I hope the rain holds off till the games are complete. West want be able to stop the Bandys running game but hopefully they can slow it down. Should be a good game and hopefully good fan support.

East pulling the upset? North has always been underdogs to East lol. They carry or 95% of the time carry better overall talent. There may be a better LB at North than what East has or a better TE or OG etc etc (over a period of time, not talking bout this year) but overall East always has the overall package.

Not sure what happened to them this year that their stocks were down, a few less athletes than usual. But I totally see what y’all are saying. It’s the ranking and how they are THIS year which means perhaps North is the alpha male team. Dumb as it sounds and irreverent very very few times has East Burke ever been favored on paper over Freedom. There’s always more athletes at Freedom, same for EL in this rivalry. Just my cent and a half lol.

Wolf4Lyfe, thanks for the trivia. Coach Cloninger is one of my favorites. I remember him running the ball for the Wolves. He was a tough back. I’d also heard that Paul Johnson coached at Avery County High School early in his career. I am a big fan of the triple option. To many, it’s dull and unexciting and has it’s drawbacks but It’s effective.

I wish Bandys lots of luck! I think they will pull away in 4th qtr like usual. I’ll be cheering hard for a Bandy’s win! Hell I’d even be cheering for East if we weren’t playing them!

Yeah well
Wanted to but got behind on some things that wouldn't allow me to get there until later.

Well don’t feel bad. Buddy is running late and I don’t wanna fight that crowd cause it will be a CROWD. So we’re gonna go see Watauga and Parkland. No crowd but bitter cold lol. If we left right now as we speak to see NL EL we’d be too late to get a seat.

Watauga some bad boys I’m telling ya. Only major obstacle they have is Mt Tabor. Not sure who is out East.

That should be a fantastic game. I'd say you made a good call heading up to Boone.

12-7 North. Can't get the snap right on extra points

Good to hear. How’s the crowd? It’s bout to be 14 zip Parkland. Watauga hadn’t played anybody with size and speed like this all year. Could be a problem. Keep me posted buddy

So much for North facing Shelby. But it ain’t over yet. Watauga tied up 14 all. Shoulda come up here with us. I don’t get it these guys are smaller than North Lincoln and they get it done.

What’s Bandys update?

Let’s hold em North. Well looking like that Jefferson trip is out. Ashe showed us all they don’t play nobody in the mtns. 31 7 Shelby.

20 14 Parkland at half but Watauga shows they can play. Very good game. South Point showing life.....uhhh oooo. 28 14 Hibriten. Adjustments made and Hibriten never played anybody all year prob getting worried. Hope they hold. Heck far North better hold too lol.

If east starts throwing the ball it will cause north some problems. Don't know why they haven't thrown to Dollar more.

I assume North don’t have a pass defense. Looked ok against Smokey but that was Smokey lol. This Watauga kicker has a LEG!!! Half time break he’s made a 55 yarder practicing. I’m cold......burrr

38-13 final. I have no idea how East beat Pisgah.

2nd worst conference behind Hibritens that’s why they won. Kinda like you’re at a Bar hooking up with a hot chick, go home with her , have a big time then after talking to her and being around her a few days figure out she’s crazy then you realize hmmmm that’s why I found her.

Well boys, chance to redeem what was missed in 07’ .....a chance at Shelby.

Great game in the rain at Watauga. Toes cold. Down 14 zip they came alive. North will have their hands full if they come to that conference. Watauga is the real deal for around here. And Shelby posters say Watauga wouldn’t beat em’.....y’all must be crazy lol.

Should have beat em by much more... a few horrible calls! Dollars pick was beyond ridiculous not even east fans thought that was a catch.

But looks like I was right;) or close anyway. Would have taken 40 to beat us tonight.
Sloppy play on both sides.. turnovers penalties..

Wolfe... Southfork has 2 teams in 3rd round:)

That’s a very nice accomplishment. Be the 2nd time ever North has seen 3rd round. Am I right? I’ll go with that. Anyway, in 07’ a big night of football for North Lincoln and East Burke. EB loses to the Charlotte allstars..ahem I mean Independence by 2 TDs while at Mount Pleasant North loses a highly controversial game with a MP fumble toward the end that North clearly recovered but refs said down by contact. Woulda gave North a chance, coulda won and got a shot at Shelby in the 4th. They have that chance now but it’s the 3rd.

Proud of the boys, I just hope they don’t choke cause it’s Shelby. I’ll start one tonight or tomm on this and keep SF talk going. Feel to lazy to turn Stephen Colbert off cause any second they’ll be a Trump bash. All these late night comedians make me sick.

Looks like Cribb’s with about 150 on 20 totes 12 tackles and strip/return to lead North.

On to Shelby:)
