Step One For A Championship

I would be very tempted if I were B W Holt to start the eleven JVs brought up to be with the varsity this Friday.

Did our offense show the state of North Carolina what we can do when healthy or what?

I know it won't happen and it shouldn't happen but I hope by half time the game is secure and players can rest for there are 4 games left and each step gets tougher and tougher.

We have already seen what Marquavis Alston means when he plays over the games he sat out with injury.

I would doubt whether Hiawatha Bunn plays Friday with his leg injury from this past Friday. I think we can afford having him sit out this week to be ready for the second round. Our hope is he can play then.

The NFL is debating adding two regular season games and dropping two preseason games. That's too many games for the pros with their high dollar players.

What do you think 16 for high school kids is? Way too many.

Whatever happened to the rule you had to win four games to make the playoffs? A 4-7 team has no business being allowed to play much less a 2-9 Team like Jacksonville..

I hate to say this but I hope we score 75 just to prove a point. I know that will not happen because B W has cleared the bench once he has gotten a 28 point lead in the first half of most games.

Any time a team gets to 60 points in a game it pretty much tells you that the other side was out manned and threw in the towel. Southern Wayne comes to mind.

I think if we want to stay with a 32 team bracket lets drop the AA portion of the playoffs and use the same criteria for seeding that we use now.

That would eliminate the Northern Nash debacle of 2001 where a co-champion stayed home.

If we went back to just one division in 3-A here what the 3-A eastern playoff could look like this year.

Washington 7-3 @West Craven 10-0
Sothwest Edgecombe 8-2 @Kinston 9-1
Oxford Webb 8-2 @ Rocky Mount 10-0
Eastern Alamance 9-1@ Hertford County 9-1
Asheboro 8-2 @ Dudley 10-0
Triton 8-2 @ Ragsdale 10-0
NE Guilford 5-5 @ Western Harnett 10-0
West Brunswick6-4 @Northern Vance 6-4

Now doesn't that look more like what a playoff should be? If all the higher seeds win their round one game. These will be the second round matchups.

The playoffs should be a reward for showing grit when the chips were down you didn't give up.

The playoffs should not be who do we have left to fill out the brackets.
