Clinton vs E.Randolph 1st Round

I think your team may have a better chance to win this game than you think. If I could see a game that y'all played I could give you an honest answer. I'm basing my opinion off of your record, and what I read from a couple other posters. Plus I think I read that you have a Tennessee commit on your team, I can assure you that that's got to be a plus. Clinton has a very good stadium and i would definitely make the trip.
If baby boy was still playing I would be there but he's a junior in college studying to make more money than me (hopefully).
I will watch it or listen to it in the comfort of my Lazyboy...

Well if we weren't playing Kinston and that how powered air attack of theirs then I'd go to that game myself. I love watching teams like Kinston that throw the ball, it makes for a much more enjoyable game.

Northeastern vs Kinston is the best game in round 1. Both teams love to air it out and with Northeastern entering as huge underdogs as the home team it should be an awesome game.

Sorry I just went back and looked at latest Top 20 rankings of NCPreps...
Your HS is just like ER in that I don't see them...
SOS or Power Rankings, which one did y'all not do well in???
Again it doesn't matter now. 16 teams in 2A playoffs and those two account for 1/8 of that...

Don't muddy up one of the few threads ER ever shows up in with this please...
Guess you would go in Walmart and talk about how Target is so much better to shop while in your pajamas huh???
C'mon man...
 
Clinton long time fans still think their 1998 team could or should have won another title...they were upset by Reidsville 34-33 in the 3rd round game played in Reidsville....One of the Top Ten high school football games I've personally witnessed in my 70 years on this earth..................
98 team was probably one of the best teams to not win a championship. Big fullback had trouble hanging on the ball that night from.what i remember. 3-4 fumbles Reidsville took advantage of that. And ultimately won the game. Hopefully we get a chance to return the favor

Post all you want...
Just try and keep it on topic if you can...
There may or may not be another thread or two about NE on here somewhere...
If not I believe I passed by a few that mentioned some teams called Rams or Lions or something like that...
Only two about ER and I started one of them...

Idk much about Eastern Randolph so if anyone has any insight or information about them by all means. Goal next week, to go 1-0. Survive and advance.
Got a few playmakers that will make it tough on you. A couple guys on defense who's motor doesn't stop.

From the limited amount I've seen I would say their weak spot is the OL. QB situation may be shakey as well. They benched the starting QB in the last game of the season, so not sure what you will see there.

I didn't say easy. I think I said it was a safe game to miss cause Clinton is not going to lose in the first round. I'll stand by that. We took a pretty good team to Clinton just a couple of years ago. I know how hard it is to win there. Those kid's take their tradition to heart. They will also be playing for a lost brother just like they did Friday night. I wouldn't like the odds of anyone going into Clinton this Friday. It's not a knock on ER and I didn't mean it to sound "easy". It may be one helluva game for 4 qtrs and 3 ot's but I think Clinton wins.
appreciate your c confidence Otis4411; I feel the same way cautiously, but you have to consider there only 4 round to the state championship this season so in comparison to past years there was no 1st round game, this Friday's game for everyone is in actuality a 2rd round game with no 1st round. My high school football fan buds always had a saying after the first round the culls are gone, so I'm not underestimating anyone. At the same time I'm confident with the Horses playing anyone in the state.

ramble, in that 1998 game the DarkHorse team were seniors of a defending back to back state championships, ranked AP#1 and undefeated. The loss probably goes down as the greatest DarkHorse team to not win a state championship. That era 1994-1988 could have very conceivable been a 5 year run for the Horses. In that 1998 game, the missed ep was awfully close (he had his like 56 straight) but our fullback fumbled 3 times within the 10 yard line One of the notable standouts Willie Parker (UNC/Pitttsburg Steelers) had 254 yards rushing, his DArkHorse game best. The DarkHorse's didnt sling it around the field much!:D.

I would rate this past Friday's Clinton win over WRH one of the Top DatkHorse games I've personally watched in 49 years. I mean it was great they won but if was a enjoyable game to watch. I plan to watch a replay on NFHS sometime this week. I would have this afternoon but went to sleep watching the Masters.

Clinton had close to 400 yds. rushing in that game led by Parker's big night....Josh Duncan (QB for Reidsville) passed for 250 yards and 3 t.d.'s....until I just read a re-cap of the game I had forgotten that Clinton misplayed a punt snap which gave the ball to Reidsville in a good position to score in 4th to take a 34-27 lead....but then returned the favor when Duncan was intercepted by Clinton at Reidsville 19 yd. line which led a Clinton TD with 2 minutes left....XP was missed (2nd miss of the game) and final was 34-33 (Rams winning)..............

The kicker was one of the finest kickers the DarkHorses have ever had. The previous year when Clinton beat Shelby for the state title he kicked a 27 yard field goal which at the time were the deciding points of the game and made several successful outs out of our own end zone punts (that team wasn’t use to having to punt) . Some Shelby fans say that was one of their best teams
Another thing I remember about that game was I was doing radio in the press box and it was fine. They had a Short Sugars pork roast and pig picking cake. We were treated very hospitably!!
(Nice being retired and staying up late if you want to! My afternoon night extended me)
 
lol...thing is Wiz...I'm still working 4 to 5 days a week at a restaurant here in town that I've been with off and on the last 11 years since I closed the downtown Short Sugar's....got off work tonite about 9:45...still wired and can't go to sleep...

I agree with you about 95%. The only thing I don't agree with you on is schools like Mcmichael. They're not very good. I'm sure other schools are in by default.

3 things have to happen for a good kick. Got to have a good snap, a good hold, and then the kick. Many times the snap and hold throw the timing off for the kicker.
