Hough says hello!
Weddington been doing pretty good in the bulb Blowing dept as well. I’d be worried about reidsville lol
Those are valid points. Hoggard was in a dogfight with Laney. Hoggards QB was hurt and Laney knew it and stacked the box. The score was 15-10 in the forth qrt and Hoggard defense stepped up and put a lot of pressure on Laney and they turned it over. Hoggard took advantage and scored 28 points in the 4th. The Cleveland game was a dogfight as the score was tied at 28 heading into the forth. The defense again caused problems and turnovers and the offense converted and the Vikes scored 23 points in the 4th qrt. Hoggard has had some hurddles to overcome during the playoffs. The QB didn’t play the 1st round and was less than 60% during the next 2 games. He felt better against Cleveland and threw for 385 and 6 TD. The entire defense was sick the week heading into the Cleveland game. Most players played that game at way less than 100% and it showed but they stepped up when they needed to.
I’m a Hoggard alum..a reader and occasional poster. I left Wilmington many years ago and left NC completely for greener pastures in TX back in late 2003. Still had family and property in Wilm until around 2016 and was in town often until that point. It saddens me to say I haven’t stepped foot back in the wonderful state of NC since that time but I will be at Carter-Finley Sat night. Go Vikes!!!
For the record, I am not aware of one single backhanded comment I have ever made about the NH Kitty Cats!.
One of the biggest surprises I have seen in a long time. Made me wonder about Weddington and here they are.
Marvin Ridge is probably the biggest reason they are here. High School kids start believing what they read and take their biggest rival lightly, what happens. Now their only choice is to win it all they are going hear so much crap until next year from Marvin !
At this point of the season , I don’t think anybody is 100%
Games like that are often what flips the switch. 1995 Kannapolis beating West Charlotte.
I agree, that was not my point. Hoggard has had to win without their offensive leader in 3 playoff games and they had to avenge their only loss of the season with their whole defense under the weather. It is a different type of battle tested.
I also think, in the long run Hoggard losing their season opener to Cleveland was a good thing.
Someone said Weddington has two of the biggest high school players the world has ever seen. This an 11 men competition.
You can smash someones mouth 10 times during the season. The Championship round only requires one.
no not the biggest just big kids. Thomas Davis son plays there as well. He’s a great linebacker. They have a great qb some really really good wrs like I said I don’t have a dog in the fight but being from union county I’ll cheer for weddington.

Thanks 44, I feel the same way. A lot of really knowledgable people on these boards. It very hard to get here. Have to be very good and be fortunate. I am enjoying the ride this week. I have watched some film on Weddington and they are very good on both sides of the ball. Hoggard will have to play their best game of the year to pull off the upset.
Right! I always take it with a grain of salt and use my judgement on the eye test and how each position group will match up, styles of play, coaching, etc.
When you're talking about Texas, you're talking about an entirely animal.
No worries. Weddington is the best team Hoggard will have played this year And Weddington will be favored in this game. I do feel Hoggard can win if they can slow down Weddington run game and if the Vikes can keep the twins out of the backfield. There has been 2-3 teams that have been able to keep Weddington run game in check and I think Hoggards defense is as goods as those teams defense. I think Weddington will come out and try to run the ball. Hoggard has been able to turn teams over and throwing a lot is playing into their hands and I know that Weddington knows that. Wilharm has not run much this year because of lack of depth at the QB position but I think he will be a big part of the offense. His arm talent is there as is his smarts. This game is not too big for this Hoggard team, they are ready to prove themselves.
They have a YouTube channel that broadcasts their games. It’s insufferable but a least they have one.
Of course it’s the most intriguing to you by far, you’re a fan of Weddington LOL
