South Columbus at Whiteville
- Thread starter Loveboat
- Start date
Have not seen whiteville play but their unbeaten for a reason and I dunno if the stallions have the horses to run with the pack this year….
South has been without their best player on offense the last couple of weeks I dunno if he returns this Friday or not but it’s a huge deal if he’s not playing
Souths defense is kinda bend but not break type defense and they can really get after the QB….
They’ll have to have their best game to have a chance Friday but that’s why they play the game …
GO STALLIONS!

South definitely could’ve won that game. To me, we left points on the field, and in a two-point loss, those decisions matter.
After our first touchdown, a bad snap led to a missed PAT. That happens. But I’ve always believed you shouldn’t chase that point until the score and time remaining make it necessary. On our next touchdown, we went for two and got stopped. We went for two again after our final touchdown and got stopped again. If we kick and make those two extra points, that’s the difference in the final score right there.
The other decision I questioned was going for it on fourth down inside the five. They’d already shown they could stop us in short-yardage situations, so I would’ve taken the field goal. Nothing is guaranteed, but we have two capable kickers, and we’ve shown we can make a long one against Fairmont. We went for it and came away with nothing.
I love our coaching staff, think they’re very good, and I’m glad we have them. You can support the coaches and still disagree with a few calls. I also know it’s a whole lot easier to make those decisions from the stands than it is on the sideline.
I’m not saying any one play guarantees a different outcome, but I think those missed opportunities were a big part of why we lost. The officiating didn’t help either, but you have to take advantage of your chances so the game doesn’t come down to a referee’s call.

I am not quite sure if winning tonight will get them the one seed..... OWP and OOWP has really taken a toll on whitevilles RPI these past few weeks. Northeastern plays Pasquotank tonight who I expect them to beat and that will only improve their RPI. I would not be surprised if there is not movement in the top 3 of 3A east.
Now if Whiteville did lose tonight they could drop a couple spots but I do believe they pull it off. Very impressive team loaded with youth. Will be even more of a handful next year.
Last nights JV game was a thriller with the Stallions able to win in the final seconds …
hoping for more tonight
GO STALLIONS

I'm thinking 34-14 Whiteville..... Whiteville is good this next year (core of the team is sophmores),but will be even better next season,
It’s bad when you don’t have a team. I feel sorry for you.
South’s defense actually played well. They were put in some tough situations with the offense turning the ball over about six times. Then, when they did make a big play, it seemed like it always got called back by a flag that had nothing to do with the play…
That’s football, though.
I knew our offense would struggle with #15 out, and we always seem to come out sluggish after a week off. It was the perfect storm Friday night. But the bigger loss was losing four starters to injuries during the game, including one of our best defensive players. That leaves a lot of questions heading into next week.
I do think South will surprise some people over the next two years, though. Y’all talk a lot about Whiteville’s youth, but the Stallions are very young, too.
GO STALLIONS!
