One of the most explosive moments from Round 3 came late in the matchup between Maiden and Newton-Conover, when Blue Devils DB Kierian Shaw (#4) delivered a collision heard across Gurley Stadium.

Midway through the drive, Red Devils playmaker Naiym Robinson (#2) caught the ball in stride along the sideline — but before he could turn upfield, Shaw closed the gap with elite speed and unloaded a textbook, full-force sideline hit that sent Robinson flying out of bounds.

It was clean, violent, and perfectly timed, the kind of playoff hit that shifts energy in an instant and reminds everyone what's on the line in November football.

A signature moment from a rivalry that never disappoints.

ROUND 3: THE HIT OF THE NIGHT

Three weeks ago, in Week 10, the Red Devils and Blue Devils delivered one of the wildest games of the season — a sudden-death double overtime classic that came down to a missed extra point and a final, heart-stopping stand.

Maiden came out swinging early, but Newton-Conover found their rhythm late, forcing overtime and ultimately walking away with a victory that stunned the conference and set the stage for something bigger.

Tonight, that moment comes full circle.

These two teams meet again — this time in Round 3 of the NCHSAA Playoffs.
Win, and you advance.
Lose, and the season ends.

Before they clash under the lights at Gurley Stadium, relive the last time Red met Blue… and the battle that sparked a rematch the entire district has been waiting for.

Before Round 3: Revisiting the Week 10 Double OT Classic

In this exclusive short from our full sit-down with Don Patrick, we revisit the evolution of playoff football in North Carolina. Patrick reflects on how the postseason once felt more exclusive — with just 16 teams, two per conference — and how expansion to 36 teams and now 48 in 2025 has reshaped the game.

He explains how this change wasn’t handed down from executives, but voted on by the coaches within the NCHSAA — a decision that, in his eyes, has softened the competitive edge that once defined high school football.

A look back at the “Glory Days,” when earning a playoff berth truly meant surviving the gauntlet.

Passing the Torch | TRIPLE: Keepers of the Flame

Opening night in Newton-Conover was more than just a football game—it was a night of remembrance. The Red Devil community gathered to honor legendary Head Coach Nick Bazzle and his 2008 State Championship team, a golden era in program history. Now retired, Bazzle watched from the stands as his son, Matt Wilson, took the helm as head coach, tasked with rebuilding the program from the ground up.

Across the field stood Hickory’s Joe Glass—a coach whose philosophy was shaped by studying leaders like Bazzle. Under his guidance, the Red Tornadoes have become one of the most competitive and polarizing teams in the league. And on this night, Hickory stormed through with unstoppable force, defeating Newton-Conover 42–14.

What was meant to be a night of celebration became a sobering reminder: the road to redemption will not be easy. But in high school football, victories aren’t only measured in championships. They’re found in the lessons of perseverance, brotherhood, and raising young men to face life beyond the fiel
