New Bern has completed fifteen ( 15 ) passes all season . Grimsley by thirteen. Go get 'em , Whirlies.
4A State Championship Grimsley Vs. New Bern
- Thread starter NCFB92
- Start date
No need to when you're scoring 45 a game on the ground. Looking forward to it.
This is exactly what I’ve thought the last two weeks but NB hasn’t needed to pass.
Geeze, here we go again. NB was pretty much the standard in the East back then. They just reloaded every year. They were always loaded with talented underclass men. I have always compared NB to the bar they set. That 2014 was not a great NB from top to bottom but they were good and had an NFL athlete. That is what took them to the next level. They won it all and I congratulated them. Then the bottom dropped out.
5-6

With all due respect, those teams were all rated significantly lower than Grimsley.
I agree, but I still thought the same thing. For the past month I have been saying that I just don’t think a team can simply run the ball down everyone in 4As throats. Usually you run into a team that can slow it down and score themselves but NB has rolled everyone except Jordan would had a very poor defense.
His son went out on top, before we all knew what was going down after 2014.
If there is a front 7 this year that is good enough to stop a rushing attack, its Grimsley's. Ask Catholic.
Based on every ratings website in existence. Calpreps, Massey, Simmons, heck.. even the Rankings posted everywhere.
So, by a ratings system and not by folks actually watching the games, right? The teams we've played have been pretty damn good, but I get the western teams are more well-known.
Then Grimsley should win easily. New Bern is going to do the ole "dance with the girl that brung ya" routine tomorrow. I know it's unusual to see this in 4A but you're not going to teach an old dog new tricks in game 16. NB will mix in some shot throws if the line of scrimmage gets crowded. I thought CC had some success rushing with 200 yards on the ground.

Most folks dont travel enough to be able to watch games from both sides of the state. So, it's only natural to look at, not just one, but all the ratings outlets and what not to see what's going on.
"Some success" and "200 yards" usually isn't enough for a team that keeps it on the ground 90-98% of snaps. All I'm saying is I hope New Bern can do enough to be competitive in this one. The last thing I want to see is Grimsley winning by 21 in a state title game.
That's why I love watching other schools online to see what all is out there each year.
"200 yards" is half of what we average on the ground but CC also threw it 20 times which decreased the total rushing yards. They had some success running up the gut but we'll have 3 guys that will touch the ball in various formations both inside and sweeps outside as we have some speed. We've played some good teams this year, looking forward to adding another one to the list tomorrow.
Don’t underestimate New Berns defense. New Hanover has a fairly balanced attack and in their win over Butler had 350+ total yards. New Bern held NHHS to less that 100 total yards.
I hate to say it but I think Grimsley beats New Bern down. I hate it cause The GSO All Stars could use a big piece of humble pie after how they act after they get other teams players. But it is what it is. With all the things I've seen ot Grimsley doesn't turn the ball over I'm thinking
GSO All Stars 38
New Bern 17
GSO All Stars 38
New Bern 17
Rain should be clearing up a few hours before the game with a small chance of showers during the game.
I know some may be tired of me addressing this, but in my opinion Grimsley’s defense is the key and the wild card in this game. Up until now their offense has had to bail them out in these playoffs. Could they or will they have to do it one more time? We’ll see.
This game like most is going to be decided in the trenches. I don't know the answer so i'm asking and I haven't seen Grimsley's O-line. Are they good, great? It seems both teams have a great D-line and New Bears O-line is nasty. It should be a great game. I'm not sure if it will be a shootout but expect it to be one.
In the 1920s they were called the Purple Whirlwinds. Space cramped newspaper writers began to contract the name and by the late ‘40s Whirlies was pretty universal and pretty unique. I believe there is a middle school Iowa that has the name as a piggyback to Iowa State bling.
