West stokes @ reidsville

- Start date
For the first time in four weeks the Rams will have a normal, on the field practice routine.
Very difficult to show improvement or play well if you never practice.
On a positive note, Johnson and Widerman are expected to be cleared for practice maybe next week.

I also don't think critics of Reidsville understand that Johnson is probably projected to be Reidsville best player and hasn't played yet. Having a tandem of widerman and johnson back at linebacker shores up a lot. Also they are really helpful on offense, Johnson is pretty fast as well, but not flippen or people fast, but he can take it to the house.
At one point he was starting on offense last year. It was briefly though. He was at sb and it did majevthe offensive more dynamic
Anyone know why McMichael is looking so strong recently?
Good scheduling. They've won 5 games against teams with a combined record of something like 10-21? Their losses were to powerhouses RC & BY.
The Phoenix is improved but they will be playing for a chance at 2nd when the travel to Walkertown this Friday. If they can pull out a win there (I'll take W-town) and survive Reidsville, they can clinch 2nd by beating N. Forsyth team in their season finale.
As is their custom, the Reidsville Rams will beat McMichael by 40 or more.

Yeah, if he doesn't want to I certainly wouldn't force it on him
Any schools looking at him, or any of our guys? That you know. I know cam has at least one offer.
You may recall the Rams had a couple of fairly decent WRs on last years team. Didn't really need him on offense then.
No one that I know of sadly. Peoples should get some more offers as we get closer to deciding time.
Will be a good test for Reidsville's defense to see if they can do what they can do or not. West is very well coached on offense and runs a system to fit their kids perfect. You got to play good assignment ball to shut them down. Reidsville struggled a bit vs North Forsyth and their speed but I was impressed at how they shut Walkertown's Wing down.
In the spring season, Johnson had 4 carries for 42 yards and 6 receptions for 70 yards and 3 TDs.
I witnessed the Reidsville vs. Rockingham middle school game today (first half) ... Reidsville Raiders scored almost every time they touched the ball ... it was 40-something to 0 at the half. These future Rams have great size and speed ... but kinda hard to really tell against an inferior opponent, but Raiders won their first three games 44-0 (Eastern Guilford), 48-0 (Eden) and 40-0 (Western Rockingham) so this was the norm.
They should be good. At least two of their players should be playing JV. (I believe there’s at least one more) #1 (starting QB and best athlete) and #5 (6’4 WR/DE) both played middle school football in 2019. The proof is on the Reidsville Middle football Facebook page. They both signed the 2019 Conference Championship poster. For those who are unaware you only have six consecutive semesters to play middle school athletics, however only four in football since you can not play in the sixth grade. So, how can you be a seventh grader in 2019 and still be playing in 2021?…… So yes, they do look like a JV team playing against a middle school team because they are….
I'm helping coach the middle school o line. There are 4 or 5 absolute studs on the team. Dionte Neal 8th grade QB is outstanding. Great passer even better teammate and person. Expect big things from him on the field and more on the hardwood. Jaquez Tines just turned 13. 6'2" 240 OT DT. Has unreal natural talent. Doesn't understand his own strength. Kendre' Harrison 8th grade 6'5" 247 DE TE. Long and lean. Savion Johnson 8th grade FB LB. Hardest hitter on the team. 💯 Player on both sides of the ball. Speed everywhere. Size on both sides of the ball. We could have scored any time we wanted. Crazy thing about it is is we have more 7th graders than 8th. I'm not kidding when I say Tines and Harrison are high Power 5 prospects. Tines dad and brother are 6'6. Harrison is SEC size now.
Bashing 13-14 year old kids over a middle school game, Pitiful adults in this ole Rockingham County
I’m not the one that came on here talking about inferior opponents and winning 40something to 0 is the norm. There is not one statement or claim that I made that is not 100% correct. I’ll admit they would still be winning without those players but, inferior might be because they are not redshirt 8th graders.
Not intending to say anything negative about Reidsville Middle opponents, just that this edition of Raiders is extremely impressive. And it would be good to see how they would perform against better competition.
The opposite is true in other sports where Reidsville middle and high school can’t field competitive teams and have been on the losing end of mismatches on a similar scale of how Reidsville has been dominant in football.

No disrespect, but its mostly the same thing every year. Holmes had some terrific teams in the early to mid 2000's when I was in school. Reidsville needs to play at least 2 guilford or maybe va schools on their schedule.
Even without #5 and #1 Reidsville middle school would have put the same beating on Rock middle and the other county schools as they’ve always done. There’s talent behind #5 and #1 also.

You're correct. You never see or hear a word from anyone when RMS softball or varsity softball gets their brains beat in year in and year out only because there are only 2 to 3 girls who've ever played the game. Want to talk about frustrating. I've lived it with my daughter for 6 years. You also never hear a word if a kid that lives in the Reidsville district leaves for Rockingham baseball, softball or women's golf...all of which are very good programs.
I had a rockingham parent say to me that the whole team must have failing grades because they are too good at football. That is the state of mind we are dealing with here.
*looks at post history*
Just another bitter person from Wentworth that worries about Reidsville when their own beloved Cougars have plenty of their own problems they seem to ignore, and that is exactly why RCHS is considered the landfill of Rockingham County schools.
even die hard Reidsville fans like myself admit that this middle school conference is beyond pitiful (in football)..a shame that school board for the most part won't allow the middle schools to upgrade schedules and opponents....not just Rockingham County....this is true in most counties in regards to middle school programs
Reidsville Middle played Eastern Guilford; Rockingham Middle had Northern Guilford on the schedule (game wasn't played due to virus)

You totally missed the point, or maybe you didn’t miss it because you wanted to intentionally try to embarrass/call out or shine a negative light on 13-14 year old kids. In any event, do you buddy but instead of whining about decisions ADULTS made how about stop CRYING and focus that energy on developing your kids so they become better players and the score will not annually be 40 plus to 0
No crying. You guys have a great program and a top notch coaching staff for a middle school program. Just peeling back the curtain to show that all things are not equal. Just don’t understand why you are using ineligible kids? As I’ve stated before, you guys would still be winning without them.
They're not ineligible. Do you honestly think the school board or another school wouldn't raise hell if Reidsville was playing with a player that's not allowed to play? Come on man!
