Thoughts? I hope it pours down rain to slow down North Surry QB.

Might help them to be battle tested. I think after tonight things are wide open behind Starmount and probably Central.

Battle tested sometimes backfires and prevents you from making the playoffs....playing better competition doesn't always make you a better team

It can. I think Alleghany has a good shot to beat Grayson and Walkertown. In conference I'd say they will beat West for sure and will have solid shots against East Wilkes, Elkin, and North.

Yeah I knew Braves would be bad...therefore I didn't go....wasn't sure about my Trojans. Still not sure about my Trojans...Trojans always struggle for years and years with teams that have great quarterbacks.

It was more about NS playing well than Alleghany playing poorly. They just didn't match up well with North's quarterback and receivers. They're not going be playing against guys like that every week. NS coaches actually were favorably impressed with the Trojans.

Thanks for the info....I didn't go to the game bc I figured it would get ugly and 2hrs is a long ride to watch a possible blowout.

Might have a shot at beating central too. It took a trick play to beat north Iredell.
Right now WC has a lot of things to fix. Still extremely talented in the skill positions and solid up front, but absolutely no depth. We were gassed at the end of the 1st half, had 2 touchdowns taken off the board in the 1st quarter. Could have been 21-0 at that point but that’s ball. After the 2nd touchdown off the board we couldn’t get back in a rhythm offensively. But, it was a really odd game from the get go. Lots of mouthing, NI has a kid ejected 1 minute into the game, it was a 10:30 kickoff. Was a typical 1st game from a execution standpoint, very sloppy. They will get better for sure and seeing AC and Watauga will help come conference time. MVAC race seems like it will be wide open this year.

No doubt. Always liked WC. They are way too talented year in and year out to not compete for conference.

Been wanting to know this since I first saw the name in the 90s...is it ALLEY-GAY-NE, ALLEY-GAN-NE, or AH-LEG-AH-NE? I've always heard it pronounced the first way, but following proper English pronunciation of the way it's spelled, it should be the third way. That's how I've always said it.
