Question for Bareman
- Thread starter NCTheOne
- Start date
I was not there listening on radio he went down in the 3rd quarter but he eventually walk off under his own power but why was he in there too begin with up 49 to 0
He was. MaxPreps rankings and the NCHSAA rankings use points vs. to seed teams. So what do you suggest we do? WM hung 80+ on CC in a game that was meaningless. WM could have hung a 100 on them for 50 years and never came close. As long as the system that is in place you have to play to get the best playoff seed possible in order to make it far in the playoffs. It will take a huge upheaval of coaches to change the current system. If they do, $$$$ will not be the same. NCAA = MaxPreps.
If he was, and is hurt even a little, that could be the most irresponsible decision a coach could make. You know his future, and it ain't scoring another play in the third quarter against north stokes on a running clock. No need stat padding when he is already committed to a d1 school. Idiotic.
I mean come on buddy. You better have a better excuse than that for him to be in there. Just put the other Greene in there to run the score up. No way you can convince me north could stop any athlete the bears threw out there so the risk was not worth the reward.
I suggest you leave maxpreps alone and let the chips fall where they may..A good team as Mt.Airy shouldn't have to worry about maxpreps..Hopefully your star is ok..because Mt.Airy is good but not great without Greene.
He will be fine. It was during the first possession of the 3rd qrtr. Think his right foot got sprained or stepped on. Walked off on his on. Just had ice on it.
But to be clear...if anyone thinks Mt. Airy would pull starters until the last 3 minutes is sadly mistaken. Regardless of the team they love to show their dominance. They've done it for years. I mean, how tough is it when you pull from the entire county and get to play in 1A playoffs when ADM numbers come out? Just ask them. They'll tell you. Not to mention, ask them about how many games they play against opponents that are of equal or better talent outside of their "comfort" zone. Nada.
I know that Max Preps stated their formula had a cutoff point but never provided the number. I remember this being discussed with concern and thought the NCHSAA requested they remove the point differential for the NC standings?
I much prefer the current system than inferior teams with strong records being seeded high while another team that plays a strong schedule (both conference and /or non conference). Watched teams strategically schedule weaker non conference competition to help pad the schedule.
Nobody worth anything is jealous of one small 1a title and nothing else in the last 50 years, a title won with the help of transfers from Patrick County VA and North Surry. I see the truth hurt in the other thread that you never bothered to respond to.

Question gdawg has Mt Airy ever won anything in any male sport without at least a few transfers from one of the following schools: North Surry, Elkin, Patrick County VA, East Surry? Oh and despite the additions Thomasville still beats Mt Airy in '08 and Tarboro still beats Mt Airy in '18. To quote you "TAKE IT TO THE BANK".
Whine about this and whine about that, but each of you will still be standing on the fence or setting in the stands come playoff time , praying some drops a ball , they get hurt , or a Thomasville or tarboro whoop up on the bears cause your team couldn’t ,, lmao!! POINT BEING YOU WILL BE IN MT AIRY WATCHING THE BEARS PLAY CAUSE YOUR TEAM LOST IN THE FIRST ROUND AGAIN!!! Step back , SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP.
I’d have to respectfully disagree with this for the most part. MA has played 3A Morehead (4-3), 2A West Stokes (6-1), & 2A West Stokes (5-3). Each of those teams are pretty decent and 2 of them gave MA competitive games this year and could have potentially beat the Bears. Granted, they didn’t go schedule someone like 4A West Forsyth, East Forsyth, Reagan, etc., but how many 1A teams actually do? They had some games they know they’ll easily win (Starmount and Elkin) in addition to the games that will challenge them more.

starters get one possession generally to start 2nd half in games like these...last night was not the case; all reserves on the field...Greene stepped in as there was only 10 on the field.....just coincidence that the play called was a pass....got tackled and his foot was under him...he’s fine
Did you say North Stokes was 2a and decent...man you lost all credibility with that one....next...

West Stokes is mediocre for 2a..they will be out in the 1st rd along with North Surry...you guys know that.
And east Wilkes? Maybe we get lucky and those cards come to Mt Airy, that way we can talk about it that sat morning after —- just saying —- lmao!! Won’t be much of a conversation.

On a normal night, yes. First week of the season with several starters out, not as much. MA didn’t play anywhere close to their best and Starmount put up a tremendous fight, but MA led the entire game. MA is better than ES and you saw what ES did to Starmount the following week. If you have to rank MA’s schedule and categorize their games as “challenge” v. “should win” then Starmount would fall in the “should win” category. No disrespect to the Rams, but they aren’t as talented as Starmount teams from years past.
West will win their conference and advance past the 1st round. Will they win the state or even advance to the western finals? No. But they are a good challenge athletically for any 1A team. They will are definitely more of a challenge than scheduling anyone from the MVAC (1A or 2A).
Hey, everyone is entitled to their opinion. But having seen both teams play I firmly believe MA would beat Starmount every single time if they played again this year and I don’t think it would be anywhere as close as it was in week 1. But that’s my 2 cents.
Nobody is bragging about EW..but no one is scared of Mt.Airy..weve certainly beat them before when weren't supposed to. When they had perhaps one of your programs best backs in Lionel Smith. I don't play..but the way you run your mouth..you would think that you do..scrub. You're a fan of Mt.Airy..im a fan of EW..so stop actin like your'e a kid..and stop acting like you actually play. Get over ya self.
West Stokes will be out in the 1st rd dude. Morehead will be out in the 1st rd dude. N.Surry will be out in the 1st rd dude. Wilkes Central actually played 1 top 10 3a Watauga...( They would mash Mt.Airy). and 3a ( Alexander Central)..they both would mash Mt.Airy. You guys will do well in the playoffs...but deep down you and i know that you wont win it all..and you guys like everybody else will get manhandled by Tarboro. And speaking of EW..we handled Starmount a heck of a lot better than you guys...Just saying.
I agree with you that Morehead and N.Surry have a significant chance to be out in the first round. Disagree on West Stokes though. I agree that MA would most likely lose to Watagua and Alexander Central, but I guarantee it’d be relatively close (not 50-7 or 43-14). Wilkes Central just lost to Elkin...the same team MA handled 42-13. I don’t think MA will win a state title while Tarboro is around. I’m not an MA fan, but I actively follow the teams in the NW1A, MVC, and WPAC and can unbiasedly say MA looks like the best 1A or 2A team in NW NC. Trying to give an objective perspective on the season.
No one has doubted that this should be Mt.Airy's year. You are score comparing..thats not good..tho..Starmount had chances to beat Mt.Airy. Starmount will probably finish around 4th in the MVAC..be careful with the score comparing.
Print —— shhhhhhh —— time to go to time out!!! You are in timeout!! You do not pass go—- and your team won’t see the bears ,, they won’t make it out of the 1st round !!! Kid ,, not me fat boy ,, you jump on a post — I’m here to smack you back . That’s my job ,, — aka—- DA PRINT SMACKER / THE BEAR BACKER!!!
We will compare scores when the birds of Ronda comes to town ,, we will compare how bad East Surry whooped that butt to how bad the bears do ,, but we know coach will call the dogs off of his former team and former ma coach
Fair enough regarding score comparing. Each game is different (which is why I said MA would fair significantly better v. Starmount should they meet again). Good luck to your EW Cardinals the rest of the regular season. Maybe Coach Wilmoth can pick up a conference championship in his first year at the helm!
Talking about how tough Wilkes Central schedule is and they just lost to Elkin. Roflmao

West Stokes will go past the first round and would beat east Wilkes by at least 50. They have more talent than they've had in a while. If Mt Airy played Starmount again it wouldn't be close.
Lol..Print Smacker..now i will have to laugh at that. West Stokes..btw..you guys scheduled how many 1a teams for your tough schedule? You lost to 1a Mt.Airy..shhh the 1st good 2a team you guys play in the playoffs = goodnight. You guys would not beat East by 50..Just worry about paddin your schedule so you can get out of the 1st rd. So tired of hearin..how Mt.Airy would beat Starmount NOW..hush..you guys struggled like no tomorrow with the Rams..and have been embarrassed ever since about it. Forbush.. EW...W.Stokes..won by 10+ pts against them..while ya bears hung on for dear life..Their style gave yall bums fits .Admit it and hush gdawg. Yall betta hope ya don't see them in the playoffs. Goodnight. Btw.sbellbivdevoe.reading comprehension.is needed for you...i only defended WC's schedule..not how good they were. Mt.Airy's non conference schedule was a lil tougher than EW..but West Stokes..Morehead are not exactly world beaters in their respective classifications....Just saying.

We are 7 and 0 go schedule with 3a moorehead and see how you guys from west and starmount and Elkin and east wilkes do and also wilkes Central . Moorehead got pretty dang good running back and they played Reildsville to a 7 point game this year in 2a that they lost in the very last minute of the game
