It's always great when a small public school beats some of the very best private schools in the county. Doesn't happen very often.

it will be tough for the rest of the conference. I wish the rams had a guard or wing that could give production off the bench.
That’s why these wins are always really good. We beat two really good private school and a solid FarmVille team.
Gretna out of va is undefeated, that could be a really big game in febuary for the rams.
Caldwell Academy bounced back from loss to Reidsville to beat Raleigh Broughton 63-54

They lost to Greenfield. Rough go for them, but still a solid team that we may see again
Sorry I had no play by play. I was at game and to in to it to message on here. Neal is just that good. Don’t be shocked when Duke or another top basketball program calls on him for a Big 5 scholarship. I truly believe that’s going to happen by this summer. Great job Rams. Proud of everyone involved
Would like to see Reidsville play better competition. John Wall tournament was ok but didn’t host the caliber teams it has in the past.
Looking forward to that game...watched Gretna play football in playoffs and they definitely have some athletes...I know different sport but alot of same players on both teams
I do agree the overall schedule could be tougher. But the teams rams played in the John wall were tough. It really doesn’t get much tougher than that, imo.
Dominating Caldwell and st Anne’s?They have division one guys as well.
Also meant to post reidsville coaches made some good adjustments, picking up Cole closer full court with j9 on him. Then putting the Mallory kid in a box and 1 at the end of the game.
Caldwell
5 star Cole Cloer-- every power five that matters has offered
Jaylen Cross -- committed to UNC- charlotte, had offer from Wake Forest
St. Anne's
Chance Mallory -- 4 star -- Was commited to Virginia
Willard-- Committed to St. Joes
#0 -- Committed to Queens (D1)
Reidsville is playimg D1 talent and winning
Neal and Harrison are top tier Power 5 D1 guys. Size be damned, if there was no transfer portal Neal would have bigger offers. Harrison we know about. J9 can sneak into that level but I believe he would be a good addition to a mid major right now. Scales has size and talent and is D1 in another sport. Cam Jones as well, and he is a "glue guy" on the court. Bench has some energy guys with skill and can fit in.
Competition is great, yea, but Rams should seeing bigger margins in my opinion. Once 0 is a full go Rams will be unstoppable.
Well you can't say "St Anne's didn't have a Chance". They didn't have enough of one. Neal is amazing. He understands the game and how "this" particular game needed to be played. At times I questioned why he did not put up more three's, he hit's them at over 50%. Three's was not what we needed. That is why he kept pushing the ball under the basket. They came out on him and he made them pay.
Cam Jones has signed for football and Scales has signed for baseball (6-8 shortstop)!
I think that's right.
I think that's right.
Really think Scales baseball position could be outfield...in his younger years when my oldest grandson played travel ball with him he also did some pitching......good baseball player..................
I wonder if scales could get some basketball looks as well.
Reidsville's presser at The John Wall was pretty good. Check it out- thejohnwall.com
Dionte Neal is a gem. Rarely you find a young man as talented as he is and at the same time is as humble as they come. He is a true leader and a generational talent.
It's extremely rare that you find an athlete that can do it all ... Dionte led the state in interceptions as a freshman, was a great receiver as a sophomore and easily switched to quarterback and set the school record for completion percentage as a junior. On top of that, he's one of the best point guards in the state (if not the best). Since he sticks to two sports, we'll never know how superb he could be in track & field, baseball or maybe even golf or tennis. My bet is that he could excel in those sports on a high school level as well.
