Reidsville # 1 Seed is bogus….again.

I guess we do have a pretty good RPI !!!! Strange how that happened. What does it take to be above average? I guess now the opposition will just be down 10 walking on the field. Our average winning margin is 35. How many games have you watched our average team play?
I don't go by RPI, I coach for a living and I have nothing but the up most respect for the Reidsville pedigree. However when I look at the non conference opponents 5-5, 3-7, 3-7, and the one team that was 7-3 is your RPI! Always remember that styles make fights! Everyone is running the spread and the fitness style makes your defense soft. When I look at Reidsville as a entire time they have been built off QBs. You don't have that anymore. I know that because I saw it with my own eyes. I watched the entire game against Walkertown. Your offensive line will be your down fall this year. Your passing game will be another part that teams will see. I never said that they are not good but they are average. That conference is weak and averaging 35 is just an illusion in high school. Everyone knows if you are beating a team or losing to a team kids will give up in later quarters. Walkertown made 2 big mistakes that changed the complexity of that game. Not to say they were winning at half. Your young RB is why you won. I think that any team that is good in the fronts are above average. You have size on d-line but depth will definitely be your problem and that is why I said average. This team is not as good as the team that lost to East Duplin, and East Duplin was not the number seed in the East.
Much Respect,

Much Respect,

You make some very valid points, but I really think you are underestimating Neal as a QB. Walkertown was probably his worst outing all season. The passing game was out of rhythm, and I think he may have had some injury issues that game.

Blessed with some of the best pass receivers in the state, Neal has completed an amazing 76 percent of his passes (143 of 188) with only two picks. Totals are 2019 yards and 26 touchdowns. His scrambling ability is second to none and he distributes the ball like a great point guard (which he is). Not bad for a first-year starter who is still one of he best defensive backs in the state and could be a top wide receiver.
Side note: last year's Ram starter Al Lee (actually a three-year starter) has recently stepped into a leading role at Barton. He had two TD passes and 215 yards in a win over Catawba two weeks ago and followed with a 165-yard passing effort in a loss to Limestone. Barton has one more game this Saturday.

We still had that game pretty much wrapped up in the 2nd half. Very easily could have been a 3td win.
