Shaquan Reid approaching warp speedFor the first time since 1996 a Hickory football team traveled to Morganton for a game. The last time it happened, September 27, 1996, the Red Tornado varsity spanked previously undefeated Freedom by the score of 33-14. Of course the Red Tornadoes spanked everybody that year.
Last Thursday night it was the undefeated Tornado JV's turn to bring home victory. Mission accomplished!
Sophomore tailback T.J. Wimbush continued his rampage through the CVAC, ringing up a pair of touchdown runs of 16 and 20 yards respectively. But he had some friendly competition from Shaquan Reid. The freshman speedster also scored two touchdowns, each from 14 yards out. Keep in mind that Reid is a starter at cornerback but is just one of several reserve running backs for the Young Tornadoes. Another backup, Dalvin Parson, got his first touchdown run of the season. Also scoring was sophomore fullback Jake Meade.
The win was Hickory JV's 63rd in a row and also its 82nd out of the past 83 games going back to the middle of the 2000 season. The win also maintained Hickory's slim lead in the CVAC championship chase, one game ahead of Bunker Hill. With showdown looming in three weeks with the Bears, Hickory must first travel to Lenoir this coming Thursday for a tough game with the Hibriten Panthers. The last two Hickory-Hibriten encounters have gone down to the wire. This week's game probably won't be any different. Hibriten beat Newton-Conover, 34-13, to improve its record to 5-2 overall and 4-2 in the CVAC.
GO HICKORY!!
