BTW

Ill say it, there is only one team in the east in 2a ball that causes any of the top western teams concern and thats Wallace

Not a single one of the others, NOT ONE, worries anyone on this side of the state


Sorry until yall show the west the door, which wont happen, the west is King...
You haven’t seen much Eastern NC football with that statement.

Well at least we have some fond memories to reminisce on…..Pasco County tho…..well atleast you guys try. Chin ups. Maybe you will get there one day.
Not with NE being 8 miles away. Northeastern is in the heart of Elizabeth City while Pasquotank is about 3 miles outside the city limits (Hwy 17 North) about 30 minutes from Va high school powerhouse Oscar Smith. Pasquotank has a really nice stadium but as long as Coach Moores at Northeastern they will never be able to get the players to compete.

After watching Forest Hills for over 40 years I never thought I'd see the day we weren't a power running game. From the wishbone option attack, the I formation to the flex bone offense we would run, run, run. Now we are the complete opposite. We throw the ball all over the place but still have 3-4 good running backs when needed. It's fun to watch. 🤪
Jordan Bennett will be back this week, too.

Well sir, I have seen enough(2a ball) over the last 20-25 years to realize that way more often than not, the east representative doesn't have enough for the western representative.. Tarboro is 1a now they were always a tough out, and when Reidsville (Who is west team) is sent east they won some titles, but the rest of yall in the time frame above, haven't been able to do much

Wallace last year had their best chance, amazing run offense, but they will admit (if they are honest) when Shelby got a stop or two they knew it was over because we could throw the ball all day and there wasnt a thing they could do to stop it.. Not being cocky, being truthful....

at least we can blame Northeastern, what's your excuse?

ya'll can't even sniff a conference championship
You can't blame anyone but "The Tank". I guess that Northeastern line helps you sleep at night. When is the last time you sniffed 6+ wins in a season? Much less a conference championship....

No we have not, Clinton has contributed to ALOT of the easts championship losses.

Pasquotank has not, you got us beat in that.
Remove "championship" from the sentence and Pasquotank has quite a few more. The only other time Pasquotank and championship should be in the same sentence is when a "not" is in between them.

Ex. "not" winning, "not" competing, "not" relevant

I am an Eastern guy, but anyone who does not admit that Western football, especially in the 2A ranks, is better based on championships won, is seeing things through their own glasses, rose colored or not.

I think it is fair to question how the results would have been had sub dividing never taken place but I still think for whatever reason (and I have my own theories) over the last 20 years or so the gap has widened.

Take Tarboro the last couple of years, move them back to 2A and the west rep in 1A would be heavily favored to defeat whomever came from the east. I do not think Tarboro would have defeated Shelby either year.

I think the gap will only continue to widen until eastern teams become more diversified (if that is possible). Sure, wing t and single wing offenses can help you be successful and win conference and even regional titles, but more times than not will not be enough to consistently win state championships.

OK, so now my Eastern buddies can throw shade at me.

I think until last year Clinton had won 3 straight conference championships in a row. Included in that conference were JK, WRH, and ED.
Not 100% sure though. You know better than me I’m sure.
Boo!!

I was referring to last year, I didn't look beyond that

I think this is an accurate statement and it’s definitely going to upset many in the southeastern part of the state.

This is what I was trying to convey in my original post, but my sugars was up or something so I typed a bunch of nonsensical garbage, that looking back, I don't even know what I was trying to say

Well done Sportscribe..

No shade, totally agree. Especially the East as a whole. But, in WRH case last year, it was lack of defense on a great versitle quick scoring offense that won that particular game. WRH’s offense was not the problem.

The funniest thing in this thread is anyone believing Chopper is a Pasquotank fan. I bet he has never been in Pasquotank County and probably uses it as a slam on the east because of how the name sounds.
What say you Chopper?

Yeah, same goes for Lee. We had great o line and two other back that plenty yds also.

Not the same. He's a great and talented QB, but with that line, those receivers and YOUR defense I would have looked like Brady out there






Shelby's offense had to work to score on Burns and Reidsville

Which teams in the East have the best quarterbacks?
Messiah Semndaia from Kinston is the leading 2a East QB at just over 1100 yards currently.

Wilkes Thomas from Greene Central has 900.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the QB from Northeastern…Melson….who missed some games….and has 800 currently…..will be top QB from 2a East after it’s all said and done.
