Looks like a football town to me! Hope all the Rams fans have done well through the ice storms. I came thru on my way to Madison helping EnergyUnited. There is some pretty country out here.

Under normal conditions we could have treated you to the bbq at Short Sugars on your way through town! :) :) :)

I didn't realize the scrimmage still went on. Any reports at all? I would probably assume Rockingham looked a little better
 
Does Reidsville have new football uniforms this year?
Yes. For some reason, they have new alternate gray uniforms.
As the saying goes, if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. So I will not say anymore about spending money on alternate uniforms when the athletic department will make no money this year. I will not say anything about they should have just put black numbers on them and changed the name to SW Rockingham Cougars.
I understand grey is a trend in college and before you say ok boomer, I am gen x. I understand I no longer live in reidsville and do not put as much money in the system, but it makes no sense to me. But it’s just my opinion, and I will be the first to tell you it doesn’t have a lot of weight.
 
Mike Somers was the late 60s speedy guy ... Larry "Speedy" Wilson was in the class of 70 and a member of the 69 team that beat Mount Airy for the championship.

Maybe, the alternate uniforms will not be worn in every game. I am old school. I am not a fan at all with alternate gray or black uniforms. I enjoy Reidsville football very much and I have always like the blue and gold. The kids in this generation think that weari
 
The gentleman I talked to a couple weeks ago,name was Phillip Wilkinson. Brother was called Bones,other brother John. He said Bones was real good basketball player and John was best at football and Phillip played center. The 3 played from 60 through 68.

Gen X has been known to complain about any and everything.

yep I complain when it matters to me. I can think of no reason why reidsville needs gray uniforms. If I didn’t care, it wouldn’t matter if they played in oversized T-shirt’s with sharpie letters. I would not be paying attention to them.

just like a certain nfl coach that has been needing to be fired for years. If he didn’t coach my team, I’d be happy if he stayed around.
