East Gaston (7-0) @ Burns (5-2)

[notanyonesfan]

Finally a game we can talk about! East Gaston comes to Burns undefeated. Burns will be the best East Gaston has seen this year by far. Burns will be looking to keep the showdown with Shelby in tact in a few weeks. Who ya got in this one?

I'm going Burns 42-21

East by 7

 

[egfan]

I still don't know what we have, might be fools gold (or then again it may be the real thing). Getting ready to find out the next week. Looking forward to Friday. Pretty exciting for this old dude!

I'm going 35 to 14 Burns as they pull away in second half. Have to give credit to EG for the 7 and 0 start.

 

[BleedBurnsBlue]

Finally, a legit team (maybe). I know their strength of schedule is very weak, but no doubt they're better than the rest of the conference, sans Shelby. It wouldn't surprise me to see EG break a few plays early on as we get adjusted to a good football team. But I think we pull away late as mentioned above. I do think we will score at will once we get going.

 

[Lion Attack]

Much closer than expected. This appears to be one of East Gaston’s better teams. They both have beaten common opponents by similar margins. Burns wins by 10-14 points.

While I don't disagree. The scoring margins against these conference teams is tough to go by. We could have scored 100+ easily on a few occasions.

No argument from me about our schedule. I have not seen Burns; except for a few video clips, however I know a few people that have seen them play and they feel we match up pretty well. Win or lose, I know the East Gaston community is looking forward to Friday.

Doesnt matter, one of them will come to BIG REIDSVILLE and get blown out in the playoffs..imo

I think it GREAT that EG has become more COMPETITIVE but I will pick the BULLDOGS in this one.

 

[notanyonesfan]

I don't know if it'll be a factor this Friday or not but at some point Burns complete lack of a kicking game is gonna hurt them. Being forced to go for 2 after every TD and giving the other team the ball at the 35-45 after each kickoff isn't a way to win close games. We literally haven't tried an XP since like week 2.

Ok the plus side we usually get really good punts from Mauney, even though we haven't had to do that in over a month either lol

Crest and KM have moved their games to Thursday but it appears us and Shelby may be staying on Friday. According to my Weather Channel app the higher chance of rain now appears to be on Saturday.

It's good to have a rain game every year, they're fun!

Burns

 

[notanyonesfan]

Simmons has Burns by 16

 

[Frank Lost Password]

Given Reidsville has only blown out one team all year, I dont see many if any blowouts past the 2nd round.

 

[egfan]

That's probably about right. We definitely will have our hands full.

Me as tarheel fan1. To be fair, we have had injuries. I’m not sure those games would have been close, had it not been for the injuries. I’m hoping the Rams continue to gel as we get players back, and we are at full strength by time the playoffs start.

I was actually really about to say something similar lol. But, I didn't cause i didn't want to derail the therad haha

 

[tarheel fan1]

On this game, I have burns by 14

 

[BleedBurnsBlue]

If we are even considering a deep playoff run, we have to win this game going away. No offense to EG, I'm happy for egfan and that program for continuing to get better, but if we don't win this game by 4+ scores, we're looking at a 2nd or 3rd round exit.

You're not wrong

 

[Sportsguy5555]

Burns by 4 TD’s.

 

[Crestuff]

42-14 Burns

 

[Shelby Lion]

Someone forgot to tell East Gaston they werent supposed to take the opening possession of the game and drive it right down the field for a TD and 7 point lead...

They look pretty dang good so far...,.

 

[notanyonesfan]

Well this isn't ideal

 

[Chopper747]

My first time seeing EG this season. EG has a pass game, wow! They went from all ground to having balance.

14-0 East Gaston

 

[Shelby Lion]

East holds burns 3 and out...

East scores again to take a 14-0 lead....

 

[Chopper747]

42-14 Burns

well they better score 42 soon because EG already has 14 in first qtr

 

[notanyonesfan]

We woke up

 

[Shelby Lion]

Wait what did I miss? Im actaully watching online and it went from 14-0 to 14-13 after 3's td.... How did i miss a score? Did I have a stroke or something???? LOL

 

[Crestuff]

well they better score 42 soon because EG already has 14 in first qtr

Got 13 in about 2 minutes 😅

 

[notanyonesfan]

21 unanswered. Burns up 21-14.

 

[BurnsBullDog02]

Got 13 in about 2 minutes 😅

21 in 4. EG is tough but pass D is hurting them.

 

[Shelby Lion]

21 in 4. EG is tough but pass D is hurting them.

it usually does

 

[notanyonesfan]

Good ball game.

21 in 4. EG is tough but pass D is hurting them.

Yeah Mauney may have a huge night. He might have too.

 

[BurnsBullDog02]

Our tackle #22 defense is struggling.

[Shelby Lion]

*** sorry yall meant to post that in the 2a score thread... my bad

 

[Shelby Lion]

Im a bit shocked, East has Mauney running for his life every time he drops back to pass... East has a little fire in their belly you arent used to seeing... I am impressed

Their lines are bullying Burns so far.... especially their defensive line....
