Looks like a dead post since nobody put anything on it since close to New Years Eve. I look for them to be at least decent if they have a super offensive minded coach take over. Here's the next question, were is Helms going??

Helms is carrying a lot of baggage, and it would surprise me if any principal would touch him now.

Little old now but... word before Christmas was Helms looking at
OC at East Burke with Tom Brown. I don't see this happening.

Nothing against Forrest Blake but I hope he doesn't get the head coach position. I would like Blake to continue as head wrestling coach and revive Hickory High as a good wrestling school again. It's been way too many years of absolute puke as a program. The wrestling program would improve the football program.

People are saying former HC John Worley is coming back to the program in some capacity as an assistant. Time will tell.

I knew the dad but not Allen. Certainly not a big time hire at all. Did Hickory hire a yes man who understood the political and social status parents who put a lot of pressure on coaches to play their sons. Let's hope not or it will be more of the same. Best of luck to the Red Tornados and hopefully a return to the years of glory when money and pressure didn't dictate a starting position.

Hate to see HHS take such a large tumble is such a short amount of time. Don't really know anything about AW, but if Godevilsgo says he's a mediocre higher, have to believe his knowledge of HHS to be accurate.

mediocre is being kind. I know he didn't have a lot to work with at Draughn but I
saw nothing that impressed me. Good luck to Hickory!
