Football here is like nowhere else.
I grew up only a few counties away - my high school won probably three games in four years. I probably went to as many games. I didn't even attend homecoming most years - we always lost anyway.
So when I came to Cleveland County for college, I was surprised to see that people really got into it around here. I guess it's because it's a tradition that people can pass on from generation to generation. It's good to win, but even better to be closer to the people you're around. Football is one of the many common threads in the fabric of this community.
That's something you can be proud of.

It's funny to look back at the early days of football of Crest and Burns. There was NO FOOTBALL at all before the schools opened 40 years ago, except at Shelby High and Kings Mountain. The first years included losses to low-enrollment high schools and quite sparse crowds. It took years to start winning, longer to build huge fan interest
There was a time Crest yearned just to win as many as it lost.
Its wildest dreams haven't just been fulfilled; they've been surpassed by a long shot!
