I know it’s BC and we can’t control the conference but man am I glad the Dogs FINALLY get to play at home this week. 4 road games to start the season is brutal! I’ll admit, that road crowd Friday had that ruthless road playoff vibe.
I think you all complaining about the conference is over rated now. Majority of the teams there are teams ya'll used to play for years anyway.



Only Cherryville, BC, and Highland Tech are outliers. It's not the weak conference of the past anymore with just Burns and Shelby playing 1A's.

Even with the mess Friday, I am glad SC and Lincolnton provide competition and athletes. It was much worse before but we at least got more non-conference games to go with it.

In life there are lies, d@mn lies and statistics. And just saying, we played up or yall played down and comparing them based on nothing but the numbers is silly. Weddington is 7a, and so is McDowell.....anyone on these boards knows better than to compare those two teams. Shelby is 3a and so is Draughn.....we all know how competitive that game would be. Crest chose to play up against arguably one of the top programs in the state and we got beat (and should have).....and the points were not garbage time, and you dang well know it. Each year Shelby plays up against county schools, and wins some, and loses come but they are always competitive. Why because Shelby has a good program. But the whole classification only argument is ridiculous.

How is this for a ridiculous classification argument.

Since Shelby defeated Kings Mountain convincingly and took Crest to overtime on their field, can the case be made that Shelby, currently, would be favored over every team in all four classifications on a neutral field?

Think about that.
Then think about it again.

Yea, he got me on the convincingly part too. The only loss in the county that was convincingly was the final with Burns and KM. That game was 12-7 and KM ran away with it. The rest of the county games were neck and neck. I am convinced this dude wears a Shelby jersey to bed at night.

They are great Shelby fans and big supporters of the program. I have a friend that I have not seen wearing anything but a Crest shirt or a Bradley's shirt in at least 10 years. I would bet anything he sleeps in green at night. Great guy who loves his Chargers.

So I am hearing North Gaston might be packing it up for varsity the rest of the year and sending the eligible kids down to JV and only play JV the rest of the year. Might just be a rumor, but a source at SP said they are already looking for a game to replace them.
