Football Cleveland County
- Thread starter crestrulz
- Start date
KM was Absolutely devastated by injuries. We were missing 8 starters against SP and then we lost our best lineman on the second series of the game. Tex Vaughn didn’t play at SP and KM was on our 5th string running back at SP. Luckily we were able to get a few of those kids back in the playoffs and brought a good group of jv’s up. This was in addition to losing five returning starters to transfer prior to the season last year. This current KM is still a young group who will return 15-16 starters after this season.
If he can keep the best athletes at the school they should do okay. Some of Gaffney’s best players were Blacksburg kids who attended Gaffney.
As far as Crest and KM blame your fellow GC AD/coaching brethren. SP, KM, and Crest were all in agreement that SP should play Crest the last game of the season and KM play Ashbrook the last game of the season because of the 5A/6A conference ramifications. The Gastonia faction didn’t want to move the Ashbrook/ Huss game to earlier in the season. You also had schools jockeying on when they wanted to play certain teams on the schedule. It was a cluster. Most of the GC ADs stick together and vote together. Herron go so frustrated he just told the KM AD that it doesn’t matter what order they play the games. Ashbrook got everything it wanted including a bye before their 6A game which is huge and spacing out KM, SP, and Crest. NG got the worst end of the stick. SP got ten games without a bye. Crest got Ashbrook and KM back to back last year when both teams were expected to be good.
If athletic directors were making decisions based on conference standings and playoff positioning, then the real question is why the scheduling process allowed such different circumstances in the first place. If there was an agreement to benefit certain schools, show the evidence. Otherwise, we’re still dealing with one side of the story. You can question the decisions without automatically blaming every AD involved. The published schedules support the bye week comparisons, but they do not independently verify the alleged agreement among the athletic directors.
I always heard a hit dog will holler. You seem like an educated person so go back and read again slowly what I posted. There was jockeying by ADs and their coaches looking for a competitive advantage in the league. I never blamed EVERY AD because I noted that the SP AD/coaches were in alignment with the CC ADs/coaches on scheduling. Your response tells me that you are aware that the Big scheduling was a mess and/or doesn’t look right. It wasn’t lost on anyone how much Ashbrook had everything slanted in their favor last season.
I can se every Crest fan and the one or 2 KM fans on here are flat out closed lipped on this one.;

There is a lot wrong with this pic.
Crest became the cougars and that press box is bigger than Shelby's which was not allowed in the CC budget for when Burns and Crest had theirs built.

Not true. We televise road games also with permission of the school. Most schools are fine with it with the exception of Gaston County who has a policy they created before last season. KM has televised the last three road games at Crest, maybe more. It’s great for fans of all schools who can’t make the game, not sure why anyone would be against that.

There hasn’t been an issue in the past at Crest with the exception of the fans right on top of the game announcers. I seen Crest put a few butt kickings on us in crystal clear YouTube 4k lol. KM has broadcast more Crest home games than KTC who are local to you guys.
The last three years no transfers involving athletes have been denied going to Ashbrook BUT plenty have been denied going elsewhere in Gaston County and contested even when leaving the county.
