Hickory 33 Seventy-first 26 f. Congratulations to Hickory for winning the 2023 3A Prep Football Championship! The Falcons were a great team also and I would never take anything away from them!! This game came down to the final seconds. Both teams are champs!!
Yo NC football is physical. Look at most states, looks more like basketball. hickory was physical as hell. That's what I like to see but that's NC football. We'll run it down your throught all night long. But Hickory played physical at every position. Congrats you boys earned it.
I go to one of the schools that had a past rivalry with hickory and my dad went there and whenever I told him that hickory made state he was ticked to death. I just found this clip and sent it to him. He’s happy to see his school make state again.
Great game overall, but there was definitely a huge difference in coaching. Hickory was playing chess, while Dudley was playing checkers. Hickory would audible based upon the look that the defense was giving them, and Dudley rarely made adjustments. Both teams had tons of talent and speed. Hickory had to overcome so many penalties that went against them, and Dudley started making late errors as well with the false starts and illegal substitutions. Hickory used Dudley's quick strike ability against them by milking the clock with their long scoring drives. Both defenses didn't play too well, and Dudley should've kicked a field goal before halftime. These two teams may see eachother again next year for sure.
As a Dudley Fan and Supporter that was the first to get on the visitors side at 5:30p.I can't find any arguments in your Assessments. I agree with 100% in what you said. Dudley had Opportunities. But Hickory game plan was perfect on offense
Hickory's QB is a junior. He will be even better next year. I am not sure of who all they lost. I am a Hibriten fan first. My boys went down in 2nd round of the 3A playoffs. We have had some rough times since winning the 2AA state championship in 2017. Anyway, Dudley had a great team and they have a great coach!! The 3A is soo stacked that it is ridiculous. 3A is the toughest class of them all.
@@ProsperVenturesInc Whoever calling the defense may not be terrible but they not great either. Those athletes been saving them but the lack of adjustments was just bad. The coaching cost them a ring.
That is state champion scrubs to you! Hickory lost 2 players total from both sides of the ball. The 2 gone weren't their top talent either! I smell a back to back state champion scrubs!!!
@@cprllm2012 2 players total? 7-8 starters off the defense graduates, specifically all 4 starting LBs..only 2 starters on the offensive line returned and number 3 who was killing in this game was a senior. They have a chance to repeat but I think they’ll lose in the west bracket this year calling it now. Seventy first and Dudley actually return more starters than Hickory.
@@PowidzMalwafalcons lost because they can’t score at any given time. Hickory offense controlled the clock and forced seventy-first to go to the air which they can’t do. “Too small” “bad defense” “weak conference” Hickory proved everyone wrong so give them the respect they earned
@@PowidzMalwa "Falcons are the better team." If only there was a way to determine who is the better team. What I'd propose is a timed contest played head-to-head against the two teams, with established rules and methods of scoring points. At the end of that contest, whichever team has the most points will be determined to be the better team. But alas, without such a way we will never know who is the better team.

@@cprllm2012 the whole teams is literally juniors which is insane!
@@jalenthompson8967 No it wasn’t, 7-8 starters on defense were seniors.
Dudley had so many chances to win smh. This game was decided by coaching and hickory coaches did a better job.
Back to back years the state champion has come from the same division, the western foothills, them city boys in shambles
Dudley under estimated them county boys and got taught a valuable lesson.
won’t een that tbh. Just Bad coaching & no real adjustments.
Nah we didn't we just missed 2 extra 2 points n a 2 point conversion lost By 1
This guy just making up his own narrative. It won’t even that, the DC just got out coached and ain’t make no good adjustments.
@@Wuncler literally, you hit the nail on the head
@@timmyturner9844 & who made the decision to go for 2 twice? Coaches right😂😂
FOKUS W/ ANOTHER BANGER! Hickory tough fr
Appreciate you my guy‼️
#1 FOR HICKORY GOT UP LIKE HE DID SOMETHING. IF THAT BALL TO #22 IS PUT ON THE MONEY GAME OVER HE WAS BEAT DEEP..
Hell yeah..he would’ve gave up that TD.
Dudley should have kicked that field goal at the end of the first half especially since they were getting the ball back at the half.
Terrible coaching decision not to take the three before half.
And going for 2 on their last touchdown
Dudley rolls the dice and its confusing but trust thier coach is not terrible.

yoo.. this is fire.
This game was wild man! One to remember for sure
Good game!
Let’s go
Dudley’s qb is ass af literally cost them
Dudley lost to some scrubs 😂

Be sure to tune into rematch next week!
71st will beat Hickory.
That's why they play the game!
@cprllm2012 I'm hoping for Falcons but yes you are right. Unless of course we are talking about Florida State. They don't even let them play the game.
@Skyla-and-steal. Falcons are the better team. Fluke loss by them.

Dudley can’t win them all, but they are by far one of the best football teams in NC… but it’s Whirlie Pride over here
