$10 dollar ticket 10x times that in entertainment value. Legendary Game!
 
Cry baby Honda doesn't know when to quit! Let's keep in mind you thought Hough and Weddington would easy beat us! You showed us pages of stats!!! Pages!!!!!!
MIster Honda's " stats " mean as much as the stats for the Mason-Dixon Roller Vixens, a roller derby squad that was based in Hagerstown , Maryland.

You are exactly right. .. the wet field led to 2 huge loses and no points . That was the turning point !

Well don't forget the extra $1.50 for the stupid fee..............I'm old school...why not just walk up to a window and buy a damn ticket the old fashioned way??
I was told by a Grimsley teacher that someone stole and or embezzled athletic funds in Guilford County so now they don't take cash anymore. It only takes one to ruin it for all.

And GTHOH talking about Grimsley beating teams from Texas, Florida, Georgia, etc... They would get rolled.
Grayson the number 1 team in Georgia, is playing Carrolton for the 6A Championship. They're ranked Top 25 Nationally. Creek played them in a tough game 28-14. I'll give Grimsley a shot. It's all about matchups.
 
National rankings seem to put a significant amount of weight on the rankings/ recruitment of the players. Of course you have to keep winning to keep the ranking.

This may be understandable when for some skilled players but some of the lineman rankings are based on size and potential.

I believe the player rankings can be misleading on the high school level. I think a case can be made that the best player on the field may not be ranked because of size and they will not project at the next level. Many linebackers and lineman are great in high school but get no attention due to size / speed issues. I would even suggest that those players have more heart, desire and football knowledge at the high school level than SOME of the 4 and 5 star prospects.

This old saying holds some truth. If you have size you have to prove you CAN’T play. If you are small you have to prove you CAN.

The most recent example of this would be the East Duplin / Reidsville matchup a few years ago. Reidsville with 2-3, albeit young, D1 players and East Duplin with 0 division D1 players. (If I am not mistaken) This was not evident on game day.

I think many times it is the players who have suited up for the last time that have the most impact on the game.

If this post sounds like I was 5’9 155 in high school then you are dead wrong. I was 5’9 and 1/2. 😀

Yo, dat East Duplin and Reidsville situation you talkin' 'bout? Dat right there is a clear example of what I’m sayin'. It proves rankings can be shady, and like, how the team vibe, coaches, and how bad them players wanna win, be way more important on game day than just star ratings.

Just to be clear, I was not referring to my undersized self in my post. I was not a great football player.

Over the last 20 plus years have seen the best teams in about 20 states play in person. The very best schools in NC would be competitive. Indiana had one of the better of those teams.

The decade the big time privates schools bringing players in from all over has caused a bit more separation as other privates hopped in to keep up.
