Including some tips for content creators, who are -- from what I can tell -- not understanding what all the fuss is about

@BRocheSports I started adding them up after my 3rd year out of college when I had far fewer schools to add up lol

To pull a @JMBpreps …I’m at Watauga in Boone…I’d have to think of how many high schools I’ve been to but it’d take awhile haha

One day I'll have to see if I can't compile some HighSchoolOT Game of the Week records

Got a feeling that Southern Durham's 57 yards allowed vs Hillside last night might be the record for fewest surrendered by a defense.

No senior wants to graduate having lost to a rival all four years.

Even though Damien Hayes hasn't been at Southern Durham until this season, he delivered under the bright lights of Durham County Stadium on behalf of other Spartans.

With 150 rushing yards and two touchdowns, Hayes spearheaded Southern Durham's 25-0 romp over Hillside to win the Tobacco Road Conference title (and the HighSchoolOT Game of the Week).

Hillside was held to just 57 yards for the contest thanks to a Spartans defense led by Ja'Don Lillie, who was the Vector Security Defensive Player of the Game.

The third time and the third round are still the charm for undefeated West Johnston.

The Wildcats, the 1-seed in the East are moving on in the NCHSAA 6A girls volleyball playoffs with a 3-0 win over conference foe Lee County, the 8-seed.

West Johnston, now 27-0, will host East Chapel Hill on Saturday in the fourth round.
