    Hough Football schedule 2026

    Hoggard or Millbrook. Maybe Rolesville if the new coach knows how to a run a program. Maybe Jordan but that would be a surprise, and they could end up in the west depending on the bracket. No one else can compete with those four. My guess is we get Millbrook v Hoggard in semifinal again. And...

    South Iredell Coaching Search

    I blame Sammy for getting me off topic. But I saw Doug Illing is back in NC coaching at Southeastern Christian Academy. It's a new program he is launching and he was hired by his buddy Mike Absher, who is the AD. Unfortunately I know nothing about Iredell County football and have nothing else...

    Football Coaching Openings

    I've heard some folks would be excited about Andrae Jacobs at Middle Creek. No clue if they would hire him or if he would leave, but it could be intriguing. He made a state championship at 6a level. I'm sure there are other successful sitting head coaches that want that job because of the talent...

    Football Coaching Openings

    Sammy I know you have some insight on this. Is it true that he has not been with the team at all since the week of Hoggard game? I know he did not coach in that game but I'm hearing conflicting stuff thru the rumor mill about his role after that. Also this seems like a top 5 job in the east. I...

    Boys Basketball West Regional 8A

    NFHS may not be reliable. I tried to watch the 5a SC Upstate final last week. NFHS showed the home team's empty gym instead of Wofford, where the game was being played.

    Boys HS Basketball Round 2

    Couple of interesting ones last night in 8a east. I really thought Leesville Rd had a chance to win the east, but they got picked off by Laney. Two Wilmington teams still alive! The crazy one was in west Cary. Panther Creek had already beat Green Level twice. GL was the last team in the field -...

    Boys Basketball Boys HS basketball season

    The last spot in the 8a playoffs comes down to the Hoke v Overhills game tonight. If Hoke wins they are in. If they lose Green Level is in.

    Ultimately I agree with you. But to play devil's advocate - there is a massive gap in the haves and have nots. It has been referenced already but to be more specific - some schools have constant coaching turnover, which means little to no offseason program, constant changing of offensive and...

    It is not here to that scale - at least not in Wake County, and I would guess most school districts in the state. There are some magnet schools in Wake County, but not all of them. And it is impossible to enforce transfer policies when a family lies or rents an apartment in a district. But what...

    I'll start by saying I am open to changing my mind on this. I have been a teacher and coach in NC for about 10 years. I agree that for athletics, school choice has been bad. I also agree with the folks who are upset about private school vouchers. But I don't have any issue from the academic...

    My concern is the increased frequency of the transfers and the general societal tolerance of it. I hear what you are saying, and I remember being frustrated losing to Independence High School every year in the playoffs 20 years ago when I played ball. So yes, it has always happened. But what...

    This gave me a good laugh. I think you are right - at least about Wake County doing nothing. Jury is out on whether or not I like it. I'm all for adapting with the times but this seems crazy. Especially because I'm not sure how much of a stretch your earlier post is.

    I'm hearing some people in Wake County are upset about a social media post from Millbrook encouraging people to transfer there. It will be interesting to see if WCPSS has any power to do anything about the transferring. I know districts have different policies on this, but there are several...
