This was a well played game by both team's. I think the depth of the Bird's just took to much out of the Bred's. This will benefit the Bred's playing the larger schools during their freshmen year. I just can't see a 1a or a 2a freshmen squad competing with this group.

I understand, however, with game in hand I would run out the clock by taking a knee.

 

Really!!!!! When was the last time NCC had the chance to run the clock out on Highlands. That's a pretty bold statement you made.

I was thinking the same back in 79'. I played in this game and I really feel that one play changed our season.

Actually there was 1:37 left on the clock with Highlands having 2 timeouts left, and it was 2nd down.

 

I know the look only 2 well, I was on that sideline. I was taken out the play earlier, to get a senior in the game at RB, so that he could be part of the game. Probably the most frustrating loss I have ever been associated with!

Great memory! I can't even tell you what I had for breakfast much less how much time, down, and timeouts left 29 yrs. ago. Now I remember, I haven't eaten breakfast yet. Got-a-go!

Yes it did cost them a chance for the playoff's. I think that Bob became more sportsmenlike after that game. You should have seen the look on the NC sideline after that play. At the time we had a losing record.That play was the turning point in our season. I think we ran off 8 or 9 victories in a row until we got beat by Belfry.

 

You said Belfry!!!

How old is Mr. Schneider? Does anyone have an idea? :confused:

Or maybe that the fact that Mr. Schneider won't play the varsity birds was the reason they tacked the late one on. :banana:

Amen!

 

The real reason Mr. Schneider won't play the Birds is that his team got pummeled every time they played. :sssh:

You were 1-2 going into that game. You lost to Boone and Lloyd immediately after that; but then won seven straight, up until the Belfry debacle.

Boom, I believe that was the 78 football season!!!:dancingpa

Amen!

Birdsfan, actually the teams in the 70's were a great rivalry. '74 NC won, 75 H won, 76 NC won, 77 H won, 78 NC won and 79 H won!!! Bring it back!!!

I couldn't tell you what I had for breakfast either. I can tell you almost every detail of every NC vs Highlands game I played in.

 

I rehashed that game so many times over the years, including discussions with some of the NewCath coaches, that it really wasn't 29 years ago, seems more like 3 or 4

2 years younger than Moses! :laugh:

I was just going through the old records and noticed that. Up until the late 70's it was pretty much dead even at like 5-5. The series now stands at 22-7.

Question for NCC folks: Did Brossart's FB program have any bearing on the #'s for this year's squad? I was told that several FB players had not ever played before last night.
