Rams first home game. Rams should be fine, but I feel Rockingham could push the rams with the familiarity of Coach Rob. But I would be hoping for at least a 34-7 or 34-0 type game
Rockingham County @ Reidsville
- Thread starter tarheel fan1
- Start date
Another blowout and boring game most likely. This is not a rivalry game. When was the last time Rockingham won this game? I have asked before why Rockingham can't get their act together in football and have been told it is often politics and parental interference. With the success of Reidsville, it is clear there is plenty of football talent in the county and Rockingham should be better. I have never understood the parental interference thing. Wouldn't they rather their kid not play that much if it means a winning team and program? I would if I was a parent and I have a kid on the team. And maybe that means that kid needs to work a lot harder and get better if he wants more playing time.
This was a close game last year (28-19) and Rockingham (2-0) has some talent that Coach Robertson is putting together. The Cougars will probably make the 3-A playoff field out of a top-heavy (Dudley) conference.
Reidsville and Rockingham County have played almost every year since the opening of RC (1977)...the only year they didn't play each other was the Covid year, 20 season (actually football was played in spring of 21 that year)..............Rockingham Co. has only won twice (1988 and 1989)...most years the games have not been close.............a true rivalry requires a little more balance between the 2 schools....................
Yeah, I actually wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't the best player on that team. His middle school team beat reidsville last year due to him.
Just about any team that runs the triple option has a chance against anyone.
That offense will give the Rams linebackers fits.
He had 76 rushing yards on 13 carries their first game against McMichael but only 16 yards last week against Morehead. Still though he is without a doubt their best weapon.
We saw Rockingham Co at the Reidsville Jamboree, and they were getting pushed around by SE Alamance.
Reidsville will win tonight pretty easily, 48-6.

My first varsity game. Cam Jones looks awesome at receiver and Jariel Cobb is incredible. Dionte is great as expected.
Dionte looking pretty good for someone with a "water pistol" for an arm
You were pretty spot on. Rock did look bad in that jamboree.
Bright spot is Malachi Bryant is a good looking freshman
Final was Reidsville 50 RC 7......Cobb had to be over 200 yards rushing...................
243 according to the radio. Still shy of the single game reidsville record of 285 by Tayon Graves.
In my humble opinion, Cobb is one of the most underrated RB in the country. He has everything...speed, quickness, can change direction and he's improved catching balls. He runs like he's pissed at the disrespect
I can see why Florida state and Alabama liked him so much at their camps. I don’t know if Air Force will be able to hold Cobb, imo.

Someone ONCE said :
I watched Neal’s Hudl highlights from that game. He is obliviously a superior athlete, but he has a water pistol for an arm, and if you think quarterback sweeps and screen passes will get it done versus fast defenses, as in Shelby or Monroe, you could be in for a rude awakening. He bounced everything outside. As fast as Shelby’s defense is, I can’t see him having much success doing that. 12-14 88 yards passing is efficient, but again, 90% percent of those passes were WR screens. He’s an athlete playing quarterback.
Cobb had 8 carries for 113 yards, his touchdown run being 89 yards. Take away the td, he had 7 carries for 24 yards. Humble yourself! You’re not as good as you were last year, period. I definitely hope Shelby sees the Rams this season, and both teams are healthy.
I wonder if he will say it twice?

Neal distributes the ball like a great point guard (which he is) ... quick strikes right on target.
Shelby fans have been noticeably quiet lately. Wonder why?
Yes, another boring blowout in a series that is not at all a rivalry. It is not a rivalry when one team gets steamrolled and beaten down 99% of the time.
I seen them in person in August, we scrimmaged them at Elkin. They were hands down one of the worst coached teams I've ever seen. They never adjusted to anything we did and left the middle of the field wide open. Their D was in some weird hybrid D I've never seen before and we ate them up on long runs. They did better vs Elkin but Elkin couldn't sustain a drive. On O they ran a very similar offense to them because of previous HC, but they struggled to run it too. Their best player was their JV RB. Why he was down I have no clue. I would move him up.
I expected a worse score honestly. Until they get solid and serious coaches dedicated enough to get them fundamentally solid and in systems that can use their talent they'll be at 4-5 wins for a while. Doing better than the other 2 schools in RC not Reidsivlle but not saying much. Agreed 100% with the 5th sentence there.
Did the local tv station broadcast the entire game? If so, they usually post them games on youtube. So far haven't seen it.
Running back was on varsity. New coach will eventually improve the team. Realize this was an exceptional team they played this past week.
