Olddog77, you make Chopper sound like the devil. Read in the Bible where God asked him, "where have you been ? He said going to and fro in the earth and walking up and down in it". Later I heard a minister on TV say what the devil meant was he was roaming around to see how much trouble he could cause. Your post might be spot on.
Just how I interpret his words. Did you by any chance attend the 1994 championship game- or were you not old enough?Olddog77, you make Chopper sound like the devil.

I was in HS then and in the marching band. We brought our entire (150 person) band. They set us up basically on the field on temp bleachers. The broadcast team at the time, had to broadcast from on top of the School behind the stands. The crowd that night was epic, the win was even better, 35-0.

Sometimes a mangy old k9 will tear that ass up if u overlook em!
Yes sir, I sure did. That was a sad day for us. We had won the title the year before against Burlington Cummings as an underdog and felt pretty good about winning it again in 94.
I graduated in 77, so I ain't no spring chicken myselfYes sir, I sure did. That was a sad day for us. We had won the title the year before against Burlington Cummings as an underdog and felt pretty good about winning it again in 94.
A retired state trooper who was originally from that area told me a few days before that WRH is a very tough program and played hard nosed football, and that we could expect a hard fought game.
Lincolnton played a Wallace-Rose Hill team that refused to lose. They just meant to take that title back home with them. They had a quarterback who was obviously a leader and also had a running back, T. Newkirk, who was really good, along with a very stingy defense.
I saw WRH beat Reidsville in 2017, in overtime. Like this year, I'm thinking they had lost to East Duplin in a close game during regular season but don't think ED or their opponent Hibriten would have wanted the Bulldogs that day.
LOL, about the age thing, in 1994, I was still young, I wasn't quite 50. Old man in the house.
That 94 game seems like last week to me. I graduated in 1971, I'm 69, now. When WRH won the title in 2017 my cousin told me I should be in the rest home, then for driving 170 miles to watch a high school football game in the snow. It wasn't as bad over that way but I'm thinking like it was still snowing when I got there.
Ed played Hibriten at 3, and we played Reidsville at 7. I went to both, as you know it snowed alot during the ed game. I was wet from snow by the time our game started, I thought I was gonna freeze. One of the coldest games I ever sat thru. In the late 80s, don't remember actually which year. Went to Thomasville to see Thomasville vs Hertford Co, it was last year of playing championship game at home team w best record. That was a cold night also!
I better come clean. I don't think Chopper is the devil, just his advocate. On another thread he's already told me I'd made the list, which I don't want to be on.
I drove over 1100 miles to attend my cousin's son's high school game in Springdale Arkansas this season. I'd love to go Saturday to watch Bo in his 3rd straight state title game. So far he is 1-1 in title games. Hoping he makes it 2-1 Saturday. I been looking to see if I could leave after the WRH- ED game and make it but the game is at noon and it's a 15 hour drive. A lot of my family thought I was crazy for doing that. I drove up on Thursday leaving around 2am. I got there in time to watch their JV game in Dardanelle then drove on up to Springdale and watched Bo's game and left Saturday morning and drive back home.
Otis, you must be an awfully good family member. Hope they appreciate you. I just read a piece in an online Little Rock newspaper that covers northwest Arkansas and watched a clip on Hudl. If the one I saw is your nephew he is truly a player. Has a low center of gravity, fast, quick and noticeably hard to tackle. He plays for a private school ?
Coach, it must have been 1988. I was at Shelby and it was bitterly cold. They lost to Burlington Cummings in the 3A championship.
ED did have a say so. Most of the time the opponent does. They have a great veteran team and they are showing it!! Hoping for a great game.
It was snowing. Ed and Hibriten played in it.
I hear he's a pretty good bingo administrator also
LOL, thanks Shelby Lion. He knows you can handle him. It was you who posted his photo along with his lady friends. I could almost hear him gasp when he realized you’d caught him.
Wait. What? You didn’t say anything about us going to Arkansas after the game Friday. 😂😂😂
I've already looked into it. The game Saturday is at Noon. I need 15 hours to get there. We would have to leave at halftime. Be careful what you wish for cause I really want to go.
Chopper dont gasp he says LOL
Yeah, ED got interception against Hibriton about the 2 yd line and next play Hibriton got a safety, I think in 2nd qtr
I was also at that game in 94. I was 11. Seems like we ran the kickoff back to start the game and became way too confident. Still had a chance late and fumbled it away. Tough one to swallow, even at age 11.Yes sir, I sure did. That was a sad day for us. We had won the title the year before against Burlington Cummings as an underdog and felt pretty good about winning it again in 94.

That's right. It was second quarter. If I am not mistaken instead of running a QB sneak to get some yards, ED ran either a sweep or tried to run a reverse and the RB got tackled in the end zone for a safety. After ED kicked the ball to Hibriten, three or four plays later they got a TD pass to a receiver that got behind the safety and it was 9-7 Hibriten.
