Good point but that was 2 years ago. Different animal now my friend. But anything is possible. But that possibility isn't one.

The reason for the spread in my prediction is that Statesville lacks self-discipline and the pressure in this game will be much higher. It could, very well, be a close game, but I do think that Hickory has the advantage and I also think that Coach Glass will have the guys prepared and playing at a higher level for the playoffs. No disrespect to Statesville, they do have size and athletic ability, but they do tend to implode when met with difficulties.

We honored that FH team at halftime of our last regular season home game this year. Didn't Whiteville win it the next season? We played for the 3A title that following year but lost.

Yeah I mention Hickory and I always give credit where it’s due. I agree they whooped their butts I’d never deny that. Whipped NL and Statesville. That 2nd matchup, Statesville didn’t look like they were playing like they didn’t care, they gave it their all from what I could see and they were just outplayed. All I’m saying is the fumbles is what made the difference between a defeat and a slaughter.

I have taken all 444 eggs and juggled them. I did it the most equitable way possible. But I'm just one man and they don't care my opinion. I don't care that the switch was made...I care they didn't give an educated answer as to why it was made and what benefit (or lack thereof) there was in making it.

As of today. I finished making conferences for all 444 schools. Probably won't be near what the NCHSAA presents to the realignment committee...but it's done and it will be sent to the representative in our area for review/consideration. Maybe they'll trash it, maybe they'll compare it to what the NCHSAA gives them. Who knows.

You keep mentioning Hickory. HHS whooped their butts. If you stop their FB they will not beat you.

My 2 cents based on you guys and my observation of how they played against Statesville (was there) and watched them play Hickory on YouTube.

That Triple O confuses even me like uhh who has the ball then I see a bunch of guys bunched up here and there then I see Wingate run it in all of a sudden. It’s flashy and Bazzel has a well oiled machine in NL with QB and 2 backs with a decent backup behind Wingate and Agee. The fumbles…. well they get about 5 against Hickory that could explain all the points Hickory put up. Watched Statesville n Hickory 2nd round on YouTube and Statesville had maybe 1 fumble and that could explain why they didn’t put on as many on Statesville like they did against NL but they still layed a whoop down on em’

NL when they held on to the ball could move on Hickory. Wingate pulled an 80 yarder on em. Fumbles against a team like Hickory, very costly. Fumble free against Statesville and good results happened. Statesville got em on 2 good offensive plays but they tightened up. When you run as much as you do and do this move and that move to get that extra yard sometimes the ball comes out.

NL plays Fumble free ball and defense puts pressure on Ashbrook this COULD be a one score low scoring affair victory for North. But like I said, they’ve NEVER reached 4th round so I’m sure that puts pressure on everyone and jumps the jitters up. Overall this should be a slightly higher rated game than Hickory Crest with all that’s on the line but that’s just me. Looking forward to this on.

They’ll be ready. We’d never doubt you or them on that. Crest and Hickory have met some in the past maybe not a lot. Think same conf at one time. Not sure what the series is between the two but I’d bet Crest has it by a few. When Crest was part of the NW4A they were only beat twice by a conf opponent and both times it was Freedom. Could be wrong or alittle off on that but I do know Freedok took em in 98 .

2A championship 1984 @ Forest Hills! I remember it well. Cold is an understatement. Just before game time helicopter from tv station landed and really spiked the wind chill. Long cold drive back to Whiteville after a 14-6 defeat.
