Looks like they played a tough schedule ... won finale 28-21 over Chase after losing 48-0 and 41-0 the previous two weeks to Crest and R-S Central.
Four of five wins were by seven points or less ... including 17-13, 21-20 and 16-14. Only blowout win was 57-25 in season opener over East Henderson, which finished 1-10.

Chestnut, on injured reserve, has 23 receptions, Noel Cook has 18, Christian Goins 11, Alec Abel 10, Isiah Hayes 10.
Jalen Foster, also on injured reserve, had eight the first two weeks.
East is always a scrappy bunch. They're a little down this year but they played us really tough in the mid 2000s...actually won the conference championship one year. You shouldn't toy around with them or they'll beat you. This is an interesting first round matchup and I'll be following it closely.
Every game will be interesting for our Rams if our WR's don't come ready to play. IMO our WR's will make or break our playoff run. I hope that they are being coached up and ready to play!!!
They're not very good. They do have a ball hawk at safety, so your quarterback has to be mindful of his reads and decision making. You guys shouldn't have any problem w/ them, however.
Should be an interesting matchup with the E. Rutherford safety and Reidsville's QB Tanner Wilson (JR) who is attracting lots of recruiting interest. Rams receivers have not distinguished themselves so far, but they lost their best WR (Soph Jalen Foster) early in the season and to date no one has stepped up as a go to guy.
This Reidsville team has the least seniors contributing that I can remember, with only about 3 or 4 doing much heavy lifting. I suspect that Lincolnton will be the team that Shelby will see in the West 2A finals but I am impressed with the late season progress the Rams are making.
Mule...I saw where Wilson visited UNC...and had his pic taken in jersey UNC #18....this was posted on facebook by his great uncle....so I;m not sure if the visit was this past week or a couple of weeks back.....
Wilson, Brandon Lee (Jr), and Willie Blackstock (Soph) were at the Carolina/Wake Forest game. Don't know if your Wolfpack is involved with Wilson yet.
Pretty good size for 9th graders:
No. 72 - Jadacus Logan 6-2 / 300
No. 13 - Demetrius Mauney 6-0 / 180
It's amazing how the same Reidsville fan continually takes jabs at the Reidsville players...do us a favor and go sit on the visitors side...fans have been getting away from you at games if you haven't noticed...
Wilson's grandfather, James Wilson, was a great high school tackle for the legendary Ralph "Jug" Wilson at Glen Alpine High School in the early 60's. He would be so proud to watch this kid. Pull him through on his behalf.
Cheerduck didn't Jug Wilson later coach at Freedom??...Reidsville played them once in playoffs in 1975 and I seem to recall that he was their coach...thanks for the info................the Wilson kid has a very strong arm....................
Freedom lost first game in playoff after going through undefeated season and beating Reidsville 27-0 in 1975. They got beat bad by East Forsyth 35-6. I was there to see it all. Freedom had a great year and they only allowed 36 points whole year including Reidsville game. I remember that the fans were shell shocked during East Forsyth game. Oddly, I was a kid then and many years later I saw East Forsyth winning State Title in 92' season. I knew a good number of kids on that team since I coached and umpire at K'ville Little League. ( Ray Farmer was one of the kid that went to Glenn not EF due to great baseball program during that time. Now he is a General Manager at Cleveland Browns)
Rambbq----Yes Jug Wilson was the coach and he was Freedom first HS football coach after a great career at Glen Alpine HS. He was a Hall of Famer for sure.

A bunch of athletes getting off the bus that seems to struggle once you kick off. Coach Barnes would say that if you lined them up and just used the eye test, you would take a lot of theirs. I do like the big FR NG, the kid is a player.
Coach Wilson was the first Freedom coach from 1973-1983. He built a championship program at Glen Alpine from noting to a powerhouse from 1949-1972. He belongs in the NCHSAA Hall of Fame, but the people that determine that just seem to think since he's dead no one would care. I feel his exclusion, to this point, is a travesty and the HOF is a joke until they include him.
As far as Reidsville, they have come on strong the last portion of their season and I hope for them the best. East Rutherford can be unpredictable as they have lots of athletes but seem to not have a clearly defined mission.
My suggestion is to find some former players of Coach Wilson (especially if there are a few lawyers among the bunch)..and worry the hell out of the NCHSAA...that's the only way for older coaches to ever get recognition...it's been done before by many schools....someone or some bodies have to initiate it tho....have as many facts about him as possible to present..........FWIW he's got my vote................................
Heard today that Shelbys quarterback may be out for playoffs with mcl knee injury ...any truth to that?
Wow, that's some heavy duty shoes to follow. I knew of Jug many years ago. A certified legend he most certainly is. Did not know of the relationship. Thanks for the info.
If you can get us some details about Jug Wilson's career maybe we can get something going at the NCHSAA.
Thanks, Cheerduck. Long time no see.
Well, he was injured in the fourth qtr last week and couldn't finish the game. I guess the Shelby guys will let us know.
Glad to hear it. Would be terrible to be out now.
Reidsville lost its pre season All State lineman and their best receiver and defensive back early in the season and the team has struggled to replace them all year.
All of the official papers have been submitted, along with numerous newspaper articles, documents and pertinent information regarding his career coaching high school teams in N.C. Each year we have sent letters of recommendation as follow up for him.Last year, I found out he hadn't even been considered for a period of 3 years.I couldn't get an answer on that issue. Since I sent in his original nomination form in 2004,three members of the NCHSAA staff has been inducted into the HOF. I sometimes wonder why politics have be a part of everyday life.
I appreciate your offer and would cherish the fact you'd try to help push for his inclusion.
Thanks for the input as much of this has been done and is ongoing.To exclude that man makes the NCHSAA HOF less credible, IMO.

East rutherford is a very young team. They have great athletes, But east rutherford dosent always show up.. Hell of a safety they have with leading the state in #1 with 11 ints. The freshman duo with #72 and #13 is pretty exciting while watching them get after that ball on defense . I think it will be a great game against them and Reidsvile .
