East Coast Invitational Team Camp

09/08/2026

Tomorrow on the Down East Prep Report. �

Croatan is 3-0, coming off the best season in program history, and they lost a bunch of guys off that team — but apparently nobody told them they were supposed to slow down.

Head coach Andrew Gurley, senior QB/K Kannon McBride, and senior DB Carter Boal join us LIVE in THE CAVE tomorrow, Tuesday, September 8, at 12 PM — right here on the Man Cave Media page and YouTube channel.

Three weeks in. Four teams still haven't lost.

Swansboro: 3-0
Croatan: 3-0
East Duplin: 3-0
Northside: 2-0

And the interesting part?

They've all gotten there in different ways.

Swansboro just knocked off White Oak.

Croatan keeps piling up yards and points.

East Duplin has already won a close one, survived a shootout, and handled Richlands.

And Northside followed a 14-6 defensive win over Jacksonville by throwing for 280 yards and four touchdowns against Topsail.

So after three weeks...what do we really know?

Dave, Bob, and Preston get into all of it on the new Monday Night Film Room.

Plus some bulletin board material.

And, apparently, a whole lot of rushing yards.

🏈 TONIGHT AT 7 — MONDAY NIGHT FILM ROOM

Two undefeated teams. Two teams that want to run the football. One Duplin County showdown.

James Kenan (2-0) at East Duplin (3-0) is this week’s Marquee Matchup of the Week, presented by Davis Heating & AC — and we’re breaking it down tonight.

James Kenan has outscored its first two opponents 88-13 and just piled up 413 rushing yards against Southern Nash.

East Duplin is 3-0, and Noah LeBlanc is coming off another three-touchdown performance.

So what happens when these two meet in Beulaville on Friday?

And that’s just part of tonight’s show. Dave Miller, Bob Warlick, and Preston Kelly will rewind Week 3, break down what we learned across the area, and reload for every Week 4 matchup.

📍 LIVE from Bubba’s 33 — Western Boulevard, Jacksonville
⏰ 7 PM TONIGHT

Come out, grab some dinner, and talk high school football with us.

College.

Military service.

A trade.

The workforce.

Maybe even starting your own business.

There's more than one good answer to the question:

“What are you doing after graduation?”

Dr. Chris Barnes talks about helping students understand all of the doors in front of them and what he describes as enrollment, enlistment, employment, and sometimes entrepreneurship.

I really liked this part of our conversation.

Because success doesn't have to look the same for every kid.
