    Greater Piedmont 1A/2A

    It was a chippy game with lots of penalties on both sides and ejections. Both better cleanup the penalties and stupid stuff to keep winning and do anything in the playoffs.

    Looks like they share the load and have six capable runners. Two over 600 yards on the season. Not much on the passing stats.

    If The Playoffs Started Today 3A/4A

    ED and Trinity will not help, but will not hurt much either. PG will likely be 6-4 and keep them where they are. I do not see #5 ER losing their last few games so they are likely settled at 5. Lincolnton is right behind the dogs at #7 but only has one team left with a winning record. I guess...

    I think Thomasville will win out and be 9-1 and might be higher than a 5 seed. They already beat the 2nd best team in the league and the others are marginal at best. Glad to see them coming back strong and having a solid season. New coaches are doing a great job with that talent,

    North Rowan vs North Stanly

    They always have speed and size. Once you get into the 2nd round and beyond all the teams are solid and the speed factor is typically deleted by good coaching and solid defensive play (tackling). NR should have won a state title or two before now with all the athletes and size they have had in...

    Robbinsville may finish 5-5 but they will be a tough team in the 1A playoffs and make a decent run.

    Greater Piedmont 1A/2A

    This weeks slate of games includes a few key matchups. S Davidson 4-3 vs. S Stokes 5-2: This is a big RPI game for both teams and conference standings. S Stokes currently sitting at the top of the league tied with C Central is 5-2. They have an explosive offense led by a speedy #1 who can...

    Difference in a big program and a small school for sure. I have seen that happen also. A guy with big credentials struggles to get it going. Ego is part of the coaching industry, but you have to listen to your guys. However, the ones making the suggestions are not the ones people want to...

    Coach Riley joins the Maroon Devils after a highly successful tenure at Cleveland High School in Clayton, NC, where he served as Head Coach since 2014. During his time there, he led his program to an incredible overall record of 130 wins and only 27 losses. His teams have been dominant, securing...

    What’s going on at Salisbury ?

    Salisbury has the athletes and typically good numbers. The level of competition is up and some may have left. There have been some years that they got some kids from other schools also. Do those tall kids from Bball play football or just focus on bball year round?

    Word is N Moore stopped their last game in the 3rd quarter last week and the season may be over?

    I ran the distance from C Central to the East schools. I guess the closest would be Wilson Prep 99 miles, E Columbus 116 miles and SB Howard 106. I think there will be byes for most of the 1-5 seeds on both sides, maybe the 6's in the first round.

    Greater Piedmont 1A/2A

    Current Standings with some big games this week. Week 7 recap found Bishop losing a 2nd conference game and putting themselves out of the hunt for the league title. S Stokes keeps winning and has secured a winning season. SD and WSP have a huge game this week for conference placement and RPI...

    What’s going on at Salisbury ?

    I have said it more than once. They are no longer in a 1A/2A league with 900-1000 kids playing schools teams with 350-700 kids and 25-40 players. They are playing schools their size and the natural size and speed advantage they had the last 10 years or so in 2A is gone. No more games won by...
