Foard 21
Pisgah 10 halftime

Our offense looks like something from the Peewees compared to what Foard is doing. We’ll see if we straighten it out after halftime. Key unforced turnover by us as well in the first half.

Last update on score stream, I don’t check it much cause it don’t update worth a hoot but NL wining in the 4th 35 -28. Let’s see if they hold. I had suspicion this might be a close game cause NWC had their heads rang by Hickory/EL/ Crest level type teams

What a game, Maiden 29 Newton-Conover 27 football was definitely in Maiden tonight. Got to hang out with AlwaysAWolf, his fine brother and one of our fine assistant coaches who is also a relative of GrizzlyDevil. Thanks fellers, enjoyed it.

Newton-Conover had a good game plan and frankly, to the eye of a casual football fan, it looked like what AMD had told me they (N-C) would do.

The Red Devils had their chances and got the breaks BUT, “Winning tough games requires an indomitable will to regroup, make adjustments, and push through when things go wrong for two and a half quarters.” Those aren’t my words, but I wish they were, Curt Cignetti said it.

Hats off to the Red Devils for a good effort and a big congratulations to the Blue Devils on their win and advancing on to play The Tuscola Mountaineers next Friday, In Rocky Top (and it ain’t in Tennessee, it’s in NC)…Climb that mountain, y’all.

On a serious note concerning health: Creek, you’re in your 50’s now. Yes, it’s the new middle-age, but you still must adhere to healthful habits, meaning:

-Don’t Go over to the golf course and celebrate.
-Don’t get with the guys and drink beer ‘til 3AM
-Don’t make a fire in that metal barrel.
-Do go home and go to bed by midnight…Ok, ok, 1 AM.

Your vital signs will thank you for it.

Tonight bodes well for how tough our conference is. I always say it's a murders row
They definitely picked us apart but we failed to adjust some things on our end and we’ve done that a fair amount this year and have just caused ourselves problems or shortcomings a lot. It has been a trend. Best passing QB for us got put out with concussion protocol when he threw the TD to make it 31-17. It was roughing the passer that didn’t get called but even worse knocked him out of the game. Best defender (LB) tore something in his “good” shoulder, so he’s off for surgery after having the same thing happen on his other shoulder last season. Rough night all the way around.

50’s? I wished.

I’ll be in bed soon…still reading.

How bout those Foard Tigers? What a great win for them.

Biggest shock for me was Bandys only scored 3 points! Do what?

Y’all saw what I was talking about when I mentioned “Wal-Mart after midnight” at Maiden tonight. What a crazy game!

Boom Devils! Baby 😵‍💫

Wish you wouldn’t say anything about Walmart after midnight because AMD will say something really nasty about Lincolnton. 😆

A few shockers of the night my goodness. Shoulda went to a game but Tuesday night got me down some kinda way, no need to say it yall know lol.

Bandys loss was a surprise. Guess they know how to play at Wilkes or Bandys just didn’t care. They’ll be alright next year. 3 or 4 more wins I’m sure

NL, that’s what’s up. I told yall strength of schedule. Of course next week they’ll hit a brick wall but an honor to get to play and even get a couple more wins.

Foard- wow, they must not play anybody on those sides of the mtns or Foard just pulled together and with strength of schedule on their side.

Maiden I expected this but also expected a closer game and we got it. Next year, Newton by 7 or 14. But way to go guys.

Well how bout them Cavs. 1st home playoff win since…2007, unless I’m wrong I can’t remember if they beat Salisbury in 2015 at home or away. Now I’m stumped lol. But next week they’ll hit a brick wall too but hey. Maybe 2nd meeting will be close for a half like last time.
