Hibritens JVs travel to Maiden tonight. Should be a good ballgame.
Western Foothills 4A/5A - Week 8
- Thread starter Flyrod
- Start date
We're missing 6 starters...idk about a good game
When I left…Hibriten was up 40 to 12.
Yes. 7 starters actually. 4 lineman, 2 wrs, 1 lb/rb. Concussions and ankles. 4 in the past week.
No glory in 2nd place so gotta throw some hail Marys to try to catch up to first. So picks with * are my hail mary shots against my better judgement
Bandy's* I think without swett they probably lose to North Lincoln with burns back. But I'm hoping with both teams allergic to defense bandy's can pull out a shoot out.
Hickory with a running clock West iredell offense just isn't capable of playing against top tier teams.
Newton over the real bears aka Conference doormats.
East Lincoln will roll like an ecstasy trip
Lincolnton* Shelley probably wins no problem but I need a hail Mary so hope the wolf pack can pull it off

Got my doubts on NL even with Bandys QB out. Theyre feeling the burn of massive senior/tallent/coach exit and appears wont get any better for a while so discouragement may be on the minds however the history between these 2 teams are crazy close games.
I tell ya a team that used to really stink that hasn't really went through anything like this for a real long time no matter who and how many graduates: Watauga. One school in the county may have something to do with that among other things I guess lol. Everyone else has a down year here and there then bouces back like not much happened- like EL.
Appears EL should remain steady, Newton on the rise, Bandys will be ok and so so. Foard and BH, dang. Cinderella seasons and then droughts. Lincolnton will be Lincolnton and has pushed up from the ashes, good job. Thats my rant.

Looking at the classifications guys I really dont see too many getting in the way of Maiden in the playoffs. Looking good. Let me know of one that may be a brick wall for them come 3rd or 4th round.
Watauga might actually take 6A. Freedom might get to the 3rd round.
Rough for EL, maybe 3rd round.

We have a pretty good JV team. We haven't had to bring any under classmen up this year which has greatly helped.
We have a few that are on the edge of "you could be varsity" but there is some growing up to do before they do that...talent wise they could compete and play...mentally they aren't there.
One problem we have this year on JV that I haven't seen in years...personally never been around it...is that there are kids that will literally do what they want, the way they think it should be done, and act like they misunderstood you haha. i.e. sending in a formation and play and they decide they don't like it and literally call a different play in their little huddle.

@GrizzlyDevil You ask and you shall receive
Western Foothills Conference
"Together in Victory"
October 10th, 2025 - colorized
Yes. He looks good...you can tell he isn't full sprint but his arm works just fine.
Bandys scores late in the second on a broken play. 27-15 Bandys almost halftime.
AMD was correct, after 3 HHS 52 West Iredell 8.
Final with the 6th running clock this season.
I guess I didn't type that one but I called a running clock so u know I picked hickory to win
No need. We know Hickory is taking care of business. Alot of what I said bout teams and how they are I was talking bout future tense as well how they will be ok or not ok as in next year and year after. I shoulda said something lol. My bad
I didn’t watch a game, been here with boys at house and I watched a live stream of Voice of Hope tent revival service taking place in China Grove and man….several saved tonight. I wasn’t sure I was so PTL I got it settled tonight. Y’all pray for me
