If you recognize that phrase then you surely recognize the name. Jon Reep. Don't laugh! Okay, go ahead and laugh - he's a comedian. But not just any old comedian. He is Hickory's own award-winning comedian. Yes, really.
Reep, who was the winner of the Last Comic Standing competition in 2007, hails from Hickory. He did not, however, attend Hickory High. Instead, he went to Fred T. Foard and played football for the Tigers.
Even that was a comedy routine because in Reep's senior season (1989) the Tigers were perfect: 0-10. I guess down at Propst Crossroads you either learn to laugh or be prepared to cry! At least that's how it is when they have to face the Red Tornadoes...So I say we adopt the Hemi Guy as the official comedian of the Tornado Nation. Even though he was a Foard guy before he was the Dodge guy, he's a winner...and that's one thing he has in common with the Red Tornadoes.
WORD!
