[Darkhorse04]

Wow, 17th….I like it.

 

[FarWestNorthCarolinaSports]

SWO

 

[beamer24]

2A West is loaded again

 

[SWO-4LIFE]

SWO will be top 20 by season end

 

[FarWestNorthCarolinaSports]

Top 20 in the east?

That translates to about 50th in state.

I'm just giving the swo #1 fan a hard time. He does it to everyone 1a-4a.

 

[egfan]

I think East Gaston is too high. We should be ok this year, but we lost a lot from last year.

 

[BaldAt25]

Clinton would beat the brakes off about 7 of the teams ranked ahead of them. Top 6 in the East is their floor imo. In fairness if you’re ranking 20 teams you gotta throw em somewhere.

 

[Maiden Creek]

Wow, 17th….I like it.

Like a tee ball in the woods!…ain’t nothing worse than hearing your buddies say…”We can find that!”….after you hit your tee ball.

Bagger Vance that ball on the green…week 2.
I dare ya!

 

[Maiden Creek]

2A West is loaded again

Yes it is!

Just imagine…that this West list is the playoff seedings.

Let’s see….how ‘bout # 7…. They would play…26 Bunker Hill, 10 Polk, 2 @Monroe, 3 @Reidsville, 1 @Shelby.

Piece of cake!

It’s preseason and it’s maxpreps I wouldn’t worry bout it. With the way things went last season I said before I wouldn’t expect much favor in any ranking or polls no pressure. Week 2 you get a chance to come to the fore front.

That week2 game is gaining momentum. Should be a packed house and a good Ole fashioned slobber knocker

 

[Maiden Creek]

I think East Gaston is too high. We should be ok this year, but we lost a lot from last year.

Honestly….ain’t sure who we would move in front of East Gaston.

Just saying.

From 12-16 I know Clinton would eat them alive

 

[swe98]

Nash Central?
Throw this whole list away.

 

[GrizzlyDevil]

Yes it is!

Just imagine…that this West list is the playoff seedlings.

Let’s see….how ‘bout # 7…. They would play…25 Bunker Hill, 10 Polk, 2 @Monroe, 3 @Reidsville, 1 @Shelby.

Piece of cake!

It'd be vs #26 first correct?

 

[Maiden Creek]

Oops….I meant 26 Bunker Hill. Ugh!

You know I hate playing conference teams in the playoffs.

We will see. Some pics of our guys from last nights scrimmage.

That’s always a big game rivalry game

Max preps must know something I don’t. No way should JK be over Clinton. I like Otis’s WC Eagles ranked up there. Clinton should be 7th or higher. Week 2 game is big for both WRH and Clinton but Clinton’s biggest game is St Paul’s. St Paul’s should be ranked higher. WRH biggest will be ED and JK.

They don’t.

I agree with all you’ve said….can’t wait for week 2….that’s gonna be a great one.

East Duplin - Princeton too.

Best of luck to all 4 teams.

 

[Vik-Val 86]

I Max Prep has Salsibury over Maiden. I wouldn’t be surprised that would be a good game between the 2 if they were to play. The top 10-15 in 2A definitely will be tough teams to deal with regardless of who they will be.

 

[Hitman2042]

I'll maybe seeing one question mark in the top five in the east and that's northeastern I think they is over hype and overrated every year they get into the playoffs and they seem to choke in the playoffs. A couple of teams need to move up and they need to move down I do not like what they be selling.

 

[Tiger_Pride21]

I understand that you guys want your big name programs at the top, but I wouldn't overlook those Tigers at JK. Truth be told, when they went to live game situations at the scrimmage at Whiteville, Jk did something to Hoggard that Wallace didn't do. Made them go three and out, and drove down the field and scored on them. Ijs the game is going to be played on the field and not on paper.

Yal not sneaking up on anyone. Everything I mention favs in our conference, it's wrh, ed, and jk. Scrimmage games are practice though. I'm a believer though

I wouldn't call them chokers anymore, per say. They have made it to the championship twice in recent years. I used to think that they were soft af, but not anymore. Can't make it every year. Now MY school....we choke lol. But as far as the EAST goes, NE is up there.

With the “talent” they had ? I don’t know about that. Then again, they had only had 1 true D1 recruit. Fletcher to State.

Don't let their posters here tell it. According to them, the second string is full of D1 recruits.

 

[BuckSweepSports910]

I don’t think Northeastern was overrated I mean only two teams have been able to beat them in the postseason the last what 4 years and that’s Wallace and Reidsville.

 

[catawbavalleyexpert]

Newton Conover has no business being ranked

 

[Chopper747]

https://www.maxpreps.com/rankings/football/1/state/north-carolina.htm

Shelby-5 , Monroe-18, and WRH-20 made the top 25 overall

 

[GrizzlyDevil]

The doubt in Maiden is obviously bc of QB position.

I'm very interested in seeing the change in everyone's tune once we start burning people. I'm not saying doubt is unwarranted...but this much doubt is disrespectful to every other senior on the team that has busted their asses for 3 years.

Edit the 1st one….they may get there when it’s all said and done… but they ain’t right now.

 

[Maiden Creek]

Shelby could possibly move up next week if they beat Kings Mtn.

Hough plays Dutch Fork
Chambers plays Gibbons

I could see Shelby at 4 or maybe 3….have mercy!

“2nd to none” would run through the 4a boards like a naked streaker wearing golden shoes…..if they get to #1.

After Km we have AC Reynolds and the rejuvenated Crest Chargers. Does not get much tougher for a 2a team.

 

[Shelby Lion]

I could see us taking a lump or two in the non-conference or regular season, but when it comes to 2a teams

There wont be many that can match the line play (both side of ball) we will be bringing to the table this year...

That coupled with the firepower on the offensive side of the ball, we will be hard to stop..

We may have to outscore teams this season, but it should be another great year......Burns, Maiden, Reidsville, Monroe. WRH, Clinton etc etc etc will have something to say about it.....But they all know to get to the top they are going to have to beat us..... Not being egotist, being honest and realistic and they all know it...

I could add on, but I'll use restraint here

Of course not, not at all

It is so hard for you to hide your love for the Lions.

MaxPreps always does a terrible job with these preseason rankings. First mistake I see is having Northern Guilford ranked the highest in their county and they are like the 4th-5th best. If chambers is 1 then Dudley is arguably 1 or top 2. They ranked Clinton lower than some teams that’s questionable. I guess that’s what the games are played for though so we will see.
