I know where I will be at next. Probably where everybody else will be. At Hickory. Hopefully I can make the trip
Let me know,.

Also Burns in a down to the wire 1 point over Cramer. I called the close ones.

Fellas I think I found a team thats prob as bad as Highland Tech and I never thought it could be possible- North Wilkes got destroyed tonight 56 to 0 by Ashe County. Ashe County is awful, very awful lol

Does that RB of West Iredell remind anyone of Antione Ikard of Maiden from way back. He’s hard to stop.
I went to West Iredell tonight. First time I’ve ever seen them. And the RB is great. Would be nice if they didn’t have to use him on defense any. He was gassed a few times. Ikard was also a great back. I was only 8-10 years old when he was playing, but I do remember him being hard to bring down. Maiden had a Ramseur around that same time that was also good.

Was Ikard #21. I remember some old football Friday night film of him if that’s him. He’d be on there every week.

I believe Ron Ramseur was #21. Not completely sure, but I believe Antoine wore #34.

Honestly last night could of been worse. It's the mistakes that keeps hurting us. Defense starts light's out. But when offense turns ball over on 10 yard line it saps defensive energy. Then when you lose 2 onside kicks it just takes the fire out of the defense. The offense moves the ball but when u have 3 possessions instide the 10 and don't come away with points. You can't beat good teams. But comes back to mistakes. QB calling wrong play or wr running wrong routes. Lord forbid we clean up those I honestly believe we could be dangerous

You are probably thinking of Michael Ramseur who was a year older than Antoine and is the head coach at Foard.

Hickory will be prepared and handle West Iredell. Our run defense is awesome as in last night's effort of allowing Maiden 22 yards on 23 rushing attempts. Some folks can't see the forest for the trees. HHS gave up a lot of yards to SP first game but since then the Red Tornadoes have given up 700 yards rushing in 6 games. HHS has the speed and pursuit needed to defeat WI.

I'm leaning a little West Statesville πŸ˜‚. Hickory run Def isn't strongest suit. I think hickory is better coached and craftier which could be the game changer. If u base it off South point game they will have trouble with spence especially on the outside
Would you and Beamer like to enlighten the rest of the group as to how we should pick all the other games next week?

Y’all keep it up…I’ll throw a flag!

Yours truly,
The score keeper πŸ˜‚

I gotta see Maiden stats first but I thinking the RB had more than 22 yards and that your stats are taking into consideration the QB lost yards. Which is technically correct way of doing stats but it skews the the picture. By no means did our RB blow away the stats. But y'all will see when Spence starts running over yalls kids

Hickory will for sure be fine and our run defense is good, let’s just hope there run defense is good enough to hold Jenkins he already has 23 rushing touchdowns.

Running over y'all kids? We are not these other teams :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: we are the defending conference champs, again, Spence is who he is, but they got to slow down Jenkins and our passing game as well. What I do know is they will not beat us 37-0. And kids are getting run over because they are hitting too high to much grabbing.

The Ref did not like us down there in the town of Maiden last night

The penalties were ridiculous smh..........Coach Glass was chatting with them refs tonight, but anyways, Coach Joe Glass is a smart coach and his staff is just awesome, A few On-Side kicks last night, when we would get in our jumbo pack formation, Maiden did not have the urgency they needed so they were trying to sub, The scouting report obviously was to shut down Jaheem Jenkins but Hickory just has so many weapons to contain. Penalties put Maiden in the Endzone in the second half, which I did not agree with. We scored 43 points last night and did not have a sharp game at all, but a Win is a Win!!!! #TorandoPride
