My Dad worked at Hickory Tavern High School for a year or two around 1970. I believe the districts were separate then, but I'm not sure.

 

[Htavern]

HT closed as a high school after 1971 school year. Still has k-8 grades.
To Cock of Earl - I am a Boiter boy:

I went to school there 1 year. That was Buck Mahon? If so, his son was in my class.

 

[Htavern]

This is Jim . Who are you Cock of Earle?

 

[Htavern]

Speaking of Bucks, his son Mike now owns the lot and runs it much as Buck did. You may be thinking of his youngest son Tim who was bringing in used BMW’s in a separate operation.

Tim used to supply me with poker machines years ago.

 

[Spinal Tap]

Are you talking about Tim?

Yep. Thanks.

 

[Htavern]

Had no idea that was you. Always enjoyed your posts. Been lurking on this site since the Rusty the Rooster days but rarely post.
Mike S. and I recently talked to D. Tyler.

I was somewhat shocked @ our 50th when Tyler kept bringing up the GHS & Carolina dayz in front of his wife
She must have thought I was a druggist

They were our rivals although we got along with most of them individually. It was the institution we had a problem with.

 

[Htavern]

It seems Cock of Earle is trying to rekindle long gone rivalries

 

[Htavern]

Ford was the mill village school. We were the school way out in the country in the far western part of the county.
The good people of Lauren’s were horrified by both of us.

Back in the day I recall Hickory Tavern, Ford used to be really good in division A high school football. Really good teams I remember. Ford I remember one year had a really good team and lost their first game of the year to Thornwell who was always good in A high school football. Ford scored in the last minute of the game and decided to go for 2 points to win, but the 2 point conversion failed and Thornwell won 21-20. Classic high school football game from the early 70's. Ford did go on to win the division that year with one loss. Ford, Hickory Tavern, Thornwell, Lockhart always had good small high school football teams. Of course all those small schools are no longer. Those were some good high school football teams back in the days of the early 70's.
