Tyree Rhinehardt on his way to paydirtThe Young Tornadoes maintained their lead in a tight conference race by whipping the Tiger Kittens 40-14 in their own stadium. Quarterback Michael Helms had a good night throwing the football. He found Steven Davenport on a 14-yard touchdown pass and later hit Ciani Vega for a 46-yard score.
The ground attack wrecked the Foard defense from the beginning. After Hickory gave up a quick touchdown on Foard's opening drive of the contest the Tornado backs began running it right down the Tigers' throats. T.J. Wimbush had a big night and scored a touchdown. Also scoring rushing touchdowns for Hickory were Kyle Johnson, Casey Stinson and Tyree Rhinehardt.
The offensive line did well despite the loss of center Deangelo Morzon, who has been moved up to the varsity squad. Congratulations to Deangelo! And congratulations to his replacement, freshman Trey Huffman. Trey did a fine job in his first start and the O-line squad didn't miss a beat. I also noticed that another freshman, Torian Powell, started at right tackle. I'm not sure if that was his first start but I'm glad to see him continuing to improve.
The defense had a good night, despite giving up 14 points. Inside linebacker Michael Payne abused the Tigers on several occasions. The entire linebacker corps of Payne, Alex Williams, Jake Meade and Kyle Johnson is both mobile and hostile. I'd also like to praise the rest of the defense: line stalwarts Ryan Tyree, Perry Moore, Jordan Williams and Tyree Rhinehardt; cornerbacks Steven Davenport and Shaquan Reid and safety Dametrius Lewis.
Hickory's record is now 4-0 in the CVAC and 5-0 overall. The win was the JV's 61st consecutive and 80th in the last 81 games. Next week the Young Tornadoes will return to Frank Barger Stadium to host the very dangerous Red Devils of Newton-Conover.
Williams, Johnson, Payne and Meade attack!
