3A is just a wait and see situation in my opinion. What happens Friday with Mt Airy, Mountain Heritage, Walkertown. Who knows what is the real situation in Shelby.
Right now I would say that it would be very hard to pick anyone other than East Randolph as top dog.

There's no wait and see in 3A, they all suck. Lincolnton, Northeastern, and Shelby are the only half decent teams in that whole glorified JV division.

Now now Chopper…
There’s a half decent team located in southeastern Randolph I think…
Time will tell…
Ain’t you got some Shelby or Reidsville folks to pick on?
Who listens to a sophomore anyway? šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚šŸ˜‚

That Shelby is in anyone’s Top 5, let alone an early pick for a Regional Finalist is nothing short of………a farce! When they finally beat a team that actually has a chance of ending the season with an above .500 record we can talk.

Let’s see how some of them finish now that conference play is getting started. I see a couple that could finish last or near the bottom in conference Play.

I like this guy, BUT he's trying to hard to copy my swag

Go find your own vibe kid. You'll mess around and cause Lincolnton to catch stray bullets around here.

Ask the 98th Champion of 2nd To Having No Sense

Kid?!? You don't know who you're talking about/to. I'll go nowhere and do nothing I'm told, and you'll either learn to adapt or get swept beneath the tide of frustration and disappointment.

There's one of you every season, but you guys usually pop up around playoff time when you think you might get to the big game.

You're way ahead of schedule.

I included everyone's OWP from NCHSAA RPI page. You can see that some of these teams haven't played anyone with a pulse yet. I'd rather be 3-1 and have a lose against a top tier team VS being 4-0 and having a OWP of 0.08. I haven't checked but I would assume that means all of the teams you have played (so total of 16 games, again assuming they all played 4 each) they are 1-15.

Interesting note….

I read where the Brevard at Franklin game that played Thursday night didn’t start until 9:30 pm due to a lightning delay. Heck!…that game ended at midnight.

Brevard pulled it out in OT…it was at Franklin too! Those Blue Devils must be something….thats a great win.

Daggum thriller!šŸ‘

3A Shelby, Walkertown, Kinston, Mount Airy, East Rutherford
Honorable Mention WRH, Linconton, Eastern Randolph, East Surry

4A Reidsville, Brevard, Maiden, West Stokes, East Duplin
Honorable Mention Bandys, Hibriten, West Craven, Mount Pleasant, Pisgah
Would you like to make any changes here after 4 games?

===============================================================
I am not sure who, besides Mount Airy, is having an open week next week, but Martin was back Friday night, getting over 200 yds rushing, and hopefully the other 5 that has been out will be back for the 1st conference game against cross-town North Surry.

Probably drop West Stokes out of 4a conversation and add Burns.

Kidd, nice to see you back on here, or maybe I should say thanks for finding you way here. And since are back, could tell us what in the world happened to ER in their recent setback?
Not being smart here, really asking what happened and what is status of ER.

Well, you see what had happened was…
Ok ER lost to an undefeated 6A Asheboro team by a touchdown. The team’s other loss was to Union Pines, at their place, and they are 6A as well.
In Asheboro game they turned the ball over on downs at the opponent’s 40 yard line with under a minute to play. Don’t think there’s really that much ā€œwrongā€ with team. Just, as usual, playing above their weight class in nonconference…
Beat Roundabout High though so that’s big šŸ˜‚
Should be fine in conference but who knows. As I’ve said many times, teenagers are hard to figure out.
Glad to have found my way over sir. Took me awhile but was worth it..
Don’t know if you noticed but I’m an All American nowā€¦šŸ˜‚

I agree with them. An All-American of the first order !
That means a lot coming from, quite possibly, the most respected, as well as respectful, poster on these forums.
Thank you sir and hopefully the team you support makes some noise again this season.

Still one of the coldest times I’ve ever spent watching a game was at Lincolnton…
Now I gotta go crank the Edenpure just thinking about it!

Bless you, my friend and thank you. It takes guys like you to tolerate guys like me. Go Wildcats.
