And, its clear that their feelings about one another havent changed
Messiah Thompson Locked up Jaxon Dollar tonight.
Jaxon had 1 catch and it resulted in a fumble from Thompson.
Dollar was targeted all night.
nothing went his way. Thompson was on all over him.
Thompson had multiple passes broken up.
Also has a clutch Pick 6 on his 17th birthday.

All true. All true
A tough night for the big kid. I'm sure he will recover, but he was handled tonite.
This scrimmage was mostly defensive. East fumbled the ball away a couple of times and the wolves did, once. Both sides had at least one interception. Lincolnton's interception resulted in a pick 6 that went for about 40-50 yards (not sure on the distance), and that is correct that it was by M. Thompson defending J. Dollar.
Lincolnton's other score was a spectacular run by R. Lynch (the running back) after a reception from R.Lynch the quarterback that must have went for around 40 yards (again, not sure on the distance since I was watching the receiver).
Got to give credit to our defense, and to the Mustangs as well. It was a fun scrimmage to watch.
Now for the elephant in the room. As Lawdog and AlwaysA Wolf mentioned, both teams were fired up and wanting to best the other.
With 3:59 left, there was an altercation between the teams that resulted in the game being ended by the officials. It was on East Lincoln's side of the field, so I do not know who started it or what caused it. Didn't see any punches thrown, it mostly looked like bumping pushing and mouthing, but since it was on the far side I couldn't see everything.
Have to give props to Coaches Lubowicz and Angle and their staffs for jumping in and stopping it along with the officials.
They would bring both sides to midfield and counsel with them and I would imagine offer corrections about keeping their feelings in check.
Personal thoughts: Was hoping so badly that the Wolves would come out on top, but in a regulation game it would be close. As fired up for this scrimmage as both sides were, I feel like both coaches pulled back on the reins some, to avoid the possibility of injuries among other reasons, and so they should have.
Frankly, I believe Lincolnton could win a regulation game, but it could go the other way as well. Was good to see so many fine athletes on the field. East Lincoln will be hard to beat. Both teams have many weapons.
PostScript, can't say enough about Lincolnton's M. Thompson defending J, Dollar, I got to say, it was obvious to me that Dollar is the real deal. It was a tough scrimmage for him but he lives up to the billing.
While leaving the stadium area, tonight, I was walking behind a man who was telling someone about a player who was given a considerable sum of money by a shoe company. He went on to say this player bought shoes, etcetera, for other team members. Never heard him say any names, but I have an idea he was talking about one of two players who were on the field, tonight.
If that is correct, hats off to this baller.
In other scrimmages, East Rutherford outscored North Lincoln 13-7. This would be a good game. Both Have quarterbacks with good arms.
Bandys beat West Lincoln, 21-7. Bandys always seems to come up with a quarterback that can throw. West should learn to use the pass.
Side note: Somebody was grilling hamburgers at the concession stand on the visitors' side and the smell was wonderful. wish I could still have them, this late in the day.

This may be the finest scrimmage report ever posted on a high school football forum.
We got play-by-play, defensive analysis, player evaluations, coaching observations, conflict resolution, recruiting rumors, playoff predictions, and even a detailed review of the hamburger aroma at the concession stand.
10/10 reporting
Thank you BoltsUp, and bless you for the kind words. I'm afraid my posts run a little too long and some have complained of suffering from chronic boredom.
On the upside, one poster said he was cured of a weeks long bout with insomnia after reading one of my lengthy ones. At least I can claim that.

Burns- could be a score fest though.
Cramer- FV with no scrimmage will be rough
EG- I’ve heard very little of North Gaston this offseason.
Highland- GCSSuperfan will love this one
Shelby- The Myers Park scrimmage isn’t very impressive to me after seeing the Cannon score.
Maiden- May have the Wolves number
BC- Be interested to see what Waddell brings to the jackets
Cherryville- Darkhorse of 2A
West Lincoln- by a lot.

This brings up a question I have. Do you think it is easier to go undefeated in the conference this year or win the 3A Title?Good luck to all our conference brethren game 1

Win the 3a title.... Burns, Shelby, the Storm and Lincolnton are gonna have major snot bubble fests...
I mean wars
Glad that this conferences has finally become more than the Shelby Burns show...
Take out Highland, Bessemer, Cherryville, East Gaston
replace them with Maiden, Bandys, Newton, Bunker
The money the schools would make would be insane.
That’s the only downfall of this conference. Some Horrible atmosphere’s.

Stuart Cramer/Forestview moved to Thursday
Never moved one game when I was in high school
Back in my day, our head coach had a deal with the devil. Storms would pass right around our stadium and never come close enough to cancel or move anything.
We had pretty good weather. Week one maybe some cramping for some players. I remember games were impacted for hurricanes and had a playoff game against Concord moved to Saturday. I don’t remember why it was moved.
LOL this season is going to be so much fun
MR. LINCOLNTON...
I left you 2 fresh pawpaws on your top step, if you would like to satisfy your culinary curiosity.
Lemme know how it turns out!

Thank you, my friend and bless y’all…When I got back from walking, I looked on the Internet and saw these. I feel awfully dumb for not knowing what they were but it’s good to learn something. They can even be purchased online.
Called my cousin next-door and ask if she knew what they were and she talked to me like I was having an episode of dementia.
A I said the taste of the fruit was a combination of a banana, a mango and a cantaloupe.
Thank you again for thinking of me.
