Best defense in 3A
- Thread starter Vik-Val 86
- Start date
Too early to tell with so many things to factor in. If I just had to make an early guess I would say A.C Reynolds. They will be without their top 2-3 defenders from last season but still well coached and disciplined group at every level of the defense. Had one of the best defenses last season and I don’t expect that to change much.
How many starters did south point lose from last years team ? They had a great year … will they fall off much ?
Crest took a big blow during Spring Ball losing Dez Porter for the season..D Line gonna be on the small side but has experience..

Lost 7 starters on defense, next man up!!
Return 6 on offense. Our fb is our best linebacker so he'll play sparingly on defense. Our qb is really good, he's a sophomore but may end up being the best we've had. Y'all feeding us when we come up there??
QB was impressive against Dudley last year. Not sure on the other but if I find out I'll let you know.
You know I'm just kidding about feeding us, we'll hit that BBQ spot again. Can't remember the name of it but it was good!
Kings Mountain will be hands down the best defense in 3A this year. Don't underestimate the coaching a schemes of the new staff at KM.
Lol I ain't worried about them, I wanna eat!!
You one of the guys from the trash talk page on Facebook coming to actually talk football?
KM had the best defense around last year if it gets better everyone is in a heap of trouble..
Too early to tell... But Southern Durham should be in the conversation. From what I hear they will roll out a defense where nearly everyone on the field has a D-1 offer.
They will be huge on the lines of scrimmage. One of the biggest defensive lines in the state.
That same best KM defense that gave up 20 to Crest and 46 to E. Lincoln?
Meanwhile the SP defense gave up 13 and 20 to Crest....and 14 to E. Lincoln.
So much misinformation and lack of respect for SPs defense last year.
KM will be noticeably better on defense this year. Their staff upgraded substantially and while 15 was a great player....their depth will fill that void nicely.
sidenote (edit)- lol - There are NO NCHSAA coaches that will underestimate KMs HC/staff/coordinators.
You bragging on KM more than I did
EL had their # but nobody else did..They got two additions on the edges. 6’4 285 KJ Liles from Hillside and 4 star 6’5 265 Isaiah Campbell, both only rising juniors. They already had a huge DT as well.
Im curious at what W. Charlotte and Dudley will look like. Hard to say, with 3A being so stacked. The best coaching plan and adjustments will win this season.
West Charlotte has a championship defense. Key will be how well they can throw the ball offensively.
I agree, I think every team that’s a contender this year has a flaw or a major question mark. It’s going to come down to coaching, match ups, injuries and stuff like that.
I love where the KM defense is right now going into the season. The talent and new coaching schemes are a perfect fit. Hopefully the kids can stay injury free. KM has college talent at each level of their defense. Last year the D-line hid some flaws but not this year. The Mountaineers return a DT who missed all of last season due to injury. The DT in the middle will make an impact and help the rest of the DL continue to terrorize opposing teams. Simpson and Armstrong are fierce up front. Melton at linebacker will be a breakout star. KM has elite speed in their secondary. 3 of the 4db’s have offers and the fourth (Brown) will definitely be offered at some point. KM’s defense will be improved from a very good defense last season.
I didn’t. I love the fact that we have two 6’3 linebackers that can run playing beside each other. Melton athleticism makes him elite. I can’t wait to see him in a full time role this season. Unnasch looks slim from a distance but when you see him up close you can see that he has put in that weight room work. Ward is also a very good player at linebacker. I will keep my eye on Tristan Presley also as the season progresses. He took a couple of years off from the game but is back. Dad was a very good player back in the day.
