HobbsDailyReport.com
HobbsDailyReport.com will periodically post statistics and other items as fans begin to prepare for the high school football season in the South Fork 2A, Northwestern Foothills 2A and Northwestern 3A-4A, compiled from our vast record-keeping that began in the late 1970s.
Much of the information will be things you can only get at our FREE website, because no other media outlet in the Greater Hickory area (or really anywhere) – print or otherwise – has the ability to research like we do.
All of the information is copyrighted by HobbsDailyReport.com and can’t be re-published, reproduced or used without expressed permission – verbal or otherwise – from HobbsDailyReport.com owner Chris Hobbs.
