Reidsville vs owen
- Thread starter tarheel fan1

I hope you can overlook the extreme confidence expressed by some Ram fans.
When you are favored by 50 points or so in the power ratings ( and Reidsville will be such a favorite Friday night) its easy to be really confident.
Will you be making the trip down for the game?
calpreps.com early projection would have Reidsville favored 46-8.....you may take that with however many grains of salt you wish...game still has to be played between the goal line and sidelines...blocking and tackling.........................
Oh, stop crying about your ranking. You guys, 99.9% of the time, play/have played your playoff games in Reidsville, and that’s courtesy of your soft schedule. You can’t help who you play and your adms, but trust me, most other programs envy the fact you play your playoff games annually, at home, never ever having to travel, that’s a great luxury to have, and you guys are spoiled by that.
Many are spoiled. Every once in a while it is nice to beat someone on their own field. Their own watered down field.
I am going to stick to my earlier prediction, Randleman will be home in the fourth round as Reidsville hosts the Western 2A final.

I agree. Randleman isn’t even that far away. The schedule needs a overhaul. Looks like we are getting one too
Exactly!!! Less than an hour away, it’s not like you’re traveling 2.5 hours to Shelby, and I don’t want to even imagine how far Owen has to travel, but while you’re bulljiving, Randleman would be a solid non conference program to schedule, being that they are relatively in close proximity to you guys.
Randleman High is 8 minutes from my house. It will not hurt my feelings to win there.
I believe Reidsville's last road trip in the regional playoffs was in 2012 to Carrboro. If my math is correct, that's 17 straight home regional playoff games since. And they earned it.
Well if you guys so happen to make it there and win you wouldn’t host the 4th round you’ll be play at carter Finley Stadium for the championship!!
Nah, you benefitted , in my opinion, and again, you can’t help it. It’s not Reidsville’s fault your conference became so weak. You went from 2012 -‘15 without winning the state championship, because you were not the best team in 2A, but playing a favorable schedule got you those home games, just as it does now. Let’s be honest, once you get past maybe one decent non conference game, Reidsville goes scot free to a number 1 seed/ a high seed, getting home field advantage throughout the playoffs, you have no worries 99.9 percent of the time.
I think you missed my point. Randleman being home in the fourth round as in at the house, practicing basketball, etc as Reidsville hosts the western final. The state championship is the fifth round.
But the 2016 -2018 rams are better than the 2012-2015 rams.
2012 -2014 were solid teams though . Schedule was tougher then too. Played good west Rowan, western Alamance, Northern Guilford teams.
So, how do you know the recent teams are really better, if the schedule was tougher then? Take your 07 team for an example, that team was great, freaking awesome, but some of y’all claim they pale in comparison to the ‘16 and ‘17 teams.
I have no doubt your current teams are/were great, but they are lucky too. Former super power, Cummings is no more, and all the other Blue Bloods with the exception of Lincolnton in most years, are in 2AA. Mt Pleasant used to be a perinneal first or second exit. Now, by the looks of it, they have become a real threat to get to the 3rd or 4th round yearly, depending on when they meet y’all.
In my opinion, man, and not to say y’all are not great, because you most certainly are, sincerely, obviously, factually, but geography and a declining ADM has y’all eating good now, too good. No excuses for y’all not to be at the top or close to it every year. Things have changed recently. I’ve always been pro westerner, but the small 2A east has made a resurgence, while the 2A West has weakened some, not Reidsville obviously, but the comp has.

The east is good now. I don’t think the 2a west has been terrible. Obviously would be great with Shelby and Lincolnton (Lincolnton in the past) . The 2014 team that lost to Shelby was a good team. Think we win states if not for Shelby. I don’t think the 2016 or 17 teamed were better than 07,08 or 09,2016 was comparable.
I’ll say the current team is a question until after the east Rutherford game.
I try and shoot you straight. So I’m not trying to blow smoke up you.
That would be 304 straight games without being shut out. If Rams get double digits, it would be 44 straight on that list (11th best in state, one behind Eastern Guilford. Cleveland - not the Browns - leads with 91 straight double figure scoring games.
Seems like LA wants to take his usual shots to discredit Reidsville's success, like most of the others.. guess we always try to schedule cupcakes for the regular season...guess we've just had a lot of LUCK on our side...guess that's happened 19 times.. Shelby has a great program, but we're all sure they never ever had any luck! Ever !! They earn theirs....Blah Blah..Good luck to the Lions!
Here is how Simmons rates the 2007 Rams compared to later years:
2009 142.2
2016 142.0
2017 138.0
2007 137.7
2008 137.6
2018 135.2 (Current)
I have been to every game all of these teams played, and I agree with Simmons computer ratings. And I believe the weakness of the Rams usual regular season schedule has absolutely nothing to do with their success or lack thereof in the playoffs. They would have won all of those playoff games whether played at home or on the road.
I do believe that this year the overall field for both 2AA and 2A is not up to usual standards and we could see many upsets this year, the weird "adjusted rankings" fiasco notwithstanding.
