Chase @ Reidsville

Chase is much improved this year for sure. You could see them turning that corner this past spring. But I really don't see Chase being ready for this kinda game yet. Chase may keep it close for a while but Reidsville will eventually be too strong.

42-14 Reidsville

Chase brings a big time ground game to the rams.
Marqies McCombs, a 5-10, 180-pound junior, looks to be the top man the Rams will have to chase. He has 2602 yards rushing this year with 36 TDs. Three of those TDs and 194 of the rushing yards came in the playoff opener.
The week before that in the 41-29 win over R-S Central he carried the ball 46 times (according to MaxPreps) and gained 338 yards and scored 6 TDs. Earlier this year he had 362 yards and 5 TDs against McDowell.
In the loss to Hendersonville, he still piled up 251 yards rushing.
Season low output was 110 yards.

Found this from last July on 247Sports.com:
Concord, NC - Over 200 prospects showed up to compete at the VTO All American Challenge this past weekend in the Charlotte area of North Carolina. The athletes went through combine testing, individual drills, 1-on-1's, a 7-on-7 tournament, and a lineman challenge. 247Sports was on hand to check out all of the action during the two-day event at West Cabarrus High School. There were also a couple of extra events including the strongest athlete contest, fastest man contest, and the quarterback challenge.
McCombs was one of the running backs listed.
 
Chase has a damn good Coach in Cogdill. He will have them as prepared as they can be. RB has a ton of attention but Derisma on D is nothing to look past either. One players stats may get national attention but they didn’t make it here without 11 doing their job. As I said before, I’m interested to see how these two matchup. I saw Reidsville on film vs McMichael. I’m still interested.

A one dimensional running team has no chance against Reidsville
 
How’s reidsville defensive front ? that’s what gives chase the advantage for marqies the running room. They are really big up front and wear teams down. Chase can throw the ball but chooses not to really ... no need in most games.
Reidsville better win because if they get beat .... Shelby will NEVER let them live it down cause Chase has never beaten Shelby .... EVER ... like 0 for 56 (I think) 😂

I honestly just don't see what I guess others see in Chase. They have an all-state RB yes, but that's it. I mean look at who they've played. The only good team they played they got blasted.

You are not wrong really... if you look at our game against chase it was a really close game at halftime and then after half we fell apart and then the score got bad. Having 27 kids and most playing both ways hurts .... no excuse tho
This game should not be close really and I don’t think it will be

The computer models will have Reidsville favored by 2 TDs or less.

If there is to be an upset in the second round 2A West, this would be where I would look.

The Rams defensive line and linebackers are the weakest link in the Reidsville arsenal. A strong running game that can control the clock and keep the Rams lethal offense off the field will give Reidsville fits.

That said, beating the Lee to Flippen/Peoples passing attack on Jimmy Teague field at Community Stadium is a mighty tall order for any team.

Should be a good one.

Mule, I don’t think the defensive line and linebackers are much different than last season. The big difference is that it’s no rankin on the defensive front. Now, if Tamir Johnson were in the lineup that would make a huge difference

Coach Teague and his staff made a few key changes about 3 or 4 games ago. O line and moved a few people around on the d line. TGT can you look back and see what our defense has allowed after the Andrew's game until now and also look at how much more efficient our running game has improved.
I thought we were very suspect until those changes. I think you'll see improvements on both sides of the ball.

I'll try to look into that ... but a lot of golf to be played this week so my time is limited.
