Don’t know anything about ND. Got to respect a 3rd round playoff team. So I will.

With Crest You may get run defense then again you may not. Pass defense 😂. You will also be able to fake 1 punt and get a first down. Everyone watching in the stands will know it’s coming but we have no way of relaying the message.

What you will definitely get is a dose of speed with 1 and 6 and if they’d give the ball to 3 and he gets a step. Bye.

Also, they’ll get the honor to tackle a straight up machine. If there is a better running back in the State than Mari Adam’s I’d pay to watch him. There isn’t.

I don’t know who wins. Here’s to a great game.

North will bring a crowd to shelby... Er, boiling springs... Should be a good game. Speed is definitely concerning, but if you are correct about your pass defense then our receivers may be able to exploit it.

Sure hope I don't have to work next Friday...

A question for ND fans,
It seems that North Davidson is changing classifications every few years. It’s seems that you guys were 4A than 2A than back to 3A. Am I right in that observation and did another school open near you to cause you to move classifications?

I think ND was 4A until 2017 when they moved to 2A and back to 3A last realignment.
Thank you, I thought so. I remember them playing Shelby in the 2AA state championship a few years ago. I also remember them having a d-lineman some years ago
Who was a big time D1 prospect. I believe they were 4A at that time.

Yep, ND flip flopped between 3A and 4A in the 80s and 90s, then in 2001 were 4A until Oak Grove opened. Ledford had grown to 3A but all became 2A.

North went to 3 out of 4 Regionals and one State championship game in 2A. We had beat Salisbury 4 straight times but they won the fifth one in Regional. They were due but it still hurt because of how they won state in a blowout. The regional was the defacto state title game and it sucked lol

So charger fans say they run three plays. Well if you run it well enough it doesn't matter if they know it's coming.

It will be interesting to see your RB against Tanner Jordan. I believe they said on the radio he made his 160th tackle of the year the other night to set the single season school record.

Crest is no stranger to being this deep in the playoffs. Neither is North, but ours has been in 2A the last few years.

Crest will be the favorite, as they should be. But who knows? Scotland County and Zamir White knows... 😛

Good luck to both teams and may our boys finish with class and injury free!

BlackNightNut, I’d say stick in their ear, but we want to do it! Good luck, brother. Don’t let Rulz bother you much!

God we got screwed this year going 4A. North Davidson in the 3rd round. We could have beaten them 80-0 if we wanted. Instead we got mallard creek in the second round

I'm sure you could have made the score whatever you wanted with six turnovers. No excuses, Aville was much better than us that night. And probably would beat us again. But just a few years ago we beat you guys 38-15 and it could have been much worse... Any given day right?

Quit whining, Cougs! Your lone presence on the boards explains a lot. Not your fault!

I will say this... ND fans know what it's like. In 2001 we moved up to 4A, won the CPC title, beat West Charlotte in the first round and had to play Independence and Chris Leak in round 2. We got smashed 49-14 I believe... No one expected us to win conference that year, and it was before 4AA/4A. I would have liked our chances in subdivision that year in retrospect but hey, you play who you play.

North was in a conference for years with schools like West Forsyth who annually has 2300-2400 kids, Reagan didn't exist so Mt. Tabor had around 2000 kids, Davie was always bigger than ND and even RJ Reynolds was always a larger school.

If you're good you're good. A few years ago watching Shelby in the state championship game I thought they would win the CPC 4A conference regularly just based on athletes and coaching.

Hopefully Aville continues to have success in the future!

The senior class and junior class in 2017 were 4A size. Oak Grove started with freshmen and sophomores. After two years North was nowhere close to 4A size. Only year one could that argument be made

We had 1300 year one, 1100 year two and under 1000 after that. Don't forget the 20/30/30/20 model was being used at the time either...

Looking at adms right now... ND had 991 last year and Asheville had 1376. So there's that dead horse put to rest...

Can you send me that link? I will gladly shut up. I have only seen things that said we had 1,050 or something. Regardless, it doesn’t matter much now. Good luck to the remaining teams

Now that all the ND enrollment backstory has filled, anything on the current team? Heavy run or pass, special players or big wins on the year?
Spread offense. 4 WRs and 1 RB. Pretty balanced. We like to get 5 or six different players the ball and find the weak spot on defense.

Defensively we have two good linebackers and linemen that like to find the ball in the backfield. Secondary fundamentally sound but average speed.

Lost to all 4A schools we played. Got blown out in the opening weeks. Then upset Oak Grove and never looked back. Killed everyone else until last week up 19-0 after three quarters and Hickory made a great comeback in the last eight minutes. However, our boys stepped up and snatched victory after almost giving it away.

Crest will be tough. The Black Knights will play their best regardless.

I normally jinks Crest, but. I'm gonna say it, Crest SHOULD beat the brakes off ND. 23 points allowed plus their conference sucks, and Asheville dominated who lost to KM. There is No reason Crest doesn't get a big south rematch against a big south team. I don't believe in bulletin board material. If you need it, then get off the field
