WTF??? A team like south point? South point could beat most if not all of the teams in this area. I agree that these "county rival" games are not even worth playing, however they do bring large gates, and through most normal years, can be somewhat competitive. I think you must realize that these last few hibriten teams have been exceptions to the norm. I also would question just whom should they play in the area, due to most teams being up and down so much. Most all contracts are for two year terms, newton was good last year, this year they are not, as well as jm robinson. Next year hibriten is "down" and the schedule will not look that much different, games will be closer and hibriten will loose some games. Still hibriten chooses to scrimmage the south points, and crests of the world and i know hibriten fans would love to get to play shelby, or maybe lincolnton, but if we had both of those are down, to standards, this year. In my opinion we need to be in a different conference, might be good for football but not for other sports. Hibriten does not dominate the conference in all sports, not even close, so its all give and take, we just see it from a fan standpoint, and for most of us its all about football.
I agree 100% that Hibritens schedule is extremely weak and that's why I can see a team like South Point knocking them off. As many good teams as there are in this area it's ridiculous that they continue to play against those county schools. I get that they're rival games but you're not getting any better beating the breaks off west and south Caldwell every year. Regarding the Rams future schedule, if I were you guys I'd push to add a team like Dudley to the schedule and I'd really like to see you guys and Thomasville get a series going.[/QUOTE
