Most of us are somewhat humble. We got 3-4 taking shots. Frankly I've been surprised myself how we've played past couple games. I usually talk more crap about my own team than I will other teams. I got this game at even with edge to whoever wins the turnover battle.
Western Final: Burns vs Reidsville
- Thread starter notanyonesfan
- Start date
Actually, 44.8% according to the ones who've voted on here think Burns will win. I agree that Burns will be the best team the Rams have seen all year. Y'all have been ranked #1 all season. No predictions from this fan, but it has the makings for a great game imho. Sometimes it doesn't work out that way...it will all come down game plan, execution, and focus for both teams. We'll see . Some of our fans like to boast a little too much sometimes. They learned a lot from the CC supper club group ! Lol !! Good luck Dogs. Go Rams !
You just giving that prediction so you can double back if we lose ! You Shelby guys are some slick jokers ! Lol ! But I hope you're right ! 😂
I watched the game last night. Burns getting ahead early in the game proved very beneficial late in the game. I was very surprised both Burns and Monroe allowed so many big plays. Didn't understand why Monroe went away from the pass in the back half of 3rd and beginning of 4th. Kept trying to run out of the I formation. Burns shut it down. At the same time, Burns didn’t keep pushing the ball deep. Monroe allowed the receivers to get behind them on their routes.
Once again, who can put pressure on the QBs, especially on the edge.
Burns has 3 good receivers. QB spreads it around. In my opinion, Reidsville DBs are better than Monroe.
I would like to see what others think from a realistic perspective vs stirring the pot on both sides. I think most people on here don't think Burns will score 40 plus nor do we think Reidsville will blow out Burns.
That is all.

Reidsville posters have been jacking my style and material. I'm gonna start billing you thieves(especially @HoeyMan76 ). My tutelage is not free.
I think the only way we see these numbers are if there are multiple turnovers involved. Like you say, nobody expects it if they are being realistic. The DB’s at reidsville are much better than Monroe and I know we are aware of that from a coaching stand point. I can also say that the Burns DB performance from the Monroe game is the worst they have performed all year, they will be ready to go. I think this game will come down to whose o-line plays better, who has less penalties and which coach can make those in game adjustments and win the chess match…this is how most of your big games are always won and lost.
The future for Neal and Harrison maybe in basketball because both have played for CP3 in AAU basketball and they won a national championship one year against Lebron's younger son and Neal was rated as one of the best players in the nation for his age bracket.
I’m assuming the rams basketball team has to be a fav to win states then?
Heard a line coach for division 1 school in Virginia say that Harrison will be recruited by all the big schools including big name SEC.
Could be good --but a lot to prove. Many other 2A schools, including Cummings, have a lot of star power.
Thanks Goob. What’s chances of you coming this way Friday? I’d bet you will be on ED side this coming Friday
I actually will be coming thru but it’ll be Saturday. Our family is going to Tennessee for a week to relax. I’d love to see your game, Reidsville is one fun team to watch play. I love the offense you guys run. Lol 😂 yes I’d probably find myself on the ED side. I’m just sick because we lost our best player (offense) in our first rd game, it was devastating for us. @tarheel fan1 I’m pulling for your Rams in this one. I think we’ll see a Reidsville/ED final.
I was pulling for Ne vs Wrh. Even though I do respect dogs and his boys as well. Ya'll had a good year though, nothing to be ashamed of.
“Don’t Believe the Hype” Public Enemy 1988
And, I don’t believe the hype. Initially, I was going with 27-15 Burns. “Why such odd numbers, LA”? Burns has a tendency to miss an extra point at least once every game. Reidsville, especially if they score first, likes to go for two at least once or twice a game.
I’m now beginning to think 24-17, Burns. I think this game will resemble the Burns vs Salisbury game. Salisbury had an awesome D, too. The key for the dogs will be not turning the ball over, giving up cheap tds in the return game, pressuring Lee, and limiting Flippen’s screen yardage. They will go over the top with him, too, here and there. Make someone else other than Flip Flippen in the Rams offense beat you. Control Flip! Runningbacks have no wiggle, should be able to contain them.
“LA, you must be crazy thinking the Rams will only score 17 points. We have all world speed that can’t be simulated, not even on Madden”. Nah, saw it far too many times in recent years, this late in the season, against the Shelbys, Northeasterns, WRH, in these “state championship” caliber games. You’d score 14 here and there, I think 21 one year. Those offenses were more potent than this year’s offense. Much of the same, average 60 ppg in the regular season, and the first few rounds of the playoffs, then get in these “championship games”, and that average dips dramatically.
Burns will be better, offensively, than those eastern teams, more balanced on offense. All Northeastern would do is run quarterback sweeps, draws, and power. They were very limited, offensively, but had a championship caliber defense.
Rams have an opportunistic defense that turns take aways into points, and creates short fields for them. They seemingly never have to drive the length of the field, and it’s nothing for them to get a significant amount of their points from pick 6s and punt returns. Make them earn the points the hard way.

good thing is Cumings will go east Rams want meet them until state title
Never count out Farmville Central when it comes to 2A hoops.
Rams play them twice in basketball in regular season. Games should be intense as they are rivals.
I think our coach did a really good job this year. I’m really excited about our team we’ll have returning next season and I think we’ll be the favorite to win the East. Tar Heel fan I think we would’ve won that game easily if we hadn’t of lost our rb. When we lost him we lost over 25% of our offense. The kid was averaging right around 180 yards a game rushing and when we lost him coach had less than a week to try and make changes. As you know we’re similar to Reidsville in that we focus on our passing game and we don’t have a stable of rb’s like many of the eastern teams do. I think you guys will be playing in the final and if that’s the case I think the results will be similar to Shelbys from last season regardless of the opponent
Shelby obviously has a good D against the Rams, but the others you mentioned:
Against NE, Rams have scored 31, 14, and 49 In 3 meetings. Against WRH, they put up 28 and 49.
Burns defense is good, but I wouldnt say out of this world good. Gave up 20 and 40 to Salisbury and Monroe. Are those offenses better than Reidsville? Id lean towards"no" , especially with Salisbury, but that's why the games are played.
I think we are in line for a great contest, probably in the 28-21 range going either way.
Burns is no one trick pony. They will come out running and they have runners. They will not go right at Reidsville's passing defense in the beginning. Reidsville two weeks ago faced another team with runners. That team picked up 106 on the ground,56 through the air, most of that in the 4th quarter against subs. That team tried to pass three times, in the first half, they found Reidsville closing fast, pick city. When Burns finds they can't run they are going to pass. One week ago Reidsville played a team that made their season with a great passer and great D1 pass receiver (finished with 45 receiving). Second play one minute in, all the confidence in world, we can pass on these boys, tossed it long, oh here comes THAT guy (Reidsville has several of them), pick 6. One minute in. The ball in less that 3 seconds traveled from the Maiden QB's hands at the 17 to the waiting finger tips of both the Maiden receiver and THAT guy, on the Reidsville 45. 8 seconds later and the ball crossed at the pylon. Touchdown Reidsville. 11 seconds from the thought that we can pass on these guys, a feeling of certainty turned to trepidation. Meet Flippen. Burns knows about that play. Reidsville gets one pick or just close to one, some football players are going to get cotton mouth.
Reidsville is playing some good ball right now. I know Burns has a player that will garner a lot of attention on the field. Maybe Reidsville will put THAT guy on him, or maybe Neal. Neal was made better by Culliver last week, you know Iron sharpens Iron. Of course he is just a freshman with 13 picks so far.
I feel good about Reidsville.

The confidence has me in stitches

Correction: Neal has 12 of team's 30 interceptions.... McCain has 4 interceptions, Mansfield 4, Flippen 3, Mendoza 2 and Johnson 2. As for the pick-6s: 3 for Neal, 2 for Flippen, 1 each for McCain and Mendoza.

The difference in us and Maiden is that we don’t not rely on just passing. We take what we’re given. Whether it be the inside run, the outside run, screens, slants or over the top. We have no Culliver, we have no Neal. But I tell you what we have and that is some boys that’s going to get on that bus and ride up the road and get off ready to play. The OC might throw the kitchen sink at you, who knows. But if y’all don’t get a running game going, best believe we will be good in the pass coverage. Especially if that QB tries to be the primary runner. Burns D has been my favorite part of this team, hiccup against Monroe to say the least but we got through. Sometimes you just have to impose your will on somebody.

Hey Puppy 12 where you been. Who let you out? Sometimes hiccups aren't easy to get rid of. Your sink had some leaky spots last week. You have Thompson. Somebody said he was the best player in Cleveland County. That would have to make him better than Culliver.
Joking aside. We know you have athletes. We know you have balance. You say you "take what you are given".
You come up here you will be given one thing, a hard time.
That did kind of sound like Chopper didn't!!!
Hell, just cancel the rest of the playoffs now and give the trophy to Reidsville. Apparently they have 37 NFL caliber players on the team that nobody in the country can compete against.
Not all Ram fans are so boastful and arrogant. Much respect for Burns Bulldogs and congratulations on the great season so far, highlighted by huge wins over your biggest rivals like Crest and Shelby. Also an impressive 48-28 win over a 4-A Watauga team that only lost one other game (second round of playoffs).
Realistic Reidsville fans realize the Rams have a huge challenge facing them this Friday night.
That’s fine, we was raised on hard times. We will give them right back.
Lol I don’t think anybody said that. We know we in a fight
We all just might as well save our gas money.
