South Point vs Dudley Regional Final

I'm being told tickets have to be purchased online
If you were wanting to purchase tickets for the championship game in advance at Kenan, they will likely be digital. However, that is not new. UNCG went digital for season ticket basketball team this year so I imagine NC State and UNC have done the same over the years. However, there are always ticketed seats available at the gate.
 
You can buy tickets at the main gate. All three games they had at home used tickets during Rd 1-2-3. Haven't heard of any changes on that.
My wife works at sp and the AD told her we had to buy tickets online through ticket spicket
 
Anything can happen when you play ground and pound ball control offense, but I would be shocked if South Point wins this game.

This game reminds me a lot of the 2002 Regional Final against Carver. They were loaded and was one of the few games in my time that I felt like the real underdog. We ended up losing on that Sunday in a mud bowl field with not a blade of grass on it without our superstar DB Brandon Reid. Hopefully, the results are different this time around.

Yep, they scraped the snow off the field along with all the turf. Then the sun melted the ground and made a pure muddy swamp. First thing, I remember the team coming out in those pristine red & white unis and Coach Devine had them all get on the ground and wallow during the pre-game warm-ups. Dedication to getting the job at hand done. That's Red Raider football.
 
Bought my tickets on line today. Great way to handle tickets. That mud field at Carver was something that I have never seen. I expected them to move that game to another venue but it did not happen.
 
If SP can control the line of scrimmage they have a shot as as long as they can stay close on the scoreboard. Dudleys front 7 are the best I have seen all year other than ours. Number 44 at linebacker for Dudley is a awesome run stuffer. We had runs that would have been big gainers for us against any other team limited to 3 yards by him and the Panther D. Number 44 reminds me of that awesome lb at Chambers a few seasons back. SP needs to grind it out against Dudley and keep those chains moving. A low scoring methodical game with no turnovers would be ideal for SP. In my opinion this is not the best Dudley team I have seen but they are the real deal on both sides of the ball. Good luck to SP and safe travelin' for the fans. I have not decided what game I am going to. Hough and Chambers is alot closer but SP/Dudley is a good match up plus those tasty fish plates are

D


DBoyz are about to meet DBone! I ain’t apologizing for hurt feelings. You are about to meet a special kind of tough. I assume you can dial 911 from a phone booth!
That's real cute...lol Keep that energy by 8:00 I'll be checking on ya.

I remember that week vividly - most of this area (GSO/WS) had been without major power (heat and water) for about 2-3 days prior to the game day courtesy of a snowstorm followed by a major ice storm that took out most of the power. I think I got my power back on Saturday and still had not thawed out sufficiently to go to that game. Some areas were still without power until about the 10-14 of December.
 
Evidently the Greensboro N&R interviewed the Kings Mountain coach Greg Lloyd and Eastern Guilford coach Tony Aguilar on what to expect. They didn't name which coach said which section or parts of each section to protect them.


These are my personal opinions and not based on anything conclusive that I know about either coach.:
Anyway, I think that Greg Lloyd spoke mainly in the 1st and last sections, a little on the defensive side; while EG's coach spoke predominantly in the defense and special teams sections.

 
GreensboroSports.com has had a couple of articles as well about the Red Raiders.


 
Sounds like Dudley’s got some big ol boys on both sides of the ball. According to everything I’ve heard and read, it sounds like South Point may as well just stay home. They don’t have a chance. I DON’T THINK SO! That’s what Shelby thought the last regular season game of the 2019 season. If you prepare, give it all you got, play smart error free ball; then you got a chance. Surprise the world Raiders. GO BIG RED

We beat South Point 49 to 21 in final game and went on to win the State Championship against Salisbury in 19.
 
You are probably right. South Point’s final game in 2AA is the year I was referring to. I think you guys lost in the second round. Of course South point didn’t make the playoffs that year. I guess that was the “Spring Season”. No disrespect intended. Well not in that particular post anyway.
 
That "X FACTOR" is called heart. That will sometimes beat better teams. IMO that is what kept Pisgah going this year when things got so bad from the first day of the season with all they endured.. SP has heart as well....As they showed many times this year.
I guess we don't have that little thing that beats in your chest right?🙄

Dudley D always nasty... This season their offense is putting up video game numbers. What a combo.
 
Here re the articles GreensboroSports has done on the Dudley O and D lines.



Of particular note was the number of pancake blocks by the HUGE D-BOYZ. Question is if one of our small SP boys gets pancaked by one of their big guys, will be able to blow him up enough to play more ball?

Don't worry guys, just do the SP Crawl.

Just bought my ticket for tomorrow through Ticket Spiket. Pretty neat setup to do it. SP should start selling their home tickets that way too. Looking forward to a great game tomorrow even though we don't even have a chance to win. All the pundits predict a blowout. We may not win but I bet SP is going to make a game of it. Just like Coach Devine used to say, I smell something in the air. Do you smell it?
 
I dont know. Do you? Who knows? Dudley may well have enough talent to win on talent alone. IDK how this game will turn out, but you might bring a good supply of both talent AND heart, just to be on the safe

It's a package deal when you play for the DBoyz heart is mandatory. It's good that you don't know. This time come tommorrow we'll make you a believer 😉

Dudley, WhoaMule will likely be at home tomorrow night. However, most teams with winning traditions have heart and talent. D-boys have size, talent and heart. SP doesn't have much size so have to depend on talent and a bunch of heart to win. So expect your big-sized boys to hurt on Saturday morning, even if they win on Friday night.
 
Wife and I are driving up this afternoon and staying in Greensboro tonight. We both agreed that we will have an early dinner but can't pass on sharing a fish sandwich at a high school football game. That will be a first for me after decades of following the Raiders.
 
Off work. Ready for this game tonight! If anyone is interested in speaking, I will be easy to spot. I'll be the thick haired 32 year old dude with brown hair and blue eyes wearing my black Duke hoodie on the Dudley side. And venturing over to the SP side as well.

Interested too see the Dboyz D against the Red Bone. Styles make fights and this is a fun one on paper. On the other hand I notice by their sched SP doesn't give up too many points... Until they run into athletic teams. With that in mind, we'll see how much they can limit the explosive Dudley offense.

Prediction with no bias:

Dudley 35 SP 21
