When the 2020 high school football season was pushed back due to the spring of 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic, many of the top football recruits in North Carolina opted to enroll early at their respective colleges.
It was a personal decision, and certainly the right one for a lot of players.
Glenn head coach Antwon Stevenson publicly told three of the Division I recruits on his team to Go be great in a tweet in January.
But while players like Will Shipley enrolled at Clemson and future teammates of Edmonds , like Drake Maye and Keeshawn Silver enrolled early at UNC, Edmonds decided to forego a spring in a college weight room and stay home to play for Havelock.

The amount of football programs in North Carolina that are consistently good from year-to-year means that we get a good amount of continuity in the later rounds of the playoffs.
With the amount of time between the fall 2019 season and the spring 2021 season combined with the amount of the state s top seniors enrolling in college early, it was fair to wonder if this season would be an opportunity for increased parity and some new teams at the top.
That has happened to a degree, but many of the same teams still find themselves deep into the postseason.

ELON, N.C. Eastern Alamance was able to bounce back from its first loss in 2021 and the victory was highlighted by a 14-strikeout game by junior pitcher Kenna Raye Dark.
The Eagles blanked rival Western Alamance, 5-0, on Tuesday night at Western Alamance Middle School. Eastern Alamance was No. 1 in the midseason HighSchoolOT Top 25 East softball poll, while Western Alamance was a couple spots behind at No. 5.
Eastern Alamance would ultimately plate two runs on a single into right field by nine-hole hitter Reagan Hartley (senior). There were some mishaps made in the field by Western Alamance that put the Eagles ahead 2-0 in the top of the fourth inning, and gave Hartley the chance to advance to second base.
