Lincolnton v Reidsville RD2

[Stanimallector]

The reason most fans are on edge about this game is because our Offense struggle to put up points against the good teams. Against ER (who wasnt good) we only managed 16 points was on the Goalline twice and couldnt score. The defense is playing good right now and has saved us in a few games this year. We need to contain Lincolnton's offense and our Offense will have to come up big. We must be able to throw the ball. Im guessing lincolnton will try and take away our run and force us to pass, amd we will probably try and do the same.

The Rams have owned that conference since we defeated bandys in back to back state championship games in 2002 and 2003...our pedigree will shine bright Friday night ...Newton conover, lincolnton , east Lincoln (maybe different conference) but they all have seen what the Rams can do when the stakes are highest ...I believe in our kids ..stay loyal Reidsville fans

 

[Stanimallector]

After looking at Lincolnton schedule its seems that our defense is about the same, but lincolnton offense is better than ours. They had impressive wins against a 9-3 Maiden team (37-12) and 7-4 Lexington team (40-0). The key for us is to force turnovers. If we get in a goalline stands on 4th down we need to kick the field goal if we are ahead or if the score is close. Cant afford to come away with nothing. It kills the momentum

ramking2012, Reidsville doesn't own Lincolnton we are 1-1 with you. You beat us, there, in 2013 and we beat the Rams, there, in 2001, the year before you won the 2002 title.

As long as we don't get to fancy and stick to plays that work, this should be a great game to watch. Let's have a good hard played injury free game. From what I've read everyone feels that our Rams will take an L in this one. The only way to know that for sure is to play the game.

In 2001 Reidsville was 10-1 and favored over Lincolnton in the first round and we got blasted 31-7............we got owned that nite but got it back 2 years ago.......13-10....rubber match....this is what teams play for......................

 

[Stanimallector]

The game 2yrs Reidsville won 13-10, although we won the game we were banged up so bad (7 starters injured ) we didnt have anything left against shelby. So all we have to do is score one more point than the wolves and escape with no serious injuries.

 

[Lincolnton]

I have to admit that I'm glad we didn't play the Rams in 2002, and they were probably looking for us, but we had at best a mediocre team that year (2002). Bandys on the other hand was a really good team. It's only about twenty minutes from here and I drove over to watch them play, a couple of times.

One of Bandys games I saw was in the semifinals against the Pisgah Black Bears, out of Canton, NC. They were a big, stout bruising team.
There were several inches of snow still on the ground and It had been a really cold, nasty week. A lot of people in Lincoln and Catawba Counties didn't have power because of the weather . Bandys had done a good job of clearing the field. The game was played on a Saturday night and people were looking for somewhere to go to get away from the aggravations the storm had caused. everyone at this game seemed to be in such good spirits. Bandys won by something like 31-21.

I remember thinking Bandy had what it takes to be a champion, then, and I still do. They had a fine coach, a smart quarterback who could throw, well, with athletic sticky-fingered receivers. They were big, disciplined and they rarely missed assignments. I know that many of the Trojan fans must have felt good about their chances, the following Saturday, but it was not to be. They would fall to the Rams by something like three scores. Seems like it was thirty something to fourteen.

Most people remember, best, the years their team was good, including me, as far as local football goes, but that year really sticks with me, even though we weren't too good. I've always thought that it really said something for Reidsville to have decisively beaten a team like that. I know they beat Bandys, big, in 2003, but 02 is the one that kind of defines Reidsville football, for me.

 

[Fantastic Four]

Reidsville played HP Andrews on Sunday afternoon in semifinals that year. Probably only high school game ever to be played on Sunday.

 

[Lincolnton]

Fantastic Four, I'm not sure but it seems like South Point played Carver on a Sunday, in Winston-Salem, may have been that year, because of snow. Hickory poster Cheerduck, was there. Carver won the game.

 

[ReidsvilleRam90]

2002 2AA game was 34-14. But was close until late in the game. Reidsville may have been behind at the half.

2003 68-12. What can you say about that?

That 2001 game was one of the most disappointing losses I can remember. We were solid favorites and Lincolnton dominated the entire game. One instance when the favored team lost ---- and lost big.

TheMule, I wish you wouldn't have said that. As an ultra-superstitious person and since it looks like we're the favored team, this time, I'm worried the 2001 game might get reversed on us, Friday night.

Not so fast on being the favored team. Reidsville is playing at home (intangibles) and is the higher seeded team. I would like it better if the game was being played at Memorial Stadium.

I was a senior at LHS during the 2001 season and that team had as much or more heart as any Lincolnton team I can remember. They went on to win at Shelby in the third round to end a long, long losing streak to the Golden Lions. They later lost to Cummings in round 4, 17-14, on a last minute field goal. Most heartbreaking loss in all my nearly 30 years of Lincolnton football.

 

[zukeridr]

Once again I must be missing something in this thread......is this about what happened in the past games with old players or what could possibly happen this Friday with the current players? No one cares about how things went down in whatever year you want to reminisce about....it all boils down to the young men on the field this Friday night in Reidsville...Two sides of the ball lace them up and let's go.....period....The Rams have a very very good program ...their history speaks for itself.....but don't for one second think just on that notion our Wolves will roll over just for that.....THIS MATCHUP SHOULD BE EPIC.....

 

[Godevilsgo]

Special shout out to one kid on the Lincolnton team. Mr. Easter. He has been shuffled all over the place in his career at Lincolnton High. He has been starter at QB, WR, RB, DB, and returner. Kid has done everything asked of him over four years. Most kids would not take being shifted out of high profile positions very well. I take my hat off to this young man. He has been a star at all the places he has been put year after year. Congrats on being a team player and staying strong.

LTownWolves, what happened back then means a lot to me. The old and the new is what makes Lincolnton football what it is. 2001 was the first time in twenty some games and thirty some years Lincolnton had beaten Shelby. To me, it means a lot.
I thank you for your efforts as a player.

I didn't go to the game, but it was on the weekend - can't remember which day. However, the delay was because of a major ice storm that took out the power grid for 2-3 days in the Triad. By the time the game was played, I was just beginning to thaw out and couldn't face sitting outside in frigid weather after having been inside with frigid temps for several days.

 

[Lincolnton]

Sasha, Cheerduck was at the game. I'll double check with him but I'm thinking he said it was on a Sunday afternoon.

 

[dhag2]

I just hope ram fans turn out this week. Disappointing to see only 300-400 last week. Worst crowd I've ever seen at a Reidsville game.

Granted, reminiscences have nothing to do with the outcome of this week's match up but they are a part of the game. In 15 or 20 years, you may be remembering this week's game in which your child is participating? Will you want someone saying no one cares what went down on 11/20/2015. If it can't be important in the future, it has no importance now.

History and tradition are huge parts of the overall high school football scene, especially in towns like Reidsville and Lincolnton or any school that carries the name of the city.

When you are a 2 TD+ underdog like the Rams are, we try to find every possible reason to believe we can win.

Could be a muddy field Friday night - and cold. Football weather for football fans.

Don't get me wrong it all means something from start to finish old and new....I've had two sons already come through Lincolnton on championship or runner up state teams in 2005 runner up, 2007 champions and 2011 runner ups. So I know all to well on how the reminiscent facts come into play....I'm saying that this Friday is of that nature until after its over.......until that point there is still a present game to be played and yes my youngest son will be playing. Of course I'm sure after its said and done win or lose it will be talked about.....so bring on the future!!!!

LHSfaninVA, some of the Reidsville posters have been around a long time and I've been reading their posts. I confess to you that I can lay down enough BS to fertilize the outer banks but I don't believe I could convince them that we are the underdogs. I'm afraid that If I did try to make them believe it they would think I didn't respect their knowledge of the way things shape up in high school football.

Probably, this idea of being favored has more to do with East Rutherford playing them close, than it should, but frankly, I doubt if that's a very good gauge, and from their prospective there are other things.

Side note: I wondered what part of Virginia you're in.I thought, maybe if you're in the Danville or Martinsville area it wouldn't be so far for you to attend. I got a feeling you're in the tidewater area or maybe around Arlington or in the Valley, which would put you too far away. Nevertheless, KTC Broadcasting will carry this game.

I was at this game on a cold Sunday afternoon. The field was a mess and definitely worked against the SP option attack that day.Their FB, Brown, was stymied by the field conditions,but ran hard for the Red Raiders. I believe I was told a small bob cat was used to remove snow from the field.It had removed any grass too! I still remember the great fried fish sandwich and cup of hot coffee as well.

I expect Lincolnton to win, but I wouldn't be surprised if Reidsville won at home.

To answer your question. I live in Arlington, but have worked or driven through those other locations plenty enough times to navigate my way around. KTC Broadcasting is going to carry this game and not East Lincoln? Since last season, I have had trouble listening to most games on their website from my computer. It is hit or miss. Plus, I think the Wolves are 1 for 2 this year on games I have caught on the radio. So, I usually just wait for updates and then the final score.

.The Rams have a very very good program ...their history speaks for itself.....but don't for one second think just on that notion our Wolves will roll over just for that.....THIS MATCHUP SHOULD BE EPIC.....

Roll over? Ram fans have said from the onset we expect to lose this game.

Besides, we do not wish for you to roll over. Convince Shelby to roll over for us. They are the 800 pound gorilla in the room. They have proved mightily that they can romp in Reidsville. Perhaps the bus trip to Shelby, IF it happens, will propel the Rams to victory.

 

[ramking2012]

This ram fan has not said he expects us to lose this game...only the usual naysayers that have no vested interest in the program ...so sick of you guys

Favored or underdogs it really doesn't matter. I don't know about Reidsville but I'm sure all we need to hear to get up for this game is REIDSVILLE.

KTC Broadcasting online will have this game and the East game. WLON radio on the dial will have this one. If you have a smart phone or iPad you can get the Ustream app and choose between two Lincoln County, two Cleveland County or one Gaston County game by searching whatsupshopper.

 

[Godevilsgo]

Lincolnton has only given up 19 points in the last 5 games. That's less than 4 points a game. During those games they averaged 44 points. Those games were no patsy teams either.

Are you sure they can stream these games during the playoffs? I tried to view the games last Friday nigh and could only get audio.

Lincolnton will probably have several hundred there Friday night..... even though it is a long trip.

It will only be audio because nshsaa is a$$ backwards organization when it comes to hs football playoff broadcasts OR, they just want to control how communities and schools promote their teams.

Okay and thanks for the answer.I thought it must've been something outside the realm of KTC Broadcasting.

Good to hear, King! I'm with you. I don't understand 'fans' who are convinced their team is gonna lose! I am a realist, but ALWAYS anticipate a victory for the Wolves.
