I'm not sure if Shelby, Lincolnton and East Lincoln will be 2A, 2AA or two in one and one in the other.. But I just gotta say, I would LOVE to see a Shelby/Lincolnton or Shelby/East Lincoln matchup in the playoffs... That would be a big time football game!!

Again I know it's looking way far ahead, but thoughts on Shelby potentially facing one of these two?
 
Reidsville would be in the Eastern brackett though, right (maybe I'm wrong)? Shelby, Lincolnton and East Lincoln will all be in the West
 
They better hope they don't draw the Reidsville Rams
Oh, please! You guys better hope you're not in the West again, where the big boys are, the Rams have struggled mightily in the west as of recently, whether you all admit it or not. I respect you, but I'm not concerned about you, the results of you all playing a soft schedule will rear its ugly head again.

Reidsville could go East or West. As I've said once before, how dare anyone feel Reidsville can compete with Shelby, Lincolnton or anyone else in the West. Might as we turn down the invitation to play.
High School more than any form of football changes greatly from year to year. You can't base any level of current success on what happened one, two or three years ago.
I have no idea what the playoffs will hold. As I've mentioned to several people, who follow this insignificant Ram Team; if Shelby, Lincolnton or any other team is that much better than us, I'll tip my hat and shake your hand. I hope everyone continues to take a nap on the Rams..... nevermind according to you guys the name is already on the trophy
 
Monroe vs Shelby...would be a good game maybe not as good as couple years back or even last year but still a good matchup none the less
 
A Clinton vs Reidsville game would be fun if you guys go 2AA east maybe get alil pay back from 1998

Lol....its pretty much been the same thing the past few years...I've said it before they play that so so schedule get a high seed off the conference we travel way up there wax em then come back home...Shelby is the team to beat hands down but do not sleep on them wolves ...I'm guessing the golden lions and the wolves in a regional final replay from last year....stay tuned!

The Wolves, Mustangs, and Lions are mean. The only thing I'm concerned with about Reidsville is them winning the freaking coin toss, and one of us having to go up there yet again to expose them as benefactors of a cupcake schedule. Reidsville would do good beating Hunter Huss here in the West. I'd take the Huskies over them, seriously.

As usual the Shelby loud mouths are in full bull horn mode...I really hope Reidsville goes west so we can pull the plug it's not like we haven't done it before

Score a touchdown versus us, if we do indeed meet up. You guys couldn't even score an offensive touchdown versus us the last two meetings. If it wasn't for us throwing a boneheaded pick 6 of a fake field goal attempt, you wouldn't have scored, period, the last time we played, and that streak y'all like to brag about ended, the streak of consecutive scoring in a game, as if people outside of Reidsville cares.

This is how being in the West usually plays out w/ y'all lately, beat Polk County in the 1st round, struggle with a somewhat mediocre team the next round, get exposed and blown off the field in the 3rd/4th round. "West side!!!! You and I know it's the best side". As of recently, the name, Reidsville, holds no weight in the West like it used to.

We have been in the 3rd and 4th round in the west the last couple years won of the wins came against Lincolnton. Both losses came against shelby. Last year team was terrible and a lot of teams east and west would have blasted the rams.

Although we didn't score a offensive td in 2014 that was a close game, only a 17-7 game.

Per Simmons, Reidsville would be favored over Hunter Huss by 25 points before the games this past Friday. And Reidsville has covered every Simmons point spread by double digits this year.

Strength of schedules: Clinton #40, Lincolnton #41, Reidsville #45, E. Lincoln #86.

The Mule, you're a funny guy, seriously. I see you on a weekly basis discrediting Simmons, because he's so off based predicting the outcome of you all's games weekly. You don't give him any credit. Why the heck should the rest of us. Smh....

My son said the exact same thing about the coin toss....odd man out and when was the last time they came this way?

Can't argue with this the one time we lost up there a few years ago 13-10 all we heard leaving the stadium was we got them lions coming here and we told them that ain't what y'all want....if my memory is correct... It was a blowout!!!

You may need to revisit your info on this one......

In 2014 we lost to shelby 3rd round 17-7. In 2014 made it to the 4th round beating l town 13-10, did get drubbed by shelby, but I'm pretty Lincolnton would have too. the point of it was we haven't been as bad as you guys are making it out to be.
 
Seriously, Tarheel fan1, do you think your JV team could beat the teams in your conference?

Yeah although I'm not sure how good the jv team is, I doubt they would dominate though. I hate this conference and want out. When we originally went in the conference we honestly didn't think these teams would be that bad. Carrboro, had just been in states, Cummings was still decent and Jordan Matthews was decent.

I think we do try and schedule the best we can in non conf though.
 
Reidsville will be 2A definitely....most likely West.................

If they are 2a and end up in the east then they can plan there way to a state championship game. 2a east is very very weak if Clinton is 2aa.

Like I said before if Shelby,Lincolnton,and Reidsville all stay undefeated and all end up in the 2a west I sure hope we get the first seed.

I have been discrediting Simmons every week because he has been so far off on the Reidsville power rating and subsequent predictions. Last week was the closest he has been this year when he forecast Reidsville by 55 and they won by 66, including taking knees in the first half on the goal line.

I have used a system similar to Simmons for the last 50+ years. My criticism of Simmons is that when he starts the year with a power rating for a particular team that is too low or too high, he doesn't adjust enough on a weekly basis to provide a realistic rating for such teams.

Shelby has definitely been on a run but the posters were crickets 2007-9.. it's y'all time enjoy it to we see y'all in November
 
Playoffs! You mean playoffs! Dang still three weeks left in season and the mudslinging has begun! Playoffs!!!!!
 
That conference Reidsville plays in is easily the worse in the state. But beating Northwest Guildford did prove they have a quality team. I'm sure when scheduling Northern G they were expecting them to be a typical good team. All in all they set up a non conference schedule that had potential to be very strong.

Bring you goggles when the playoffs start. The road goes thru Shelby, its a dirt road, and lots of teams are going to be eating dirt.
 
It don't matter the kids play the game on the field Reidsville might lose in the 1st round or go all way to championship game ya never know. That's why the games are played by the kids. We can say this team gonna win it or that team but no ones gonna know til weeks to come. Go RAMS

That spells bad news for them. The only time the Rams have been successful in the playoffs or even won a "recent" championship has been when they fall in the east. As there is no competition in the east, the Rams would easily march to the title game (as they did through their weak schedule) and play a battered west team that had to duel it out with the other powerful western teams.

He accounts for taking out your starters once the game is in hand....
 
Well, it appears 98 State Champion has circumvented the system AND HIS BAN to come back as 72 State Champion. Give it time, he will be booted again.

Shelby and Lincolnton do have some tough teams they play... but let's not pretend they play Murderer's Row every week like they want you to think.

If that's the case the East would win more state championships by that logic.
 
72 champion why you so angry maybe because they banned you and you hiding under another fake name

2006: 2-A: Burlington Cummings 49, Clinton 20 2-AA: Shelby 27, Southern Vance 24 2007: 2-A: Lincolnton 28, South Columbus 14 2-AA: Reidsville 28, Shelby 20
2008: 2-A: Newton-Conover 51, Tarboro 28 2-AA: Reidsville 24, East Lincoln 7
2009: 2-A: Tarboro 28, Mountain Heritage 3 2-AA: Reidsville 28, Newton-Conover 6 2010: 2-A: Tarboro 21, Winston-Salem Carver 13 2-AA: Salisbury 30, Elizabeth City Northeastern 0
2011: 2-A: Tarboro 39, Lincolnton 36 2-AA: West Stokes 21, Kinston 14
2012: 2-A: East Lincoln 24, Tarboro 20 2-AA: South Iredell 30, Carrboro 27
2013: 2-A: Shelby 29, Southwest Onslow 7 2-AA: T.W. Andrews 18, Monroe 14
2014: 2-A: Shelby 31, Clinton 7 2-AA: East Lincoln 14, Washington 13
2015: 2-A: Shelby 57, Kinston 21 ` 2-AA: Monroe 38, Bunn 19

Other than Tarboro and Reidsville, what other team from the east has won a ship in the last 10 years? Andrews is more west than east. 9 teams from the west, 2 teams from the east.
