Let me be clear about one thing. I started my website 10 yrs ago to promote 🏈 & the student-athletes who play 🏈in UnioNCounty. I'm not a parent to any of them but I will defend & promote them like they were one of my own. If I'm tagged I'll always promote your accomplishments.
What a night for Weddington football. An undefeated 16-0 season, back-to-back 3AA state championships and a marriage proposal. Congratulations to assistant football coach Hayden Crooks and his fiancée Kayla!

First day of workouts in the UC. Hoping and praying for the best. Crazy to think this will be the first time many classmates/teammates will see each other in person in months.
Monroe High School's Marching Band and dancers cannot be underestimated. They bring the energy every Friday night. Also, this kid needs a contract.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the Sun Valley cheerleaders tonight/this morning. Those girls braved the elements (34 degree temps, cold rain, wind, wintry mix and did I mention the cold rain?) and continued to cheer until the final seconds of the game. Impressive.

Big day and night for the Howell family. Sam gets named as Washington’s starting QB earlier today and tonight Duke earns his first win as head coach. Congratulations to both!

I did not want this long weekend to end before congratulating Sam Mobley on his first win as head coach. One of my favorite players to cover when he played at Parkwood and now he’s leading the program. One down and many more to come. Congratulations Coach!
Wow!

I’d imagine anyone interested in writing a script on how to start a successful career as a college QB could look no further than UNC’s Sam Howell as the subject. The kid is a natural.
No doubt Union County football has tremendous talent and teams, but that foundation is set in middle school by quality coaching/teaching. Dedicated men that sacrifice much for the betterment of our county’s young men.
Driving by Sun Valley HS this morning, you might notice the new bleachers in the distance on the right side of the video. At their current state they already look safer than the old stadium seating. 🙌🏻
Congratulations again 2 Sun Valley on a terrific playoff win. 1st time to a West Regional final & first time a visitor has beaten Mt. Tabor on their home turf since October 2016.

Congratulations to the deserving players of the UC who made their all-conference teams. It was my pleasure watching your exploits under pressure and under the bright lights on Friday nights. I tip my hat to the class act student-athletes of Union County 🏈
Congratulations to Duke Howell and his Cuthbertson Cavaliers who defeated Palisades tonight 23-0 and in so doing moves to 4-0 on the season. It’s the first 4-0 start in school history.

Union County Public Schools in 9 yrs has collected 58 team state championships, 49 seconds,73 thirds & well over 100+ ind. championships. Do we think this happens w/o great coaching? Going 2B tough 2 build on that success w/o recognizing those that deserve more $.

Trying to stay positive during this time is an uphill battle w/ the constant barrage of negativism pushed by every form of media. Spiking case #'s (20-40 yr olds) does not equate to death. The death rate in the US is dropping precipitously but this data point is ignored by many.
Six years ago today the Piedmont Panthers captured a state title in baseball and I was at the right place & time to get this pic. Incredible season, team & playoff run. Most of "these kids" have begun careers & families now.

who held the line and were that county road block to the AK sweep of UC teams this season. The Pirates at home in the Boneyard, enough said.
The big guy was robbed of another catch that ended a second half drive. How does a ref miss this one?

has a big foot which is not hard to see!?!! Perhaps, he didn't have control, but I think otherwise. (so does his sideline)

I will be out this afternoon covering the middle school championship games.
8th graders will be playing for the trophy below, named 2 honor Da'Shawn Ivey & his fighting spirit & determination. Da'Shawn will be out there 2nite to present the award to the winning 8th-grade team.
Let the countdown begin! Anytime you get these two schools together~ and this time w/a conference championship on the line. Bright lights and a big stage- should be a good one!

first official day of retirement. This county & school district will miss the positive impact he has had on our student-athletes. He set the bar. Enjoy your days on the links. Well deserved. Thank you for everything.
Weddington is your 4A State Champion. Warriors vanquish the Vikings, 56-21. Weddington wins its 4th state football title in 8 seasons- its first 4A title!

Weddington's D entered the playoffs yielding only 13.9 points per game. In 4 playoff games, the Warrior D has tightened the noose holding opponents to 8 ppg. Folks, Wedd has had a number of great defensive squads. Right now, at this place in time, this current group stands alone.
Congratulations to

When Weddington's Nick Diamond crossed the goal line after his 47 yard run early in the 3rd Qtr, I remembered back to Will Shipley's long TD run (67yds) in the state championship vs Lee County in '19. Funny thing, maybe

Great to see the Spartans basking in their upset win tonight over Myers Park. After a few years of coaching purgatory, they have a good one now in Ryan Smith. One of their own. Great for the school and even better for the student athletes.
Sun Valley has lost their last two games by a total of five points. A one point road loss tonight to Cox Mill. Don’t look now, but it looks like football is making its way back in the Valley. Credit to those Spartans and Coach Smith and staff.
Wishing all Union County players from high school (playing today) and middle school (playing tomorrow) a safe & healthy season. Enjoy these days because these are the days you will long for years from now.

Morning practice with the Porter Ridge Pirates. Always great to see practice in the shadows of the famed Boneyard.

Weddington’s speed is at a different level on both sides of the ball. Wasn’t too long ago that few gave them a shot tonight. Remember this one? Volume up on this one⬇️
