Terms and Conditions


When you visit the Tornado Graveyard you can stroll among the tombstones and ponder the demise of Hickory High's opponents going back more than a decade. When I write about the Graveyard I will use certain terminology that all visitors should know.

Before the dearly departed reach their final resting place there are three types of funerals Hickory offers opponents:

Open Casket...For teams that lose to Hickory by 1-14 points. The remains are presentable enough to be on display for the faithful.

Closed Casket...For teams that lose to Hickory by 15-28 points. A mauling that leaves the remains unpresentable to the faithful.

Empty Casket...For teams that lose to Hickory by 29 points or more. An obliteration. Atomization. Nothing left to be buried, hence an empty casket.
Get your shovels ready, folk. A lot of holes will be dug this fall!
