50-0 at the half...Rams have outscored their opps. this year...........475-59...in conference play, Rams have outscored their foes 198-0......................
 
The rams let off the gas in the 2nd half? I skipped this one, will probably check out Page and Dudley next week.
 
The Rams had 2 possessions in the 2nd half....scored on their first one with the starters and ran out of downs deep in J-M territory the 2nd time.....J-M actually moved the ball a bit in the 2nd half against the backups and took some time off of the already fast moving running clock..........
 
Only had 2 possessions in 2nd half because of running clock. Scored on first one and got inside red zone and turn over on downs. Scored a td on every possession but 1 for the game.
 
Hard to pad stats playing half of game with running clock ....
Reidsville 355 net yards, J-M 178.
Ram QB Tanner Wilson was 6 of 10 for 171 yards and 2 TDs
Jalen Foster 3 catches for 123 yards and 1 TD and also ran for a TD
Isaac Hill 2 receptions for 90 yards, 1 TD.
Trell Rankin 10 tackles, Alec Abel 8 tackles
Brandon Lee 5 tackles, 1 sack and 1 blocked punt
=
Some 9-game numbers:
Wilson 86 of 131 (66 percent) for 1,424 yards and 22 TDs and only 1 interception (that on a deflection)
Titus Jones 26 of 43 (60 percent) for 481 yards and 4 TDs and 0 interceptions
Austyn Chestnut 23 receptions, 328 yards 6 TDs
Jalen Foster 20 receptions, 401 yards, 4 TDs
Jared Lettterlough 19 for 23 and 5 TDs
Isaac Hill 12 for 289 and 6 TDs
Isaiah Hayes 11 for 221, 1 TD
10 others with at least 1 catch.
Leading rushers :
Bryson Durham 32 for 275, 4 TDs (8.5 per carry)
Letterlough 49 for 259 (5.3) 8 TDs
Kicker Brad Green 3 of 4 on field goals and 52 of 57 on PATs
Chestnut 13 punt returns for 291 yards and 5 TDs (22.4 average) - also has 4 interceptions
Letterlough 7 kickoff returns, 236 yards, 1 TD, (33.7)

Most of the stat leaders have only played into the second half a few times. I'll be one to say it does concern me going into the playoffs, because of game legs late in games and starters rhythm. With that being said, I think we'll be just fine.
 
Does anyone have a score on the B-Y vs. Cummings game...can't find a score anywhere.....maybe nobody went to the game.......lol...............

54-14 Bartlett-Yancey -- it's on another post
 
Andrews is coming on strong the second half of the season. They could hurt some teams feelings in the playoffs. The running back had 240 yds last night

Yeah ... some of the teams Reidsville beat in non-conference are playing better ... McMichael beat Williams last night on a last-second field goal 10-7; Andrews won big, Northern Guilford won over Northeast 35-27 and Northwest Guilford put up 45 points but lost to Glen 47-45.
 
we still haven't established a convincing running game yet. Thats my main concern getting deep into the playoffs. Alone with being in shape if we get into a battle in the 4th qtr.

You guys remind me a lot of us in 2013 when we won the 2AA title. Absolutely blitzing people every week and starters playing limited minutes in 2nd half. I had same concerns about our starters that year not getting into a rhythm and then wondering if we'd be able to turn it on in 2nd half against quality teams and it worked out nicely for us. Stay the course, talent is talent.

Yeah I agree, the passing game is as good as I've seen in a while. The running game is decent, but I feel like it could be much better, not sure what's going on we have 4 good backs.
 
It's not that the running game isnt as good. Think about how many times our defense and special teams give us short fields. We've had very few times we've started on our own 15 20 yard line.

Think about punting....How many times have we punted this year?? 5 or 6 maybe...don't know for sure.....................
 
I went back and looked at the stats. Through 9 games, our defense and special teams have accounted for the following 10 TDs and PATs, 3 Field Goals and 1 Safety. That equals to 15% of our 475 points. It will take a little longer to figure it out, but used Cummings game as a sample and we never started deeper than our own 40. We are also striking in quick scoring drives. The first four drives against Cummings 3,1,3 and 6 plays!
 
Maybe its just me, but I have a feeling that this is a really special squad! Correct me if I'm wrong.
 
Here something interesting if Reidsville wins the states they will be the first Reidsville team to do it without a 1000 yard rusher.
 
Punted 14 times. Have over 1,000 yards rushing as team. No one back gets lots of carries

With running clock in six of the nine games, stat sheet is going to be shortchanged.

Fact checking
Three of the Reidsville Rams championship teams didn't have 1,000-yard rusher:
1969 championship team leading rusher was Jim Amos with 874 yards
1970 championship team leading rusher was Lee Cobb with 883 yards
2008 championship team leading rusher was E.J. Foster with 789 yards

There were 1,000-yard rushers in these championship seasons:
2002 - Anthony Crews with 1,104 yards
2003 - Antoine Terry with 1,184 yards
2007 - Tayon Graves with all-time Reidsville record 2,173 yards
2009 - E.J. Foster with 1,342 yards

Say what you will about a weak schedule but those of us that know the game of football know that this team is a quality team. If you look at the last couple of years be honest with yourself. Those teams did not have what this team has. Others can say that we did not score against them hell, those of us that know the game did not expect us to. The team we have now can play with any of them and we know this. So let everyone talk and let the games be played. If some of those talkers can man handle this team then my hat will go off to them. No questions at all. If we can stay injury free we will be there in the end against whomever. Let's look at this NW scores 45 against Glenn. This did not happen to us. Andrews is now in 1st place in their conference with a running back that had 260 yds rushing last Friday night. Eastern Guilford is at the top of their conference. We went toe to toe against them in their jamboree. We always knew that when this Sr, Jr and soph class got together it would be special. So let's just keep playing and we will all see what happens. If you win a state championship the trophy will not say *yeah but they had a weak schedule*. The other 18 sure don't have that written on them.

Well said.

It's funny how some schools think they play murderers row...
 
I actually think our JV could win the conference, I'm sure it would be tough though. Jvs would get slaughtered by hpq, ng and nwg. And probably lose to McMichael.

I take that back i would take a healthy by team over our jv

Well that escalated quickly.....so defensive....that tells a lot about how you really feel.
 
Both would give Reidsville a game, especially Chase. They have athletes on that team. Heck, you guys struggled w/ East Rutherford a couple of seasons ago,


We struggled with East Rutherford last year. But i wouldn't read much into that reidsville was an average team at best and barely won a bad conference last year.

Top receivers on last year's team were on injured reserve during playoffs. Much improved in pass-catching this year.
Also, conference was much better last year. Graham, Cummings and J-M all had several talented seniors.

Yeah we were probably a top 10 team if we stayed healthy. The conference was better last year but still wasn't very good.

But when those injuries hit we were a average team
 
72 and Lion. If our schedule sucks so bad, and according to your post Reidsville shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as you guys, why do you even worry with us? We're just blowing hot air. Why waste your energy on an "overrated" team? Why do come on a post to point out what you already feel is a foregone conclusion? I might be wrong but I haven't read a single post where Reidsville fans are claiming victory over anyone. I've read tons where we think we can contend with anyone in 2A this season.
