Imma have to retract my statement….we did lose a game in ‘78 even though we won the state championship…same goes for ‘71 as well.
Never had a full undefeated season
I am honestly not sure, but I do believe he graduated.
When you have a history of underperforming while your neighbor has a history of high performance AKA hickory it's hard to keep kids with talent from running to that school. Also demographics play a big part. St Stephen's has a higher population of kids that probably don't play football or brought up with it. But a big part of it is if you're a star football player and your 10 minutes away from a good football school compared to the school that's a perennial underperformer or are you going to do as that kid ??
I mean I get it but I see the kids at that school that are in the stands and all and They seem to have "Some" Talent not playing that are in the halls
Check the roster at HHS and name any player from Springs Rd the last number of years. HHS has lost kids to St. to wrestle and play baseball as well. Those kids like to show out in middle school and whine in high school. They can't stand the rigors of practice and the agony of defeat. Lacrosse has taken many good football players as well.
I'm not saying the R word lol. Just saying choices. And like I said demographics make a big difference.
If anything y'all got talent wasting on y'all roster this year
I met him briefly at a clinic. Big fella from Texas...I'm betting he adds some hard-nosed Texas swag to that team...they won't be 0-10 this year.
Lol u caught what creek had the other year 🤣🤣. Does it come with a fever 🌡️ 😷 lol they might win a game or 2 this year
FCA at Lenoir Rhyne next week. I believe there will be several CVAC teams in attendance.
Think you're right 2022. I kinda feel for parents, though, that want so badly for their children to do well and it doesn't turn out for them, but I suppose it proves your point that it's sometimes best to stay where you are.
That's the wasted talent lol. JV QB Maddox is very talented and a rising JR and will sit behind Stover this year as the returning QB. Among other players. But I was told Maddox won't leave hickory 🤷🏼♂️.
Thanks AMD, but I was thinking like there was another backup QB at Hickory last year.
Lincolnton last year's back up QB was Turner Wood. He lost the starting job when Stober moved up from JV 2 years ago. As a sophomore Wood establsihed new HHS records for season yardage and season TD passes. When he learned he wouldn't be the starting QB his junior year he worked and became a quality LB for his final two seasons and was one of the main leaders on the state championship team. Maddox Mcree is a rising junior that will back up Brady Stober this year as well as handle the punting duties. He is a quality 3 sport athlete and will do just fine with his opportunities at HHS.
Lol that makes me sad 🤣. Actually was enjoyable watching him play hide and seek behind that line
Looking back…I’ll have to say that Central Davidson had a great win over Eastern Guilford in the 1st round last year. 20 seed over a 13. Impressive!
As it gets closer, we can discuss eating places, BBQ of course.
There’s more to this than meets the eye. When he flipped the car it scrambled his brains. He was babbling and saying stuff completely out of character for his usual self, such as: “The wise man uses wisdom to understand reality and then applies It to daily life”; “He must have the courage of his own convictions”; “We mustn’t allow desires to control our lives”; “The just person has a healthy soul”.
AMD, Coach Farley is a Lincolnton man. Do not see this happening.
He sure doesn't mind hitting y'all's neighbors. That NIL money must be good over there for them kids 🤷🏼♂️
Hmm, AMD, Southlake Christian was winless last season. I don't know Coach Farley personally, I'm a lot older than he is, but everyone seems to like him. He sure could play ball.
Still doesn't dispute that independents voted to allow NIL payments to athletes and all of sudden they are grabbing up good players, including Salisbury RB going to Charlotte Christian. The leading RB in whole state of NC. Unfortunately we are witnessing the infant stages of the collapse of high school sports. The last place I could argue the pureness of sports, where kids played for the love of the game and not money.
You may be right but if that's so, couldn't it leave public high schools with those who would play for the love of the game?
I wish you were correct my friend. But when you throw parents and hangers on into the mix, you might not have enough purists left to field a team . The mantra these days is “it’s all about me”.
Money is like cancer, once it infects a league it spreads till it kills everything it touches
