East Rutherford at Reidsville - Round 2

[TGT]

I’m proud of the Cavaliers!!! I only seen them 2 times this year and last year .. I was impressed with the size of the line and QB play .. I still believe they should have beat brevard they just didn’t finish them out when they had a chance.
Just to think East didn’t have a varsity team a few years ago because things were so terrible

Even without a passing attack, they will be a tough out. Two tough, slippery and talented running backs operating behind a solid OL, it will interesting to see if they can continue the momentum gained with the exciting, one-point win at Reidsville.

Again, they tried everything else

I would have tried an actual LB.

Reidsville had a 2-point conversion called back for illegal man downfield and a TD called back on holding in the final quarter.

Rams really missed Jariel Cobb's running in this one. Neal carried team as much as he could but had some costly mistakes.

How in the world do you get an illegal man downfield on a two point conversion? Sheesh!

We have said this for years.

Reidsville piled up many previous championships without having to play other greats in the state within their classification.
They avoided them by either membership in a rival association, or by sub classification where 50% of same size schools in the state were dodged.
Did they play and win against what was placed in front of them by others?
Of course they did.
But they have never proven or established themselves as the self proclaimed “capitol (sic)” of anything.
Reidsville went 31 consecutive recent years without a title or even a title game appearance.

So what has happened in these four years where the classes had unified titles and Reidsville had to play in a format that included ALL similar sized schools in the state.

1 for 4.

And with Shelby winning its fourth unified title as Reidsville won its first during this period.

Without question, the 2023 Reidsville squad was a super team, probably the best across all classes. We acknowledge greatness.
But you are not the “capitol (sic)” of anything.

And tonight you lose in the second round to East Rutherford.
It should be noted, that outside of our consistently winning 3 Cleveland County rivals, East Rutherford is geographically the next closest NC high school to Shelby.
We have played them forever, mostly as conference opponents.
We are not surprised they beat you tonight.
You play nobody in conference or out, and get rewarded with another #1 seed.
You benefit enormously from the weakness of teams in your area.

Another point.
We challenged years ago whether Reidsville’s recent resurgent success would continue beyond Coach Teague Sr’s tenure.
Will history show he was the dominant factor and the program will suffer significantly with his departure.
By comparison, the Shelby program has enjoyed multiple titles under each of the 5 recent head coaches, going all the way back to 1955.
That is a program DYNASTY.
No gaps, no let ups.
Can Teague Jr do it? Can his successor?
Still a lot to prove before talking the capitol nonsense.

Finally, a significant number of the current Golden Lion squad did not celebrate your loss tonight.
They wanted the shot at you this year as repayment for last year’s defeat.
And we are now all aware that realignment has conveniently placed Reidsville safely away from any rematches with Shelby for the next four years. By one spot.
Essentially, the realignment is nothing more than a reset of the subclasses where 3 of your titles were opposite of 3 of Shelby’s, and Shelby clearly was dominant.
It continues to pay off for Reidsville’s own Que Tucker to head the association and subtly assist “ her team”.

So while it is easy enough for us to prove your self proclaimed claim is bogus….
It’s much better to watch you prove it for us.

The Shelby Golden Lions.
The True Dynasty.
The most successful, sustained, winningest high school football program in North Carolina.

That North Lincoln loss(I think it was OT) stands out. NL is one of the top rushing teams in the region.

Cavaliers are on a hot streak right now. Can't imagine them giving up 56 points in a game after watching them against Reidsville. Note that two of Reidsville's TDs were scored by the defense.

 

[The Old Ball Coach 1965]

I did say that Reidsville would not win it this year. I would like to just say that as the world turns and the weather gets colder the football is very difficult to throw the ball. This is where teams with QBs with no experience can get exposed. Both teams played their hearts out.

You were spot on Coach. The announcer for reidsville should have been penalized. ER to big. Ran right at Reidsville all night.

Minus the first game of the season and Hickory (Glass knows North Lincoln well), the NL Knights are putting up consistent scores in the high 30s to mid-40s with their rushing attack. Probably not 56 points, but highs 30s+ definitely.

Three to four weeks ago I was going to call a school out for their ranking on a CVAC thread. Spoiler alert: it was East Rutherford. Then I went to their MaxPrep and decided to STFU.

 

[Shelby Lion]

Absolutely. Widerman and Mansfield were the most missed players from last season. Still dont see the logic in using a guy there that didnt want to play defense in the first place.

I swear I mean zero disrespect by what I am about to type....

I've watched three or four of yalls games on NFHS this year and he seems to not really be "in the game" a lot of times during the games from what I have watched.... I also notice when he is on defense there aint a lot of fire there....Maybe its just me....Maybe he always plays like that, but I just dont see the motor this year I saw last.....Still a great ball player just something seemed off with him the few games I saw him play this year.... Still put up good numbers though....
