    You can see it when you enter their stadium on the north side of the building, sitting there up on the hill. It’s a wicked looking thing.

    West Lincoln has a cannon, too. It seems like they always aim it towards our side. One year they had it over here. They were losing badly so I guess they decided to have some fun with it. The muzzle blast or shockwave was so bad it felt like somebody with big hands slapping me in the chest...

    It makes my arthritis flare up just reading this schedule. Hats off to the Blue Devils, but that’s brutal.

    Shelby Lion, that sounds good. If it makes you happy, it makes me happy, too. :)

    Shelby Lions pre-season prognostications

    I’ve wondered what he teaches over at the college. Can’t blame him for not openly discussing work; but I think he would do well at whatever it is. Just from knowing him I can’t picture him with unshorn hair and beard, unkempt clothes, and a pair of runned-over shoes, wearing an old green...

    4A baseball scores

    Was looking at some of the wins and losses for Burns. Last time they had a losing season was 2021, but have not lost more than five games in a season since then. If my counting is correct (I wrote this down on the back of an envelope, no calculator, so maybe off a little) in the last five years...

    Wouldn’t know for sure and just guessing, the concession stands over in Cleveland Couny probably use Mack’s or Jenkins livermush. That’s where these two are located. Thinking that Neese’s is over in the Triad area.

    Conference Champions

    East Gaston is an old favorite. I’d like to see them have a good season. For Lincolnton, having conference opponents Cramer, Shelby or Burns is a pick your poison for us. You’ve heard the term on any given night. Last season, we were undefeated in conference play then we went to Cramer. How I...

    In baseball, Lincolnton didn't make the playoffs, but several good games coming up this week that are close by or within an easy driving distance: North Davidson is at North Lincoln; Forbush is at Lincoln Charter; East Lincoln is at Crest and Hickory is at South Point. *Side Note: All the best...

    Stormsurge, thanks for the encouragement. I have high hopes for the wolves, this year, too, but at this level (3A) an injury to a key player in the backfield or line can have a really bad effect. Actually, I have to give them credit, Maiden can lose players to graduation and still come up with...

    I see where you got some sponsors, I congratulate you. If auto-body shops, paint-glass businesses and custom shops knew how many fans those events bring in, they’d be advertising with you. Last time I was there, the entire side of the hill was covered with fans. Hey, when you get to be an old...

    It was in the paper here, last week. Each year, the board of county commissioners has to choose a method of how to distribute tax revenue between the county and municipalities in that county. The tax is either based on per capita or ad valorem. They’d been using per capita and changed to ad...
