Still makes no sense why Richard is not with The Star/Gazette.
this schedule is laughable for Shelby, Burns too. i hope these programs don't suffer. who is coming to watch 60+ blow outs by halftime every week for almost two months?
After playing the toughest non-conference schedule in the state for a 2a team it will be good to have a little break.
I agree that Shelby and Burns don't belong in the new conference, but the conference is a done deal. As for East Gaston, the new conference is probably where we need to be competition wise. I get that it will be nearly impossible for us to make the playoffs, but what our program needs at this point is wins and with our schedule I see a legit chance that we can get 5 or 6 wins this fall.
Shelby and burns still have tough scheduled, not sure why the complaining.
Coach Wilbanks was dead set on a tough non- conf sch. Due to weak conference.
Still it will hurt money wise
Still it will hurt money wise
And with 32 teams out of 54 making the playoffs in west 5 or 6 wins might get you in!!!
He's too talented for either in my opinion.
I'm finally gonna get a vacation in and spend a few days at the beach.
Gotta feeling..... Shelby vs Hibriten or Burns vs Watauga.....gonna be packed with extra visitors.
There’s a ton of teams in our area that are not playing on 9/10.
An opportunity for scouting!
.... which game? Decision is gonna be tough!

I’m going to Shelby.... because they have good livermush sammys
and....I’d like to see the “Brushy Mtn. Boys” from Hibriten .... it’s been awhile for me.As you prolly know... Maiden plays Watauga...a couple weeks before Burns does ...so I’ll use the resulting scores as a gauge for Burns..... kinda like Salisbury this spring
...we all know how that turned out! There wasn’t one!Heck... it’s an hour drive either way...Maiden is smack dab in the middle between Shelby and Boone..... but I know somebody from Maiden will be at both games because there isn’t a game anywhere in our area on 9/10.....what else could we do?....it’s “Football! Friday Night!”
Tables have turned for you now. You can give them the business about a weak conference/schedule after taking abuse for so many seasons

Lol and no one can say anything bad about the non conference schedule this season. I’m glad we don’t have to hear that this season

Their schedule wasnt that tough to begin with!
Whatever! Km, South Point, AC Reynolds, Burns, and Crest have all made deep playoff runs over the years. You guys win states this year in this weird season, and you’ve become arrogant. Stay humble or get humbled. I don’t expect a fluke season out of Shelby this upcoming season.
Y’all bragging about your new schedule as if it’s the AFC North. Page sounds good in name only. They haven’t had a winning season in a few years now. They’re irrelevant Who has really made any noise on your new schedule? Yeah, it’s solid and much improved, but nothing special like you all are making it out to be.

I like Shelby schedule. The Gaul of most of these other 2a teams though
I feel like eastern and western almance are just as good as the other 3a teams on your schedule. Page was really bad this year die to losing most of their players to grimsley state championship team. I expect page to be improved
Nah, Western, the tougher of the two, was blown off the field by Havelock, 49-17, that’s not particularly impressive.

Eastern will be better than western this season, IMO. Western and eastern are always good though, they’ve both been successful programs sobs the early 2000’s at least. Havelock probably could have beaten reidsville, they only lost to catholic by 7. Havelock is one impressive eastern team
Western had a kid a few years ago named Christian Daniels. He played quarterback. He was a stud. I discovered him on the recruiting circuit during that time. You are correct, they are very good programs.
I just get a little annoyed. Shelby wasted a season of talent. Talent doesn’t grow on trees. Cleveland County was a little snake bitten this year, too. KM lost Paysour who will play as a true freshman at UNC. Shelby lost Hollifield, and missed his leadership, Burns’ three year starting quarterback got injured at the worst possible time, and they still only lost by 3 to Salisbury. Crest lost their starting quarterback to an ACL.
Regardless of all that, it’s one big L for the county. Shelby has some studs returning, though, and a young freshman receiver who coaches feel will be the next big thing at receiver for Shelby.. He came on strong at the end of the season. Hopefully, they will get this DC thing right. If Shelby doesn’t make noise this year, then we all will know what the problem is.
Your Rams benefitted from having its best players returning, and your legendary coach had the team very well prepared, despite the adversities all schools faced with this Covid mess. Great coach, great battle tested seniors, especially at the all important quarterback position, that was the ultimate recipe for success.

Btw, Crest only lost to Catholic by 7, and led them at halftime, 21-7. They had no business losing that game. Havelock is the “realest” program in the East, though, them and Tarboro.
Shelby was still very solid m, that’s why I still feel it would have been the toughest of the state championship match ups. Yes, I thought Breon would have definitely opted out. Kyle pinnix gave some thought on opting out. I knew heritage didn’t have anything for us, no offense they are tough. But I felt we took their best punch in 2017 and 2018.
Western maybe reidsville biggest rival, used to be some battles in the early 2000’s and they’ve beaten us the last two times.
I wouldn’t worry about Shelby, they are still going to be a top 5 team this season along with burns. I do think burns and hibriten fans got confident thinking that was the state championship game.
You make a good point about Page, but you all used to brag loudly on here about beating lower tier 4A schools like Watuaga(when they were 4A)
page has been good though. I remember going to a page game where they beat east Forsyth and they wasn’t that long ago.
Was 21-14 at half. Also, Catholic/Shelby at Cleveland County Jamboree this year.
He was great on the Packman show 100 years when people actually listened to the radio. I think he actually went to Crust.
