Thats been going on for years. Not sure what it was when I was in school or if they even charged
Football Western Foothills 4A/5A - Week 6
- Thread starter Flyrod
- Start date
Hickory has just righted the ship over the past few years with Joe Glass at the helm. Comparing HHS to those "Special Teams" is way off base. North Lincoln is the worst team we've faced so far. Hickory had 3 offensive plays in the 2nd half last night and scored on 2 of those compared to NL'S 22 offensive plays. NL rushed for 102 yards on 36 carries, your man Agee had 28 of those on 12 carries. NL looked confused on many of thier play calls all night.
Of course its was offbase I was just bragging on em'. For the size of our pond here in the West, Hickory is the big fish I guess thats what I was getting at just being silly with it. North will not be what they were 2 years ago probably for a while, maybe a good while. It took Hickory, wow, a good deal of time to get around to 1996 type Calibure and/or how they are now. Very happy for this program
He did the best he could. He did run hard but it was mainly between the tackles.

We definitely appreciate the compliment, Hickory has always brought in talent, we've had many teams I felt was state championship worthy between 1996 - 2023. I remember some really good teams over the years, but the (Joe Glass Era) has been so impactful to our community, nothing against Stone, Helms or Worley, but Glass has brought in a different type of culture outside of football here, he wins and that's always great, but Coach Glass does so much more, the way he hold our kids accountable, and really cares for the kids outside of football as well.
We are definitely the BIG FISH
around here, and like you said it took some time to get back to that 1996 or 2023 caliber type of team, but the future is bright for Hickory High School Football 
Agee ran okay last night, I can tell he is not 100% though
We had a big coaching dilemma the night we faced Charlotte Catholic. If you knew the story it would sound fairy tale. Catholic was an awesome team, but not as good us.

Hate that for the young man an being his senior year. he was a freshman carrying 1/2 the load with Wingate 3 and 2 years ago. Hopefully he'll be 100 percent before basketball.
I'm wondering what happened to Charlotte Catholic the past couple years/ this year. They been taking a beating seeing the scoreboards. They've been solid for as long as I can remember.
Had a great coach (Mike Brodowicz) that stepped down a few years ago. They went through a couple coaches that didn’t work out. Now Brodowicz is back so it probably won’t be long before they’re really good. Not Weddington good but good enough to compete in 6A.
The newer Catholic School in northern Mecklenburg county has effected their numbers. They used to get all the Catholic athletes but now familes have a closer option instead of the commute from northern mecklenburg to Southern mecklenburg.
They played Watauga close in playoffs last year. I think they are in split 6a/7a conference too.
Speaking of Watauga- question for posters Beamer, AMD, Lincolnton, and Maiden Creek(Anyone else can chime in I don’t care lol)
This game for the conf crown unless Alexander Central got something to say, Watauga on a rebuild year and really young- Can Freedom take em’ this Friday and who would you go with? Freedom or Watauga? This ain’t for pick tally it don’t count. I put this on a Beamer reply since he’s seen the Boone boys prob more than I have
It’s a toss up in my opinion…if I have to pick I’d take Watauga at home.
For the record…I ain’t giving up on St. Stephens just yet!
Anxious to see how they do against Alexander Central.
Yep. I wouldn't be shocked for them to get on a roll in conference.
There coach is good. If they had him in the 90s and WAY before now no telling what they woulda done. They had better athletes than a lot of teams that was beating the brakes off of them in the 90s and early 2000s.
The thing with this year is Freedom is well coached and working ok with what he has but don’t expect a whole lot. TC Roberson done a number on Freedom as well as Watauga and is a team to keep an eye on in Nov/Dec. Watauga has shown for a while that it don’t matter how much they lose to graduation they come back hot every year BUT this past year they lost….alittle TOO much and it shows but they did lose to really good teams and one win against Ashe co which has pretty much become another Highland Tech so I dunno what’s going on there. They are super young this year with a JV team that’s moping the floor with everyone like Hibritens JV did last year so the Boone boys will be back soild next year and it’d be nice if they played Hickory or Hibriten that’d be a box sale.
basically they been running the roost for while and this is ACentral Freedoms chance to do something. It’ll be an exciting game. I’m gonna go with Freedom by 3 with people storming the field with the win lol. In the 90s I’d a laughed at the thought of that
