North Surry vs South Stokes
- Thread starter ESCard
- Start date
South is down this year. If you guys pass all game you might break a hundred. I expect you guys to show some class.
From what I seen on Hudl South's changed their offense at least once just trying to get something going. They are in the shotgun like we ran last year, but they struggled the last two weeks and most of the year. They still do that wing offense they ran last year here and there as far as I know. They played Forbush the closest out of anyone this year. Their RB's have some speed.
If our defense plays like they did last week we could have a solid outing. Offense is clicking when we need them too. We just got to show up focused; South's not the kind of team to overlook. Same with Forbush as well.
Score wise I think we will approach it like with did with Atkins. Take care of business early and let the clock run after halftime. As long as it doesn't get chippy we will put the youngins in during the 3rd quarter. Just hope for s solid performance this week so we can be excited for Forbush.

I really think N Surry may have a chance in this game. I heard South is holding their best players out for the big game against Carver next week ROTHFLMAO!!!! .
What the hell is the purpose of this thread??? I think the 2 or 3 people in the Walnut Cove area who actually care about football are embarrassed enough as they have been for all but 2 of the past 20 plus years!!! Predictions???? Uhhhh tight game until N Surry throws a forward pass with 11:45 left in the 1rst and South does not have a defender within 20 yards of the receiver. Here is a prediction for you: If a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his ass every time he goes to hopping. That is about as relevant as a prediction you will get for the N Surry vs S Stokes game Friday night.

I have to chime in on this one.I assume you are a West Stokes fan,am I correct? We will show some class unlike a certain coach on your staff who coached the little league prowlers and was leading another team 24 to 0 and called timeout with 5 seconds left to score another touchdown.This was a few years back but no one at that field will ever forget that CLASSY move,even the referees commented how classless that was.So if that is the kind of class you hope we show,then no we will not.
I'm sure somebody in middle school or little league football in the greyhounds organization sometime in the past did something classless if you go back far enough. lol Why even start a thread about playing a 0 and 9 team?
Greydog, I'm the little league coach for the Prowlers and you have your facts screwed up! That game was north stokes and pilot mtn and north was running the score up on them! And hammer is a south fan, if you would read his post.... better get the facts straight before you go flying off at the mouth!
That same year we played Franklin in the semifinals and they had like 8 turnovers in that game that resulted in mutiple touchdowns. That was the year before I took over as head coach.

Reading the past 3 posts from greydog, kingbluedevil, and packrep1 I reflect on some of the best advice I have heard on this topic and it was from Bobby Bowden to Lou Holtz after his West Virginia team killed Lou's William and Mary's team: "Lou it is not my job to keep the score down".
I too coached for 7 years in the same little league you guys are talking about and have been on the receiving end of having the score run up on me. I can remember a program from north of the Dan in Stokes County run a double reverse pass with a 26-6 lead. Fortunately they did not connect but I told my kids after the game it is not their job to keep the score down. The prior year against the same team with a 30 something lead I had Quan Martin playing offensive guard to keep the score down. Not my job to keep the score down but I did. The same team my last year coaching when they had a big lead (Thanks to the Hundley kid) the last play of the game threw a perfect 40 yard faid for a TD to go up by over 30 points the last play of the game. Again I told my kids it is not their job to keep the score down.
A lot of accusations thrown at the Prowlers over the years and they have always been a talented bunch. Never coached against you packrep1 but went against Fleming for 7 straight years. There were times in the early years when I would be like really??? I remember Zack Manley running for a TD in a 20 plus point win in the last minute of the game. My assistant coaches got upset and questioned why the hell he was running the ball (one confronted Steve after the game) and I had to remind them that it WAS a FB dive and not their job to keep the score down. Other times I felt the score could have been a whole lot worse if the dogs were not called off. Regardless I had always thought Steve ran the organization with class. There was also a time in 07 when we lost in double OT to the Prowlers and IT WAS MY FAULT!!! That is when I felt bad for the kids is when I let them down. Never because a team (even the north of the Dan team) ran the score up on them. That should have the reverse effect if the kids have intestinal fortitude.
As far as the original thread I too wonder what the heck it is for?? Predictions??? It will most likely be ugly tomorrow night. South being void of athletes has a huge problem tackling in "open space" which is what I hear N Surry"s offense creates a lot of. All is not lost at South. The JV team has been competitive winning 3 games and competitive in others with dwindling numbers because of players exhausting their 8 quarters and being moved up to varsity. They had about 14-15 dressed out tonight losing to N Surry by about 10-14 what I heard. I can remember back in 2009 you had a similar situation when teams worried about running the score up on South but they had freshman that year named Zack Singleton, Aron Pensuiglia. Justin Rodgers, Todd Gibbs, Austin Bullard, Danny Smith, Tyler Hawks, and others that built on those experiences and had winning seasons as Jrs and Srs.
My advice to N Surry is the same Bowden gave to Lou Holtz. It is not your job to keep the score down. Run your O and run your D. Show class when you can but it is not your job. That job lies squarely on the kids, coaching staff and most importantly the community at South Stokes.

Yeah we won 31-20 on JV last night. We had two chances near the end to score or kick for 3 but we ran the clock down. Credit to South though they shocked us early and we got going after that. Their JV D isn't bad we scored the most on them since their opening game but they never gave up the JV team had to earn it. They had about 15-20 kids; depth took their tole not long into the third quarter for them.
They just don't have the #'s to compete in the WPAC with us and West and everyone else but I see them doing well in the Northwest if they get moved down there like most forecasters think they will in 2017 with North Stokes and company. I don't know if this group is as talented as Singleton's group was but they can do decent in that 1A conference with teams at their ADM level.
As for tomorrow night I'm looking forward to the ride down; South's probably one of my favorite stadiums and it'll be the last time we play them on varsity for a while more than likely so I need to enjoy it.

I started this post and to be quite honest I didn't even know at the time South was 0 and 9. Last time I checked the players on both teams are 15 to 18 year old teenage boys. I don't know anything about South. If they can pressure the QB and make him make bad decisions. Then I would say they have a chance. I seen the JV game last night and South did have some good looking Athletes. I guess since North looks better on paper we should just not play this one and just go ahead and give North the victory
Packerep1, First off my facts are dead on.If your facts are correct,this was before the Franklin game you mentioned maybe one or two years.It was the White Plains Raiders who were playing the prowlers and the prowlers ran a play to the 1 yard line and then called timeout with 5 seconds left so they could punch it in with already more than a 3 touchdown lead and I have this on video so you need to get your facts straight before you get involved.I know within game flow you cant keep the score down but calling that timeout was not gameflow. Secondly, I was not commenting on Hammer it was kingbluedevil and you would have saw that if you had read it instead of flying off at the mouth!! 3rd,that Franklin game you mentioned was filled with turnovers and yall were clearly the better team up 30 something to 13 late in the 4th when Franklin took their starters out and the prowlers starting qb was still in throwing the ball but you didnt mention that. But we owe yall thanks for that one because the next year Franklin went undefeated and won the SUPER BOWL. And finally,North Stokes And Pilot Mtn? Why would I have been talking about them?
