Schedule
Bunker Hill vs East Lincoln (there won't be much to see here except TD after TD for East. Will East have mercy for Bunker?)

Hickory at North Lincoln (struggles will continue for North. Easier teams are on the horizon for North.)

Foard at Maiden (Not much to see here. Maiden will enjoy homecoming festivities before starting to play harder teams the rest of the schedule)

Bandys vs Newton Conover (Game of the week. Can Newton compete with Maiden and Bandys for the top 4A team? Not sure if either defense can stop the offense. Brady sweet may be too much though. Hopefully we get a good game. )

West Iredell - bye

Lincolnton bye, I mean vs Highland Tech (just need to stay healthy for showdown with Shelby in a couple weeks.)

Standings
East Lincoln (5-0), (3-0)
Hickory (4-1), (3-0)
Maiden (4-1), (3-0)
West Iredell (4-1), (2-1)

Bandys…wouldn’t be surprised to see this go the other way. I dread Maiden playing either one of ‘em….cant wait to see it though.😉

With Newton they really comes down to mindset are they in a slump with those two losses and it's screwing with their head now like almost every year. Bandy's offense is great but let's be honest defense not so great and Newton's fast and can score. Honestly with both these teams it comes down to mental

Fooball season is flying by. Dang near almost over and just started. We kinda know the direction of the teams by now except maybe with Newton. Picks fairly easy but not as easy as this past week. Give my shot at it:

East Lincoln: why even play the top skill set starters and risk anything. Seen fine players go down when game is decided (Trent Hopkins NL against Bessmer city and Zac Pollard South Caldwell against West Caldwell)...just saying lol

Hickory: A far far cry from last years playoff game. Still waiting on anyone to say how long the injured QB for North will be out. This will be as ugly as last weeks game I'm sure

Bandys: I still got faith in a team thats had big time JV seasons 2 and 3 years back. Be a close one but hoping Newton will show me something with the tallent thats said to be on that team

Maiden: no problem but can Maiden give them a goose egg.

Lincolnton: coach could play the JV bench to make it interesting, probably still have to let up on hammer.

I’ll deal with you ☝️when I get back. right now I’m busy making a grocery list, then I’m going over to a certain store before the sliders get there; don’t really wanna say the name of the store, but it rhymes with y’all Mart.

Slider= One who gets out of bed, goes straight to y’all mart in PJ’s and bedroom shoes. Once there don’t bother to take steps, just slides their feet across floor, Stopping once I awhile to yell at accompanying persons, or cuss store associates, buys shopping cart full of beer, yells at aforementioned persons, again, and leaves.

You know, given that the Waltons are from Arkansas, "Y'all Mart" is really what the chain should be called.

SPORTSNUT, when I got back from getting groceries, I logged on in the first thing I saw was your screen name. My first thought was that. The slider comment might’ve crossed the line, or he had had all he could stand of my constant old person babbling… Glad you liked it.:)

The Patriot, you make a good sensible point. Thanks for the support.

NOW, Mr. Troublemaker, AMD. Looks like you’ve focused that keen wit of yours on us neighborly Lincolnton sorts…So you want to know why someone would come here to play football, well, I’ll just take a leaf out of your notebook, “It’s a nice community.”
About the other part, LMAO, I think you’re almost as warped as I am. :ROFLMAO:

Side Note: If I could mention one other thing about shopping. Have Recently noticed a very large tract of land being cleared and graded. Had asked a friend if a new plant is being built there, he informed me that it was a Target store…Would you like to know where it’s being built? DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM Y’ALL MART.
I’ve tried to imagine what this is going to look like from Thanksgiving through Christmas. All the cars parked in the lots would go over the horizon, and the traffic would be an amazing site to see. I believe that we have a reasonably good chance to replace Istanbul Turkey as the traffic jam capital of the world. In a low voice, People will ask themselves, "Where do they all come from." Got to say though, the city government always seems to handle things.

It’s amazing how Target and Y’all Mart are usually very close as is Home Depot and Lowes.

I'm a pretty easy-going guy and there's a lot that I'll let slide, but some things cry out for a response (in the name of the great "boogie woogie" man himself, Jimmy Valiant):

East Lincoln at Bunker Hill: The Bears will have to take it on the chin, once more. East is a scoring machine. Mustangs by 28.

Hickory at North Lincoln: If the Knights are healthy they could have their moments, but moments are all. The Tornadoes, or the Mustangs could be title contenders, this year. Hickory by 28.

Foard at Maiden: Tough night for the Tigers… Blue Devils by 21.

Highland Tech at Lincolnton: Frankly, I have a lot of respect for the Rams. Everybody beats up on them, and sometimes, unfortunately, things get carried to the extreme, and I surely hope we are not one of the teams that does it… Hats off to those players, staff and fans who have the school spirit to offer their support and efforts…Lincolnton by 30.

Newton-Conover at Bandys: Definitely Flyrod’s game of the week, couldn’t be no other…Glad to see the Red Devils doing better, but to me, The Trojans are a very dangerous team, and are headed for a major showdown in their own backyard with Maiden, a game that could certainly have late season ramifications. Bandys by 10.

*Picks are in bold.

PostScript: I saw where GrizzlyDevil said something like, we are concerned with beating Foard, right now; and a wise person would do just that and take things one game at a time.

The reason I say this, I mentioned the Maiden at Bandys game. Maybe I’m looking at this wrong, but suppose, when they play, one of the two teams were to have a bad night or is missing key players who might be recovering from injuries that wouldn’t end their season.

Isn’t it possible the losing team could redeem itself later, in the playoffs ? Sure, that is possible for any team in certain classifications, but this scenario is different.

Now, I have to confess, the reason for pondering this, it’s because I believe The Blue Devils can beat the Trojans, yes, I say they have what it takes. I also believe the Trojans can beat the Blue Devils, and I’m convinced they have what it takes as well.

Suppose, where I’m going with this is that, is it not more than possible and even likely, these two will face each other again in the playoffs, considering that they are both strong teams, this year.

Well call me and tell me who it is. I figure one way or the other we’ll catch flack from it.

@Lincolnton, perhaps if you played patty-cake with those “sliders” like you do these babbling buffoons from The Biggest Little Nothing-ville, USA you might find your obligatory trips to “Y’all Mart” a little less stressful.
Click to expand...
No, Prodigal, The hard nose approach doesn’t work for me. I do instigate some, but I’ll leave front line battles to younger quicker minds like yours.

About being good to the Maiden guys, it’s a personal thing, they were good to my old man, who was more like you, than me, and on top of that I like them.

About the sliders, it isn’t safe to approach them. Generally speaking, their dope hasn’t kicked in yet, cause they’ve jumped straight out of bed and hurried to that store in question, and get there 15 minutes before it closes. You never know what they might do. Couple of years ago, at another grocery store, one got stuck in the foyer, when the doors jammed. An old woman, another old man and me were stuck, there too. The slider told us we would be trapped there forever, and began to hyperventilate, and fell over. EMS had to be called.

About the stress, I’m going to say this to you in Lincolnton backstreet: If you took the route I have taken in life, you’re too ******* numb to be stressed out.
