SW Randolph at Eastern Randolph

[Chute Boxe Hero]

Oh yeah......conference play starts this week.....

Those pesky Cougars come to Ramseur Friday. Luckily for them, there won't be a fancy Jumbotron to distract them. Just an Icee vendor on the South end. I wonder which version of SWR the Cats will see. The "Albemarle" version...........or the "Asheboro" version?

What is the respective records? Point scored for and allowed?

Both teams come in at 4-1. However, ER's 4-1 is a tad stronger. Ironically, SWR beat Asheboro by more than ER did.

SWR has scored 109 while giving up 82. In contrast, ER has scored 161 while allowing 85. Thirty-five of those allowed were by Eastern Alamance.

Are you on the list?

No sir but thank you. Last year left hander of my 81 team was inducted rightfully so. This year, I’ve heard, my second baseman from the 80 team is going in. Personally I’m hoping they put our entire state runner up team from 81 in. Before we all have to use walkers to get around…

Good interesting or bad interesting.......

On another note....

Congrats to Jani Norwood for being selected to the Shrine Bowl. I will say I'll miss him knocking over players on the basketball court this Winter.

He’s an interesting athlete.

You can be the judge. I’m going to withhold my thoughts. If you read one of my above posts there’s a hint to one but it was before you were born… I think..maybe when you were a toddler.

Kidd, how many inductees in this year’s class?

Truthfully haven’t seen the “official” list. Know two of the gentleman’s names. Also I believe the entire 1983 state champion football team is going in.

Been a lot of discussion in Thomasville about numbers in our pretty new Hall of Fame. All centered around individuals, not teams. Just curious about the philosophy at ER, which I have a lot of respect for.

Apparently bylaws of committee says individuals have to go before a team. Once an entire team is inducted no one from said team is eligible.

Now that’s interesting. Never heard that perspective before.

Me either. Not sure I agree with it but I wasn’t asked to be on committee.

I was. But left when it became apparent that the goal was not to recognize excellence, but sheer numbers to make up for years of not having a HOF.

One problem I have, and it could be just me, is they are getting caught up in what some people did AFTER graduating. I think it should be an Eastern Randolph HOF recognizing individuals who had success inside those walls. Glad athletes went on to succeed in college but there are several I can think of that were exceptional performers in HS who, for whatever reason, chose to end athletic careers at that point. Work,marriages, whatever. I don’t think that diminishes what they accomplished in HS but as it stands apparently I’m in the minority. It’s ok I’ve been in that most of my life anyway.

ER wins by 26, Seth throws his head set twice.

Eastern Randolph should win big.... Albemarle blew out Southwest Randolph

Should. You never know in a rivalry game. That’s why I like conference. Almost every game is one.

The only exception I feel is important is conduct after graduation. We have a few that have significant criminal records as adults. But I tend to agree on the criteria being high school accomplishments.

Curious is Scott Riddle in Eastern hall of fame?

Yes sir

I'll take the "over" on that. I say it'll happen three times.

Game Day!! Let's go, Wildcats!

That was a great, great night to be a Wildcat! One of the best atmospheres I've ever experienced at Burton Cates Stadium. The Cats defended their way to a 35-0 lead at the break and cruised.

Excellent performance from ER last night. Maybe their best all year. If you had the Wildcats Defense/Special Teams in fantasy football, you probably won. Two interceptions returned for TD's by Nicah Taylor. One of which was an absolutely incredible 90 yard run. Kobe Walker blocked a punt, scooped it up, and scurried in for another TD.

Carter Revelle and Lucas Smith also had nice performances. Revelle ran and threw for a TD. He also had a spectacular 90 yard run called back for a hold.

Biggest surprise of last night was not on the field. The High Point University band came to play with the ER band. They sounded awesome. It rubbed off on the ER band, and they delivered a great performance at halftime. Once they started playing, I think it threw SWR off a little.

It was also awesome to see the 1983 state championship team honored. The painting of "83" on each 25 yard line was a nice touch. Was kind of funny to see the contrast between each of the members. Alan Hooker and Charles Arrington looked like they could still play. Rest of the guys looked like they were going to give birth any minute. When Ron started reading out the roster weights from '83, I died laughing.

The Hall of Fame class was indeed "interesting". All of the inductees were before my time so I can't really formulate a good opinion. It was cool to see Phil Burgess inducted. He actually used to post on NCPreps.

 

[Chute Boxe Hero]

As for the Cougars....

I can't figure them out. They look stronger up front than they have in a while. Nathan Ellis is deceptively quick. He's pretty good at making people miss. Their special teams looked great until the blocked punt. I feel like SWR could beat Randleman/PG......but I can also see them losing. I've got to see them again.

 

[bigtime_87]

PAC7 should come down to ER vs. Randleman. Randleman has only given up 41 all year and has held a few good teams down. I think they over power PG like Ledford did.

Well I played with one of them on baseball field. He wasn't on 81 team though. Was surprising to me he was inducted in ER HOF...
PG maybe, if they had one but ER???

I'm very intrigued by ER. How many kids did they lose from last year?

They lost a few key players from last year. However, they have some new ones that have stepped up.

Yeah. That guy. My former baseball coach. Maybe it was the work he did with the American Legion team. He most definitely belongs in PG Hall of Fame.

Yeah heard the guy who played SS back then wasn’t all that bad…
Kinda jealous type apparently…

Especially lost one guy who missed playoffs until playing three quarters against Mt Airy
Can’t replace that one.

What was the record of the 81 Baseball Team?
