Like most rankings they are just going off last year. They don’t take into consideration youth, transfers etc. the cream will rise by week 5. As far as Shelby goes I don’t think they will have much trouble with ACR. They have a solid D but no offense. If Shelby can score 14 they will win. I don’t see that being a problem either. ACR is in decline. I know I will catch it for saying so but just watch. Hopefully my Horses are on the way back up. It sure is looking like we may be. It’s been miserable for the most part since Ford retired
2022 Max Preps 2a rankings
- Thread starter Maiden Creek
- Start date
Yeah Northern is def behind Dudley and Grimsley. But I guess they could be third in the county
Every team has seniors that have played 3 years. Doesn't mean the team should be thought highly of.

I'll rephrase...this group of seniors...a majority of them have started on varsity for the past two years...two years with only two losses..
They deserve more credit than their QB graduating and dropping like they did.
East Davidson at #19 in the West. Hmmm.......
Should be a pretty good game in Climax this Friday night. I'm gonna be really interested to see who is behind center for PG.

I ain’t buying the lump or two…I just don’t see it happening.
However….I will buy some of those Crest 50/50 tickets if you happen to run across a few.
just saying.
Y’all throttled them last year…they did seem to improve especially with that big win against Thomasville….but y’all might as well go ahead and beat them again.
I think you will.
I hope so. It'll be interesting. As far as skill players, I think PG will be in pretty decent shape. I'm just concerned about the trenches.Y’all throttled them last year…they did seem to improve especially with that big win against Thomasville….but y’all might as well go ahead and beat them again.
I think you will.
The CCYFL (Cleveland County Youth Football league ) had their weigh ins yesterday at Crest... I ran across some dude that used to coach somewhere in the Crest system so I bought several....If I win the next meal we all share im buying ha ha ha haI ain’t buying the lump or two…I just don’t see it happening.

Lots of great kids yesterday hundreds showed up for our weigh ins.. This league is exceptional and always has been, preparing these kids for middle and high school...
We've even added a team from Rutherford county and Kings mountain for a total of 9 teams...
Upper Cleveland
Springmore
Boiling Springs,
Number 3 township
Union Elementary
Shelby Lions *City park teams
Top Prospect (Out of Rutherford County)
Elizabeth (formely Shelby panthers) now Elizabeth again
Kings Mountain Little mounties
The annual kickoff jamboree will be held at Shelby high this saturday beginning at 8am.... All half game situations
yall come out and support your future, Lions, Bulldogs, Chargers , Mounties it will be a great day.. I think its 5 bucks at the gate..... support these kids, it means a lot... I cant express now proud I am of being able to coach a lot of these kids that now are starters on a couple county teams... ..They county kids has a special place in my heart....
I saw on social media the mother for the Lions midget team was super excited that her son made weight for being a ball carrier. I had totally forgotten about weigh-ins.
That kid is going to be special, too. They take that weight thing seriously. You don’t make weight, you get a stripe on your helmet, and you can’t run the ball in any capacity. I remember Dax Hollifield as a youth player, and he always being over the limit to run the ball.

We've lost by 2 to you guys the last couple years. We've been so close but haven't got over the hump. Normally we play Shelby tough. Hopefully we can take care of business this year. But we have a long way to go in order for that to happen. With it being the last week of the year, barring injuries, that will give our O-Line time to gel. That looks to be one of our weaker areas early on.
yeah, your team seems to have this choke habit, where you play good for 8 plays then something silly happens
I wouldn't say we have a choke habbit. I think in the past our lack of depth has really hurt us as it got later in the game and season. It's hard for us to overcome injuries too. When you say choke, I think of that as we had the lead late and then couldn't hold them off. But that hasn't been the case. Really, we've just been beat by a better team.
The dreaded red stripe ha ! Not only can they not run the ball , they have to play tackle to tackle hand on ground! Can’t be in kickoff teams , and if they recover a fumble it’s dead right there !!!
there were a few monsters one being 266
Lbs …
Yep! Take Dax for example, even in youth ball, he was special, and all that you mentioned applied to him. It wasn’t until middle school when that no longer applied to him, and he was a hellacious fullback.
That kid mentioned in the Lincolnton poster’s post is coach Damon Scott’s son, and that kid is going to be special. He plays quarterback.
Let's just make sure some of those kids come to Burns please. Thanks.
The county as a whole is in great hands. These kids today have things accessible to them that we “old heads” couldn’t ever imagine having in our youth, personal trainers galore, gyms and what not. I guess that’s everywhere now, but Cleveland County is definitely good. Dobson Collins, Shamar Finney, Michael Allison, to name a few. Those guys are making a difference with college athletes on down.
When you got inside the 5 against Shelby, instead of giving the ball to a hot Norris, you attempted to pass, and have to settle for three. Or, was it a turnover on downs? I forgot, but Chopper is talking about situations like that.

Well if he's referring to offensive play calling, then I agree. Lol. Hopefully our new OC will do a little better with that.
I don't see us ( West Craven) being in the discussion. Our numbers are down and when you have no depth it makes for a long season. We did look ok against Kinston but then we looked bad against White Oak. Hopefully we can get things turned around but this ranking is not realistic for us. Speaking of Kinston I think they will face struggles also. They are having to work in a new QB from what I heard.
I don't think anybody saw West Craven in the discussion until your post.
Morning Otis
Offer the families a life time supply of goat meat, or at least while their son is playing for your school

Good Morning Chopper!!I don't think anybody saw West Craven in the discussion until your post.

I’d be surprised if West Craven doesn’t win their conference and gets one of those top 10 seeds for the playoffs.
Y’all will be there! Otis.
I think ED is the biggest for yall. I don't see james Kenan putting up a good run with yall
