The Chargers of Ayden-Grifton (8-2) are a commin on down to SouthWest Onslow (9-2) to kick things off for us in the 2A East Playoffs. Going back 20 years we have played 3 times, all playoff games. SWO leads 2-1 with the last meeting in 2012 in the second round as we went on to the 1AA Title that year.

AG averages 32 pts a game and giving up 12
SWO averages 37 pts a game and giving up 15

Pretty close in Off and Def stats this year. Should be a good game

Lookin at some film on AG. Look a lot like SWO. They seem to like to run and over left side also, just like us. They to can throw it up if they have to.

They have good size up front. We wore their defense down and ran the ball well on them in the 4th qtr. They are a physical team.

I thought the same thing about their size. I think we respond better to a physical team other than a finesse style of play. We like to trade punches. Who hits the hardest and longest will win. Coach Dempsey keeps saying, run the power, believe in the system and sooner or later it will start to tell. We didnt go away from it Friday night.

Second verse of the 1st round Playoff

5 yards, 5 yards
5 yards at a time forward
All in the Valley of Death
Ran the Stallions
Forward the O line
Charge for the End Zone, Coach said
Into the Valley of Death
Rode the Stallions

A Pass play called !!
Was there a player dismayed?
Not though the QB knew
Someone had blundered ?
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the Stallions

Considering he is a Kinston fan and the poll was taken up in that area no wonder. However if you read Chris Millers article in the JDnews a little different on AG chances this Friday. His take is SWO is to big and fast for the Chargers. We will see how it plays out ..... :cool:

I see them being a good game for you but I do not think they will beat you. I think you will see the same thing that we saw. The fizzle begins late in 3rd and 4th qtr. Again I think they will gas out.

Third verse of AG playoff game #1

5 yards, 5 yards
5 yards at a time forward
All in the Valley of Death
Ran the Stallions
Forward the O line
Charge for the End Zone, Coach said
Into the Valley of Death
Rode the Stallions

A Pass play called !!
Was there a player dismayed?
Not though the QB knew
Someone had blundered ?
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the Stallions

DE to right of them,
DE to left of them,
Stacked box in front of them
Snortin Smoke and Fartin Fire;
Stormed at by LBs and Blitz,
Still they Ran and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of hell
Ran the Stallions.

It may not show good results in 1st or 2nd qtr. But we will relentlessly pound the line with a heard of Backs. Again, Again and over and over. What will start as 2-3 yards will turn into 4-6, and then 8+. If they take a nap a pass will wake them up. Question is who's Defense holds the strongest ??

I'll say win by 20. 4th qtr breakdown.

If either falters the breakdown will come 2nd to late 2nd qtr. Best conditioned teams gets this one. I like our conditioning program. We start hard and get harder. An eye for an eye, you hit, we hit back harder.

Standing by for SWO to reschedule our game to Thursday. Goldsboro has with NE, and Whiteville with WRH. I would think they will have to do it no latter than in the morning some time. If we dont thats OK, we're Mudders.

Good luck to you #1. I hope your team wins. I think it will be very close and I think ours will be as well

Snortin Smoke and Fartin Fire;

Still they Ran and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of hell
Ran the Stallions.

Flashed all their determination bare,
Flashed as they turned in air
Blocking the D line there,
Charging a team, while
All the world wondered.
Plunged in the entry Orange and black-smoke
Right through the line they broke;
D line reeled from the Power I stroke
Shattered and sundered
Then they regrouped in the defensive huddle.
Then they regrouped back, but not
Not with as much resolve

game moved so is Northsides heard WA didn't want to move to Thursday and unlike playoffs both coaches must agree. I think its not just field but the ride and safety ., but with that said go Stallions.
