Reidsville at Rockingham

Yea we will lose by 30 if we bring this kind of play next week. If not for Widerman and Kendre Reidsville would be 0-3.

I saw the Rams tonite for the first time and left underwhelmed to say the least...Reidsville is a long ways from being a top ten team...Offense has potential but the defense is missing something..............Injuries are a big factor but good teams have to find a way...we'll see........still hearing conflicting reports on whether a couple of players will be back any time soon....................
 
Some stats:
First Downs - Reidsville 14, RC 16
Total Yards - Reidsville 330, RC 285
Turovers - Reidsville 2, RC 3
Offensive plays: Reidsville 48, RC 56
Penalties: Reidsville 10-119, RC 1-15

Individual:
Reidsville - Paul Widerman 8 carries 1`20 yards, 1 TD; Al Lee 12-of-22 for 198 yards (first two interceptions on the season); Kendre Harrison 4 catches, 120 yards, 2 TDs, Cam Jones 7 catches for 77 yards; Tyrese Turner 2 sacks.

Rockingham - Brice Baker 27 carries, 127 yards, 2 TDs, 13 of 22 passing for 139 yards; Maleek Bryant 7 receptions, 94 yards.

Page christened their new turf field tonite vs. Mount Tabor....they were losing 40-6 in the 4th qtr last I heard....Western Alamance barely squeaked by Cummings last week.......Eastern Alamance is 2-0 and ready to get revenge next week versus the Rams..........

Of course you always assume the worse with injuries, LOL! Only injured player who may be questionable to take the field next Friday at Eastern Alamance will be Paul Widerman.

I think we'll definitely see Cobb. I think Flip will be back but not sure if he'll be 100% game ready. I don't think D will be back until conference play. Widerman is a guess at this point.
Rockingham was much better than I thought. Nothing fancy. Actually, think they should throw even less. They remind me of Mt Herritage. I have always thought that is the offense RC should run.
As far as Reidsville goes, I haven't seen the swarming to the ball defense we're used to seeing. I haven't seen a vocal leader that rallies the team. Widerman, Kendre and Jones are looking fantastic. Saw some spark in Lee and Turner. Just haven't seen that Rankinish type of "F This Let's Go".
I think we'd be fooling ourselves if as a whole we're ready for Clinton or Monroe at this point. Do we have the talent and opportunity, absolutely!
As always, just my opinion
 
15 yards has no meaning the following week when someone is out, but it appeared that Widerman was horse collared in the endzone.

Wentworth Swim Club needs to spend some money before that coach decides to leave. No yard markers on sidelines. The chain crew equipment looks worn out. The lines on the field looked like they were painted on last year.
 
Cam Jones looks like the most polished outside WR the Rams have had in years...Its showing why he has that D1 offer from Boston College in the ACC

Yeah, he reminds me of Jerome Simpson or something. With flips return it should open even more with him and Kendre. I think we have more defensive concerns than offense. Offense issues are mostly injuries. Defense needs to be more physical.

Even when Flippen returns, Jones is the best receiver on that team.

Rockingham is not that good, issue is Reidsville interior D line Isn’t that good. They have no dogs in the middle and they got exposed. If that same group is on the field next week they will lose. As far and them Rankin brothers manning the middle at Lb and D-Line they’re gone can’t teach that kind of game leadership and mentality time for someone to step up. But like I said it can’t be taught. I maybe wrong but I think that the Rankin brothers Breon Pass group were the last ones to come out the Reidsville Rec that could explain a lot.

That's not the only issue with the defense though. If that was the only issue, I'd feel better.
 
Injuries are the major issue for Reidsville ... if Widerman is out for an extended period with the foot injury that will be a huge blow to the team's chances. The young players will have to grow up quickly.
 
With the conference being little down outside of Reidsville they will have time to get healthy before playoffs. They can win the conference without these injured players most likely.

I was impressed with Widerman in the championship. That kid was 💯 effort on every play. Seem to be a leader by example.

North Forsyth seems to be very improved though
Andrews is 2-1 and has some of the fastest players in the state. Correy McManus won the 2A state track 100-meter dash (beat Paylor of Cummings) and he teamed with Ja'Neil Harris and Jeremiah King on the 4x100 state champ relay team.

Yeah I was going to mention them as well
 
The same Andrews that put up 6 points on 1A Thomasville? Your teenagers will be fine in conference. Playoffs could be interesting.

Sorry I’m supposed to be over on 1A board but like to check on a couple of teams every now and again.

Yeah, but they still seem to be better than they were last year.

Probably want happen but North Forsyth with open enrollment could be contender overnight with right coaching in place. Coach is doing good Job this year
 
The coach made a good point in the newspaper concerning the flatness from the Rams...

"short week playing on a Thursday"

Maybe moving the game for reasons unbeknownst to anyone backfired a tad bit? The player may have taken that as a sign that it was a meaningless game against an inferior opponent. Kudos to Coach Baker for having his troops motivated, something you havent seen from the Rams this year. Or last. Or the year before.

Playing on Thursday means the Rams coaches can scout their next opponent in person (Eastern Alamance next Friday). Which they did against Northern Guilford Friday night.
 
Yeah, but they still seem to be better than they were last year.
Toughest game for y’all rest of year is probably next week. EA looks like same team as last year as far as personnel and execution. Good luck to the Rams.

It’s about the gate, Money. Friday of Labor Day weekend isn’t the optimum time for high school football.
 
Labor Day is Monday , not Friday. No excuse to have the game a day early. The crowd for Rockingham was terrible too because everyone has to be at school and go to work next morning.
