I agree GDG. The lopsided loss to Shelby was unacceptable.
Freedom's been loaded with talent at every position for 7 yrs. At the least,
there should be one or two trophies in the cabinet. I think it's a combination
of things....

And yes, I too enjoyed the Freedom/N Conover series!

 

[patsfball]

What's everyone's thoughts on Freedom/Watauga game? Is this the year
the Pioneers finally get a recent W against Freedom? To me, this is a must win
for Freedom in regards to playoff seeding.

Pioneers with the win.

 

[patsfball]

many are projecting an upset... I'm not sure that I would consider it an upset.

I think it will be high scoring... the last one with the ball wins!

 

[beamer24]

Shootout ending with the best coached team winning.

 

[Burkeforreal]

This is usually a major thrashing, espacially in the 90s. Watauga has deeply impressed me with how they've came around in conf play.

Major athletes in the 90s that coulda beat anyone in conf at times but Crest if used and coached right. IMO

 

[CHEERDUCK]

Watauga's diverse offense will give Freedom trouble. If Freedom doesn't score each time the Pioneers do it could be a long night for the Patriots.I feel Watauga takes this one by 5 points, 41-36.

 

[patsfball]

you're right about Watauga's diverse offense.... usually very hard to defend.
this will be a totally different game compared to last year.

Freedom has opened things up, throwing the football a lot more.
If Allen would have ran this offense the past two seasons he would have
a ring.....now some major players are gone and the chances are far less
likely.... even of a conf championship. JV team is pretty solid and future QB
Birchfield shows a lot of promise.

They did throw more I've noticed. Only seen them at the TC Roberson game.

What I can't figure out is how in the world did Hickory keep it so close?

After seeming that score id say they are out of the basement and will burn South Caldwell by 28+ easily. I figured South would be less competitive as last season but I never saw it coming out to being this bad for them.

Predictions

1. Hibriten- obvious
2. Freedom- Lucky stop on Watauga
3. Watauga- I'm convinced
4. Patton- just good enough
5. Hickory- suprise
6. Saint- back to old days
7. Foard- battle to avoid basement
8. South- back to the 80s, smh

 

[patsfball]

Simmons has Freedom picked by 6. The rain does favor Freedom...
it will limit Watauga offense.

 

[sammyk]

I remember a time when St Stephens beat Bandys, Kings Mtn and East Lincoln all in the same year

 

[patsfball]

Wow, what year was that?

 

[sammyk]

2001-2002 and went 7-4

Must have been in The Dark Ages.

 

[Godevilsgo]

2001-2002 and went 7-4

No kidding. Boy they must have been aweful. That must have been the years Crest was in the conference with Hickory as well. Saw Crest about that time put 50 on Saint in the first half. Coach for Saint came to midfield and stared down Crest HC Kirby before heading to the fieldhouse. Crest fans went wild with laughter. Kirby pulled back and laid down with the ball the entire second half.

 

[sammyk]

Yea that might have happened. Crest was good just not good enough that year

 

[patsfball]

For some reason, I just can't remember Saint ever being good.
hey, glad to hear this!

 

[Burkeforreal]

Any cancelations and redo's??

 

[patsfball]

The mud battle for 2nd place in conf will be played on the beautiful majestic
banks of the swollen Catawba River @ 7:30pm.

Oh, I almost forgot... breakfast bar at Ables afterward.... best in town!

 

[beamer24]

I miss that announcer. Watauga buses just rolled through Lenoir. Should be the best game in the area tonight. Keep us posted Pats hopefully the big dog will cover it.

 

[patsfball]

come on over Beam, I buy you a plate of bacon and gravy after game!

 

[beamer24]

If I wasn't working id be there. FTF wont be much of a game.

 

[patsfball]

Watauga up 7 to 0

 

[patsfball]

Watauga up 21 to 0

 

[patsfball]

28 to 0 Watauga. Freedom 3 turnovers so far.

 

[beamer24]

Ouch.

 

[us_doss11]

28 to 0 Watauga. Freedom 3 turnovers so far.

ON WATAUGA!!!!!! GO PIONEERS!!!

 

[Godevilsgo]

Maxpreps say 31-0. Good grief. Laying the wood to the Patriots.

 

[sparta1]

Wait, so Spart thinks Hibriten will have 55 hung on them???

Are you kidding me?

I was just kidding Hibriten will win 70-7 Patton got 2 good player half saint Stephens 21 Patton 14

 

[patsfball]

Watauga 45 to 0

 

[beamer24]

Saint 28 Patton 22
Hibriten 56 Foard 7

 

[patsfball]

Pioneers win big.. 45 to 7 with a running clock. Congrats Doss. Watauga is back!

 

[patsfball]

Turnovers and no game plan....

 

[sparta1]

Patton. 31 saint. Stephens 22

 

[Godevilsgo]

Turnovers and no game plan....

You can blame the administration for the past three years Pats. They made the selection. Watauga has a good coach and it shows losing all they did to graduation.

 

[patsfball]

+1

 

[Burkeforreal]

Hibriten vs Watauga, get ready boys!!

 

[Burkeforreal]

Expecting a slamming gate sale. We're is it at Hibriten?

 

[Reynoldsrocks2]

Watauga is good, people doubted them but when we played them I knew they would give that conference fits! Congrats Watauga you have a good coach and a good team!

 

[beamer24]

Expecting a slamming gate sale. We're is it at Hibriten?

Its at Hibriten.
