Pender, Hobbton set state high school football scoring record; Patriots beat Wildcats 106-83
BURGAW — Pender and Hobbton lined up for a football game last Friday, but a basketball-like scoring game broke out.
Pender exploded for a 106-83 victory in a nonconference matchup as the teams combined to shatter the previous state record for combined points in a game with 189.
The contest didn’t even go four quarters as it ended with just over a minute left in regulation as the field lights at Pender shut off.
Pender (4-3) led 40-29 after the first quarter and 54-49 at halftime and then outscored Hobbton 16-14 in the third quarter to take a 70-63 lead before the fourth quarter saw another scoring explosion with Pender taking it by a 36-20 score.
Hobbton (3-4) was part of the previous state record as well, set in the first week of the 2021 season when it lost 80-73 to Midway as the teams combined for 153 points. In week two of that season, the Wildcats came within a point of tying the record in a 90-62 win over Trask.
