I'm guessing you'll be coming through Troy unless you take some back roads to Wadeville. Troy has a few options outside of the Bojangles! Sir Pizza, Hometown BBQ and Better Burger are the ones I'd recommend. If I were you I'd wait until I get to the game and eat there. Food is amazing and you can make a hell of a meal from several of the selections and also get to meet lots of good Warrior fans.

As far as the comments that have been made about the Warriors' winning or blowing out Mt. Airy let me make sure that every one on here knows two things:

1 - Sway is an Albemarle fan and I won't get into how many names he deserves to be called. Ignore him. His own fan base does.

2 - Not sure who hammer70 is but....well....I'll leave that alone. He's not a West Montgomery fan. He's pulling for West to win in the hopes that they lose big in the final. His post wrecked of jealousy and of someone who is so envious of West Montgomery's success he wishes them ill will. I for one don't mind losing in the State Championship Game. I'd rather win, but only ONE team can in 1AA. You can't win if you're not in the game.

Every West Montgomery fan, booster and person associated with the team knows that Mt. Airy should be favored in the game. I for one believe it will be close and the outcome most likely decided in the last quarter. On the other hand, if West Montgomery plays like they did against "the other team" and doesn't hold the lines Mt. Airy could win handily. Hopefully the game will be called a hell of a lot more even than it was against "the other team." Y'all will have plenty of "the other team's" fans on that side. They normally come over just to pull against West Montgomery on a regular basis in the playoffs because their Friday nights are normally football free shortly after the regular season.

In the end, West Montgomery is playing for the West Regional Title for the 5th time in 10 years. After a few years of horrible coaching hires, disarray in the front office the ship was righted and West Montgomery is set of years to come with a great principal and a hell of a coaching staff. With a only a handful of seniors and more underclassmen, including freshmen, playing this year than I've ever seen West looks great moving forward. Win or lose this team has made up for last years debacle against Walkertown. Plus sending "the other team" back across the river twice in one season in games that could have been statement wins for their program will be etched in the history books forever. Aside from that, there are still goals to be accomplished. At least one game to play. Best of luck to the Granite Bears and to the Warriors. Here's to a injury and penalty free game. Look forward to seeing the fans from Mt. Airy and watching what should be one hell of a good game. Just a heads up Mt. Airy fans, it gets pretty damn cold at Warrior Stadium. We won't have the wind the mountains do but its cold, damp and the air settles right on top of the stadium. Dress warm.

His post wrecked of jealousy - I think the word your looking for there is reeked. Just my half of a brain working overtime.

Thanks! I appreciate that. Now this thread is about the Mt. Airy vs. West Montgomery game. You are welcome to contribute to the conversation if not find your way to the basketball board or your safe space. I'm sure you have some unfinished crafts or a play dough project you need to complete. Have a nice offseason. Bye now.

Sounds like to me he/she is pulling for them...

Honestly I would like to see West Montgomery win it all...honestly. I'd love to see Callicutt get his ring.

West Montgomery has always had good athletes, they just didn't quite have the right coach. But now those boys are playing great and have been for the past 8 years.

Best of wishes to WM (Even though I do give you guys a hard time). Mt. Airy should be a decent game...but I think you guys blow them out...WRH or Tarboro will be tough!
Classy!!!!!!!

Bareman West has an awesome concession stand if that interest you. If not Leflers Place is good, it's located on 73 near Mt. Gilead.

You can tune in to Tommy and Kelly either from the WPAQ740 web site or use the TuneIN Radio app on your smart phone. They both work great. If you are traveling and bouncing around cell towers and sporadic internet coverage, the TuneIn Radio app works the best to get WPAQ740. If you have bluetooth, you can listen through your car radio or wireless headsets.

Tommy and Kelly do a great job. Be sure to listen to pre-game and post-game where they also shine.

Is it just me or does anyone else think that BD is the only one who "gets" his insults? The play dough/safe space remarks? And to whoever asked about where to eat, the answer is before you leave home.

It's just you snowflake. This isn't the basketball board. This is the Mt. Airy-West Montgomery thread. West has some of the best food in NCHSAA football. Disregard EM91 Bear fans. He's still bitter his team lost twice to West in the two biggest games in their programs history and he's having trouble accepting it. Maybe you should join Transplant in his safe space and work on arts and crafts until next season. And if you aren't sure what the jokes are there's a feature called Google. Now contribute to the thread or please stay off. Thank you and good luck in 2A.

I think I might just stick around just for you. Will be interesting to see how much smoke you can blow up the rear ends of Mt. Airy fans.

Just a reminder to everyone. If your not a WM or Mt. Airy fan then you can not comment on this thread per BD James Houston WM77 Harris. I was going to say good luck to WM but I can not do that because it would be a violation of BDs board. Good night and I will not break the rules anymore, I promise.

Well, I am an East Surry FAN and we have scrimmaged both East Montgomery and West Montgomery. And played Mt. Airy twice!!! Plus we scrimmaged Lincolnton two days after West and East pounded us!! We actually played better against Lincolnton with Surratt than we did in Montgomery County.

Now the game between Mt. Airy and West Montgomery;
a few observations
First, both have great football staffs, headed by young, intelligent head coaches.
both teams will be well prepared and emotional
Second, they both have SPEED
Third, they both are winning programs with great followings
Fourth, both have exceptional running backs (Leake and Frost)

Since we never saw the kickers and punters from West I can not comment on their special teams. But Mt. Airy has a special kicker in Brown. Gives them great field position and ability to kick field goals.

Decisions by the two senior quarterbacks could be the difference!!!!!

Mt. Airy's ability to throw to 21 and 2 will challenge the West Montgomery secondary.
West Montgomery up front on defense was nasty and tough in our scrimmage!
One intangible will be the weather. Could the cold cause a turnover which decides the
game??
THIS SHOULD BE A GREAT HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME !!!!!!!

After seeing both teams this season I believe like all big games, it will come down to the trenches. I know that statement is cliche but in this match up there are play makers up front for both teams. Which ever team can get it done up front will be in the drivers seat. Both teams are loaded with great play makers on the perimeter and in the backfield, but the unsung hero's of both teams are the men up front. The most intriguing match up to me will be MA's offensive line against WM's defensive line and linebackers. In my opinion MA will have to use a TE or a back more this week to help block the pressure and get rid of the ball quick in the passing game. WM will probably man up MA in the secondary and the front seven will be cut loose to come after MA. #2. #8, and #21 for MA can go the distance at anytime. MA backfield don't need much time or room, so this match up is one to watch. The next big match up will be MA's defensive front 7 against the power option of WM. WM can go on long clock eating drives and three and four yard you to death. MA's defense front 7 swarms to the ball. With the foretasted temps at game time, the ball is going to be cold and hard so passing and catching may be a factor as well in terms of dropped or tipped balls. I agree with davisdorm, this has all the makings of a classic. Best of luck to both teams and regardless of who wins, you both have had great seasons. Represent the West!!!!

Great posts guys. West and Mt. Airy match up pretty good on paper. Both have Sr. QBs and good backfields. West is really young on the OL at a few positions and at times on the DL/LB as well. West has a good core of leaders and plenty of speed across the board. Hopefully the refs will let the kids play and not have as much impact as they did last week. FYI dress as warm as you can and bring blankets!! Have a safe trip down and here's to an injury and penalty free game!

Well looks like a majority of posters have selected Mt. Airy as an overwhelming favorite to win tonight. Simmons has West by 7. No doubt will be a good game and with West the underdog hopefully they'll come out more fired up than ever! Safe travels everyone and see y'all tonight!

I don't believe there is a clear favorite. That is a matter of perception. The loss the bears had means nothing once the regular season ends. But, just keep on thinking the bears are the underdogs. That is fine.

I don't think but one person has said the Bears are underdogs...... West has more youth than the Bears. Which normally translates at this level to an advantage for their opponent. When two teams are as equally matched as these two the youth of the Warriors could be the "X" factor in determining the outcome. Defense and special teams will decide the outcome of this game. I said the same thing last week against "the other team" and it proved to be the deciding factor. I also don't think that Mt. Airy will make the coaching mistakes that were made last week against the Warriors so it should be decided in the trenches. I have been chided for saying this but I certainly hope that both teams are allowed to play and that the momentum good or bad isn't broken up by an overzealous officiating crew. Best of luck to both teams. I'm heading over. See y'all there. Drive safe.

I just wanted to say how proud I was of #14 Landon Williams for WM.

After everyone else had went into the locker room he stayed out and shook every one of the MA players hands and even got more than a few hugs from them.

Excellent example of sportsmanship
#14 Williams is an unsung stalwart for the Warriors defense. Involved in nearly every play it seems. Big part of completely shutting down the run game of Mt. Airy. Has put up big number of tackles this year.
