Every ranking I've seen Forest Hills is ranked in the top 10 except this one. Maxpreps, Massey, CalPreps and The Charlotte Observer/News and Observer poll. 5-0 even after beating a very good Charlotte Latin team isn't enough I guess.
Maybe because the combined record of your schedule so far is 4-18. 3 of those wins were by one team. You're hanging your hat on that Charlotte Latin game but their resume isn't great either.
But they also have Chase ranked #7 with opponents having 2-15 record and they don't have any signature wins at all.
But this could have been the year that Chase finally beat Shelby if they were in the same conference . Just kidding, I dont think Chase ever beat Shelby.
Feel free to add or subtract or add more. Thought I'd try at the halfway point of the season.I think you still have Forest hills too low ... that win against Latin was big .. but in the end we will all see who is gonna be king of 2A this year. That’s the thing I actually like about no splitJust for fun my top 10. Feel free to complain or gripe and rip me a new one. Just for fun and I'm home bored.

I think the big thing with NCPreps Ranking is they favor schools who have star players (for the state) and are perennially good. You do get some exceptions...I think they just favor them.
If we get by a decent 3A Parkwood team after the bye this week I think we'll meet Monroe undefeated. Monroe though has to get by a decent 4A Porter Ridge team this week who hung on til the 4th quarter with Cardinal Gibbons.
They are waiting to see if the Latin win was a fluke or if that's who you are.
Fair point. I guess Chase had a lot more success than you guys last year and returned basically everyone.
With FH our O-Line needs to step up just a tad in pass protection but our defense is stout. Our Defensive end Ephraim Deese 6'4" 220 is almost unstoppable and Middle linebacker Caden Smith may be the best linebacker in Union County as a junior. He's definitely a top 3 in Union County.
We scored on a punt return TD, defensive TD and a field goal. Offense got to the 5 yard line but was intercepted. We then got to the one yard line but two dumb penalties pushed us back. We had to settle for a field goal. Score shouldn't have been as close as it was. Dumb mistakes. We also played that game without our star RB who was hurt also without our starting kicker who was also hurt.
Salisbury has been one of the top 2A teams in the state the last few years and they are super athletic once again. The QB, RB and WR are really good players and make stopping them a task. I don't think they are winning state good this year, but a tough playoff game if healthy.
Yeah, their margin of victory over Thomasville got my attention. They are being slept on.
Tville-Salisbury game was a tight game in the first half. Dogs had two big plays called back could have been 14-14 at halftime. Salisbury's depth and the big RB took over in the second half.
If you're running back is a giant bowling ball (ref AC Reynolds) you can run over them with no resistance.
Hard to tell. Only team that really had success running the ball was ACR, KM some. The pass is what has hurt Shelby in the other games. The Crest loss was seriously one of the worst losses I have ever witnessed. Moved a player who was playing linebacker to safety, and the safety who is much bigger, to linebacker, hat and some other changes. It looks encouraging. Time will tell. The Burns game will tell all.

If he's quick and fast then you have to throw to him in the secondary and he will be fine out there, other wise it'll be hard for him.
Reidsville has a better shot at them this year if they play
Will sound arrogant to some, and will ruffle some feathers, but a lot of those deficiencies lessen vs 2A opponents. It’s just a fact. But with that said, Shelby is not the team they were last year.If you're running back is a giant bowling ball (ref AC Reynolds) you can run over them with no resistance.
If he's quick and fast then you have to throw to him in the secondary and he will be fine out there, other wise it'll be hard for him, unless he can shake his way out there on the edges(their weak spot).

To your credit, though, this post was spot on.If you're running back is a giant bowling ball (ref AC Reynolds) you can run over them with no resistance.

If you make it to the title game playing mostly running teams that can't beat you to edge the MOST of the time you have a point, but I think Burns, the other side of 704(FHS/Monroe), and Reidsville can have the same success Crest had on offense.
