Heading to overtime

KM still in this after losing leading scorer in 2nd quarter to a knee injury

These kids are fighting and clawing every play...

I just learned that before his 8th grade year, Kings Mountain Middle school receiver Tony Boyd Jr also had his first football offer. He was one of six 7th graders in NC to hold an offer, along with the QB Jordan Jenkins now at KM. Jenkins is winning multiple MVPs at prestigious camp such as Under Armor. So had to give props to the youngins too.

How is that QB battle going to shake out? I know Jenkins is the future, but is he the present?

I honestly have no clue...only have seen what he has done online through social media. Scouting reports are very high on him and comparisons from writers to Chris Leak with his game. He seems constantly to be working at getting better at the qb position and has been working with some pros. Ill say this, if he comes in and has the mentality that he belongs up top, he can win the qb battle. Hard for an 8th grader moving into high school at a new location to have that mindset, but that and early off season reps with the skills position receivers is key. The bigger issue is, who will be brought in to lead the offense. Could you imagine what someone like Beam(come on down) could do as a coordinator with this qbs high IQ and multiple receivers with offers. (Hear another high profile 8th grade receiver will be transferring in also). The county is going to stay flooded with college coaches for the foreseeable future.

Sounds like the future is bright no matter who the QB is.

Crazy thing is I just found out about the kid last week and had no clue he was coming this way. On a scouting report I saw, he was 6'3 and 185lbs and some of the best blockers in the country for his age group, couldn't handle him at the camps.
This one was in the works for awhile. There are a couple of more young kids that will join this incoming freshmen group in June.

Yeah, I figured at least a couple would be coming. You think the goal is 1 year JV for most or throw them in the fire? Hopefully someone starts them and all the 8th graders in the weight room ASAP.

From what you guys are saying and from what I’m hearing elsewhere, you guys have a lot of young talent. Probably no need to rush any of them yet (but if they are good enough then so be it). QB is still going to be interesting. I just don’t see any scenario where the new kid sits his first two years of HS considering everything I hear about him. So I would say he definitely has the best chance to come in and take a job. Again that is only based off what you guys and others I know around the program say.

The qb, this DE, and the receiver who is suppose to be coming are going straight to varsity after the coaches put their eyes on them.?All three of those guys are super talented. The rest will play JV for a year or most of the year.

The qb and this DE are really good. It’s going to be hard to hold these guys back.

What middle school are they at this year? Are they Gaston County kids?

Definitely a lot of young talent for years to come..The middle school went undefeated and all I have heard is that the current 5th and 6th graders are going to be better than that team(not taking anything from them). Then you add in Jenkins brother, who is also making a name for himself as a qb, to go along with the next crop of talent at the middle school comimg.

Interesting…. Young Talented Varsity… Undefeated JV … undefeated Middle School championship team… but can they pull it all together? Are the right coaches in place?

They haven’t in 101 years not expecting it anytime soon.
whole page on how 8th graders are going straight to Varsity , fine , in case you morons on the East side have forgotten we have 2 Reigning , Defending, Undisputed State Champs in the County. KM take your rightful spot at best 3rd in the County this coming season
I’ll take Burns over KM this coming season
Keep talking about how great you will be , have yet to prove it on the field

The great Vienna Sausage has spoken so it’s must be true. 1774532322518.gif

I am still stuck at trying to understand that Crest math you just exposed us too. If Kings Mountain is the 3rd best in the county this upcoming season by your logic but you have the other three county schools beating KM, how is KM 3rd best out of 4 schools if they go 0-3 in the county? 🤦
For the record I believe Crest will have a dogfight on its hands with all three county schools this upcoming season.

We love dog fights , no one says we will beat every county team 70-0 just yours
I do expect the KM game to be a tad closer
This year all four county teams will be very good , expect nothing less
My math is perfect you are the one last season confused on what defensive front your team would run don’t go there
We hear the talk for 101 years about KM being the team to do it , it never materializes
Where is Mountie at ? Need his input on all topics

and for the record I said at best you will be third in County , I then proceed to say Burns beats you
That would make you fourth sooooo at best you will be third more than likely fourth

Simple reading comprehensive is not your strong suit
We understand
