And on a field goal at that. That kicker is going to have a good weekend.

Last night's game reminded of the playoff game against Brevard back in 1978, won on a field goal in that game too. Anyway, that was the year Watauga went on to become State 3A Champs. Could history repeat itself?

I’m a Freedom grad and fan, but hoping Watauga can get the state championship, they have an excellent team and they beat an excellent team versus Sun Valley.

I was impressed with the way Sun Valley handled the cold, saw them versus Freedom, they’re a great team and play in a legit conference.

I have enjoyed watching high school far more than college this year, feels like the only genuine version of the sport these days. Although I know that’s not totally true in some places.

Go Watauga!

Heard weather might impact it. As in, maybe having to move time or date. Hopefully not location.

Snow in the forecast Thursday night and Friday. Temps hovering in the low 30s. Depends on how they feel the roads will do.

I was at this game in 1978. My brother-in-law was a DL/OL for Brevard. Brevard hosts Maiden Friday in the 4A semi-final.

My brother and I were at the game too, I had just gotten out of the Air Force and was attending Lees-McRae (2 year college at the time). My brother's - brother-in-law was playing for Watauga at the time, a receiver. The following week Watauga won the State 3A championship.
