2A State Championship Northeastern/Reidsville
- Thread starter BigBird12
- Start date
Still kinda odd that they allowed first points on the board in the last three playoff games.
Rams have shut out 8 opponents and, with one huge exception, nobody else has scored more than two TDs against them. They are allowing only 8.2 points per game - throw out the 55-point East Surry game (can't do that, I know) the defensive average in the other 14 games is 4.9.
The defensive game plan they had vs west stokes is what they should have had against east surry.
So after this game, two 1AA schools can lay claim to a share of the 2A title... or maybe 3 1AA schools.
Both of you should be ashamed.
Pfffft! You're funnyeee!
Last time I checked, you strap'em on and line'em up... and it's just 11 on 11 on both sides of the ball. It doesn't matter the size of the school or town you represent... it's the talent you're gifted with, how you've grown into whatever role you're in... and it's what's in your heart. Good coaching and support system? Of course! But when it comes down to it... it's just "mano a mano". Reidsville lost. Period. They lost to a better team that night. Give East Surry their due and kudos! (I think the record shows that the Blue and Gold faithful have).
But (and I'm LAUGHING) to imply that Reidsville's season or possible championship isor would be a fraud because they lost to a 1A team? You know no-thing about football and only want to be insulting...
Be GONE with you troll!
For sure ... Reidsville made West's super receiver No. 13 a non-factor in the game.
Wait till you guys see Little Freshwater!!! He's 6'4 I believe and probably around 235ish. He's only a sophomore but is very very fun to watch!!! I have no clue about how I think this game will go but one things for sure our defense is fun to watch. We're not a boring team by no means which usually makes for an exciting game. I hope we get to see our dual qbs sling it all over the place but we'll have to wait and see. Reidsville seems to be pretty damn strong
Nope... they need to get a LOAD of Quasi in the backfield. It was so much fun watching the deep pass to him last night lol. Safeties and the CBs were scared to death having to tackle the Quazz Monzter! After that play, it raised the level of play for the whole team. Quasi is the spark plug for NE. Everyone else on the team feeds off of the power, physicality, and determination he has with the ball in his hands. Even the coaches.

Watched the few highlights that Spectrum had on their state wide h.s. program....Was Quasi the big guy that lumbered for a TD off of a pass?? That guy is huge......if so, how big??
They have a sophomore on the roster named Kaveon Freshwater, listed at 6-3 and 245.
Elizabeth City also features a big fullback - 6-foot-1, 270-pound junior Quasi Thomas. He scored in last year's game on the deflected pass that gave Elizabeth City an early 14-0 lead.

The Rams would have most likely beat the cardinals if they had of played Gosnell the same. West quarterback held the ball too long but the Reidsville defense was much improved having seen both games. To beat Reidsville you have to have a ball control team and finish drives. Not many high schools have a quarterback, running back,receivers combination like Reidsville.
Apparently he's still a growing young man ... thanks for the info
(correction made in previous post).
Me personally, I think Reidsville slept on ES. They thought this was going to be an easy game and got fooled.
Don't know about that ... Reidsville defense wasn't ready for the future ACC guys that's for sure ... but Reidsville did put up 49 points. Until Mitchell scored 28 in semifinals, East hadn't given up more than 14 all season. I was thinking after the win at Reidsville, East Surry would easily roll into the rematch with Tarboro but they've had some tough tests the last two weeks.
East Surry O is explosive as is Reidsville's.....when they played back in Sept....the Rams were nursing 42-41 lead when our back up RB fumbled on our own 20....ES took advantage and the lead.....they have some weapons...their D...not sure about...we moved it easily but we've done that on everyone....in the E/S Reidsville game the Cardinals had 584 yds. of offense and the Rams had 583.....
It's great when a team goes undefeated, but even better when a team loses a game or two and comes back stronger. All four finalists in 2A and 2AA fit that mold. All four are battle tested. Cool that the four teams are from different regions of the state (north, east, south and west).
I believe the players nor the coaches was prepared for ES offense, I saw Gosnell interview where he said “he couldn’t believe Reidsville played him in man coverage”. Gosnell is good but we made him look like a 5 star athlete. Carolina was at the game so I’m convinced We also helped him secure his scholarship with Carolina.
Exactly. I think we win with the defensive game plan from West Stokes, take nothing away from East Surry they won and deserved to win.
We had Edwards and Canada at safety most of the game vs west stokes, we needed them at safety vs East Surry. The olb spying the wr's like they did vs west stokes also.
also the old adage applies....the best pass defense is a great pass rush....Reidsville's O line has done a good job all season giving Pinnix time to pick out his corps of fine receivers....I'm sure NE will bring it this coming Sat......line must be ready.....................
Lost about half of that line from last year. Still got a solid line. Matchup to watch will be Reidsville WR’s vs Northeastern’s DB’s
Guess I was sitting under your skin for a bit

Nah... I don't have thin skin. No, I don't post very much, but I regularly read, absorb and filter through the B.S. that everyone posts here (no school is immune). What bothers me is that we've got enough nasty in our world right now. I'm sooo tired of it. It's crept into sports and sportsmanship is fading... and yeah, thankfully there ARE exceptions (I'm a glass half full kinda guy). I'm not wagging a finger at you, but I really think it begins with the guy in the mirror. We're all better than this. Nothing wrong with pride in where you're from and the team colors you wear... but can't we be gentlemen or ladies in doing so? Isn't that what we're supposed to be teaching the young men that we're cheering on on the field and on these boards?
*Here's wishing you a very Merry Christmas... and good luck to your team and everyone who cheers them on!
To bad it was a home game or I would say it was because we spent the night.
Is this the time to talk about strength of schedule? The shutouts were against teams ranked the following in the state: 266, 360, 236, 267, 364, 262, 232, and 259.
Is that really something to be proud of? Where is the great poster @Blue and Gold22 at to put you in your place for bragging about something so laughable?
Almost as bad as bragging about beating ND state a&t prep in the ship last year or beating sawburr this year.
