Talking Preps NC: new state rankings, games of the week and a look ahead to Week 4
Week 4 of Talking Preps NC is live Tuesday (9.6.22) at 8 p.m. On tap:
▪ In “Rapid Fire,” the guys debate whether or not there’s one “biggest rivalry in North Carolina,” or does every area have one; also we discuss 3-0 Independence, Ardrey Kell’s defense, whether Shelby can come back from 0-3 -- and has Gary really given up on his Cowboys?
During the segment, Independence coach DJ McFadden will stop by to discuss his team.
▪ Grice has his “Grices Gems” for Week 3, the N.C. players of the week: Ny’Tavious Huskey, Crest; Whitt Newbauer, Cardinal Gibbons; Caden Morton, New Hanover; Will Rhodes, Burlington Williams; and Providence’s Luke Bailey.
▪ Chambers senior quarterback Anshon “Bubba” Camp stops by to talk Friday’s big game in Harrisburg, committing to Old Dominion and he’ll take on Sam on “The Game Show.”
▪ Chelsea sits down with Apex High’s Ian Bright, and Alex asks if schools should start thinking about playing in front of empty stadiums after more fan violence breaks out.
▪ We’ve got new N.C. statewide rankings and we’re adding private schools to the mix. Alex also has his 10 games to watch in the state Friday.
▪ Providence High coach Wes Ward drops by to talk about Bailey’s 9 TD performance, plus Hickory Ridge’s Jupiter Wilson and Chambers’ Brandon Wiggins talk about the NC Game of The Week Friday: Chambers at Hickory Ridge.
▪ Grice and Gary introduce four new Fresh Faces: Porter Ridge’s Jason Hertz, Palisades’ Jarek Patulski, North Meck’s Elijah Sellars and Wake Forest’s Zane Williams.
▪ Finally, on ‘Coach vs. Coach,” Sam and Chris and Grice debate whether having more all-star games in December is a good thing, are “mill town” football powers a thing of the past, and is Luke Bailey’s peformance one of the best in state history -- in any sport.
