We climbed it twice before! Can you imagine 3 times straight? But I will leave the trash talking to you.

Grimsley vs Hough 12/6 Rd 4
- Thread starter Vik-Val 86
- Start date
My Prediction Grimsley 38 Hough 24... setting up the showdown in the Triad between East Forsyth(my other prediction) and Grimsley.
I think you guys are mistaken.... for many years Grimsley had many losing seasons in a row and didn't want any of the Dudley smoke. All of a sudden Grimsley is good now and its the other way around???? PLEEAAASSSEEEEE
Grimsley wasn’t even that good 8 years ago. I have personal relationships with a few guys on both staffs and I know for a fact this isn’t true either.
Hough at Grimsley - Strength of Schedule - Grimsley 16.5, Hough 22.7
This is a matchup of two powerhouse, transfer portal teams. Grimsley, in the playoffs, is averaging 54.3 ppg, while giving up 11.7 ppg. Hough averages 46.7 ppg and has given up 1 ppg, a total of 3 points.
Grimsley has won their three playoff games by
Western Guilford 63-0
Southeast Guilford 58-21
Charlotte Catholic 42-14
Grimsley has won their playoff games by an average margin of 42.7 ppg
Hough has won their playoff games by
South Iredell 59-0
Independence 47-3
Mallard Creek 34-0
Hough has won their playoff games by an average margin of 45.6 ppg
Prediction - Hough 40 Grimsley 27

From 2000 to 2016, Dudley is 14-3 against Grimsley.
From 2016-2021, Grimsley hasn't wanted anything to do with Dudley.....
Of course the past 3 years, its easy to say it Dudley doesn't want smoke, but its been Grimsley who ducked out after 2016.... and just now is acting like the past 60 years never happened...
This ain’t 2000- 2016 though. Dudley knows they’d get the work the past few years, and especially this year. Big difference between the top of 3A and 4A. To get back on topic can anyone give insight into Hough and biggest strengths and weaknesses, I’ve got a good idea but want to hear it from people who have seen them play in person
Especially this year? I’m not so sure about that one. Wasn’t Grimsley just tied 21-21 with Southeast a weeks ago before pulling away? Dudley beat them 49-0.
Hough’s biggest strengths? It’s hard to choose just one. Their interior offensive line is very strong. All five starters are but the middle is where they have an advantage on Grimsley. Their speed and physicality on defense is also a strength. Very solid running game with three very good wideouts this year, I really like number 7. 7 is a do it all play maker and Evans number 8 is their big tall deep threat. I think the balance of their offense this year will get them over the hump.
Played them twice. Throwing and getting them out the box would be your best opportunity. Definitely got to mix it up on the offensive side. If they figure out you can't stop the run, they will RPO you all the way down the field. O Line is really big, but not very mobile. Stunts on the DL and make them find the blocks. None of this will work if you don't have the Jimmy & Joe's. Northwestern (Rock Hill) had a really good game mixing it up against them.
To be fair Grimsley beat southeast 49-0 the first matchup and then scored 37 unanswered after the tied it up so I think that was just a case of playing twice..I see your point though. Yeah this hough team seems like a monster, and they seem determined to beat Grimsley this time. I think the winner of this game wins the State Championship
They’re going to score some points then. I think Brandon is the key to the game. He’s been coasting all year but can go off at anytime, he hasn’t had to do much. If the G opens it up with the pass game it’s all going to fall on how he plays
Dudley game would be big on gate receipts, but bad for RPI. Check out Dudley’s opponents and opponents’ opponents winning % - both are below 50%. Even a win over Dudley would be detrimental to Grimsley RPI. Home field advantage is big and one Hough fans would certainly remember from the past two years. Simmons ratings has Grimsley by one. Sounds about right and only if Hough can stop Mitchell Summers which they have so far proven unable to do.
