They are. It was like playing a buzzsaw during the 3A season. They would pressure the ball so well that you couldn't get into your offense. They turned defense to offense about as quick as I have seen.
I graduated from Central Cabarrus in 1983. If my memory is correct, they opened their doors around 1967. My oldest brother still lives in the area. He said back in January he was planning to go see them play.
I believe that is correct. Gotta believe at some point the other brother will hit a growth spurt too. They will be incredibly skilled for their size.
They may have been the best team in the state this year including 4@. Their tallest player was 6'4 but they could play. Pressure defense and run the floor
Where did you graduate from? A.L. Brown Alum here.
Ok, I live in Rockwell. We had some battles in baseball back in the day with Brown. Hut Smith was a stud pitcher. You guys also had Maurice Blakeny and Mike Morton.
Those Brown teams had so much talent but Coach Boswell pretty much only ran the ball and when we were slowed down we couldn't pass at all. Also, we always ran into a juggernaut Greensboro Page team it seemed like every year.
I think Andy Smith pitched around the same time as Hut. Both played some minor league ball. The 89 State Championship team with Blakeney and Morton was damn good.
