while Patton is enjoying some success running the football, both Hibriten
and Freedom will limit them to season lows. Patton D will not be able to
stop the offense of these two either. With that said,,, QB Eakin should leave
Patton next year as the all time leading rusher for Patton, period... and the all time
QB rush leader for Burke County!! I hope he does it.

Yep Julius Gaines went in 2011. Quinn Smith and Darius Lipford went before him.

Gaines was overlooked. Should have been scholarshiped by a D2 school at the least. Obviously grades play a part, but any kid playing in the Shrine Bowl should be playing college ball.

Julius has a brother....one of them is attending WSSU... Winston Salem State, but not playing ball. Glad he's in school! Their dad is a very good man.... met him years ago.

Prediction just for fun..Hibriten SHOULD make 3rd round. Don't see any reason why they wouldn't with the way they've tore it up on offense and defense. Who would most likely be the team they'll square off with in the 3rd round?

My guess would be either SP, WRowan, or some Guilford co school. I can't see KM considering they lost alittle bit and Burns beat em. Of course Burns has improved.
Playing the likes of crest and shelby will only help come playoff time. Their schedule is pretty soft.

Yeah you got that right lol. I wish they'd a lined up a high ranked Charlotte school like some years back. PACKED HOUSE baby and coulda won. They'll still be tough durning playoff time but Freedom will be the main test. If they take Freedom by 3 TDs they should be ok. If barley win or somehow lose, then this hype will be short lived. I hope not.

What I like about this Hibriten team is the way they spread the wealth.
They have plenty of guys making plays, and play team ball.
Give me a team that uses 5 or 6 good athletes, over a team that uses
one great athlete, while good talent watches... any Fiday night of the month!

You need to have that conversation with Coach Clown.

Freedom QB got Unifour Player of the week for going 19 of 20 against Foard
last Friday. Great stats, even if it was against Foard.

QB is doing a good job. We have spread things out a few games and the play calling has been good. I really think Freedom wins 8 games regular season and maybe a playoff win, depending on bracket.

South will score against Patton this week. Hickory scored 34 against Patton and a lot of that was through the air.

This should be a good game. Watauga must play mistake free
and they got a chance. It's a must win for Freedom with Hibriten
likely winning conference. Watauga on the other hand will finish
in front of South regardless.

It's a done deal for South. Rebuilding time and time to get kids faster, in shape, and of course the ability to run that playbook effectively. They should beat Foard. MAY beat Saint, but that's it.

Id like to think Goins can still be an all conf selection on RB.

Hickory has shocked me the last 2 weeks. I'd like to see them win some games with the struggles they've had the past few years.

Had us beat and let up. Freedom has yet to beat anyone that has won more than 1 game. All joking aside, Freedom could end regular season with only 7 wins. Its embarrassing.

Congrats to a very hungry Hickory team. Played tough and almost pulled it out!

HHS is just so short on kids they wear down during the course of the game. Those two late turnovers doomed their chances tonight.

Pats I hate it for you guys. There is just so much talent in Morganton. There is no reason to get spanked that bad by Shelby (lose yes, not dismantled). Freedom should run this conference. I have the utmost respect for Hibriten but they are actually a 2A team ADM. Hibriten is the cream of the conference but other than them the Patriots should run the other teams off the field.

I really enjoyed the Freedom vs Newton series. Wished that would continue. Freedom and Newton brought a lot of fans when traveling.
