Talking Preps NC 01.30: New Chambers High football coach Brandon Wiggins
New Chambers High football coach Brandon Wiggins stops by Talking Preps Monday night at 8 (replays after) to discuss the challenge of taking over the two-time state champions.
Also on tap:
▪ South Mecklenburg girls basketball coach Cristie Mitchell and Sabres star Senali Moss discuss how the Sabres are of to one of the best starts in school history. Moss is the daughter of NFL Hall of Famer Randy Moss, and she’ll take on Randall on ‘The Game Show.’
▪ In the Rundown, the crew discusses whether the Carolina Panthers can make a jump in the suddenly Tom Brady and Sean Payton-less NFC South; whether or not nationally ranked New Hanover HIgh, from Wilmington, is a state title threat; a big game between Athens Drive and Cardinal Gibbons this week; and tips for players facing lots of games in a week due to snow postponements.
▪ Chelsea sits down with Cleveland High big man Dylan Wiggins, who thinks his team -- proving that Cleveland is not just a football school -- is ready to make a big playoff run.
▪ The Ms. Basketball watchlist for state player of the year is cut to 12 with new names added, and the Mr. Basketball list is cut.
▪ We introduce the latest “All-NC” high school rankings of the state’s best boys and girls basketball teams, regardless of class. And there are major changes.
▪ Finally, in ‘Coach vs. Coach,’ Gary and Randall debate whether the Hornets should trade for Ben Simmons, is the regular-season or conference tournament champion the real champ, and whether or not UNC will still be unbeaten at home after Saturday’s Duke game.
