The Cherryville Ironmen Shutout the Elkin Buckin’ Elks 63-0 to Open the NCHSAA 2A Football Playoffs

Cherryville, NC (WNN) - The Cherryville Ironmen set one school record and tied another as they shut out the Buckin’ Elks in the first round of the NCHSAA 2A State playoffs on November 6, 2026. The 2026 Ironmen are the first team in school history to win playoff games in back-to-back seasons. Last season they went 1-1 in the playoffs. Cherryville tied a school record for most wins in a season at 7, which has happened only five other times. In 1934 Cherryville finished 7-0-3, 1935 7-1, 1953 7-3, 1977 7-3 and 2018 7-5. The 63 points fell just 5 shy of tying the record for most points scored, set against North Stokes on 8-22-25 with a score of 68-8. The 63-point differential is probably a record but has not yet been verified. Speaking of records, the Cherryville New Year’s Shooters probably set a record tonight for most black powder used in a game. They fire their muskets after each Ironmen score, and there were plenty of those tonight as blue-grey smoke floated over the field for most of the game. As the smoke dissipates, the 7-4 Ironmen will now travel to Sparta, NC, to face the Trojans of Alleghany High School on November 13.

Elkin Buckin' Elks Versus Cherryville Ironmen NCHSAA 2A Football Playoff Preview

Cherryville, NC (WNN) - Excitement is building as the Cherryville Ironmen prepare for their first-round NCHSAA 2A playoff game Friday, November 6, 2006, when they host the Buckin' Elks of Elkin High School. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 pm at Rudisill Stadium in Cherryville, NC. There are many sports writers and coaches across the state who believe this Ironmen team can make a deep postseason run. Although the ultimate goal is to be playing on championship weekend, December 10-12, Coach Patrick Bowman has kept his team focused on one game, one week at a time all season. He and his staff have done a great job of keeping the players focused on each game and resisting the temptation to look beyond easier teams. In several post-game interviews with Wise News Network, Coach Bowman has stated that he always chooses his guys. The team has bought into this philosophy as Bowman has built a culture of winning in just three seasons. The coaching staff's confidence in the players has helped them build confidence in themselves. It will take more than just confidence to keep playing until December. Fortunately, Cherryville is blessed with many playmakers at skill positions, giving them an opportunity as long as they execute their game plan each week.
