TOP 5 WEST 11/4

I want to believe ER and Randleman are good. I just really struggle with the Trinity thing. I have seen Trinity play 3 times this year and they might be the worst team I've seen all year. I haven't seen North Stokes or Wilkes in person to be fair, but I feel like Elkin and Alleghany would beat Trinity with a running clock. I know ER beat them by a wide margin, but the fact that they allowed them across mid field is worrisome.
Randleman offense reminds me a lot of Starmount.
 
I had the EXACT same thoughts when I looked at the ER-Trinity score. Starmount beat Trinity 42-0 the first game of the season and I thought the first half of that game was the worst Starmount has looked all year. I lean to thinking that Mt Airy and Starmount are the two best defensive teams in the 1a West and possibly the entire 1a.
I think Trinity had 3 first downs and one was in garbage time vs backups. Of course, it was the first game of the season and both teams were sloppy with penalties and such. The other two times I saw them (Wheatmore, PG) they were just as bad if not worse. What they lack in talent, they make up for by being undisciplined and outcoached.

As far as Randleman looking like Starmount on offense, it might be a similar style but the speed at receiver and QB talent aren't in the same zip code.

I still think ER is a really good team, but they would need a miracle of epic proportions to beat MA.

Buzz, genuinely curious on why you have ER below MH and Starmount?

I have ER, MA, STM as the 3 best teams with ER #1. Granted I haven't seen them play in person. MH could maybe be in the mix with the top 3 if they have expanded the offense with more weapons and much improved defense.
Everyone forgets how good mountain heritage is until that one trick pony runs you over

You think ER is below Mt Airy, Starmount and Heritage?
 
Will be in MA ( po dunk town ) in the 4th rd . Your team will be at the house in the 5th
Do my shtt undercover, now it's time for the blubber, blabber watch that belly get fatter.
Fat boy on a diet, don't try it , jack your ass like a looter in a riot.

Starmount doesn't have a receiver close to the talent of #1 at Randleman. He is as good as the Reidsville guys in my book. He has offers from UNCC and Coastal Carolina not sure who else

I believe that one of the touchdowns was an 88 yard kickoff return. The other was a 35 yard pass reception…
Final was 57-13 with ER only putting up 7 in fourth quarter. So after three it was 50-13…

Yeah, I went back and watched the video again. I remembered him taking a handoff but it was an orbit.

He seems just athletic enough to go 0-1 vs freaking Trinity.

Just kidding. Seems like a good ball player.
He is and will be playing on Saturdays in the fall.
I edited my post to include height and weight of Farlow on the other side at WR

They have two players that tall? Surely they didn’t lose to, I don’t know, Trinity?

I get it, you can’t coach size. He will be a good project for a lower level school. It will be awesome to see how he develops.

Yeah Trinity loss was a shock to everyone who follows local high school football. Funny thing is you’ve apparently seen Trinity play three times! Heck that’s almost more than I’ve seen ER. You ain’t an alum are you? Looks like we should know some of the same folks…

And I wouldn’t put it past Roundabout High to have lost to the Bulldogs on purpose just to lower ER’s RPI!!!
Goldston a project at lower level school?
Don’t know but ain’t the ones @kingbluedevil mentioned D1?

Shoot I've just been having a good time getting you to defend your enemy 🤣

I guess "G5" schools are still considered a lower level. It isn't meant as an insult in any way. Wake had a big lanky receiver named Scotty Washington a few years ago that was really raw coming out of high school. Turned out to be a really good player. This guy reminds me a little of him.

No, I have a family member that plays for them. I am a Yadkin County native. I only know a few people in the Trinity/Archdale area.

Only reason defending Roundabout is because people keep bringing up Trinity game. Before that they were highly rated in EVERYONE’S thinking. Especially after winning second game. Most digital “experts” have them in west semis in 2A.
I wouldn’t care, personally, if they went winless during a season. Just that a few folks are diminishing the ER win over them because of that other game.
In about a week it all begins again and then perhaps we will learn more. As always playoffs come down to matchups the further a team goes. Some are better for a team than others
