I like spending time with my son, so of course he goes to see his friends play, and I go with him to a lot of the games to watch the kids i have seen from tots to young men.
As far as our speed, I know we have at least 3 4.5 guys. I am sure that there are 2-4 more that are also 4.5, but I have not been able to confirm yet. One of our issues this year has been getting the ball to our skill players in space. I think that will improve as the season progresses

Add Hudson and Mease to that list
Exactly. It's hilarious that half the bashers on here don't have a clue what they are talking about. When we can literally name at least eight or ten players that shut their lame arguments up. It's so hard to remain humble amongst so much hatred.

You have one, yes one legit 4.5 guy, do you not understand how fast that is? Walker ran a 4.9 Monday a 5.0, and these are major college bound guys, keep thinking you have all that speed, and like a lot of people keep telling you, you are in for a suprise. No one is saying this isn't a good team, people are just saying be a little more realistic.

If you call what we seen against Murphy and Enka speed, then you are in for a rude awakening when you see even Hendo type speed. That 2006 Pisgah team had speed, multiple legit 4.5 guys this one, not so much. Wike is one of the, if not the fastest you have, and he isn't 100%.
Is also didn’t hurt having possibly the best quarterback we’ve ever had on the 2006 team.

sounds like you should stay in Raleigh.Seeing as you are afraid of your own shadow.You don't have a clue as to what is in these mountains mainly because you can't /won't remove your blinders and arrogance.Be well.
I found a video of our onslow friend being approached by some violent locals while staying in a motel in the mountains.

Your right, I'm going to be realistic. It's too early in the season to be in a dialogue about our ability or talent. Therefore, I will leave the arguments for now with something my grandpa taught me. We can show you better than we can tell you.
One caveat, our JVs will have a rough night tomorrow night and I hope Tuscola forms the basis of their opinions and game plans of our Varsity from that game.

Walker will be a tight end in college.They requited him for his hight, not his speed.

I have No clue about either the Varsity or JV of Tuscola, haven't seen either play this year, I am sure Postell will have the kids ready, he actually cares about this game, a lot more than some in the past few years.

These are also players that play different positions than the others mentioned above. I stand by my earlier statement.

And you are more than welcome to it, if we didn't all have differing opinions, this would be an extremely bland world to live in. I stand by mine as well.

So let me get this right, you have up to 7 guys who run a 4.5 40? Really? I would be surprised if we have 7 legit 4.5 40 guys in WNC. A 4.5 40 converts to a 10.87 100 meters. What is the 100 meter record at Pisgah? Last I knew, Greg Henson had it in the mid 80's and it was closer to 10.80 or 10.90. So you are telling me you have seven guys on the current team faster? James Martin, a two-time High School All-American at Tuscola has their record at 10.51, that would mean he was a legit 4.35 - 4.40 guy. Talk about the game all you want, but don't come on here spewing this complete fake garbage. If this is true, you will win the 4 x 100 in the conference by over three seconds in the spring. Support your team and be proud, but other than Reynolds and Hendo, no one has anywhere close to mediocre speed in the mountains. That is a fact.

Good to see you back Bamatide.Guess you figured those Mounties fans have forgotten about you being the one that recommended Pursley.

I have no problem recommending Pursley. The guy did a good job and was a leader of men. Most of those players actually LEFT Waynesville and went to college. You will never hear me knock Pursley, he was a Hall of Fame coach who rebuilt the program after a JV coach. I appreciate what he did for the program. Also, the guy didn't mail it all in for one game and suck the rest of the year. He was consistent every year with mediocre talent. Been busy and haven't had the time. Not on here to start a pissing match, but just calling it like it is. Give me a score Pisgah Bears. What are you thinking?

Bears 21 Tuscola 7. According to the Tuscola fans that's was his problem.

Only thing I don't agree with is the one game a year, Brett coaches up his team for that one game, and PHS does well after it, Tuscola coaches used to to the same thing, to him it was treated just as important as the rest of the games, and anyone who has ever been a part of this game on the field knows just how special it really is and its not just the same as the other games. Outside of last year, it was a conference game, i agree 100% on the rest though, and I have a ton of respect for Coach Pursely for what he has done during his entire career. That one game means a lot to a lot of people, including the kids, I mean I dare say you say someone like Doug Brooks thought or treated it like it was just another game, he would still be having that person running hills, through his entire retirement lol.

Spoken like an idiot.
There isn't a street in Canton or Waynesville I would be concerned about walking thru or driving through.Can you say the same? I highly doubt it.

Because your related to half of them. You fly the rainbow flag too ?

No matter the outcome.I like the way Postell is doing things.
Tuscola football will be fine in his hands. But there are a few things we have let slip in past years he is trying to revive as well.Things that were missing from the last several rivalry games that made a difference.That being said I pick Tuscola to win.

Hey, dumbass, mountain is abbreviated mtn, not mnt. You’d think someone with your elite pedigree would know that.

The only thing in those mountains I liked better than a Tuscola/Pisgah game was Ghost Town in the Sky. Ghost Town vanished, so this game is now #1 thing in that area!

There is a group of investors that has bought the Ghost Town property, and are hoping to bring it back to life, including new rides, new chairlift, etc. I hope they are successful.

Wikes for sure the fastest...I hate he's out for this game in his senior year...win or loose it would suck having to stand on the sidelines for this one
