Hough is up 27-0 over West Charlotte in the 3rd. Anyone want to add scores. Go ahead
Meanwhile in other games
- Thread starter Vik-Val 86
- Start date
In S.C., Gaffney won 26 to 20 over Spartanburg. That game was expected to be good.
Dutch Fork got back on track with a win over White Knoll 52-0.

Myers Park 24 Palisades 17. Was somewhat surprised to see this score. I know MP is down but I would of thought bigger margin of game.
The Metro just keeps getting wilder and wilder. My jaw fell through the ninth level of hell when I heard the Page-Western Guilford score.
our offense is going through some trials and tribulations, starting QB tore his ACL two weeks ago and started tonight. Back up injured himself last week too. It's been tough sledding, somehow they still have a winning record.

The QB tore his ACL two weeks ago and started last night?? Man, what a tough kid.
If it’s a partial tear I could see it. Think Phillip Rivers played on a torn ACL in 2007 playoff game vs Pats
im not a doctor, nor do i have exact information on the type/extent of the injury. All I know is he was carted off 2 weeks ago with a serious knee injury, saw tweets the next day of him walking down the hospital hallway with a gown, crutches, and a IV, and two weeks later was sharing snaps with the 3rd string QB last night.

Maybe an MCL???? I know you can play with a torn one, just can't cut. But an ACL????
He hasn't stepped down yet. He will be the AD until they find a suitable interim.
Erik Naglee, Page’s principal, wrote in an email that he and his staff “will be working on a transition plan in regards to an interim AD in the next few weeks.”

After the football season is over, I could see Robertson helping out with Interim duties, until they hire a new AD in the summer.
Just lost another AD in the middle of Football season. Maybe the problem with Page is the administration not the coaches
It's definitely not the administration. Page's current admin is the best we've had since Mr. C was our principal. It sounds like he is stepping down for personal reasons. Did you even read the article? This was a very tough decision for Harder. His 2 best friends are teachers/coaches at Page.
Per the GSO N&R article......
Now Harder will leave behind a place where he has invested so much and built such strong relationships.
“Two of my very best friends in life are because of Page High School,” Harder said, referencing Justin Scarbro and Robert Hogewood. “It wouldn’t have been possible without teaching and coaching at Page.”
What’s next for Harder, who is still just 35 years old?
“I want to spend more time with my family,” he said. “I want to travel. I want to re-evaluate and take some time to figure out the next steps in my journey, professionally and personally.
“That’s what it came down to. Page deserves the absolute best, and I just think it’s time for another person to come in and take control of the Pirate ship and keep it moving.”
Harder doesn’t know who his successor will be, but they will inherit “a great position right now.”
“You’ve got a supportive administration that cares about academics first and also understands the value of athletics,” he said. “(Naglee) has been an incredible leader for our school and mentor for me, and I think the world of him for giving me this opportunity. … Whoever steps in as the next AD is going to have a great opportunity to be successful. There are so many positive things going on here.”
It's not like we've been losing ADs left and right, Rusty Lee was our AD for almost 30 years, before Harder took over.
I think, most likely, Harder wants to coach basketball somewhere, after he takes time off to be with his family and traveling.

Dont meant to totally get off the subject but thought I would share. I always say this to men, friends and leaders. Don't let work steal the quality of life you deserve with your family. We men have a tendency to reverse those priorities a lot, and for the wrong reasons. I'm pleading with those not to fall into the trap. Your first duty as a man is to love Christ. Love for your wife comes next, then love for your kids. Life is brief, so don't spend it on useless pursuits. This also applies to women.
Leaving in October isn’t a good look. Second time now: Rusty left in October as well.
Things don't always happen the way you want them, or in the best possible way. We make due, and keep moving forward.
Exactly seeing the AD is leaving in football for the 2nd time in less than 5 yrs is bad. Also 2 Head Coaches during that time. Also Rolfes had more wins, playoff wins, and conference championships and wins over Grimsley than Doug in 3 season. Plus rumors are going around that Doug isn't happy with Page. Would not be surprised if he took off. He seems to change schools every 3-5 years
Also, Rolfes didn't come in a run his star QB off telling him he had to play DB. When he left he took the entire offense with him across the street turning Grimsley instantly into a State Champion. Now they are the program to beat and Page is struggling to beat Southwest Guilford.
Facts are Facts just because you don't link the truth doesn't mean its a lie

The year before the QB transfer from Page, Grimsley went 12-2, twice losing to eventual state champ EF by identical scores of 21-20. The year before, they went 7-6 with a playoff appearance. It wasn’t like it was some overnight transformation like a Northern Guilford, aka “The Kovaleski”.
Correct, but it wasn't just the QB, it was 4 Page transfers that put Grimsley over the top and gave them the skill they needed on offense to win it all.
I understand you are trying to make the situation seem worse than what it really is, because you hate Page. Page has had 2 ADs in the past 33 years. You cannot compare the state of the Page football program that Rolfes inherited from Gillespie to the one that Robertson inherited from Rolfes. You keep bringing that up, and its a moot point. Two totally different situations. Rolfes ran the thing into the ground, the players didn't want to play for him. Grimsley was still a doormat when Rolfes tookover. They only started being good 4 years ago, a year before Robertson took over.
Where are you hearing this crap? Unless it's a reported fact and came from his mouth for everyone to hear, its BS.
If Robertson saw holes at DB on the roster, then asking your best player to play some time at DB isn't farfetched in High School ball, if that is what ran off Barnett, then that's pretty sad and just shows that he was selfish and didn't really care about doing what's best for the team. Great players usually want to play both sides of the ball. James Summers played QB and made a ton of plays at Safety too....
Rolfes came in and had a Dual threat QB that had just had a very nice freshman year on varsity, his sophomore year under Rolfes wasn't great and things got worse on offense because he failed to develop him his Jr and Sr year. Rolfes did a bang up job at developing talent and putting them in the right environment and positions on the field to succeed. His first year at Page was a "success" if you want to call a 2nd round exit a success because that team had crazy talent, and he still failed to capitalize on it.

I'm not so sure he dislikes Page, matter of fact, I think he quite fancies Page.
Agreed Mr GSO-Triple you're #1 in my book.. I actually really admire Page. I just don't like this idea that Robertson is above criticism. If Rolfes was at Page and they had to hold on for dear life against SW-Guilford, then were absolutely smoked by NW Guilford 3 years in you would be calling for his head. I'm just showing how biased you guys are at Page. The people that say they didn't want to play for Rolfes is because he saw the talent in that Sophomore class and he was putting Barnett in at QB as a Soph. and taking a 3 year starter and moving him to RB/WR. Rolfes knew he had a State Championship level offense coming up.
You say Grimsley didn't become a State Champ over night. Have you been sipping on Mr GSO's cough meds? You have your years mixed up sir. In 2019 Grimsley did lose to East Forsyth. They then Graduated almost 100% of their offensive skill players who produced points in 2019. With that said Grimsley had a decent JV team that was moving up (who btw never produced points on Friday nights for Grimsley). With all of those FACTS its safe to say Grimsley (who was just beat in the 4A West Semi-finals should have been in a rebuild mode on offense in 2020.
In walks Alonza Barnett-III and 2 RBs and a D1-TE, 2 WRs, then a defensive player or 2. Plus they had a 5* on Dline. Grimsley goes from scoring 38 PPG (their most successful team in the last 50 years in 2019) graduating everyone from offense to a team that was scoring 35 PPG and returned every player on defense from the 2019 team. After Rolfes was fired from Page the very next year *Spring 2020* Grimsley Wins the 4A Championship. Since Barnett left Grimsley I don't think Grimsley has lost a regular season game and Page is getting beat by NW Guilford and SW Guilford is pushing Greensboro's team to their limit.
Again you would be calling for Rolfes Head right now. Robertson its ok. Also the rumors of him not being happy at Page is because Page did something to one of his coaches who was in the building. Everyone is saying he is not happy with the Principal and AD after another bone head move by the Page Admin team. I've been watching HS Football for over 30 years in this area. I do joke around on here but I don't spread fake news.
Have a Great Hump Day and lay off of GSO's Moonshine. Thats for his Goats and my girl friend right GSO?
What do you not understand... We all gave Rolfes time and a chance to keep things going and to continue winning like Gillespie had going. He was unable to do that, and the product on the field started to deteriorate, we saw it in year 1 and it got worse in 2 and especially 3. He had an inability to control and discipline some of the players, guys running onto the field late, sloppy play, poor clock management, etc, etc... it was what it was..
Like I've said 100 times to you, its two totally different situations.. If the roles were reversed and it was coach Rob that was hired instead of Rolfes and things started looking worse with Coach Rob, we would have started questioning what was going on then too, just the same..
With the current situation, it may seem that Coach Robertson is getting more time or that we are more patient with him, because we see that the players trust him, there are genuine relationships there, and they look more disciplined and organized compared to what Rolfes had going. Its just taking more time to win because he's had to rebuild from rock bottom. It look Gillespie 5 or so years to really get things going, so we know it takes some time..

Also, are you referring to the OC who left in June/July?

You two cats are some sho' nuff night owls. Yes, Mister War Head, I am totally aware of your girlfriend's lust for Summerfield moonshine likker.
wanna know whats funny? I now live right in the heart of northern guilford district near mclaurin farms. also my niece and nephew go to northern.
I have to be at work at 5am and it's a 45 minute drive. I get up really early but I get off around 3:30-4:00pm. Ahhh yes, I prefer the Browns Summit shine not that piss water from Summerfield
Here's a non-biased opinion from a Hough fan. I know kids and their families that played at Northwest and Page for Rolfes. He was without question one of the worst coaches in that area for sure, and probably in the state. He would lock on to favorites and create a toxic culture. It only worked when he had such ridiculous talent like he did with Tre' Turner and Thomas Hennigan at NW and of course the talent he had when he arrived at Page. Page, in my opinion, gave him too much time which is why they are still trying to recover. Triad football makes a lot more sense when Page is strong. Too much history to ignore.
Word in the Triad is only reason Greensboro high school won that state title was East had 7 D-1 players leave early in December for college . They won 2 in row if records serves correct ..
