Talking Preps: another Mr. Football shakeup; should fans be allowed to rush the field?

Here’s the latest Talking Preps

On tap:

In the Rundown, we talk the differences between No. 1 Hough and No. 2 Chambers and discuss what might happen in a rematch. Plus NC State-Clemson discussion, is Wake Forest the best team in the ACC and would the Patriots be 1-2 with Cam Newton at QB.

Chris Hughes is back with his popular ‘60 Seconds With Chris’ video and Olympic High wide receiver Albert Fleming sits down for a ‘Chelsea’s World’ interview.

Fresh off his game-winning kick against Cardinal Gibbons Friday, Myers Park’s Win Byerley is on ‘The Game Show’ to start a new streak for Sam.

In ‘The Great Debate,’ the crew considers if CMS should do more to retain talent and if it should remake its conferences to be more equitable. They also discuss fans rushing the court and fields after big wins.

We’ve got another Mr. Football shakeup in our watchlist for the state’s top player. Chris and Grice drop new statewide rankings and we break down all of the region’s top games, including South Point at Crest.
