They've done it again! The Young Tornadoes of the junior varsity closed out yet another 10-0 season by defeating a good Bunker Hill team by the score of 36-22.Freshman tailback Quai Linebarger scored a pair of touchdowns on runs of six and 10 yards to lead Hickory in scoring. He has made a nice comeback from an injury suffered in the Bandys game. He is set to be the feature running back for the JV in 2009.
Also scoring touchdowns for the Red Tornado offense were sophomore tailback T.J. Wimbush and freshman quarterback Kyle Johnson.
Hickory's other score came courtesy of linebacker Mikey Payne. The sophomore, who is also the starting tight end, used his receiver's hands to snag a Bunker Hill pass and return it 35 yards for a touchdown. Nothing more exciting than a stylish pick-6.
For the record, Hickory's junior varsity has now won 66 games in a row. "The Streak" dates back to October 3, 2002 and a big victory over R-S Central. The last time Hickory JV lost a game was on September 28, 2002 in a Saturday makeup game down at Crest. I remember thinking at the time that Hickory had been screwed by the refs. I still do. Go figure!
The loss that day snapped Hickory's 19-game winning streak that had started in the middle of the 2000 season. Hickory has won 85 of its last 86 games.
