Oh that super tough 4a football. Eff'ig Fred T Foard upsetting anyone is chaos.

Talked to some Hickory guys today, said HH was the worst team they played all year. Now maybe they came in unprepared or uninterested. I fully believe that could be the case.
Oh I just remembered, Fred T Foard is on Hickory’s schedule. Oh well, I guess they put up a better fight than HH did.
Since HH is so shyttty- SC should get them on the schedule and see if they can keep up. Nobody said HH would win that game. My score prediction I think was within 5-6 points of the actual score. Fred T Foard. That's the football hill you wanna die on? Sounds about right.
Haha, no it is not, but fact Cramer beat the team that finished 5th in your conference. HH finished 6th. That would be taking a step back in our non conference schedule, and we can’t have that.
CC guys I am sorry for invading your board with this but Deboer is trying to get Cramer to not post on the Gaston County thread that Rulz was so nice to create because it is on the 5A/6A platform. I know you guys are open to all viable discussion no matter what the classification is. Hopefully Deboer can meet the high standards you have set for board rules and etiquette.
Huss mailed their season in after the Ashbrook game. Their focus was immediately basketball after that game.
I agree with you, I even said they probably came in uninterested in my earlier post.
Assuming that is true, I wouldn't find that as an excuse for a good football team. That sounds like more of a reality for a bad team with no pride. I have never understood this excuse from fans. My team didn't care enough about football, so they gave up? Terrible if that is ever the case.
It’s Huss. What do you expect? They did play Ashbrook really tough a week prior and had a great shot to win the game late. That was the Huss Super Bowl. My point has always been that Huss has potential and athletes. Year in and year out those athletes can give teams problems when motivated. I am not jumping in the SP vs Cramer cat fight but I do think that Cramer should have a winning record or have beaten teams before dissing them. For the record Huss is 8-3 against Cramer and Huss have won the last two of your matchups. I like Cramer and think you are built this year to do well in the playoffs. I believe Cramer would come out on top in a head to head matchup this year with Huss but it would be nowhere as easy for you guys as you think because of your style of play.
I’m no way "dissing" Huss. This has only come up since some on these boards felt like Huss would run roughshod in our conference, which I disagree with. You can fill in the blank with any team not named Huss. My point still stands. I am not a fan of explaining away a loss because the kids don't care or have moved on to basketball.
Any team saying Team X would be more competitive if they were mentally tougher or cared more is no different than saying Team X would win if they had better athletes physically. Both can cause a team to lose, but for some reason we like to make excuses for teams that have mailed it in mentally.
I’m not dissing Huss, SP or anyone. I was a fan of only SP (and still hope they have success) until 4 years ago until I had a child at Cramer and they became the school I pull for. I am not sure what you mean about having a winning record or having beaten a team is reason to have discussions and disagreements on a message board. That is almost like saying you have had to win a state championship in the last decade for you to have discussions about winning a state championship in the current year. I know you are smart and keep up with kids and where they started and where they go. Last 3 years of the previous regime, players that started 9th grade at Cramer and left to start at other schools (without naming names), KM (former center), Ashbrook (former DE who was their defensive player of the year and former starting QB), Robinson (starting RB from last year), SP (starting FB now), Crest (starting DE now), and I’m sure there are more but this is a few. Since coaching change we have had no defections and starting QB and leading tackler on defense this year came from other schools (they were living in the district but were going to other schools). So you can talk about all the records before the coaching change but I look at kids not wanting to be there and leaving and now I see kids not leaving and new kids coming in. Since my kid is a senior I am going to continue to talk because I saw two years of the before and have seen two years of the new. It is night and day.
Hold on….isn’t the entire premise of having a big reputation is that you can back it up???
