Outside of East Forsyth (and maybe Glenn) this league is average - at best. EF is the only one of the CPC teams you really ever hear about come playoff time.
Average. Mr Tabor just put up almost 50 on RC. Look I have seen football all over the state. And normally I would say the Charlotte conferences are the best in the state. But this year it might be the CPC.

OverRaiders. LOLOLOL. Very funny and semi creative. Think RC is way down this year. The Hood brothers were exceptional at RC.

Agree the CPC will be tough this year. EAst Forsyth is gonna be a BIG problem this year. MT Tabor is well coached and only a season or two from a ship.

It was a display of bad,boring and unwatchable football.. Defense gave up over 500 total yards,over 400 yards rushing..

In case some folks are wondering, the worst seaon ever as well as the only losing season ever for Richmond was back in 1973, when the Raiders finished the year with a 4-5-1 record.

East Forsyth, Glenn, Mt Tabor, West Forsyth, Reagan and Davie are 6 teams who are consistent playoff teams.
There simply isn't another conference that deep in the state...Nepsy! and others. This isn't a one year thing, this has been going on for many years. East Forsyth is the ring leader and I expect them to bring home the Championship.

Judging from the responses here from Richmond fans...not gonna be a particularly good year for the Raiders, so I am not sure I would base the success of an entire conference based off of 1 non-conference win the first game of the season.

4AA West runs through Charlotte
4A West runs through East Forsyth

Did NC go back to splitting classifications? I thought there were only 4 state champs now..hope it stays that way. 8 state champs in NC felt like a participation trophy at times.
My thoughts exactly. I absolutely hate split divisions. I’m willing to compromise at adding a 5A division.

To answer your question though. No, NC didn’t go back to split divisions for now at least.

Reagan will be a pretty good team. Beat mighty Shelby in scrimmage last week. I was checking Mt Tabor schedule and no cupcakes.

Mind went blank there for a minute - last year was the first year they didn’t split state championships.

Richmond has lost that big before(Chambers and Providence just off the top of my head). Is it because it was Mt Tabor that did it that it seems a huge shocker?

As an outside observer, I am amazed that so many Richmond County fans think they are witnessing a 4-alarm dumpster fire. May be way too soon to draw that conclusion. Mt. Tabor is good. High football is about matchups and where a bunch of 16-17 year old heads are on a given day. In this day and age, any team, no matter how talented, can get steamrolled on occasion. If Richmond rises up and beats Butler, these same posters will be dusting off their "path to the house" predictions from last year. If you guys are 0-4 after 4 weeks, then yes, you have that roaring dumpster fire. Until then, might want to keep your powder dry. I like to live by the phrase that nothing is ever as good or as bad as it seems at any given point in time.

Here is the problem with teams in the Sandhills. The only county down there that is growing is Moore county. Richmond Scotland Anson Montgomery Cumberland Ect are shrinking. No one is moving into those districts. Pinecrest is the best situation down there something that would have been laughed at 10 years ago is now true Pinecrest is the best job in that area. Here is something else that Pinecrest has that the other county schools does not have Pinecrest has two other schools in county to have transfers come from. So is Richmond county football dead? No but it will never ever be the same. The state tried to even up the East vs west by making the Sandhills conference an eastern conferences I think that they will be a non player in who goes to the state championship out East. With places like Raleigh Durham and Wilmington booming and the areas around them growing as well I see schools like Cleveland and Clayton North Brunswick becoming more
Of an impact down the road than say a Richmond county. Plus By no means is this a shot at the places in the Sandhills but most people want to move to where there is opportunity and things to do with good services and the places mentioned in the Sandhills just don’t have that Look what has happened to Anson county. A 4A school not that long ago it’s what a 2A school now. Scotland was also a 4A and now is a 3A. How long will it be until Richmond County no longer plays on the states largest classification It is sad to see that has happened to that conference but other than Pinecrest the schools will
Continue to shrink and the talent pool will be shallower and the schools in and near major cities will be the ones growing and getting better talent. It’s just the way things are going.

Magic !

You’re not even close.
Or ever will be.

But you still have your stadium signage.
That will last you a couple of years.

100% coach. Only difference would note is RC has a better tradition than Anson and Scotland and a much better youth football feeder program that will get the guys better prepared for MS and HS ball. While RC is shrinking its still not as a great rate. Pinecrest has an excellent feeder program and in a growing area.

Richmond is very young. Offensive and defensive coordinators new and inexperienced. Offense showed a spark at times against Mt.Tabor. Tabor did anything they wanted on offense.

Don’t forget Hoke County being at the doorstep of Ft. Bragg. That’s a sleeping giant if the right coach gets ahold of it.

Thing is who wants to move to Hoke county. I mean if you live in one of the urban areas or will be thought to convince the wife to move there
