I think this will be a much different game than the Kings Mtn game for Reynolds. Hickory can score but their defense is nowhere close to KM.

ACR may be the high school version of that “bend but not break” defense.ACR has yet to give up a point in the playoffs. Hickory I believe has a pretty big time QB/WR combo, but I just cant see anyone score a ton on ACR D.
Well, out TB is almost full strength and will play some. We were without 4 defensive starters against Watauga and all are back now. However we lost our top DB against Kings Mtn when he broke his ankle early in the first quarter. Overall we are healthier than we’ve been. Most of the year though.How many players has ACR returned from injury since the first of the season? If they're almost full strength, give me the rockets.
I'll take the rockets to the ship. Coaching is too good. Heart is too big. ACR is a winning program.Well, out TB is almost full strength and will play some.

WOW 😮 not so sure about that!I'll take the rockets to the ship.
Hope we can keep it close! Undefeated team, on the road, we will have our hands full.Hickory by 14
Good luck to the Rockets this week.Hope we can keep it close! Undefeated team, on the road, we will have our hands full.
This is gong to be a dang good football game. Hard for me to decide. I could see a low type scoring game. 17-14 maybe.
I agree with this. I think despite ACR’s struggles last week offensively, they come out of this one scoring 20+. Give me ACR 27 Hickory 21 (or 24 depending on hickory’s kicking situation). Either way a 1 score game.Complete opposite for me..I see both scoring at least 20+
Actually Stober is a junior and his stats are he's started 19 career games with 58 tds and 9 ints. He is exceptionally accurate and gets his throws off quickly. This year in 12 games he has 37 tds with 2 ints, both coming in the same game against West Iredell and both off deflected passes. HHS is glad he's a Red Tornado.Did I see correctly the hickory qb was a junior
Who has started roughly 25 games and has 51 tds and 9 ints in his career?
Agreed! Hoping ACR and West Henderson pull out victories Friday night. What a matchup for round 4 that would be in Mills River! Would be incredible for WNC Football as a whole!This will be the best defense Hickory has seen all year. The question is whether or not ACR can put up enough points. I could easily see this being ACR vs Shelby/East Forsyth type game, 1 possession difference, with neither team getting out of the 20's.
They call as good a game as anyone.Foothills Radio is going to be doing this game on the radio
He will play, how much just depends on how he feels come game time. I assure you he isn’t 100%.Is the RB for ACR back playing at 100% healthy
I was very impressed with him the one game I saw (vs East Lincoln) he can throw a ball from any arm angle and has some serious speed on the ballActually Stober is a junior and his stats are he's started 19 career games with 58 tds and 9 ints.

Rowdy is alive and well. A fan bought him a year's supply of air horns, Dear Lord! He still raves about his Red Tornadoes and lives and dies with their success. Thank you for asking. He won't remember you, but he will be happy someone has asked about him. He will turn 78 in January.CHEREDUCK Is Rowdy still alive? We go way back. The both of you are diehard Hickory fans!
Good luck this Friday!
When I went to see Hickory they guy beside me said that the QB was a baseball guy and was going to Lenoir Rhyne for baseball. I can’t confirm but he’s good !! He’s good … watch how fast and accurate his balls are. Good luck to both teams I believe it’s going to be one of the best games of the nightAm I understanding this correctly…. The hickory qb has thrown 37 tds this year and 2 ints off of deflected passes this year?!? Damn
Thanks, Lincolnton. Hickory opened it up in the 3rd quarter and coasted to another victory. I haven't heard any stats but our QB was throwing the ball all over the field, long, short you name it. Our receivers caught the ball and took the ball to the house. So much for ACR holding their first two playoff opponents scoreless.Hickory 61 AC Reynolds 38, Big congratulations to my buddy Cheerduck who will probably stay up until midnight. Next week West Henderson will be in town. Good luck and keep it going.
