Poll: Will the Reidsville Offense Score on the Shelby Defense This Year?

Will Rams offense score on Golden Lions defense?

  • YES

The past two years the Golden Lions defense has totally dominated the Rams offense, allowing zero TDs.

Assuming Shelby and Reidsville meet in the 2015 playoffs, which is a pretty good possibility, will the Rams offense finally score on the Golden Lions defense?

2015 Southeastern 4A Conference Pre-season Predictions

1. Scotland, 5-0 conference, 10-1 overall
2. Pinecrest, 4-1, 9-2
3. Richmond Senior, 3-2, 7-4
4. Lumberton, 2-3, 7-4
5. Hoke County, 1-4, 2-9
6. Purnell Swett, 0-5, 3-8

Scotland will win its fifth consecutive Southeastern 4A Conference title. If the Fighting Scots are possibly challenged, then, they could be challenged by Pinecrest. This could be the Patriots best team in school history. But, I am sure lots of folks haven't forgot what happened two years ago in Laurinburg when these two teams met.

Richmond Senior is in a "transition phase" this season with its new coaching staff. Seven regular season wins may be too generous of a prediction.

Lumberton will maintain the top of the bottom tier of the league and may challenge one of the first tier teams. Hoke County and Purnell Swett will be fighting to stay out of the conference cellar.

2015 Cape Fear Valley 3A Conference Pre-season Predictions

1. Terry Sanford, 6-0 conference, 11-0 overall
2. Gray's Creek, 5-1, 9-2
3. Southern Lee, 4-2, 7-4
4. Lee County 3-3, 7-4
5. Union Pines 2-4, 6-5
6. Douglas Byrd, 1-5, 2-9
7. Westover, 0-6, 0-11

Terry Sanford will repeat as Cape Fear Valley Conference champions, but they will get a strong challenge from Gray's Creek and it's strong rushing attack. I think this game will definitely be the key game for the conference title.

Southern Lee will beat its neighborhood rival, Lee County for third place in the conference. Union Pines comfortably holds the fifth place spot in the league, while Douglas Byrd and Westover will still suffer through growing pains and fight to stay out of the conference basement.

HP Central @ North Davidson August 21

Gotta chance to check out my alma mater High Point Central at the Dudley scrimmage, the Bison in my honest opinion looked like they needed the most to work on out of all the teams that I saw. The offense looked like it was still trying to find its rhythm, they have some some studs in the staple though, both running backs Chavis Little and Geoffrey Wall are gonna be a tough combo to stop so the potential is there.......it's going to come down to coaching though. If they're going to try and run the same type of offense they did last year then it's going to be a long season for the Bison......the Qb they've had the past two seasons was a different animal he's gone now. They're going to have to simplify things for the young Qb they have now, do some roll outs, get the young man on the move and the ball out of his hands quick, work the screen game and quick outs in the flat could be a recipe for success as far as passing goes. Ultimately the success of this team is going to come down to whether the offensive line can get some push and we can feature the running game which is the strength of the team. The defense is what it is at this point, the Dline they started at the scrimmage looked undersized to me, hopefully they can play some of those studs on the offensive line both ways and get some bulk on defense in the trenches..


But alot of work and improvement has to be made from now until next week at North Davidson if the Bison want to even have a chance to win that game against ND.

Charlotte Latin at Albemarle Scrimmage

Latin never lets me down. Very good solid team at all positions, well coached and very athletic. Albemarle was no match for their first team on either side of the ball. Their QB was out standing in all phases of the game. However when they put most of their second team in we were able to move the ball very well. I don't think we will face a team any better than Latin this season. WM, Concord and maybe Thomasville might be as good but not better.
I still like our offense. We just need to kept on keeping on and when the timing gets better I think we will be OK. This team is very young and they will get better. Think the final score was Latin 4 Albemarle 2.
OK guys lets get ready for the red dogs from Thomasville next week.

SMC picks contest!

I got tired of waiting for BK and went ahead and set this up. BK, if you want to run a pick'em, that's fine with me, since you do have first call on it. I can drop this one with no problem. But just in case you don't, let's get this thing going! :D

Thanks to tvilledawg and ObserveAndReport, this contest uses a new scoring system. You pick the number of points you want for each game (starting out with from 1 to 5 for all games), and the winner. If your team wins, you score your chosen number of points. If they lose... you LOSE that number of points. Same scoring system as Jeopardy uses. This should keep things interesting up through the end of the year.

It looks like this:

Code:
         1       5 6       10
Visitor  O O O O O O O O O O Home

There are 10 radio buttons (the O's in the diagram) between Visitor and Home, numbered 1 to 10 (that's what Google will let me do). Clicking on button #1 is a 5-point pick for the Visitors. Button #10 is a 5-point Home pick. #5 is a 1-point Visitor pick, and #6 is a 1-point Home pick. And so on....

All the SMC games will be in, and three other games: a WNC game (from the WHC, WNCAC, or MAC), a non-SMC 1A game, and OMD's Game of the Week (which scores double your point pick, from 2 to 10).

Here's the link to the Week 1 games:

I'm using Google Forms to run the contest, so you will need a Google account to play if you don't already have one (but I bet most of you do, if you use Gmail or Google Docs). If you don't have one, it's free.

Surveys are anonymous, so you have to give your Preps user name. We're working on the honor system. Only submit for yourself! :)



You only get one entry, but you can change your picks up till the deadline (which is 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of the earliest game that week).

Good luck to all players!
