I saw less High School this season than any year in my entire life. The weather screwed up a number of weeks and other family commitments. 4 years ago I saw 32 games in one year. Only 17 this year.


2018-08-17 Jacksonville NC vs. Southwest Onslow in Jacksonville NC (out of town on a Friday)
2018 08 24 Byrnes 41 21 Northwestern

Thanks for the posting Newcatntown ....Would be very interested in all posters thoughts on the "quality" of the stadiums visited as it relates to size, conditions, experience, ease of access etc.......Hope that makes sense......

I have clients in Morehead City. Probably spent close to 200 nights at the Sheraton / Double Tree on Atlantic Beach
over the past 10 years. Great restaurants down there. I am down there probably once every other month.

Small world huh? You know that sawed off pier at the DoubleTree....it of course got that way from the 6 or 7 hurricanes to hit there in the last 3 decades....I used to surf their growing up and JUMP off of it when the waves were too big to paddle out!!! :o :lol: The pier was of course 300 yards long back then.

The football school near there is Havelock High School... that is my Alma Mater. They are currently undefeated and playing for Eastern State Title this week...again.

Charlotte Catholic beat them in Wallace Wade last year for state title!!! :cry:
