Remember the ‘79 monsoon game at Maiden?
Bullfrogs were on the sidelines yelling like Vince Lombardi….”What the hell is going on out here!”
I say we play it Friday night!
I sure do. I was there. We were pretty good that year. We went up to Maiden and splished and splashed around and lost.Remember the ‘79 monsoon game at Maiden?

Creek, I’m surprised you remember that. No way you could’ve been more than an underclassman in high school, then.
Per coincidence, I was thinking about that game here last night.
I guess I'll have to make some picks soon since there's people that get a little nervous about some electricity in the air . Guess I need to reach out and get my injury reports lol

Up in Winston Salem today figure I'll look around and see if Anything catches my eye

I may be wrong on this, but I’m thinking both schools have to agree to a Saturday game, which Lincolnton more than likely will.
Thinking the host school gets to keep all the gate during the regular season. I’d want it too.
If it’s played during bad weather or early in the day on Saturday the attendance would probably be down.
If it’s played on Saturday evening there will be a big crowd, but it could increase the risk of problems with fans. It’s a lot to think about and a big decision to make.
That’s not all StormSurge. The Massey ratings picks Maiden to beat Lincolnton 34-21.
MaxPreps has them ranked 4th in the 4A classification with Burns 5th, Hibriten 8th and Cramer 12th.
On the other hand, MaxPreps has Lincolnton ranked 7th in 3A.
Simmons (the only one having it close)has Maiden 3rd in 4A with a power ranking of 127.5 and Lincolnton 3rd in 3A with a power ranking of 126.0
Underdog? some rich man’s ASSets.

I’ll take a Western Foothills sweep and Hibriten along with Cramer.
St. Stephens and West Lincoln concern me but I’m riding with it!
Cmon wolves! Can’t wait!
I LOVE THIS GAME!

Hickory driving on South point. Then throws interception on 15 yard line and South point returns it to the hickory 28
Expected more from this EB team but I know this year West Iredell is the team to beat.
I’m not sure what happened to Draughn after 2022. Big time class of guys gone, I hope another one like that will come around
In a lightning delay should resume shortly we are down 28-21 11 mins to go in the 4th
