    Myers Park open

    I don't actually think its' open. They promoted the DC. Things have kind of fallen off the wayside since Chadwick left. Don't understand why they did not give the job permanently to the interim coach after the spring Covid season.

    Cutty makes HC Change

    Yes, he's Sam's dad but did a real nice job as the OC at Sun Valley. DIdn't realize he was coaching at Cuthbertson this year. What happened with the last guy? Didn't he just get there? '

    Early look at some top 4A teams for the playoffs

    I think that avoidance of the Charlotte powerhouses is why their RPI is so low. The SOS is really bad.

    Clayton

    Thought he did a great job at Myers Park. Always enjoyed watching his teams play and he built MP into a fun place to watch a game on Friday nights.

    Cuthbertson

    Area out there continues to grow. Union County has a nice set up with their middle school feeders. This is a job with potential.

    Best/Worst Stadiums Visited in NC/SC

    Catawba Ridge and Nation Ford have the 2 best stadiums that I have been to in the Charlotte area. Really like the old school feel of Mooresville, Catholic and Myers Park. Need to venture outside of Charlotte to Richmond County.

    Hough High

    So the thought that this new CMS AD was going to crack down on this stuff is false ?

    New Meck HS

    That is kind of what I was wondering. It seems that if they are playing a varsity schedule next year, they will have upper classmen at the school. Just not set up to be very competitive with the players and coaches not even getting together until June.

    New Meck HS

    I've seen some schools release schedules with Palisades on there. Are they planning on playing Varsity next year?

    Mallard Creek

    I never try to bash coaches because they do an often thankless job for such little return financially but I too was wondering what qualifies this coach as a "great offensive mind". His team averaged less than 10 points a game this year and was not much better last year. I understand he was not...

    Vance at Myers Park

    Agreed. That is why I said you definitely have to consider byes and match ups in the playoffs. This year, I would certainly say that Vance beating AK and Hough is a lot tougher than NW Guilford and Panther Creek. I would push back on MP's last run to the Regional Final in 18. They won at Butler...

    Vance at Myers Park

    Pretty remarkable that this is Vance's 5th straight Regional Final. Looking back they have won 17 playoff games going back to 2016. They are no doubt the new preeminent 4A program in Charlotte. I think you can maybe make a case that Myers Park is the 2nd best team in that discussion, if you are...

    Grimsley v. Butler

    Butler has not been to the Regional Final since 2013. In 2016, the lost to Vance in the 3rd round.

    Independence looking for new head football coach

    No offense but how are they better? Even if you include the 2016 season, which was a throw away year considering they fired their coach the week of the first game, Indy was 30-20 in the 4 years before Natoli - and again that includes the 2-9 year in 2016. They won 3 playoff games in those years...
