Where is St. Stephens and what were they before this year, 3A ? Mount Airy plays them in week 5 non-conference.

 

[GrizzlyDevil]

Not a football school...shouldn't have anything to worry about.

 

[amaidendevil]

Where is St. Stephens and what were they before this year, 3A ? Mount Airy plays them in week 5 non-conference.

Probably the most push over school in the county. It's either them or Fred t Foard. Their match ups where only time they seemed competitive. I know the Mt airy faithful will show up to support their team but honestly could find plenty of better games to watch. I don't see their fan base traveling up there.

If where is meaning location I guess it's hickory but kinda more towards Conover area. Springs Rd. Weirdly the biggest school in the county 🤣

Pretty good in kick ball (soccer) I think.

 

[Maiden Creek]

I ain’t gonna read no more of this about St. Stephens!…nope!

Keep it up and you’ll be sportin’ a fresh SSAW!😂

St. Stephens was YOUNG! last year…wait and see!…They gonna give both of the Bear teams all they want!

Let’s go! Coach Lowman!😉

For the Maiden posters…remember the Maiden-St. Stephens JV game last year? Arguably… one of the craziest games I’ve ever seen. Just saying!

Let’s go! St. Stephens.

They were 3A I think

 

[buzzcoach]

Hickory NC. Have been either 3A and 4A over the years. Indians

I thought so. Never even been there couldn't tell you where the school even is in Hickory

Off springs Rd near old drive in/flea market right below an old trailer park

Off springs Rd near old drive in/flea market right below an old trailer park

Now that a dang description, I can find it.

I lived 2 miles from school for 13 years. My Daughter went to school their.

 

[amaidendevil]

Now that a dang description, I can find it.

I'm a very descriptive person 🤣

 

[amaidendevil]

If anyone needs a description of Lincolnton high school 🤣. When u get to Lincolnton look for a big brick building that looks like a factory 😂. If u park at school and want to get to stadium u start walking till u get almost to the end of the school district 😂 and u will know ur there when u hear a bunch of wolves howling but they sound like they are on their death bed. Old and decrypted sounding.

I don't know if the walk you described is worse or the howling wolf!!

 

[amaidendevil]

U can bypass the walk if u figure out the maze of side streets 🤣. Can't avoid the decrypted dying wolf howling unless u jam something into your eardrums and make yourself deaf 🤣🤣

 

[amaidendevil]

Now let's say ur looking for bandy's high school 🤔 head down 16 towards the country and then you will see this tiny brick building that's bulging because they have crammed so many people in it, that's it looks like stuffed hog going to slaughter. You would wonder why this tiny school has an indoor swimming pool but they don't 🤣 it's just there basketball gym and it's leaky roof. Now for the stadium important note they will be checking your credit score as you go in. Because u need to take a loan out to afford anything from the concession stand 🤣. And lastly u will wonder why the announcer booth is on the visitor side 🤔 mostly because we have owned them so much that we just took that from them also 🤣

Some of the 1A Schools up here have that, where the visiting side is where the press box is with the Homeside opposite!!! That's neat though with a big school like Bandys been there like one time but man we are talking about years ago!!

If u go back don't plan on eating anything in stadium unless u got a 750 credit score or higher 😂

😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 I don't even think they'll approve me for a loan!!

Lot of things are decrepit around here, including me. I'm worse off than the tinman, at least he has an oil can for his joints.

About Lincolnton High, I live in that neighborhood and my jogging route goes past our stadium. While running by there, not so long ago, I found some money. It was a fairly large bill, so the next day I took it over to the high school to turn it in. I waited until classes were dismissed, thinking the office staff wouldn't be busy. Wanted to tell them if no one claimed it within a short time to put it in the faculty coffee fund or to use it however they wanted to.

I went to the main entrance and it was locked. There is a small intercom beside the door with a button to press for assistance...A couple of minutes later, an athletic young man dressed in what appeared to be a coaches garb cracked the door open about three inches and bluntly asked "What do you need ?" After telling him, he said "Take it to the office", which I did.

Thought to myself, "What a cordial guy." Believe he thought I was one of the homeless people who live in that area. Wondered how he would have reacted if I'd said "Son, how about going down to the cafeteria and fix an old man a ham sandwich, put a little salt and pepper on it but go easy on the mustard and mayo, and too, when you pass vending, get me a Coca-Cola, and be sure it's NOT the diet type.

Side Note: In the above quote by amaidendevil, he mentions walking to the end of our (Lincolnton High's) school district. This is not hyperbole, the way it looks on the districts' map, parts of the West Lincoln School District come all the way to the creek which runs behind our visitors' stands. Granted, the property just across this creek is undeveloped, but I don't know of any other school whose district runs up to their stadium area.

Side Note: While I'm at it, if I could put in a plug for Lincolnton, The primary streets that encircle the school and stadium area are named, Skip Lawing Drive and Jeb Seagle Drive. Both were Lincolnton High alumni, who were killed in combat. Sgt. Paul Lawing, Jr. was a special forces (Green Beret) soldier in the Vietnam War, and Capt. Jeb Seagle was a Marine Corp gunship pilot in the invasion of Grenada. You would have like them, both.

Ok, I’ll bite, why 750 credit score?

Because you want a good interest rate on that $10 hamburger $12 cheeseburger $8 slice of pizza. I believe popcorn was like five dollars. @Lincolnton can tell you I'm not lying on this one either 🤣

Question Lincolnton??? My uncle I believe was the one that told me the West Lincoln district is literally behind the visitors side not sure if there is any truth to that, but thought I would ask

All my visits there in basketball and football, they usually just yelled obscenity at me and then gave me a bottle of water.

 

[Lincolnton]

That’s correct, Bobert, The West Bank of the creek is where the WL district began.
After Lincolnton Middle School was built, on up Startown Rd., and on the west side of the creek, they had to cede a little of it to Lincolnton. By the looks of the map, parts of the WL district still comes to the creek that’s behind our visitors’ stand’s.

The Lincolnton school district is a very narrow strip on both sides of old U. S. 321 business.
The North Lincoln School District, is adjacent to the east side of Lincolnton's City limits and goes east to Lake Norman encompassing nearly all the northeastern 1/4 of Lincoln County….Not far southeast of the city limits the East Lincoln District begins. It encompasses approximately the entire southeastern 1/4 of Lincoln County and runs all the way to Lake Norman and Mecklenburg County.

This is my opinion, only, but I don't believe Lincolnton has many friends among pertinent boards whose names have county in it. We're kind of like Hickory in relation to the rest of Catawba County, or Cherryville to Gaston County. Euphemistically speaking, to them, were the pariah.

I've mentioned this on here, before, but I worked for a boss who was originally from another part of the county. Told him once that while talking to his neighbor, she said that a lot of people in the area he lived in were fiercely independent, and did not like or trust Washington or Raleigh. He said "You've left one out, Lincolnton." I explained to him she had said that, too, but I deliberately left it out. Have to say though, this guy was a great boss... Wonder if the powers that be would adopt us out to another county if that was legally possible. 🤠

That's crazy!! I thought that might be the case but wasn't sure. It's like every school district lines are right up against each other going in every different direction

Adding to Startown, I have heard rumblings that the new development being built will be divided between Lincolnton and West Lincoln. Not sure how much truth there is to that.
