interesting tid bit on Charlotte Country Day

[Pirate1 10]

Went to the NC preps site and asked about CCD. The folks there told me that they beat a South Carolina 4A team last year, Northwestern High.

 

When I looked up Northwestern on Maxpreps, I found out they had only lost two games last year, one to CCD 51-48, and the other one to the team that is currently the number 1 team in the country according to USA today Byrne (SC). They lost to Byrne 14-0.

 

I know this doesn't mean that much as far as this years game goes. Who knows how many returning players CCD has this year, but I did kind of feel like it spoke to the quality of program Bluefield is playing down there.

Well that was last year. Hopefully they have refs that do not have there heads up there A$$$ like the ones on Shott field Friday night...

I admit, I'm a little concerned about this game...BUT...I also think it's a good test. One way to get better is to aim high, and play tough teams (if they do indeed wind up being tough). Even if we lose, perhaps it's a great learning experience (assuming nobody gets hurt).

 

I'd much rather play CCD than some WV single A team.

 

(edit) Just found something interesting...that is an expensive school. They graduated 116 kids last year, and tuition is $19,500. Yikes.

They are a private school aren't they, and they have a way of putting more talent on the fields than public schools. They are expected to be better than '07 from what I read. Princeton 1st though, in my opinion they're gonna be a formidable challenge.
