If you're going to Icard tonight, you need to stop in at The Angus and get you something great to eat!
CVAC 2025
- Thread starter flyrod5518
- Start date
Former 4-A school with a nice sized gym yes it can handle a big crowd!!
East Burke girls will draw a large crowd.
I'd like to go but rehabbing an injury and my wife may kill me if I don't stay off it and let it get better 🤣
I was doing my 2 mile run about a week ago felt a pain in my calf and then I thought it was better so I tested it out the pain came back plus it swole up and turned red so had to go to doctor turns out I have a bacterial infection called cellulitis so I'm on antibiotics for next week and allowed to go to the gym for the week also. Don't know if I can take the week off from the gym 🤣🤣
They went and sent me for a sonogram on my leg to test everything out and make sure nothing else was wrong. First time I've ever had something like that done. Honestly it surprised me a little bit as much gel the lady was using and how far up my shorts she was going, I was starting to feel like I was at one of those shady massage parlors I hear people talk about 🤣🤣🤣
I usually like MT fried chicken depends on if they used enough seasoning that night 🤣
That's a @2 spot for me in that direction! The potato wedges make it that!
Nothing happening with the Maiden Sportsmen Club this evening in downtown?Currently no haha.
Crowd is:
I'm not sure too many people really love kids moving and transferring but it's where we are at. Not sure we can go back anytime soon. Some counties have more open policies than other. Not sure what is right or wrong.
Kids and families want to generally have better opportunities. If that means transferring or moving, it is what it is. This lastest 🧩 for the big bad Boom Devils is for football, spin however, homecoming whatever. It's the world we live in.
Other schools have benefitted to, Lincolnton has an absolute stud LB, I believe he started at Foard his freshman year. Not sure the reason behind him and other foard kid leaving. Foard football is rough.
Still not sure where the Surrats lived.
This stuff has happened and will continue to happen.
Teams need to be more open about instead of crying and living in the past.
😀
Wild to think the Wolves have a high level D1 basketball player and football player right now. Awesome to be honest.

The NIL, money or not, has entered high school football.
Dang, final in Statesville North Lincoln 84 East Lincoln 52 Boys final.
True stuff.
Surratts rented a nice apartment, and they moved in. And engaged in the community.
Moved here to play ball, got a football scholly, All American Basketball... and was valedictorian to boot. Entertained, harbored and engaged with teammates and students...Still playing for money, with a Wake Forest degree.
We enjoyed their presence, and never once thought about turning them away. Followed the rules, helped kids in need, coached and made some history along the way.
Continuous scrutiny from powerful places, but it worked out for us and them!
We took more heat that year for another transfer, who moved cuz he needed a roof.
Transfers happen.
I won't comment on the current/recent players. Good kids who rep the Black and Gold very well. Wolves.
Our BB stud is homegrown, and currently competing against some ex,-teammates who transferred to the Boom Devils for their own reasons.
What a time to be alive!

Lincolnton with basketball win. Boom Devils-Lincolnton transfer with a critical error near the end. He received a technical near the end that gave Lincolnton 2 shots and ball. Stud player hit the game winner with .4 seconds left.
Edited - not the 🧩 with the technical, different player.

I went to the People’s Bank Tournament. I thought the Knights were well coached .
Wasn't the transfer kid. Was a different kid. I was sitting right at our bench and heard. Saw the ref hold up the number.
Newton Conover ----> Lincolnton----> maiden kid.. see statement previously
He was sitting between the coaches and the sub desk, where all or subs came in and out from. At that time in the game, Maiden player rebounded and was calling a time out as he was being fouled. Whistle blew, mass confusion as to whether it was a foul or timeout...I looked back from the "foul area" under the basket to half court near the sub desk and the Maiden kid was running on the court and ran into one of the refs.
The refs huddled then clarified that there was a foul on Lincolnton before the timeout and then a Technical on Maiden for the player that ran on the court.
As much as I hate it, it appears to be the correct call. I don't believe the kid properly subbed in...was probably overly excited since we had the ball with 4.4 left...and running on the court into a ref caused the technical.
I hate it for him...I'm sure he'll catch grief till Monday.
Excellent ball game. I missed the first two...glad I caught this one. Both these teams should have deep runs.
Seemed like it. A ton of Deputies present. Counted 12 at one point just around the court. I'm sure there were more.
Good deal. Gotta love it when a game(s) become a happening(s).
Gonna miss the CVAC
From what I understand the two “Foard” kids played youth football in Lincolnton until middle school. Both parents are LHS graduates, uncles, cousins, etc. Regardless, families will have their reasons to make the moves that they make and we as fans can speculate and pick at it all we want, our opinions do not matter. It’s not every day that a small 2A school has a top 25 basketball player in the country and top rated football player in the country that are in the same class. Regardless of the school affiliation this is a major win for our area.
Go Wolves.
It’s real that fams be grindin for better chances, whether it’s ballin, book smarts, or just gettin involved in the hood. Fact is, programs be switchin it up to pull in the talent, and yeah, it can get messy for some, but that’s just how high school sports be rollin now. The Surratts’ story shows how transfers can lift up a whole community. They was killin it on the field while also helpin out in the books and makin friends. They vibes with teammates brought life to the school, showin that transfers ain’t just about sport skills; they bring that neighborhood feel and teamwork. Take that linebacker from Lincolnton, his move shows how this can be a game changer not just for the player, but for the squad too. It’s straight wins all around when both the player and the school come up together, ya feel me?
I could watch Maiden play Lincolnton every night.
I’ve seen all 3 and enjoyed every second of it.
Congrats to those Wolves…Lady Cavs too!😉

Yeah guys I hadn’t been around since the NL Hickory game on these posts. Missed yall though. Hadn’t even seen an EB girls BB game yet and for good reason- they too good. Sad to say that’ll come to an end after this year maybe but this year Ain’t paying money for a blowout ha ha. But hey I’ll get on down there when or if they play North Wilkes. Those country bumpkin gals up that way seem to be the real deal. They took Freedom. EB girls had to fight for that Freedom win both times. Be an even matched heavy weight fight for sure come 3rd or 4th round.
Seeing the Wingate to Maiden move, I bet the blue devil faithful is cutting cartwheels. I can see him doing damage in a Maiden uniform. 50 lbs heavier, 3 pr 4 inches taller, 75 to 100 lbs more on the squat rack this kid would be Tyler Shatley all over again. Shatley was one of the main reasons EB beat Maiden in 07’ which woulda been the 1st only and last time, just saying

I agree 💯 again!! My high school has also benefitted from kids coming into to play. Happy for anyone who can better their situation wether it's academically or through athletics!!
