Get the Trophy’s ready for Reidsville

Crest is that school in our county. It had been that way for decades. They were once 4A, now obviously 3A. Shelby has done a good job of sending kids to the next level, though. I think the run of championships was the best thing to happen to Shelby, as far as drawing college interest to its players.

Crest is the hot school right now. We'll see how they do. The Reidsville kids are getting a lot of interest right now and the basketball program is on fire.
 
Flippen also ran wide open a lot. But no one was looking for him.
Toughest position on the field, and the one position that is impossible to please the entire fan base. It takes a special kid to play that position, and one with the thickest of skin. They are celebrated as long as the team is winning, but if they lose, they are blamed, even more so than the coach sometimes. Don’t know how many schools are in the 2A division, but I bet about 90% of them would love to have Al Lee as their quarterback, a veteran, soon to be three year starter.

I initially thought it could have been basketball that attracted those guys. A lot of these guys bond during AAU/Traveling Basketball. Playing with Neal and Harrison is very attractive. Neal, Harrison, Lee, CJ, and J9 should go undefeated.
 
I saw somewhere that we are playing Greensbodo Day School next year in basketball but that's all I've heard

And playing in the John wall classic. I would play someone like Grimsley or Dudley as well.

This would be a good year for the football team to have a big time opponent. I like Eastern and Page on the schedule, wish we had one more game like that. Western is pretty good, but down compared to a few years ago
 
Would love to see Reidsville travel down to South Pointe in Rock Hill for a football game. Would love to see them play North Meck, Hickory, Smith, Indy or Myers Park in Basketball

True. But why would you not even look in the direction of a guy like Flippen every pass attempt?

ALL the TALENT is at Clinton and Reidsville. May as well play SC game now. As my buddy olddog said Choo Choo
A buddy of mine from down that way said Clinton lost one of their spring transfers back to their original school for disciplinary reasons. He was supposed to be a RB, they called him speedy I think. He went back to Cumberland Co.

Got this all from a friend of a friend so who knows lol. I think they still have their two D1 commits though.

They are promoting the program well right now but they have not won in the third rd in 7 years. I do think they will have a really good team this year but not on Reidsville’s level.
 
Over the last 10 years, Reidsville has played NW Guilford, N Guilford, WS Reynolds, Magna Vista, Page, E Guilford, Eastern Alamance, Western Alamance, NE Guilford, etc. We defeated each of these teams with the exception of N Guilford 1-2 and Page 0-1.

Playing these teams get us the following.....Zero! At the end of the year, no one asks who you played regular season. They look at your record in the playoffs. Same goes for Shelby, Tarboro, WRH and every other 2a-1a dominate program. If you win, those teams won't play you any longer. If you loose, you were supposed to. If you play a team with 2x the enrollment and get someone hurt, you're screwed. Don't give me the BS of playing 3a-5a teams to prove what...
You beat an overrated team. You got beat by a team you're supposed to lose to on paper? You play great but loose 2 starters for the year in order to beat your chest? F that! Play your schedule. Beat who your supposed to beat. Win titles!

Example.... play Dudley regular season. Huge gate. Unbelivable hype. What good long term does it benefit either team. Dudley looses ... they suck! Reidsville wins and looses Kendre to injury.... Reidsville ain't shit and looses one of their best players and miss 23 title.

I like wins. I like titles. Reidsville doesn't have to prove anything. Neither does Shelby, WRH, Tarboro or any other perinatal powerhouse

Reidsville had won titles with tough schedules, and won titles with laughable schedules.

Also they are 1-1 with Page, beat them im 2021.

Have you heard of offensive and defensive lines? You can have the best skill players, but if they can't get the ball there's no point.

On a related note, teams like Reidsville, Clinton, and I'll even say Northeastern, from what I've seen have these low points in the game where they get lost. If you play sharp for 4 quarters you have a decent shot. East Duplin proved that with key plays where they stayed sharp. They were underdogs but they had alot of experience which helped them stay sharp the entire game.
And East duplin beat them up front. Much more physical then Reidsville was. Not even close. They ran right at that big boy. And that's how it should be done.
 
Much of Rams' success will depend on the development of young linemen. Lost best two OL (Kelly and Price) to graduation. Those guys don't get the headlines but can make or break an offense against a tough, veteran defense. The skill guys are nice but you got to have the guys manning the trenches.
 
Well they should have, since there was false information presented by the coaches quoted in the story.

Fans don’t realize when guys do transfer in they sometimes aren’t immediate starters for football . Although I think both of the guys that came in will fit in well and should start. Think jones could stay both ways and sharps would seem to fit in as a safety.

Yeah it’ll be interesting how the trenches develop
 
Nope. We also beat them my senior year about a hundred years or so ago. :cool: ;);)
for the completist fans among us....Reidsville and Greensboro Page have played each other 8 times.....(the first in 1959 first year of Page HS)....Reidsville has won 4 times and Page has won 4 times.....................

If he is gonna play safety at RHS he better be physical and can lay the hammer.

Reidsville had a 7on7 today and there wasn’t a single post about it, which is surprising. Been wondering how they did.

I’d bet Dudley probably got the best of it. Neal is out, flip was probably out. Not sure if Kendre was available or not.

I had to go ask around and both teams were missing players but Kendre was there. I’m just surprised there hasn’t been any talk about it. There were post about beating PD when their Qb was missing and every other thing going on this summer.

I do wonder if the transfers were there . I don’t think anyone was meaning it as we could beat pd or anything.

I’ll have to ask because that’s one of the things I was wondering also. I know but I was just surprised it wasn’t even mentioned because we’ve been getting post about everything under the sun all summer.

Which is still odd..I didn’t hear much about either one before hand. Pads are coming on soon so that could be why, 7on7 season is pretty much over with.
