People can say what they want..for my money (and my heart) the best Highschool ball in the world is right here in Cumberland County, NC.

I love NC football but Cumberland isn't the hottest spot in the state. Realistically, only South View and Britt have played for a state title in the last 6 years and they both lost in 2004. Charlotte had Catholic, Butler, Independence, and West Charlotte in the Final Four last year alone. Independence is a different animal I know, but West Charlotte played for a state title last year and who knows how many Butler or Providence would've played for if not for Indy. Even then, I don't think Char-Meck is the best football in the state. I know you've got love for your area, I respect that. I think Cumberland has just hit a down cycle for now.

You are correct...Indy is a different type of Beast. I am an old school Mid South 4A guy. Paroli and Poss and Ledford. Nothing like old school Bob Paroli Douglas Byrd football.
One of the proudest moments I have had wasn't even for my team. Byrd played Bobby Poss and Reynolds in one of the best games I have ever seen. They beat us 7-0 when our corner slipped and the qb found the wr for the only offense for either team that night. Poss and Reynolds were invited to Disney World to start the next season so a bunch of us went down to lend our support. Texas, Dennison was the opponent. Texas 5A champs. I remember not only their fans but players laughing in our faces. All but spitting on the "dumb hayseed plowboys" that were about to learn about "real football" "Texas style" Didn't take long to Skull Crush those boys. 27-0.. good guys!!! De La Salle never woulda got to 150 if they woulda taken the "Big I" Challenge. And no true playoff?? Coach Knotts bent over backward to get a piece of DLS. As for CC football, you are right, we have spread ourselves to thin. Watch out for Britt and 71st though...Paroli has more beef than ever and by far his strongest (physically) team ever. Charlotte/Meck is a Juggernaut !!
