There's not enough schools in the state to send out 64 x 7 ... right now 256 in four brackets (minus a couple of byes in 1-A) ... with 32 x 7 that would be 224 in the brackets, certainly eliminating some of the bottom feeders. Also, it would cut the season back by a week. It's too long right now in my opinion.That’s an idea, I suppose…🤔
When is last time Reidsville played a conference foe in the playoffs?familiar foe next week. Can’t take them lightly since we already beat them
Oh, I wasn’t disagreeing. I was pondering that as a possible solution. I don’t have a problem with the current system but it does seem like your idea might be workable.There's not enough schools in the state to send out 64 x 7 ... right now 256 in four brackets (minus a couple of byes in 1-A) ... with 32 x 7 that would be 224 in the brackets, certainly eliminating some of the bottom feeders.

It's most definitely about money instead of rewarding excellence. It's become a money grab disguised as a playoff system.Their not going to pass a rule like that because about half the teams don’t meet that criteria and the NCHSAA isn’t going to effectively delete a week of playoffs and the money that brings in. Likewise, going to 7 classes would lead to even MORE playoff teams needed.
I admit it’s weird but there’s always been multiple teams with bad/losing records in the playoffs (at least in the past 4 decades that I know of). It’s not really a big deal, basically a solution looking for a problem to solve.
Just off the top of my head Cummings in 2011? if not probably in 2009

As with most things in the world we live in, its about money. Even so, a lot of Reidsville fans stayed home with the colder weather and prospects of a blowout and I'm sure some Madison fans didn't make the trip.Their not going to pass a rule like that because about half the teams don’t meet that criteria and the NCHSAA isn’t going to effectively delete a week of playoffs and the money that brings in.

What year was it when the Rams clobbered Western Alamance early in the season, but were stunned in the playoffs? May not have been a conference foe at the time though. I need to check my records.
That happened to Mt Airy also. I think in '69.What year was it when the Rams clobbered Western Alamance early in the season, but were stunned in the playoffs? May not have been a conference foe at the time though. I need to check my records.
The only score Southwest Randolph had last night against West Stokes was a kickoff return for TD. Hopefully they don't kick it deep against Reidsville.
Reidsville won the championship in '69That happened vs Mt Airy also. I think in '69.
Madison showed themselves to be good sports throughout the game. Getting beat like they were, it would have been easy for tempers to flare. There was plenty of hands pulling pkayers up,, helmet taps, and pats on the back. I watched for it because of this pist.Everytime I read about Madison playing, the complaints come back on this board that they play dirty and have poor sportsmanship. Seen it with Reidsville, and even Shelby complaints on here years ago.
Mt airy won the conference game 14-0 … Reidsville won the championship game 35-12.Reidsville won the championship in '69
I counted as many as 29 at one time. I could've been off as it's hard to do from the other side but I'll give the benefit of the doubt.I’m a man of my word. I counted 17 fans on the side of Madison. I gave them credit for 30 early in week. So no the parents nor the girlfriends came to support.
And season passes no longer gets one in for state playoffs.Probably smallest crowd of year for Reidsville as well … combination of cool weather, inflated ticket prices and anticipation of mismatch.
I did count middle of first quarter. Maybe that’s whyI counted as many as 29 at one time. I could've been off as it's hard to do from the other side but I'll give the benefit of the doubt.
My bad, misread above. I was there. Watched Jimmy Rabbit drag em down the field.Reidsville won the championship in '69
Why have they not forfeited this game yet? I'd be ashamed to waste my school's resources by taking my team over 3 hours to get whooped, knowing that we didn't truly earn a playoff spot (split conference technicality). If the game was less than an hour away with our unearned playoff spot, then sure. Or if the game was 3 hours away, but we earned the playoff spot, then ok. But knowing that we didn't do anything to be here, PLUS having to travel so far away just to play a game in which our players will be embarrassed.....ain't no way.
Possibly will know later in the weekAre you making the trip to Reidsville?
