Wow, in the years that I've been using NCPreps I've meet many a fine persons through this site. I recall the days when I found a Site talkin Football which our own Deana King was running. And that was ./.. golly back in the late 90's? So yes, I do use this site, for insights on up coming games. How to find the next Stadium, and even good spots to stop and eat. Through it all I've enjoyed so very much. Here's some of things I have found so cool. I can recall many of our Swain posters playing the game they loved so much wearing their Maroon. I've seen so many games now they've started to run together....LOL. As a fan I've had the pleasure of seeing 8 State Titles come to our little neck of the woods. Seen some great kids become fine young men and even Fathers. I recall the days of Boyce, yeah I was one of those kids way back in '77, and I wonder just how lucky I am to see so many great kids, players, teams and fans! Not only from Swain County but from all over this great State we call home.

I'm thankful for the good people I've seen and spoke too. I hope I didn't come off as too much of a Red Neck. LOL I know we've lost some fine posters too. I cried the day Maiden's Biggest Fan past, I got to speak to him and exchange a few E mails before he was called home. I think that we live in a great Age where we can use our home computers to follow high school football to such an extent. I recall in the "old days" we got our sound bites" from the Radio or our local papers. Now we can sit at home and find out play by play through the internet. Anyway I'm rambling again, just wanted to say thanks to all ya'll, for posting up and sounding off. Keep up the good work but always remember these players are 16 to 18 yr olds so be kind to'em.

Good luck to all on this next great season of football! 2015. GO BIG MAROON!

Hey Kevin, well said! Five Thousand and still going strong. You are one of the very few that catch my attention each time I log on to NCpreps. Keep up the good work and keep us all up-to-date on anything maroon.

I too would like to thank Deana on maintaining such a great website. I had the privilege of meeting her so long ago that she probably don't even remember old Diablo.
While I am at it I may as well send out some kudos to our own Maroon Devils Network for the job they do so well.

Back to the matter at hand............Happy 5,000 cheesehead!

Congrats on your milestone post. Many people talk but only a few ever say anything, you're one of the latter.

I enjoy the game and banter much as you do.

As others have already stated, your candor and opinions have always made for good reading, and your support for your Maroon and White is, and has always been undeniable.....
