Football Western Foothills 4A/5A - 2nd round

[Flyrod]

Schedule
Bandys at Stuart Cramer ( Bandys train keeps rolling. Easy win this past week. The offends seems to be clicking on all cylinders right now. Stuart Cramer has had a good year and a extra week to prepare. @Stormsurge1 may be able to provide more information on the Strom)

East Lincoln vs West Henderson (East has had some time off, not sure if that is good or bad, we will see. Hopefully East will not be looking ahead to the potential matchup with Crest. East has the fire power to beat a lot of teams, no slip ups this week)

Foard at Newton Conover (Foard is in the 2nd round Expanded or not, that is awesome. Not sure if there is a chance of an upset but Newton may be riding high from Maiden's win and looking ahead to a possible rematch with Maiden (granted they get by North Surry))

Hickory vs Montgomery Central (Will Hickory get back on the right path after a scare vs Bandys. Based off of schedules, I would think Hickory runs away with it but wilder things have happened in the playoffs)

Maiden vs North Surry (Can Maiden get back on track. A rematch with Newton may be on the horizon. What does @amaidendevil scouting report of North Surry look like. Did he make it back)

West Iredell at Pisgah (huge matchup for the Warriors . Don't know much about Pisgah but I believe West has a shot for upset. West has a pretty good team and is tested)

Lincolnton vs Hendersonville (Home matchup for the Wolves. Should be a really good game based of the schedules for each team.)



Bunker Hill
North Lincoln - Tough year for the 1st year head coach.


Standings
Hickory (9-1), (8-0)
East Lincoln (9-1), (7-1)
Newton Conover (8-2), (6-2)

Stuart Cramer is healthy and hopefully ready. Should be a clash of styles. We know Bandys is going to throw it all over the yard and they know we will try to control the clock and run the ball 80% of the time. First home playoff game in school history so it should be fun.

I believe they beat Concord at home a few years back for their first and only playoff win in school history. If I remember right, then they ended up playing West Charlotte in the first round the last few years with that wacky system the state had in with the free and reduced lunch modifier. But somebody can correct me, I haven't followed them that closely until this year. They've got some dudes...but so does Bandy's.

Only one playoff win in school history and it was on the road. First home playoff game ever. Also have never won more than 8 games in a season. Have absolutely no tradition.

Seems like there are some schools who are either establishing a new tradition or building up an old one. Hopefully the eight-class system lets some schools be more competitive.

@Flyrod I outran Barney and a handful of hornets down 77 so I'm alive

@Flyrod I outran Barney and a handful of hornets down 77 so I'm alive

Sure am glad you made it home in one piece and hopefully in peace.

Would be interested in your scouting report on North Surry. Fisher Leftwich returning to North's field was a very big (and relief, some reports had him out of football period) event and great spark for North.

 

[Flyrod]

@Flyrod I outran Barney and a handful of hornets down 77 so I'm alive

Great, we were all worried. Now, what's the spread for the game after watching them

 

[amaidendevil]

Now a run down of last night's game scouting report you may say lol. Salisbury is young and not very good. They beat North Surry with speed on the outside for big gains. But when the field shrunk near end zone they could not move the ball at all. QB had some nice throws that WRs just dropped.. but the constant stall outs is what beat Salisbury. Now North surry. Good fundamental team but lotta cracks in their armour. For one as Greyhounds they are not very fast lol. #3 wr/RB is their main weapon and #0 RB isn't bad. Big line but honestly didnt impress me. QB saw a lotta pressure and he doesn't do well under pressure makes bad throws and threw interception. He will run and can pick up yards but wouldn't say dangerous. #0 RB runs low he tends to get the ball at looks bottled up but slips under the the line and pops out the other side for big gains. #3 wr/RB is all over the place made plays out of bad tackling of Salisbury. On catches and took handoffs as a more power back for good gains. N surry defense can't handle speed they do well if they can keep play between tackles. Not a lotta pressure for their size just clogged the middle up. They give cushions on pass plays that will get them against passing teams.

 

[amaidendevil]

Salisbury brought 51 fans I counted lol. Maiden probably 3 scores

New coach was a huge reason for us.

I checked 17-18 Year on Maxpreps.
Beat Concord 21-20 at home and then lost to Catholic in the Second Round

That's not easy when you have to use hooves to work the pedals.

You are correct. I had always heard they never had a home playoff game and had never went and checked. Just assumed it was true. Those assumptions……

West Iredell has been tested ,so has the Bears..West only beat East Burke by 26 after watching them play Tuscola Pisgah would have put 40 on them easy.I know you can't compares scores.Just think Mr. Pope and the Bears will win.Does West have a good fan base that will show up Friday?

Don't know anything about Pisgah but a decent defense will stymie West iredell's offense but West iredell's defense is top notch. Your best bet is to frustrate him they are very emotional team and will self implode on themselves and possibly explode on y'all just don't retaliate

I doubt there will be a much of a crowd, not much tradition at WI. West does have some studs. Probably a low scoring slugfest type of game.

Pisgah will win this one with ease then they play smash mouth long clock killing drives and physical defense. If west iredell is that undisciplined then im saying pisgah by 20 or more. And i got a feeling that tuscola will pull off an upset win next week to setting up a rematch with pisgah and tuscola

Don't underestimate West iredell's defense they are big physical and dirty. On offense they got guys with speed they just can't seem to execute very well physical will have to keep them from getting outside and using that speed. If Pisgah is a run heavy clock killing team they won't win by 20 or more. If Pisgah wins it'll be by 10 or less. Unless West implodes and start fighting with themselves and Pisgah players.

If Tuscola don't play any better than they did against East Burke they will be thru after next Friday.I hope I'm wrong would love to have another county clash.

 

[Grey-Green and Gold]

W. Iredell will be a tough out... Buckle up !!!!

Yeah pisgah is smashmouth and likes to have those long clock killing drives but they can air it out occasionally when they need to and they always have a solid defense. if west is that undisciplined and easy to implode pisgah definitely wins by 20 or more. With pisgahs style of play it will be physical and frustrating for west and if west gets mouthy and trying to fight then pisgah will play that much harder with a heavy emphasis on the physical aspects of the game yet disciplined to get in there heads even more. Pisgah knows they're identity and they are good at what they do

Looks like West iredell RB was back playing last night

Ah yes, Satan Claus driving his team of Greyhounds, delivering Cheerwine and Andy Capp hot fries to all the good boys and girls-a Maiden holiday tradition.

At least he appears clothed for @Lincolnton's sake!

If I didn’t have another game planned I be tempted to go see Stuart Crammer vs Bandys game. I believe that will be a good one. Pisgah n West Iredell game would be interesting but too far me to drive.

Cleveland County thread has entered the chat. It’s the GOAT of threads.

Lol no our thread is mostly fun and banter y'all's thread is a pissing contest

 

[BlueDevil1996!]

For West Iredell

It’s all about their physicality’s on the line. Defense they have a good one.

I’ll favor Pisgah by 7-14 but It’s a winnable game for West Iredell

The Cleveland County guys are different like that. Whether it’s talking football or playing each other, eg Burns and Shelby game…To live in their world someone has to have tough hide, but the ones I know are totally good people… AMD, you’d fit in well with them., but me, I’m probably to old and too thin skinned.

Bandys
East Lincoln
Newton-Conover
Hickory
Maiden
Pisgah
Hendo
I am trying to pick a couple upsets this week to try and catch Beamer. Should be some good games. I am interested in seeing How Bandys can handle the strength and size of Cramer. West vs Pisgah should be a classic with the upstarts vs the established discipline team. I am going out in a limb since I don’t know anything about Hendo this year.
