Why don’t you address the Shelby softball field issue and why the girls do not have a field on campus there instead of putting your opinion on something you have no knowledge of.
I’ll wait

Yeah thats why every comment u make on here is about the Lions....try again
Don't shy away from what I was asking, why don't them kids get better then the cafeteria
Lions are only ones that pop off despite the losing streak and 3A ball. You all don’t learn and shy away from playing Reidsville.

To be fair it is the offseason and this is just what Crest and Shelby fans do. You don't shy away from Crest playing way better teams in way bigger games my friend. Shelby playing 3a ball is the only way they won a ring. That's not disrespectful it's simply fact. You know it too.

That ring might as well have came out of a crackerjack box. It's ours anyway.

Also, you are correct. Crest could do much better on the banquet end of things. Quite pitiful in retrospect. But I'm just thankful we don't have to crap in a prison toilet on the home side anymore. We don't have that Shelby money for nice fancy things all that often. So it was fancy banquet or toilet stalls with doors...

The doors won...
Amen on that bathroom part😂

Seeing as how we have the exact same setup, it was nice being able to walk into a bathroom in the winter time and not have to scoot past the dudes trying to take a hit off a black and mild while passing the white liquor around. That's what the guy that scooted past me while I was taking a drink a few years ago said anyways. 👀 :cool:

I will give my pre spring CC predictions :
Of course these are always on point each year , but subject to change …
1. Crest - will be 6-0 in CC after this coming season
2. Shelby - Kirby flew in all you need to know
3. Burns- could be 2 if Shelltown has issues at QB but being the last game should benefit Sink hole High
4. KM just too young to compete with the big boys again

That is what I love about this thread….Unbiased posts day in and day out from everyone…it is refreshing😂😂

But seriously CC is the standard, and what everyone else strives to be.

If it comes down to coaching that list is mostly correct. I’d swap 2 and 3 but that’s me.

They’re doing all they can to make KM into a winner by acquiring talent. That’s good. Because Moe hasn’t coached up NO ONE!

Kirby aint the only one flying in, Bama was there a couple days ago..

Shelby goes as far as the QB (whoever that will be) can adjust... Talent on both sides in droves....
Crest will find a work horse running back and Coach will line up in the dang wildcat and he will bowl over everyone
Burns like Shelby will go as their new QB will take them ... They got Max ...enough said
KM is the scary dark horse... Bunch of talent remaining and they've bought a couple future stars LOL..... Ole Moe better put up this year if they gonna do anything....

Defense will be the stars of the county early on as we all gotta find a QB...they will be a lot of running backs early on We got a monster in the making, Burns has a stud (No clue who Crest and KM has returning)


Oh yeah greatest thread in history of preps.....Aint another close and never will be another close....

Crest fans can be notoriously thin skinned so I will say this as gently as possible, I believe Crest lose multiple games in the County. In my opinion Burns and KM are better across the board than Crest 1-22 but that could change later. I also give Crest points for coaching with Barnes and their DC.
I think Shelby has more higher end talent than Crest but Crest has way more depth than Shelby so that game will be a toss up again. Best two teams in the county are Burns and Kings Mountain. I would say Crest is #3 but Shelby will be desperate to get a ‘W’ on Crest this season. In a loaded county season, all four teams will make deep runs in the playoffs this season. I think Burns and Shelby will get to the state championship game if they can hold off Cramer and Lincolnton in the west. If Crest gets back to the title game they will win it again but the 5A west is a tough road.

You may be right but you don't know. You're just guessing. I mean let's go back and look at your predictions every year. You've been wrong and on the wrong side of things for a minute. And thin skinned is your team getting dragged 70 to 0 and YOU not showing back up for a few weeks on here to take your come up'ins.



This is how I picture you.

As for a preseason number 1 in 3A I will definitely go with Eastern Randolph. They were a load last year with most of their team back.

Give us all a break.. All y'all did was blame the refs for that debacle. Every team we played from the second week of the playoffs onward would have beaten ER like a HOE!!!!

Burns and KM the best two? In what world is this in? Crest's defense will be very good. The DL should be elite.

Stowe and Dobbins are pretty good. That unit was really good last year and 3 starters are back. I know they're nothing like that uber elite KM D line though.

Just have to laugh at KM folks , the most delusional fanbase in the County
Sorry we don’t have elite defense as you say we don’t , let’s make a bet Crest finishes ahead of KM in County and runs Moe out of town , heck Moe wanted to quit the night he got 70 put on him.
Always young , great team at KM amounts to nothing in the last 101 years.
around mid season again it will start there’s issues off the field , coaches don’t get along , the 6th grader parents are mad he ain’t starting
Spare us
Win something till then you will be at the bottom of the County pecking order.
KM has the highest roster payroll in the County

Not what I was saying. I think we all agree that the kid at Shelby playing defensive end is elite talent. Thompson at Crest is elite talent. At the moment those are the best two players in the county. When I say elite I am viewing it through that level of talent. Elite guys are game changers on the high school level. I think there are a few kids who have a chance to break into that elite status. T Hollifield, Hutchins, Jarrett, and Stowe. Stowe has elite “measurements” which is why his recruiting has taken off but he doesn’t have the elite on the field production YET. Thats not a dis.
CC is blessed to with many solid to very good football players. Solid is potential to play football at the next level and elite is power 4 talent with the on field production to match.

Coach Lloyd was at Cramer today talking to the boys. Great guy, and glad our guy has a mentor like him to lean on and talk to for advice.

Reading comprehension is at an all time low so I expect nothing less than your rabid drool. Testing excuses kind of early this year. Why do 57 times whatever worry about what 0 times is saying anyway lol. You guys are okay in my book, some days anyway…

I thought it was a chance also because of the two sport factor and the connection to a couple of players/coaches in the program. I did hear the family was looking at full time relocation to Charlotte. I am surprised it was WC but their incoming coach did coach the older brother at Indy.

KM still got a shot if things aren’t right there I could still see him at KM down the line

Which kids go to which schools? Just wondering which players to watch out for at each school. Does all 4 CC schools have some solid to elite talent?

All four schools are loaded with talent. There are good players all around the county. Max Davis, Markalen Camp, Ussery, Wells, and several big boys in the trenches for Burns; Collins, Raper, both Hollifields, Woods, and Williams at Shelby; Thompson, Melton, Stowe, Dobbins, and Albright at Crest; Hutchins, Jarrett, Dawkins, Ingram, Branch, Byers, and Camp at Kings Mountain. Definitely didn’t name all the good players in the county but you will hear these names all year.

With that said this thread is approaching 925 thousand views.... No doubt we make a million views, which I seriously wonder out of all the On3 different threads etc is anything remotely close....
No chance it's happened. This is the number 1 of ALL TIME! It has to be bro.
