This title is a little peculiar but so am I. Perhaps it’s the result of cerebral warping brought on by one thing or another over many decades, or only the ruminations of a frustrated fan. Still, here’s what I wanted to say:
Last night was the first time our Lincolnton Wolves played Stuart Cramer High. Usually, newer schools get their ears pinned back when playing older and more established teams, especially those who are traditionally good, but for us, it wasn’t to be. The Storm had its way all evening and sent us back home with a 40-7 loss.
We have a number of fundamental issues to remedy and hopefully it will get done but nevertheless keep your heads up, Wolves, and stay focused, I for one am proud of our team, no matter what, as much as we all hate to lose.
Speaking of Cramer's location, according to Siri, the distance from it to South Point is three miles by car or two miles as the crow flies. Surely it isn’t that close, but if it really is and It may take some time for Cramer to get to a South Point level of play, but if it could, this might be one of the premiere rivalries in North Carolina, much like Crest and Shelby, Scotland and Richmond, Tuscola and Pisgah or more recently Lincolnton and that other school down near the lake. There are lots of passionate fans on this site but none any more so than the Red Raider faithful and since Cramer is in that area, too, I wouldn’t have any reason to believe their followers would be any less dedicated.
I saw on the internet that Stuart Cramer, the school’s namesake, was a textile engineer who came to Gaston County from Thomasville, another connection to storied football.
The town of Cramerton was named for him in the early part of the twentieth century but since readers usually get bored with my quips on history I’ll leave it there, other than to say it’s remarkable how some peoples’ names’ live on, in one way or another. It sure won’t be forgotten any time soon, here. Congratulations to you guys.
