felt these two schools should at least scrimmage in the preseason or play an early season game. Rumors are if they do ever meet in the finals, the Pope is flying in to see this one.

    Charlotte Catholic vs Palisades 11/22

    Ugly win always better than a pretty loss.
