Do you mean apex? Or holly springs? This ai written article is laughably inaccurate. Selma doesn’t even know how to hire a town manager.
Are you kidding? Selma? They only compete for the drug trade.
Came here to see demonstrations of JoCo Pride….. was not disappointed.
I’m not sure Selma will do well enough to finish last.
Strongest Town? They will win hands down if they are competing for drug use and drug sales. This is a sad town.
