Reidsville Football Updates

Last 2 seasons Mountain Heritage beat Bevard 30 to 7 and 28 to 14 last year with both Bevard scores coming off a blocked punt and fumble return .they could not move the ball at all against Heritage.I've got the up most respect for Reidsville and there fans. there program is a class act .I belive that battle Reidsville and Heritage had last year took a lot out of Readsville that's the only reason I could think of for Reidsville almost losing to Brevard. that game shocked me .when I seen the score .now AC Reynolds is no ordinary mountain team and as much respect that I have for Reidsville AC Reynolds beats Reidsville last 2 year's by at least 14 points they are a much bigger school and they have depth and a balanced offence and there defence is always tough they are a morrow image of Reidsville with more depth and have won at least 2 4a state champions and the Last one was not too long ago.if they played this year Reidsville should win .AC Reynolds will be down this season compared to most years ,and I also feel that if Reidsville have had to come to Mountain Heritage the last 2 season's those 2 games might have had a difference outcome we lost by 7 both games last 2 year's and Mountain Heritage if you have never been here is a very hard place to win a game.I'm not taking anything away for Readisville ,but to me they were down alittle last 2 seasons compared to most years and they still win it all last year and could have also won in 2017 . now most years Readsville is just way better than anybody in the 2a West .Readisvilles coach is one of the very best and I'm a big fan of Readsville but for Readsville to almost lose to Brevard just shocked me .what Brevard accomplished last season was just amazing to go on the road 4 strait weeks and almost win the West .Brevard had to have a very low seed in the playoffs to not even get one game at home..Last year was the first year in many years that Brevard was competive ,but back in the 60s to early 90s Bervard had some great teams and was one of the better progrsms in the state ..Heritage opens up with Brevard this Friday night..I think Heritage wins by 14 our defence should be one of our best ever and as of now we have 43 players dressed for varsity that's huge for us especially if it helps enough where our best players dont have to play on both sides of the ball .but I'm concerned about our backfield. but I felt the same way last year and some one stepped up..I belive we will see a rematch of Reidsville and Northeastern in the state championship game and as it was last year it will be a awesome game with Reidsville pulling it out at the end.WRH is the only other team that I can think of that could throw a wrench in my prediction because we all know when they are good there tough to beat..this post is just my opinion, but I have seen all the Western teams I've talked about play multiple games over the last 3 season's but ever one sees the game differently..

"AC Reynolds beats Reidsville last 2 years by at least 14 points"

Had to work fri nite so I didn't see the Jamboree scrimmage with NE...can anyone give an honest view of how Reidsville looked??.....just by seeing a lack of posts I would infer that they didn't do as well as fans are expecting...…...
 
Since Reidsville keeps talking so much about how much you could beat AC Reynolds why don't you just put them on your schedule for the next 5 years. How about putting some real teams on your schedule. Replace the Mcmichael game with ACR. Mcmichael which is Hardly ever any good. Man up play somebody, quit talking about who you could beat show us.

Why don't you guys schedule East Forsythe, West Forsythe or Wake Forest. They are your neighbors not far to travel. Now that would be a real challenge. Keeping it real.

We can't take micmichael off the schedule, they are a county school. No one said we would beat acr, just saying it would be a good game. I said I'd give a slight edge to us. We don't control the schedule. We play Eastern Guilford which has been a good 3a team.

Shelby love to come to our post making negative comments for some reason, yet you never see Reidsville poster coming on their post making negative comments. Who’s sweating who.

That’s where you’re wrong, bro. Franky used to stay in our threads taking shots, as did a few others, especially when we were off to a shaky start last year, and it was thought that we were down.

Can’t front, though, every time I’ve seen ACR slept on by a couple of you guys, I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone, thinking, “they just don’t know”. They are not your average, one dimensional mountain team. They run the spread, and throw the ball all over the place, balanced offensively. Their quarterback last season signed with ECU, their 2015 all world athlete, Rico Dowdle, plays runningback for the Gamecocks. That’s a good program. Hear they may be down this year, though. Can’t go by scrimmages, though.

It’s interesting that y’all would even schedule a 1A team, though, it does appear that y’all are record and constant “homefield advantage in the playoffs” conscious, rarely taking any risk that could possibly leave an L on that record, very calculated moves. Surely not everyone is ducking the Rams.
 
LA you have a serious bone to pick with the Rams :cool:. I never saw Shelby reaching out to play them in the regular season:D

I didn't mind scheduling one of east surry or Mount airy. East Surry in particular is supposed to be good. But having two of them is a bit much.

Schedules? I dont see Shelby playing Charlotte teams, which are geographically closer than some opponents on their schedule. Why is that? Likely same reason few 4A Greensboro teams play the Rams, they dont want to risk looking bad against a little 2A school.

Shelby is very fortunate to have quality county opponents, as well as SP in the conference. Rams would love to play bigger, better, local teams but take what they can get. They might be 1AA, but East Surry and Mt Airy are as good as any team in 2A/2AA Eastern Guilford is loaded with talent from 3AA.

:rolleyes: Man, stop it! The same East Surry who lost to Tarboro 50-10 last season, the Mt Airy who lost
40-0 to that blown out East Surry team? Both as good as any 2A/2AA teams? Come on, man, stop playing. If y’all don’t beat these two teams by at least 28 plus, I would be concerned.

High Point Central being 4a maybe more of a test than both of them for us. East Surry does have 3 division 1 players, so we will see if they have enough to beat Tarboro this year.

And to clarify my main point about East Forsyth and Acr. Reidsville and East Forsyth both had openings week one, my point was Reidsville is about 30 mins from East Forsyth, I'm not sure why the game didn't happen compared to the trip to acr.

Shelby has always been afraid to play good Meck Cty teams. To make it look good, once in a while they schedule a mediocre to low level Meck team like North Meck for their 3rd game or Myers Park(when they were a little less than avg) for a scrimmage.

To be fair every few years they(and Crest) will schedule a Gaffney SC for home and home and get blown out in the first or second game. But for some reason, Meck Cty(even Spartanburg Cty - SC) which are way closer than the mountain schools, they're scared to death to schedule.:D

What does 2018 have to do with 2019? Nothing. But.. since you like to look at stuff that happened last year that has no bearing on this year...

2018 Week 10, Shelby 31 East Rutherford 14

2018 Round 2 Playoffs, Rams 41 vs East Rutherford 6

Excuses incoming in 3...2...1....

Yeah, I also found it interesting in 2018 that North Davidson beat Cummings by the same margin y’all did, yet, we beat ND by 21 points, so that tells me that we would have beaten y’all by 14-21 points.:rolleyes:

....lol.....Reidsville beat Cummings 60-0 and it could've been 100 if Coach Teague had wanted it to be....your argument sounds like something the Democratic Party would've come up with...………...

How do you know North Davidson couldn’t have put a 100 on them too, though? East Duplin beat Graham by 70 a couple of years, seems to be a common theme now whenever your conference opponents play quality competition. And, I give a rat’s ass about politics.

To be fair Reidsville's conference schedule does seem to be as strong as wet tissue paper. I guess it does keep them healthy.

I feel even worse for the jv players. Most of these teams don't have jv's.

Morehead and Mcmicheal tried to get in the conference this year, but everyone said no besides by and Reidsville. We should remodel the conference to be Morehead, Reidsville, Mcmicheal, By.
 
Reidsville needs to prove to us they can play with the big boys. How about scheduling some decent football opponents. Give me a break McMichael, Mt Airy, and Morehead really!! tough. Keep scheduling cupcake opponents.

Again we have to play the county teams. Mcmichael,Rockingham County and Morehead are in our county.
 
What I don't get you hear all year them cupcake teams are gonna hurt come playoff time and seems to me Reidsville seems to win championships an 0-10 team could beat a 10-0 team all matters who wants it bad enough. Heard cupcakes for years and seems Reidsville keeps on rolling all you can do is play who every is in front of you same come playoff time. You either win or go home.
 
Crashing Reidsville threads is the sweetest joy next to “getting laid” as The Mule would say in the late 60s, early 70’s. The man was built like a Greek god back then, with hair like Goldilocks. I saw the throwback pictures. Why y’all think they call him The Mule? The man was hell! Take a moment, and salute this legend.*lifts up glass of sweet tea*

It's a dead horse that keeps get beat. No one piped up when we had Cummings and Western Alamance on the schedule and and both were title contenders. No one piped up when we played 3x defending 3aa champs Northern Guilford and had them on the ropes No one piped up when we played Andrews and they were consistently on of the top programs in the state. No one piped up when we played NW Guilford a few years back and got drug nor did you praise or give credit when we beat the hell out of them 3 years in a row...btw they have 2300 students. No one is satisfied unless we take a loss and even if we do no one is satisfied.
We all need to take a long hard look at the long term viability of football in NC. Small schools are struggling to field teams. Kids aren't playing. Schools like Shelby and Reidsville are spoiled. We remain on top because of our past success. At the end of the day, play who they put on the schedule. Beat who's on the schedule. Play for rings. The cream is always going to rise to the top. The best teams play in the 3rd and 4th rounds regardless of who they play in the regular season. No one remembers who you had to beat to get to the RING

McMichael and Morehead are now 2-A but they had to remain in the Mid-State Conference, which is now a split conference, due to the scheduling nightmare it would have created to disband at this point. The winner of this year's McMichael-Morehead game will get a playoff bid (Morehead made it in 3-A last year).

In the next realignment, Reidsville will have Morehead and McMichael as conference foes which will open up more dates for non-conference out-of-county opponents.

The new conference will probably have Reidsville, Morehead, McMichael, Bartlett Yancey and what's left of the Alamance County 2-A schools. Hopefully Carrboro, NCSSM and Durham School of the Arts will be out. Will save a lot of travel costs.

And, by the way, some of those schools in Reidsville's conference may be weak in football but they are state powerhouses in other sports.

Jog my memory....

When did Reidsville have Northern Guilford on the ropes during the SAME years that NG won titles?

You could be right I just don't recall
 
34-33 Northern, Rams went for two in double ot. In 2015 13-10 Rams fumbled late with the lead and Northern capitalized. Really could have won both. 2014 Northern won 33-17, I think they won states that year don't remember.
that 34-33 2OT loss to N. Guilford (2013) was a classic....Rams went for 2 and the win in the 2OT and was stopped inches short...……………….NG was 14-1 on the field that year losing to Crest in state semi-finals...………...
