(14-0) East Duplin vs (13-1) North Davidson 2AA EASTERN CHAMPIONSHIP

[By the Fence]

Pizza Village is pretty good and not a chain but they no longer serve steaks.

Duffs is on Main Street and has country cooking and a grill. It's not bad.

Highway 55 is also on Main but is a chain. It's hit or miss sometimes.

Best bet depending on your route might be something off 40. Not much to choose from in the general area.

Man I love Thai, but my crowd won't eat it. If I don't leave them at home, I'll end up at Bojangles or Subway..........again.

Leave them home then. Ann's is excellent and only 1/2 mile from school.

Thomasville has been down the last few years, but they have a history that both of our programs can aspire to. I always joke that they had to make the scoreboard wider down there to list all of the state championships. They have 7, I believe.

We count 8, but don't get the anti-WNCHSAA folks riled up. lol.

 

[ocdavis31]

Did Thomasville win a game this year?

Yeah. 2-8. Probably should have been 4-6 or 5-5, but we have significant problems that aren't always about talent.

Is Rhodes grill still open? They used to have a decent flourburger there.

 

[golden one]

As far as playing a team with bigger numbers , last year Shelby played Monroe , Northside Jacksonville and Hunter Huss in the playoffs and they all had 3A numbers . It didn't matter though , Shelby beat them all . Even this game , I have a feeling that the smaller number school will win . JMO but who cares !

Oh yeah forgot Rhodes Grill. It's still there, close to the school, same type of food that Duffs has. Not bad but again, not much to choose from.

Why come on this thread and turn it into a pissing match with ED fans? You know they are going to respond and then it will be 10 pages of utter nonsense.

Surely both of you yokes have each other's contact info. Plan your evening together that way and leave it off this thread.

they must be tired of the many WRH threads already on this forum. they have nothing better to do than instigate. something some of them love to do.

Nevermind. Not worth it. Makes me look just as childish.

 

[96panther]

Then why respond at all?

You are just as childish as they are.

are you an ED fan? then really its none of your business now is it?

 

[dogs79]

ED is one of our rivals. I don't think for one moment they pulling for us. The only reason I have second thoughts is because of battle. The only time I got upset was when someone told me what not to say.

whats wrong? are you tired of posting on the 5 or 6 WRH threads on this forum?

Kinda. Everything been said over and over. SWO ain't going to beat our dogs

 

[96panther]

you WRH guys are alright with me.

i agree.

Yes. It's still there.

 

[stunt]

Rhodes did have seafood on Friday night's. MIghty tasty whole flounder.

 

[tarheelg]

Funny thing is that if ND wins the state championship,they will be considered an East team,WELCOME is no more Eastern than the man in the moon

Get used to it; ND will be right at the cut line for East/West in every sport for the next three years; most likely in football because of the subdivided playoffs, and they very well could go West in every other sport, but they are the new Randleman, who could go back and forth, seemingly in every sport, every year

 

[bknights#77]

Thats the thing. Nobody is saying anyone is "at fault" or hating on the ND contingent. they didn't want nor ask for this. This is NCHSAA bullshit.

BS seems to be something NCHSAA does well!!

 

[WRH Nub Tail]

This is just how it is for East Duplin. When we're special, we always run into something special. Willie Parker, Todd Gurley, Kendrick Burney, and finally... a 4A school masquerading as a 2A powerhouse.

This will be a tough test.

Don’t dwell on the past ED can pull this off.

 

[omega385]

What is the visitor seating like at ED. We travel well!

 

[g-dog08]

Those of you saying WRH won't pull for Ed because of a rivalry are wrong. You guys are not our biggest rival. That distinction still belongs to JK and Clinton. So I will be pulling for ED and Battle to get their much deserved title this year.

sure you will.

i have no doubt that we're good enough to make it to state and win it. will we actually do it is the question?

 

[EDPanther99]

Large. It was the home side until about 12 years ago.

Randleman's fans pretty much filled it up but they had room.

 

[tarheelg]

I can assure you it's a lot better than visitor seating would have been here at South Granville....(just ask the Reidsville people that came here in 2011)....I think North Davidson had more seats on the visitor side, or at least just as many, as South Granville has on the home side...our visitor side is a few sets of temporary bleachers moved over from behind the baseball backstop, usually 2 sets for regular season, was either 4 or 5 sets for the first two rounds of the playoffs this year....visitor seating or lack thereof is one of the major downsides of those two sports sharing a field...that and having to take down and put up one of the goalposts every year

 

[BlackKnightNut]

Well thank goodness for that. Even with a three hour ride I expect us to bring a large crowd. I was hoping it wouldn't be like Ledford. Despite the fact they're a big school their visitor side is like going to a 1A school, and that was BEFORE someone set a fire and burned a portion of it that they couldn't be bothered to fix LMAO

 

[tarheelg]

Would expect a large crowd at all games around the state this Friday night; not only visiting team's fans, but with so few teams left playing, a lot of general high school fans will show up somewhere just to see a good game (not me; wife hated to hear my team lost but glad to have me available at home on Fridays now to either help with the kids and/or make grocery runs until baseball season), whether it's at Hibriten, East Duplin, Reidsville, North Duplin, Mitchell, Tarboro, Mt Airy, SW Onslow, Western Alamance, Charlotte Catholic, AC Reynolds, New Hanover, Mallard Creek, Wake Forest, Harding, or Scotland

 

[Griddie]

Have to go with ND due to the ability to run and pass, and certainly the huge advantage in the kicking game. If ED wins I'm happy, I love their style of play and great people down there. Good luck to both teams, I will be pulling for whichever wins in the finals.

 

[Lion Attack]

Epic matchup!

 

[By the Fence]

I would check out another site's "Stadium Project" for views of the seating. Those pics are a few years old but the seating is the same.

Being that ND is use to playing in larger school stadiums the visitor seating at ED might be considered small especially if the band comes also. I am sure extra bleachers could be brought in if it was deemed necessary. ED is a small place compared to many newer schools. As someone pointed out on the other site, the concession area is small and quarters are cramped. The difference in the two stadiums are very obvious when comparing pics.

I would get there early. Saw on their website where gates are opening at 530.

i dont blame you for picking ND over us with their well balanced passing/rushing attack. im sure our boys will do everything in their power to prove you wrong.

 

[truthofda336]

I would certainly think ED would bring in additional bleachers for Friday night. This being said after viewing the visitor side on the Stadium Project website.
