I wound up going 6-2 on last Friday's games. It should have been flawless. But South Caldwell wet the bed at home against Alexander Central. Then Foard crapped its pants, also at home, against St. Stephens. Wow! How much does it hurt to blow your best chance at winning a share of a conference title after 25 years of wandering in the wilderness? Just ask the Tigers.
Hey, condolences to those fightin' Tiger Squirrels!
I knew that it would be slugfest and that St. Stephens was capable of pulling an upset. But I counted on Foard's hunger for that championship to help the Tigers overcome any challenge that Saint threw at them. I wasn't expecting the Indians to shut down Foard's running game so effectively. Remember, even in a losing effort, Hickory rushed for 214 yards. The Tiger Squirrels only managed 86 yards on the ground. Remember when the Tigers were 9-1 and life was good?
