Its about that time guys, so lets get it started!


another chapter will soon unfold in this annual rivalry. Last year was a big moment for mooresville, winning an exciting 21-14 come from behind game. Not just because it ended "the streak", but because it ended our losing streak vs west. mooresville looks to.be a young, real young, but talented team this year. Im not too sure about west this year...other than they have line size. Can mooresville get a win in falcon territory (been a long time)? Can west rowan get revenge for last year? what are youre thoughts on this one? Get there early folks...this will be a good one

Mooresville should beat West Rowan. 21 to 14, Moorseville.

Looks like last years score. It could happen. It could be reversed, they do play at West this year.
Both of these teams will be pretty green for this early season match up. Although both teams are well coached, IMO the early season match up favored Mooresville last year. All teams improve as the season moves to the playoffs but the rate at which they improve varies. If they had met later in the season last year, the out come would have been much different. Just look at the offensive power house common opponent they had. West had a very green D when they faced the Blue Devils last year but that was not the case when they faced Burns. Much of that Falcon defense returns this year.
Will the young Blue Devil offense be able to move the ball against the Falcon D?
West Rowan won't be shining on offense either in that they will be breaking in a new QB. Their running game should be strong enough to put some points on the board though.
The Falcons will prevail this time.
West Rowan 20
Mooresville 7

Hahaha you are right would have turned out much different. Mooresville by 17 maybe? hahaha Only kidding.

I tend to lean with Mooresville in this one. I'm having faith in that offense they are going to be running this season. Defensively I think is going to be the big question in that first game with West. We will see how it plays out, but at this point.. I think it's another one score win for the devils. I'm thinking 24-17 or 28-21.

Either way, it will be a great game and I'm excited to see WR and get the season started!

Honestly, I truly don't know what to expect. West is breaking in a new QB, but our running game is going to be solid and defense as usual should be stout. Last year we struggled in the secondary with some inexperience, but returning starters like Zeke Blackwood, Harvey Landy and Najee Tucker should be a big boost.

Last year's game was definitely no fluke, but it was a perfect storm for Mooresville.

If West, and a big if, gets consistent QB play, then West could make another run at a state title. But that of course is a big if. Not quite ready to make a prediction with this game. I'll wait until game week next week to do that.

I know this season Mooresville offensively should be ok. They have a stud at RB with Manny.. and Joe got some good experience at QB playing in the semi-final game against PR... and almost pulling off that victory. Then thrown in a good receiving corps with Dre and Co. Offensive line leaves me wondering a little, but there is some good size there.

Defense remains to be seen. A lack of good size may become an issue.

Cannot wait until August 17th to welcome Mooresville to Mt. Ulla. (:

As always, it will be a fun trip. Heard the officials are coming from Raleigh

Only 168 hrs and 32 minutes till Kick Off!

Can't wait to watch this game....should be a good one.Everyone expecting the Falcons to fall off but not I. With the offensive line and the potentially dominating defense and not to mention Des Jackson running the rock, the Falcons will be good. You've got to respect Scott Youngs program. No disrespect to Mooresville, I'll take WR 24-14. Defense scores at least one td in this one for the Falcons. Looking forward to song this one in person.

I hope Mr. Jackson has matured during his time off, and he is not the only weapon the Falcons have in the backfield. Don't forget Daisean Reddick.

IVseller, check your inbox. Daisean is a player and will be fine.

I heard Jackson & Reddick want play the 1st two games of the season, does anyone know if that's true or False info?

Nooooo.....That was their QB and RB's numbers last year.

Reddick will not play the first 2 games. Jackson is questionable, but could if needed.

Who will be the running back if they don't play will it be M. Drummer?

Well no wonder we weren't following you - that was last year and I'm pretty certain #10 was a senior. I remember him our D kept overshooting their tackles on him.

Any of the Falcon faithful know when and where I can pick up my reserved seats? I got a call about a month ago to confirm that I was keeping them and she said she would call back to let me know when they were available but I haven't heard anything yet.

From the booster club:

The last day to pick up passes and tickets BEFORE the first game will be Tuesday, August 14 from 5-8pm. Otherwise, you will need to arrive early for the first Varsity home game on Friday, August 18th. Tickets will be available for pickup beginning at 6:00pm that evening beside the main concession stand.

The QB (#10) was a senior last year. Along with most of Mooresville team. Although I don't take too much out of that considering that any Hal Capps coached team is highly dangerous.

@winsel... Our offense has the potential to be more potent.this year... But were real young (I think were starting like 9 sophomores


But this might be the first time ive gone into this game no knowing what to expect from either team. If I was to pick a team to win, id pick west because of your lines and experience... But I wouldnt bet money on that.

That O-line for Mooresville will need to shape up before Friday. Big time. Any West faithful coming out for the JV game?

That would be my opinion on the game also if I would give a slight and I mean a slight edge to West based on their line play but I have learned over the years that teams that are young can be more dangerous than experienced teams because you don't know what you are going to get till the lights come on and the whistle blows.

Drummer will run if Jackson does not go. We have other running backs also who can carry the pig pretty good also. The new kid Patterson can scoot with it also.
We should be ok in the backup department.

Yeah, I'll be up there. My daughter cheers JV.

It's game week and the general consensus is that we don't have a consensus of how this game is going to turn out. Lots of question marks with both teams. West seems to have the upper hand on the lines, but Mooresville has the upper hand on offense.

If I had to give an uneducated guess right now, I'd say maybe West in a close one being at home. But, Mooresville could easily win this game.

Spread is probably no more than 1.5 if I had to guess. Expect a large crowd, great atmosphere, should be fun.

Most folks that attended the game last season know what the outcome was. Well, here we are a year later and about to do it all again. I can tell you that the kids who were on the sideline last season at Mooresville, have not forgotten what that felt like and have been tasting it for a year. They want to get rid of that taste on Friday night and have been working real hard to get rid of it. No matter what happens at the end of the 4th on Friday night, these kids will have given 110% and left it all on the field. They want this win, they know what's in front of them, they are ready for it.
I hope the fans are ready for it on Friday night in Mt. Ulla cause it is going to be a real good one at Falcon stadium and if you don't attend.................You will have missed a great game!

The 2012 Season begins.............................
