Grandview's Daniel Davis hands off to Shaquille SmithThis time last season both of Hickory's middle schools were undefeated and headed towards a showdown for both the county and city championships. Northview ultimately won the 50th Annual All-American City Class to cap a 7-0 season. Grandview finished second in the league with a 6-1 record.
This season both teams have suffered a loss but are still in the thick of the championship race.
The Grandview Eagles wiped out the Jaguars of Jacobs Fork Middle at home by the score of 38-12. Shaquille Smith had another good game running ball as he racked up 104 yards and a pair of touchdowns on just 11 carries (9.5 yards per carry). Joining in the scoring parade were Jordan Lockhart, Craig Ruff and Shakeed Washington. Quarterback Daniel Davis had a good day as well. He passed complete for three two-point conversions, twice to Ruff and once to Tony Nguyen.
Meanwhile, the Northview Hawks have bounced back nicely after having their 15-game winning streak snapped by Arndt a couple of weeks ago. Last Wednesday the Hawks inflicted a convincing 42-8 beatdown on the Riverbend Pirates. I don't have stats for them but Hawk tailback Corey Stinson, just a 7th-grader, has been running all over opponents this season. Yes, he is the younger brother of the JV's freshman phenom Casey Stinson. The win upped Northview's record to 5-1 overall and 4-1 against league opponents.
Grandview and Northview are both chasing undefeated Mill Creek for at least a share of the county title. Grandview's only loss this season was to the Green Knights. Northview can shake up the race this Wednesday when the Hawks host Mill Creek.
Northview's Zach Jarrett looks to pass
