I don't think Reidsville has had anybody 6-9 or taller since 1962-63 when they had 6-11 Paul Hudson, who went on to play some at N.C. State. Reidsville's state championship teams in 1994 and 2003 relied on speed, depth and defense.
yep...that was a special BB team....I believe they beat you guys at regional game at Hickory High School right.....ended up having to beat Burlington Cummings from our own conference in that regional final...schools 25 miles apart had to travel 2 to 2 and half hours to play each other........lol...................that was actually in March of 2003....Rams went on to win state 2A title....the same school year (fall of 2002) they won the state 2AA football title...........
The biggest emotional roller coaster in that game was for the members of the Fantastic Four who left early and couldn't get back in the gate when we pulled off the miracle lol.
for those who don;t know what we're talking about....the 33 sec. video is on youtube....."miracle in the mud".....Reidsville vs. Newton Conover 2006 3rd round game...Reidsville trailed 29-24...no timeouts less than 30 seconds.....All N-C had to do was kneel down.....watch the video.............Reidsville wins 30-29....2 pt. try was no good but Rams win anyway..................
That game taught me to never leave a game (I always stayed until the very end regardless) early. Who cares about beating the traffic out anyways right? I was in the stands for that game but that was an epic memory.
Hooper's jump shot was silky smooth. I still can't believe he didn't play big time ball in the ACC somewhere. That team had a two platoon system that was just fun to watch. They literally came at you in waves. Jerome Simpson could also jump out of the gym. Very proud of my senior class to win the 2AA Football Title and 2A Basketball Title. Has any other high school done that since? Or ever?
oh yeah it's been done in NC before but it's a rare thing...................
I doubt if Coaches come to watch them be decoys. Show the coaches why they should offer them. Put Trey Canada in MT Heritage offense and he’s one of the best back in the state and possibly the country. He has outstanding grades and can catch and run out the backfield D1 schools would be knocking down the door to get him. WInston Salem St offered him because they know they’re getting a steal. He runs just like the RB they had this past season who had originally committed to Duke coming out of high school but didn’t have the grades. He’s now has a Pro day.
lol.....can you imagine Canada (Reidsville back) and Autrey (MH back) in the same backfield???
a teacher at RHS told students tickets would be $10. Kids started complaining saying if that’s the case then their number of supporters would decrease cause no one would wanna pay that.
And came in second to one of the Rowan schools for the track&field championship.
One or two of those 3 less carries he may have broke for a long one.
Time will tell want it
Well that can’t be totally true cause plenty of fast and quick skilled players has come through Reidsville and got no Athletic Scholarship offer. Hard to display quickness and skill if your not targeted enough. Besides Go look at the stats of players that has offers and tell me their stats don’t stick out. Rashad Slade had Stats- Offer from app, Jerome Simpson had Stats- offer from Coastal Carolina, Raphael Chestnut had stats- offer from Duke, Julius Graves had Stats- offer from James Madison, Wayne Blackwell had stats- North Carolina Central Isaiah Robinson had Stats - offer from North Carolina. Jayron Rankin had Stats as a runningback- offer from North Carolina Central but choose Winston-Salem St to play linebacker. The more you are targeted the more you get to display your speed and quickness. So your claim of only looking for speed and quickness isn’t true. By the way Travion Canada Is better runningback than Jayron Rankin was,Travion is fast quicker and more elusive so why did Jayron have a D1 offer in his hands and Travion don’t. Go back and look at the stats from Jayons last 3 years then go back and look at Travion stats his last 3 years. So you may say “you should know you spent the last 50 years trying to get them to sign Reidsville players “but go back and look at the history and everyone had the stats to get their speed and quickness displayed more.
