High Point in Hickory

Dodd has been better this year.
Hand up, I was wrong.
Need him to do this in conference play too.

Not the point of the conversation, but that's a middle school attached to the back side of LR. The high school is about a mile away from LR's campus. That's my home town and I grew up close enough I used to ride my bike up to LR and back all the time.

Talking about the game...what High Point was able to do in scoring quickly was impressive. They could get the ball up quickly and not have to get the offense set, they were much more fluid and decisive than we were. Without unreal 48% three point shooting and 73% free throw shooting, we wouldn't have had a prayer. If Kerns could get the team shooting free throws at that clip we'd win a lot of games.

I think the middle school you are thinking of is now a magnet High School for "Career and Arts" though that was actually not the high school I was referencing. I was writing about University Christian High.

The link should pull up a Google Map to walk from one HS to the other.

What was the name of the golf course in that part of Hickory? Seems like it has been gone for some years and just scanning around on Google Earth I don't even see a trace of it. It is very possible I don't remember it's exact location but I do remember riding in a car and maybe driving a few times to that course to play when much younger. The route we took was right by L-R and then a right on 5th St NE. There is a housing development along that road that on Google Maps is being built out. Maybe that was the location. I mostly played at the uber cheap course that was a neighbor to the cemetery near the Hickory Speedway. Nothing but trees there and likely hard to even walk and know at one time it was a 9 hole golf course.

Hampton Heights. They shut it down a few years ago and it’s being developed now. You’re right that’s 5th St. I grew up on 6th.

I was thinking Hampdon Heights so I was close. I am guessing that large brown patch with a few homes from Google Maps was the golf course.

All of this talk makes me want some Village Inn pizza. I was going to stop in Statesville and grab a pie and I drove right past both locations.

That was a fantastic win. I was shocked.

Not as shocked as their fans probably were.
Sure they thought they had it won.
