Only three questions.

Will the Rams finally be healthy?

Do they still grill those great hamburgers at West Stokes?

Will there be no downpour rain like the last time I was up there?
 
I think we still have the hamburgers. The jv game may be played in the rain. Hopefully you guys will be back at full strength. We need the Forsyth reffs for this game.
 
I would like to see West be competitive against Reidsville but you guys are a little too strong. If our jv's win they win the conference I believe.

The way the rams are current playing and with the injury situation up in the air, it definitely can be a competitive game.

The Ram teams of the past few years were full of excitement and energy. Kids would get hype for their teammates when they score or make a big play, and just have a general sense of enjoyment and enthusiasm. It was palpable from the stands and even seeing games online. I remember Flippen's freshman year when he made some spectacular catches in the playoffs and the whole sideline and stands go nuts. This years team, I cant say Ive seen that. Maybe the playoffs will be different.

Yeah this team needs to come together. Lot of individual talent, but the excitement and energy isn’t right at this time.

We had excitement for about 15 minutes against Eastern alamance, that's it. This team should be called the zombie squad. Hard to watch when they have so much talent.

It’s some animosity amongst the team at the skill positions. You’re not the only one that noticed certain players not celebrating when another player (especially underclassman) make a great play. Several people in the stands was taking about it against eastern alamance and walkertown.

This team is definitely its own worst enemy.

It's called immaturity. A common and sometimes fatal affliction among younger humans.

Where I’m from it’s called hating or jealously. Usually starts at home from an adult in their ear or from their friends in their ear talking about you not getting the ball enough.

For team building purposes it might be a good idea to just play your 2nd and third string against West Friday.
We’re deep at receivers , back ups would start on most teams. OL/DL is where we’re thin. After 1st group it’s a big drop off. last time we were deep in the trenches was on the last state championship team that won states in the spring. The starting linemen now played behind those guys that won states.

It’s a couple of skill guys I wouldn’t mind taking a look at the transfer from smith and the other transfer that’s been hurt.
 
I think Reidsville will be just fine. The players know the tradition and will be very tough to beat in the playoffs.

I think you're right. Most of the team is back from last year. I do think we underestimated the loss of the running back/lb Watlington and Peoples W/R/Db
 
Still wish the middle school program could upgrade their schedule a little...I know they did add Eastern Guilford middle school to their schedule but beating up on the other 4 teams that are in their conference gives out a not so accurate gauge of the teams actual strength...when it translates to the high school level....No blame here....it's just the hand that they are dealt...that being said the Reidsville football program is something we all as Reidsville fans are proud.....especially our outstanding coaching staff......................

Hard to get guilford county school to play Reidsville Middle. they used to dominate the jamboree SE Guilford had. They beat a very good EG middle School team 2 years straight, But that same EG team dominates the other Guilford County Middle Schools. So we’re playing the best middle school Guilford has to offer. Only way to get a new look is to play those Middle Schools in Charlotte or Raleigh. Virginia don’t want to play them anymore.

The problem with playing Reidsville if you're not careful you will complete more passes to the Rams than your team.

I never understand why so many coaches go away from what is working. Many times a team will be running down our throat and then attempt a pass and put themselves in a bad situation. It's really a simple game at the highschool level, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
 
West Stokes had a receiver Parsons that caught everything and was really aggressive as a defensive back and receiver. I think he had 10 interceptions one year getting all the 50/50 balls. Seems like Reidsville has 2 of those types every year. I look for at least one pick 6 tomorrow night because of being aggressive and quicker to the ball.

I remember in 2011 Reidsville and west stokes were really close to playing in states vs each other
 
Reidsville and West Stokes played each other in the playoffs 2019 Western Regional finals won by Reidsville 63-13..........................

When I left the JV game with 6 minutes left to play, it was Reidsville JV 46 West Stokes JV 14.
Not much of a contest.

That leaves the Mid State JV situation more wide open. If West wins next week over North Forsyth (Probably will,) they will at least split it. I think you all have the best shot of splitting it with them.

What a crazy JV conference.

Quick look at MaxPreps and you are right. Reidsville and West Stokes with 1 jv conference loss.

Did notice also Walkertown JV magically beat Reidsville 35-0 in a game that they canceled and wasnt played... which is hilarious as Walkertown has only scored in double digits once all year.. and even lost to Lexington LOL must be sour grapes from the scheduling debacle.
