Foard had a really good RB transfer in that really helped that year. They beat us by 1. We went for 2 and didnt get it. Im pretty sure it was a 3 way tie for conference, Foard, Newton and Hibriten.
Yep, I remember, I think, I remember someone saying he came from Texas, his name was Quintin Owens he was the last RB to rush over 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons at Fred T. Foard, but I could be wrong, but left his mark on the Fred T. Foard High football program for sure, he wasn't really big, but had speed and quickness, which is a headache for any defense.

Bandys lost a heartbreaker to Newton last year. Remember?…they fumbled in the red zone as seconds remained getting ready to kick the game winning FG to win it. Lost by 1.

I’ll take Bandys this year in a redemption game for the Trojans.

East Lincoln
Maiden
Hickory
Lincolnton
Hibriten
Shelby….hoping the Cramerton “Clearing Showers” scare the bejeezers out of those Lions!🫵

Good luck! Y’all😉

Can someone check on our friend, Lincolnton?
Thank you my friend. I’m good.By the way, I’ve been wanting to ask you. Have you had to renew your drivers’ license in the past year or so?
You know that is a big thing for old heads like me, because you are required to take an eye exam.

Fortunately, when I went in I didn’t have any trouble. The examiner gave me a paper with my photo saying I passed, and told me my actual license would come in the mail.

A week or so later, they came, and you should see them. Can remember looking at them and thinking, “Where were these license issued.”They looked like a license that might have been issued in Myanmar or maybe Mongolia. It has several odd designs along with my initials and name backwards. If you move it against the light you can you can see my head appear underneath a little horse. It also has stars, the Wright Flyer, and my favorite is a lizard. If you drop it, it sounds like a piece of tin.

Have a friend that works in Raleigh whom I called and asked why was there a lizard on my license. He seemed surprised that I didn’t know. He said “It’s the state salamander.” I thought, “Well yeah, where’s my head, it’s the state salamander.” “Hey! Look out the window and see who’s knocking on the door”…”Uhhh, it’s the state salamander.”…”Well, tell him to come on in. Get a saucer and pour him out some wine, and get him a few soda crackers and a slither of sharp cheese.”

Anyway, if you are due for a license renewal don’t be surprised at what they send you… They’re an authentic OL. :)

I got mine in May. I was worried to death I’d fail the eye test. Somehow I got 10 outta 10….without the readers too.

I talked to friend who is in the know (insurance guy)….said you have 2 years to renew your license. I was blown away! I delayed it for a year before I went. The lady at the counter confirmed it…I was a year late but still good.

Who knew?

Already week 6, they'll be dribbling before we know it. As it is every year.

Bandys- aint buying AMD upset but hey i;ll prob be wrong again
East Lincoln- another prep game before West Iredell but one they can gage alot on and take serious. EL by just 14 if BH comes to play.
Maiden- for the historic society of Maiden, how many times has Foard won this one 3 maybe 4 times since Elvis first took the stage?
Hickory-it wont a Highland Tech type beatdown at least


Lincolnton- Ltown and Lincolnton and Always, surely youll stay home or find a better game

Hibriten- this was East Burkes joke opponent back in the day. If they can hang tough and make it at least look respectable they may can vie for 2nd in this conference. EB JV's last year fought hard and scored on Hib undefeated JV's in a loopsided victory. May be that kinda game again

Shelby- just because its Shelby, but one I wouldn't mind seeing. No game in Burke co worth watching this fri I tell ya that lol
I'll be at the Tech. Not excited about it, tho.

Good luck tonight. I’m sure the little bit of turmoil I’ve heard about/read on FB is blown out of proportion. A win will make some of that go away. Oh yeah, FFN 👀👀.

Not sure I’ve ever been more burned out on a song than that one
That’s funny!😂

Years ago….I got so burned out on Adele…they played her songs every 5 minutes. I started calling her “Again”!

I’d say well listen to this…they’re playing “Again” again.

My wife and daughter would raise hell at me!😂

Good times!

Creek, wondered if you were heading over to Foard this evening. Good luck to you.
Here is a link to the Shelby-Cramer game if you need an up date. When you click on KTC Broadcasting it will take you to a second page. Once you get there click the small arrow in the small silver box in the middle of the page.

Radio said 13 to 7 after I got out of church I said dang, then I got here and now it’s already 26 to 7. EB scored first and now they run away with it. Doubt they gonna do anything in one quarter but let’s see if they put up a fight.

any more score updates?

After game reactions... hadn't done this in a while or at all as a whole, why not.

Bandys- Newtons time may not be til next year/ year after. JV's piling the wins but not saying that always translates to wins on varsity the next season

EL-Shaping up to be a NICE one when they take the field against Hickory and West Iredell

Hickory- hey its Hickory, the Hough/Mallard Creek/Weddington of the smaller town west region. If I'm overboard with that one let me know ha ha. Those 3 schools are pretty much small college level with some D1 mix. North may get better but thats JUST gaged off of this current JV team that seems to have a decent 9th grade class, hadn't watched em, dont think I will unless I get real bord, I rarely do JV games

Lincolnton- playoffs looking bright but did those guys have to put actual effort into not putting up 100 plus on the board? I wont mention a name but years ago I remember hearing bout a RB from I wont say what school it was, bragging bout his stats...the thing was he got alot of them from playing HT, smh LOL


Hibriten- man I shoulda not came I guess I jinxed em' I came down there after a church service cause right after I cranked up, I turned on Kix 103 thinking yeah lets hear how bad this is, and man I was blown backwards hearing 13-7 at the half, so I drove on down. Hibriten started running away with it afterwards. Number 3# the back up QB from EB was playing with great aggresion and doing great at making plays and trying to under pressure but it just wasn't to be. Hibriten is gonna do something in the playoffs and looking like Maiden might be in that path. Playoff riviarly now I'm sure.



Shelby- not much to say except thats that Shelby football. A moneys worth game

No. He had to step aside for another very serious life reason.
I do remember hearing he had some stuff going on then didn't see anything further. I had him on my prayer list back then, I used the word "guess" in that sentence meaning nobody take it to the bank. I hope all is well with him
