Do you really want to move up here? I guess being neighbors and all I could finally get tickets to the WH Easter Egg Roll.
CVAC 2024 - Week 11 🏆🏆
- Thread starter flyrod5518
- Start date
Lol not really but I'll make due I'll just fly in every Friday night on marine one at 50 yard line 🤣
Flyrod, had designated all CVAC matchups as Games of the week. Here are my picks:
Bandys at Bunker Hill: If we could get by West Lincoln and if the Trojans could beat the Bears we would be conference champs, and It would assure us of at least a home game in the playoffs. Taking the conference and a home playoff game are things we haven't experienced in eight years. How nice that would be ! In their last two outings BH was soundly beaten by Maiden and taken to the wire by Newton-Conover. I'm thinking they are due for a big win and I'm worried this week will be it, unless AMD knows something I don't. Bunker Hill by 10.
West Caldwell at East Burke: The Cavaliers played West Lincoln to within 7, last week. Don't see the Warriors winning this one. EB by 28.
Maiden at Newton-Conover: The world's oldest rivalry. First time ever seeing Maiden play (That I can remember) must have been sometime in the late 60's. They had the Spake brothers and Neil Abernathy. Remember the overflow crowd, good hot dogs and not knowing anyone, but recall thinking "This is a serious football town". They were in the Southern District 7, back then, which was a tough league. I also recall how fired up their team was when they came onto the field. Anyway, suppose the point I'm trying to make is emotion seems to be a fuel additive for them, so I'm thinking they'll be really fired up after after last weeks letdown. Glad we don't have them this week, but they will have to guard against the Red Devils who are a dangerous team with plenty of speed...Maiden by 12.
West Lincoln at Lincolnton: All of a sudden I'm feeling tired, again. What concerns me about this week, is last weeks emotional win. I recall us and other having these super wins and coming out the week after and lapsing into a flatness, so to speak. Wonder if Maiden might have experienced this recently, if you get my drift. We will have to play hard and take it to West. We cannot rely on fourth quarter comebacks. We have to jump on them quick and play an entire game. As always they will come after us. The wolves by 7.
Side Note: A Happy Halloween to fellow posters, hope you can find some enjoyment in it. Heard that AMD was going to go dressed as a peace activist, LOL, that'd be a plot twist. If he does then maybe it's time to put his assets in the nursing home instead of mine. Oh, favored teams are in bold.
Side Note: And now, for your listening enjoyment a mild uplifting classical melody from the Southern Catawba Organ and Harpsichord Society, commemorating Halloween, and at the request of fine townsman Maiden Creek, tune entitled "Standing by the fence and sneering at our opponents." 👇

I'm about ready to make my decision on picks might be some shockers in it. 🤣
Ok Maiden over the fake devils. I could see this as a high scoring game. Not sure how much fight will be left in Newton after a heartbreaker last week.
Lincolnton over West Lincoln, West is just too devastated with injuries right now. But I'm wishing upon a star for West to win 🤣.
Ok drum roll bandy's over bunker Hill. This is a rivalry game for them and I think bandy's really wants this game. And I believe they can play physical and mentally tough enough to kill a 🐻.
Ok and finally I've been going back and forth on this one. And finally going with my gut. And West Caldwell gets it's first win in 3 years. I think they are more athletic but I think both teams are just going through the motions at this point. So let's roll the dice. Hopefully my guts right and it's not the mushrooms 🤣.

Hampton came to play tonight pick 6 maiden up 48-14 with 8 mins left in 4th
Final score Bunker Hill 54 Bandys 53 a big congratulations to the Bears on another conference championship and another big congratulations to the Trojans for taking them to the wire.
Bandy's has a major issue of giving the games away in the fourth quarter they're going to have to figure that out
Technically Lincolnton andn Bunker Hill will be co-champions but bunker Hill will probably get the number one seed for playoffs
Y'all win for the craziest conference race I’ve seen ever.
Creek, if BH or Bandys was one of my teams and had I been there, I really would have had a ministroke. About to have one here.
Yeah, AMD, they beat us head to head, so I look for them to get the title. I think you know some things the rest of us do not, and will only share some of it.
Guys, for the first time since 2016 we will have at least a winning season. For the last two years we were 5-5, but finished 6-4, this time. Proud of our team as I know you are of yours.
As a bit of a side note: West Lincoln and the Wolves showed good sportsmanship, tonight. Lots of handshakes across the line as the final few seconds ticked off of the clock.
