Looking through the Brackets, I see some very possible upsets. Not sure how good TW Andrews really is but should they have to face Clinton, it could be ugly. Beyond that, should Clinton make it to West Craven, WC better bring their A Game.
Possible Upsets
- Thread starter 4th&Goal
- Start date
I could see RS Central and East Burke winning 1st round game against higher seed. Bandys and West Iredell could upset higher seed in 2nd rd.
I knew the last few days we was seeing "the calm before the storm."
Yea there is a storm brewing. Stay tuned!
Hey Otis, I'm not a Clinton fan but they are a dangerous team, just saying. WC is a solid team but not invincible
We owe Clinton one. Nobody is coming in our stadium and beating us.Hey Otis, I'm not a Clinton fan but they are a dangerous team, just saying. WC is a solid team but not invincible
I think there may be a few upsets in the 2nd round with teams having bye weeks
Some 3rd round upsets are definitely possible when you have teams like Lincolnton, Shelby, Hendersonville seeded low
I haven't seen Bandy's this year so I can't elaborate on how they will match up with Stuart Cramer. Their record is deceiving given who they lost to. This is not your typical SC team. They are big and physical with a really mobile QB. Weakness is depth. An injury or two could completely derail them.
Bandys is tough, just play in brutal conference. Cramer has a good win over Linconton so im sure it will be a good game.
I’ve seen Bandy’s, Newton, Maiden, all in person this year. Cramer is bigger than all 3 teams. Cramer #9 LB ( LR COMMIT) about 6’1 ish 220 ish also plays full back in that “old school power I formation” is a great 2 way player. #4 TE/DE is 6’3 255 lbs is a monster on the field. Also rated a 3 STAR. Holds a few D1 offers. They also put him out Wide at receiver. He had a monster game against Shelby. Cramer doesn’t have a ton of depth. 2 losses came to burns & Shelby. But was in the game with both teams.
I'll say this Clinton is the best 5-5 team in the state
I wouldn’t call it an upset. But with the set up of the RPI. I guess it would be lol
I believe Lincolnton is a scary team at the 8 seed. Lincolnton having 6 starters out against Cramer (RB,FS, TE, RG, LB, DE) & losing that game to a tough Cramer team. Hurt the chance of the wolves being a top 4 seed in the playoffs. But they were all back against WL this past week.
Also, The Wolves only start 3 seniors. Wolves make a run this year. Watch the next 2 years. Sophomore & Junior heavy.

Agree Lincolnton is going to be scary in the next year or two. All eyes will be on them about making a run in the 3A class.
West Craven is the best 9-1 team in 4A in the State Wiz.
You must have forgotten that Hibriten is 9-1.
Dont think so. I think WRH is the best 5-5 team in the state. They gave JK all they wanted and then some.
From everything I have read on this earlier, it sounds like a lot of people on here think Bandys is the best 5-5 team in the state.
I haven't seen Clinton or WRH play so I can't/won't comment on them.
Have seen Bandys a few times. Won't say they're the best 5-5 team in the state, but I will say that they're a pretty solid team. They're led by their QB, but they also have pieces at RB and a couple at WR.
They aren't the biggest group up front, but don't let that fool you. They can and will out-work you. I think that group on both sides has done a great job all season long despite being undersized.
All of their losses - aside from the East Lincoln game - are one-possession losses. A 5-point loss @ Kings Mountain; 1-point loss to Newton-Conover; 7-point loss to Maiden and a 2-point OT loss @ Hickory.
Not sure how deep a run they'll make, but it's been a tremendous season for them despite the 5-5 record. I know teams won't do it, but don't look at their 5-5 record and think it'll be a walk in the park - much like it won't be with either of those other teams mentioned like Clinton or WRH.
Looking forward to seeing how the playoffs all unfold.
Trust me SC can’t overlook anyone. Only one kid on the team has any playoff experience and that was 1 game as a 9th grader. Looking forward to seeing Bandys QB, just hope we don’t see too much of him.
7 point loss to Maiden can be deceiving...was down 21 with 1.5 minutes left. We pulled our starters and they scored, then "recovered" an onside kick in which they touched the ball before it went 10 yards. Was able to score again on a deep pass (2 starter DBs out with injuries - reason we pulled people to begin with was bc they got hurt and didn't want to risk more injury). They are very capable, but can be ran on, they have a great ability to pour on points at the very end.
See ya in a few weeks
Not an upset, except for by seeding purposes but East Rutherford getting Shelby in the second round will be a quick exit. Not too many times a 10 seed will be the favorite to win a State Championship.
Anything anybody can do to screw ER, it will happen.
I'll say this- WRH is also 5-5 and defeated Clinton.
I hope so. Both teams have got to take care of business in the mean time! I’m having fun!!
Yall just take care of Reidsville for the west lol
I like this new Otis and his new found confidence. I wish the dogs of Wallace would ride your coat tails like you rode theirs for the past few seasons. I almost thought you were from Wallace at one point.

Clinton could easily be 9-1 right now as 4 of their losses was by 7 points or less - I would not want Clinton in my bracket.
I got several good friends over there I enjoy hanging out with. I consider Kevin Motsinger a friend as well. I may go to their game Friday since we got a bye. Come on and join us. I’ll buy supper at Rose Hill Restaurant!I like this new Otis and his new found confidence. I wish the dogs of Wallace would ride your coat tails like you rode theirs for the past few season.

Ok, let me order my WRH Bulldog hat and accessories so I fit in with the locals.
Just be patient and Shelby will make mistakes. They have all year playing undisciplined football
You ain’t got the balls to show up. Admit it.
