Hickory gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Saturday. They pulled ahead with a 13-12 photo finish over the Farrell Steelers. The Hornets have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Steelers, too.
Kelvin Morrison went supernova, rushing for 200 yards and one TD while picking up 8.3 yards per carry. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 73-yard run.
When it comes to explaining why Farrell lost, don't look at Juelz Johnson. Despite the final result, he rushed for 190 yards while picking up 9.0 yards per carry. Johnson's rushing production has been exceptional as that marked his eighth straight game with at least 125 rushing yards dating back to last season. Speaking of playmakers, who could forget Jadon King-Vincent, who went all the way with a kickoff return for a touchdown.
