WELCOME TO HOBBS DAILY REPORT

WELCOME to Hobbs Daily Report, a sports website we hope you will visit often to follow sports in the region for the latest results, schedules, standings and other news from area high schools, Lenoir-Rhyne University sports, the Hickory Crawdads, Catawba Valley Community College and other sports news you’d like the general public to be able to read about (send items to hobbsdailyreport@gmail.com).

At the high school level, the site is currently focused on the Southern District 7 Athletic 2A, Northwestern 3A-4A, South Mountain Athletic 2A-3A and North Piedmont 3A-4A. Come August, with statewide realignment on the horizon, the primary leagues followed will be the South Fork 2A, Northwestern Foothills 2A and the Northwestern 3A-4A.
