Talking Preps 08.16: Season 6 debuts with Mr. Football Watch List, NC rankings, previews
Season 6 of Talking Preps NC debuts Tuesday night at 8 p.m. (with replays to follow).
On tap:
▪ Chris talks about what high school football so special and we discuss new schools, like Charlotte’s Palisades High, and state powers, like East Forsyth, Chambers and Cardinal Gibbons.
▪ Chelsea interviews Providence High football star Luke Bailey.
▪ Alex drops by with the debut of our preseason NC statewide rankings and Grice breaks down the 16 preseason candidates for Mr. Football, the NC player of the year.
▪ In our new ‘Rapid Fire’ segment, we discuss whether SC schools have a preseason advantage over their NC counterparts; how things are looking at Myers Park; and we break down Providence Day -- hype or the real deal?
▪ We break down 10 statewide games of the week and Grice locks in on Saturday’s big Chambers-Gibbons rematch. And in Coach vs. Coach, Grice and Chris debate NIL, the East-West all-star game moving to December and whether or not NC football has caught up to Charlotte football.
