Top Boys basketball
- Thread starter Vik-Val 86
- Start date
Reidsville vs. Farmville Central on Dec. 28 at 5 pm ... the tournament also includes Broughton vs. Cannon, Richmond County vs. Jordan and Northwood vs. Orange. Loaded bracket for sure.
Reidsville was supposed to play Greensboro Day on Saturday. It sounds like they may have backed out ( Greensboro Day).
A jr, he did play for a little while but left the team. It maybe because he wasn't playing
Yeah, should be real interesting. Boys finally kick off this Thursday against Oak Grove. That's a stern test right out of the gate.
Hadn't played football before, plus he doesn't carry a lot of weight on the 6-6 frame. I've heard he's a good baseball player as well.
What looks to be a good game on December 15 at 8:30 , Central Cabarrus will take on The Burlington School (11-3) I never heard of them. But looking at their roster they have several players with good height. 2 6’8” and 1 6’7”. Does anyone know anything about The Burlington School. Then next day on Dec 16 Central Cabarrus will take on undefeated Hickory Ride at 8:30.
Reidsville opened with 80-41 win over High Point Andrews (0-5). Rams scored 31 points in opening quarter and only 4 in fourth quarter (I assume running clock). Sharpe with 21 and Neal with 20 led the scoring ... Harrison posted 10 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks.
running clock??? what the hell?? in basketball? what's the threshold and can a team get back under the number and play like normal.....geez.......................
Need to put the bench in earlier to keep it under 40 …. Maybe they did and the bench is really good.😄
hey I saw where Reidsville and dudley are gonna play against each other in basketball this year?? on other threads they say the reason they dont play football is for security reasons.....wouldnt basketball be worse than football??
That’s not the reason. Harder to work out a 10 game football schedule than 20+ game basketball schedule.
The Burlington School is a private school. They're usually pretty good. They are defending NCISSA 2A Champs. They're 11-3 this year so far with losses to Moravian Prep, WS Christian National Team and a prep school from AZ
TBS started becoming a real player back in the mid 2010's. They're usually a very fun team to watch.

40 point lead and continues even if the margin shrinks.
People said the same in football. If you’re beating a HS team by 40 in basketball the clock NEEDS to run. Especially on the girls side. Do you know how many jump ball calls are avoided by such?
😂
guess i'm an old chauvinist but i prefer to watch jv boys and then varsity boys......girls need to play on a different night

NCHSAA rules on mercy rule
There should be fewer embarrassing, demoralizing blowouts in high school football and basketball this year, thanks to so-called "mercy" rules approved Wednesday by the N.C. High School Athletic Association's board
You old chauvinist 😂
Ten years!
Most of the boys games don’t end up getting that bad so I understand why you didn’t know.
non sense? my god how many teams are gonna come back from being 40 down? just get it over with
All you got to do to keep it under 40 is call off the press and give the bottom 5 off the bench some PT
Been around for the past 5-6 years. When the talent/skill level is that disparate, it is a blessing. Seen a few with the Whirlies, especially girls, where HS all-star teams seem to be more prevalent. At least in Guilford County.
10 years ago and this comes into effect on the girls games mostly. Some of the players first time playing and teams like Forbush and Bishop McGuiness comes to town it gets ugly fast.
Several good reasons not to play on different night:
Increased cost in paying officials travel. Also doubles the nights good officials must work. I suppose you could send a crew that comprised inexperienced officials with more seasoned officials. Is that what you want for a top level intense varsity game. JV games are learning experiences for players and officials.
Many schools only have 1 gym . On nights when one of the teams is playing it is difficult for the other to practice.
With the 5 quarter rule often times some of the varsity bench is comprised of JV players, especially at small schools. Tough to play back to back.
Increased cost for fans. They would have to pay admission on separate nights and also have to travel on separate nights.
I think keep the system the same.
You obviously haven’t seen really good girls’ basketball Historically, especially at the college level, girls teams have better shooting percentages from the field, the three point line and the free throw line. Girls aren’t spending all their energy trying to tomahawk dunk over somebody😂
Good girls basketball is hard to come by but when it’s good it is pretty good I do admit
Northwest Guilford, Bishop McGuiness, East Burk, Forbush, North Surry consistently have good teams
Central Cabarrus with a win over The Burlington School 84-55. Tomorrow night Central Cabarrus takes on undefeated Hickory Ridge.
