Everyone that I talked to last night post game in Mills River said they were for sure traveling to Hickory on Friday. I would say that there wont be many that stay home since this game represents the deepest run West Henderson has made in its history in football. 🤩This game is going to be exciting one to watch. If nothing comes up I’m tempting to make the trip to see this game. Anyone know if West Henderson will be bringing a big crowd. I could see this game packed out since other teams are eliminated.
The NCHSAA required last week's game to begin at 7:00 PM. I don't see this week's game being any different.I would also say with it being Thanksgiving Holiday coming up more people will be off of work. This will help with more attendance. What time does the gate open at Hickory
ThanksThe NCHSAA required last week's game to begin at 7:00 PM. I don't see this week's game being any different.
Did they give a reason?The NCHSAA required last week's game to begin at 7:00 PM. I don't see this week's game being any different.
Cheer, I was at the Watauga game Friday night and it started at 7:30.The NCHSAA required last week's game to begin at 7:00 PM. I don't see this week's game being any different.
I think each conference sets their own start time. Mountain 7 games were 7:30pm start. MAC 4A/3A we’re 7 pm start.The NCHSAA required last week's game to begin at 7:00 PM. I don't see this week's game being any different.
I can only speak to Shelby and KM because I have watched them play, and to be fair if ACR and Shelby played now it would be a different outcome. They played in week 2 and Shelby looks like a completely different team now than they were at that time. And KM offense was bad this season when they played decent teams that had similar athletes. Especially towards the end, they became totally one dimensional.He’s pretty incredible. I do think it was a bit of a perfect storm that Reynolds ran into. Just one of those nights where everything was clicking for them and every pass was right on the money. I’m not sure another game between those 2 would end up that way but it did on Friday.
I think about Reynolds holding 8-4 west Forsyth to 8 points in a 1 point loss.
Beating 10-3 (and still playing) Shelby
Giving 10-2 east Forsyth all they want in a 6 point loss
Losing to 12-1 watauga by 1.
Holding kings mountain who was arguably a top 4 team in 3A to 0 points
And then to go to hickory and get 61 scored on them in a blowout was shocking. Not only 61, but 61 in a second half where hickory was chewing clock up 3-4 touchdowns.
However this is high school football and who knows how long you can ride the wave or if you fall off a cliff
I disagree... The Western Foothills was a pretty strong league... JUST SAYING!!!West Henderson opponents are a combined 65–78
Hickory’s opponents are a combined 69-77
So pretty similar
Both come from a pretty terrible conference and both have played pretty much nobody before last week.
West Henderson an impressive win over oak grove and hickory with a very impressive win over Reynolds.

I agree completely. After watching them vs Reynolds, if they continue to play at that level-I will take Hickory all the way. It’s a special team with talent on both sides, coaches that know how to adjust and a very accurate quarterback. To be fair, I haven’t seen West play this year but Hickory dominated a very good but slightly injured Reynolds. Good luck to both! Well deserved.He’s pretty incredible.

I figure there would good home side crowd for that game. I’m thinking this week will big turn out to be good crowd especially after Thanksgiving day.I watched the video clip and it is impressive. What is not impressive is the middle school size crowd on the Hickory home side. That looked pathetic, especially for a 3rd round game. You would think a community that size with an excellent team would have some support. Maybe everyone will hop on the bandwagon tomorrow night and show up.
I watched the video clip too and was wondering do the visitors sit on the press box side of the field? I’m still not sure if I’m going to make it or just listen on the radio but I was wondering.I watched the video clip and it is impressive.

Yes … I didn’t care for it either because the PA was so loud when I went and watched them play East LincolnI watched the video clip too and was wondering do the visitors sit on the press box side of the field?

The crowd was slimmed down due to Hickory having it's Christmas Parade and tree lighting ceremony uptown at 6 pm last Friday night. Our crowd has always been somewhat slim, but the crowd this week should be larger with many family members coming in for the Holiday. The visitors do sit on the Press Box side of Frank Barger Stadium. The rumor as to why was because HHS played at College Field on the campus of Lenoir Rhyne for years for their home games. For 18 years Coach Barger had the chains on his side of the field at LR due to the press box remaining on the visitors side after the 1964 stadium remodel. He got used to it and requested the same set up at the current school on campus stadium. Many new visiting fans walk to the HHS side pregame to find out they are on the wrong side. The PA system needs to be upgraded and/or adjusted.Yes … I didn’t care for it either because the PA was so loud when I went and watched them play East Lincoln

Does the press box at Hickory still have a rest room inside?The crowd was slimmed down due to Hickory having it's Christmas Parade and tree lighting ceremony uptown at 6 pm last Friday night.
