Maiden left quite a few points off the board last night, but Hickory clearly the better team. Special teams were a huge difference. Hickory had maybe the best high school kicker I've ever seen. Hickory had a huge lead, then had a tendency to go through the motions for portions of the game. Maiden was a 37 point Simmons dog, and lost by 22, so we did so-so. We definitely won't beat East Lincoln, but we still have a shot at finishing 5-5. Things will have to be cleaned up though. Absolutely no excuse for defensive linemen lollygagging onto the field when Hickory is about to snap the ball. More than one time. Simply no excuse.
