The Wolves are so young!
The improvement from the East Lincoln game I watched …to the Maiden game I watched…was incredible!
Got to be one of the most improved teams in NC. I mean that!
Thank you, my friend. Today, I drove up to Hickory. It was cold out, the leaves were falling and the smell of autumn was in the air. I thought about those times when we were expecting our team to make a deep run in the playoffs. It's such a special kind of excitement. Only a staunch high school football fan understands this. Unfortunately, it's so fleeting, but the memories aren't.
I wouldn't be upset. If the Wolves coulda, woulda taken 2 or 3 of those close games from their county rivals they wouldn't be in the situation playing the big dogs and a more evenly matchup for round one.
With 2 more wins, Lincolnton would probably be playing a home game this friday
Amen, 321, how important a kicking game and special teams are. Our punter can be impressive but he does the rugby style of punting and runs it down to the last second.
I remember one LHS kicker who was pretty accurate at kicking it to anyone he wanted to and high forcing a short return. Another LHS kicker whose leg was so power that he would mess with the opponents before games sending ball after ball into their area of the field during warms up. The best might have been a punter named Charles Briggs. He might punt it or he might just run for a first down no matter the given distance. They didn't punt much. Finally, the Lincolnton return walls were a devestating thing of beauty.
Lincolnton's cousin was a Shrine Bowl tackle that played at Hickory High and led the 1966 team to an undefeated WNCHSAS Championship. His punts were rare as the team was very dominant, but his pregame warmups were awesome. He punted the ball so high it went above the lights at the old College Field at Lenoir Rhyne. He went on to play at N.C. State. Special teams play is very critical for success at the high school level.

Safe travels and best wishes to the folks from Newton Conover and their team as they make the trip to Pilot Mtn tomorrow. Hopefully it'll be a safe and competitive game. I hope you enjoy your trip to our town and enjoy our facilities. I appreciate the hard work from both teams and coaching staffs and also the sacrifices made by all the families represented. You will see some of the finest young men we have to represent our communities. I'm proud of them and their achievements on and off the field. Good luck to all the teams who will be playing tomorrow night.

Maiden punt was high. Punter was able to grab it at the high point but was tackled. MTP ball in Maiden 46
Maiden QB isn't playing second half. Took a shot to the shoulder before the half. Came out and seemed to throw it fine for halftime warm-ups but coaches ain't taking a chance. Running a two HB shotgun.
MTP receives kickoff. Ends up punting. Maiden drives and scored. XP no good. 30-0 Maiden. 5:26 3rd.

Monroe 57 Lincolnton 13 final.....Tough night for the Wolves......If any of the team or staff reads this, thank you for the season, for your efforts and all you do for the people of Lincolnton. To at least one fan and I know there are more, you'll always be remembered as our heroes. See you next year. Go Wolves.
