Coming from a Reidsville Ram DIE HARD!!!! I never thought I would be taking up for Shelby!!!!! If it wasn’t for Shelby we would have at least 3 more Rings on top of our Already NC Record Ships!!!!!! Reidsville 05-06 I believe we were 0-3 or 1-3…. Without looking. My senior year! We lost to Morehead and things were bad!!! We took it to the Ship and lost a heartbreaker to Shelby…..My first encounter and start of my pure hatred for the Golden Lions!!!! We were ridiculed for playing in weak conferences especially by Shelby….Something we cannot help!!! Cummings used to be on our level. It was 50-50 in the all time series!!!! Cummings had big time D1 players!!! But they were our only competition! GW out of Danville was a similar series!!! Unfortunately they are in VA. Only a 25 minute drive!!! Our Area (Greensboro) ALWAYS HAS A STATE CONTENDER OR 5!!! 2016 we had Page Dudley Eastern Guilford (coached by 2009 Reidsville State Ship HC Doug Roberson) and us in a title game!!! Us and Dudley won and Eastern and Page lost to Catholic and Weddington I believe!!! We won 58-12 I believe!!! Forgot who Dudley Beat!!!……MY POINT BEING WE GOT OUR FACE BACK AND BEAT SHELBY IN THE SHIP SOON THEREAFTER!!! But they have put the BOOM on us ever since!!!! And I’m super salty!!!!! But all y’all MFs who are talking all this shit about Shelby…..Y’all are going to eat y’all’s words come playoff time!!!’ Now the defense is a Question for me!!! I’m not understanding the AC Reynolds 45 in 3!!! But Shelby took Kings Mountain (3A State Champs I’ll bet my bottom dollar unless Dudley Finds their self!!! Shelby QB is SLINGING IT!!! He is a BALLER!!! I witnessed him eat our Very strong secondary up last year!!! He got Hit so hard in the first half by our Freshman Phenom Cobb and he didn’t know where he was!!! How he came back in that game I’m still not sure!!! We were lucky to be in the game at the half!!! We had a terrible call go against us right before the half that would have gave us at least 3 maybe 6! But it wouldn’t have mattered!!! That man was SOLID! Our QB AL Lee made 1 good pass the entire game to our UNDERRATED SOPHOMORE PHENOM AT THE TIME! Covered very tightly by bridges to believe Queshyne Flippen made a RIDICULOUS GRAB!!!! Having to turn his head and body to reel it in!!! But that’s all she wrote!!!! AL played the worst football I’ve seen in my Reidsville career by our QBs! Pretty much like Justin Jackson in 2014 when we couldn’t move the balll and Shelby topped us in Reidsville for the 2nd year in a row!!! (Ohhh the 40,point whooping they gave us in reidsville the year before as well!!! I know I’m a ranter!!!! But I said all that to let y’all Shelby Haters (I’m not a Hater I hate they have dominated us!!! But they have had the better team by far in 4 of the matchups in the 2000s! The 2 times we were evenly matched we split!!!! Shelby and Reidsville will be the teams to beat in the playoffs!!! I didn’t think we had a shot! Now I see the defense is not what I thought it would be! But let’s not forget they outplayed KM the entire 2nd half!! 5 more minutes Shelby Wins and might’ve beat Crest!!! They lost by 2 I believe to the #1 3A team in the state! And I seen some ridiculous comment saying 2A is not competitive with 3A??? The top10 2A West last year would have beat the 3A top 10 8-2 in my opinion!! Remember My Rams definitely would a beat Eastern Alamance in the regular season if Covid didn’t cancel it! Shelby beat KM! Shelby took 4A South Pointe to the wire putting 37 points on them I believe! They won the SC 4A ship!!! East Surry with Jefferson Boaz his senior year…. They put over 50 on us in Reidsville!!!! Boaz and Gosnell were UNSTOPPABLE!!’ That 1A team…Reidsville…and Shelby could have beat anybody that year!!! Shelby last year could have played with Cardinal Gibbons!!! I watched them both play!!!! Shelby should have beat us by 50!!! But they made a lot of early mistakes to keep us in it!!! Reidsvilles 2009 team??? And I’m sure Shelby fans would agree! I don’t see ANYBODY beating us that year!!! 48-0 after holding the strong Lincoln County team to 7 points I believe!!! 28-7 without looking! 28 was a season low for us I think! I don’t think we allowed a single point in the regular season! Maybe 6 in one game! I could go look. Just off my head it was ridiculous! Our D wasn’t allowing first downs! 3 and outs all game in id say 7 games. The yardage per game was unbelievable! Weak Conference…But the playoffs were not much different! I’m absolutely certain our 2009 team and our 2002-03 or 01-02 team when we won Football and Basketball with Jerome Simpson and Raphael Chesnut and Anthony Crews slinging DIMES!! Hey in my Opinion!!! Reidsville and Cummings were the 2 best teams in NC!!! We beat poor Bandys 2 years in a row by 100. Lol. 68 -6 I believe and another 60 piece!!’ Then went to chapel hill in basketball and back door screened Goldsboro I believe to death!!’ Beat ‘em by 30 I think!….again I’m ranting!!!! We could have been beat. But we could have have beat any 4A team that year!!! Just depends!!! Those 2 years we were big!! We were big as we ever will be! And Jerome Simpson to this day has one of if not the best NFL HIGHLIGHT!!! ESPY Material!!! Cincinnati was too deep at WR!!! He couldn’t get the burn he deserved! And they wouldn’t let him go!!! Then the Greensboro area Curse got him!!!! Man NEVER SOLD NOTHING! Good kid!!! Let people talk him into some bullshit!!! But all y’all Shelby and Reidsville Haters…..KICK ROCKS!!!!! Let’s go Shelby!!!’ Let’s meet up and give everybody a show!!!!! Reidsville Shelby in the West Finals!!!! Shelby 7-3 with the 4 seed and Reidsville 9-1 with the 2 seed! Burns 8-2 with the 3 seed and East Surry 10-0 with the 1 seed.….Shelby over East Surry 45-21…Reidsville over Burns 36-24.And Finally Reidsville 35-34 over Shelby!!!! We go for 2 to seal it with 7 seconds left after a 8 yard Run by Jeremiah Redd to put us at 33 and a back shoulder to our 6’6 (maybe 6’9 by then lol) for the win!! I’m JK IF WE DONT KICK THAT XP IM GONNA HAVE A HEART ATTACK!!!! But Shelby 7-3 is a done deal!!! Monroe is Going down to Sun Valley Friday!! I’m calling it now! Monroe’s 4 wins have a combined 1 win amongst them! Sun Valley Played AL Brown and Cox Mill to the wire!! And lost early to a 4-0 Olympic team!!! All 3 losses in top 60 I believe!!! Brown has allowed 38 points and SV put 31 on em! Give me Sun Valley. Our Conference has four 3-1 teams North Forsyth. HP Andrews. Walkertown. Mcmichael might be 3-1 as well. West Stokes is 2-1 unless it’s a late game result! Morehead rounding out the bottom at 2-2. Eastern Alamance caught the Blue Death from our Backup (Should be starting in my opinion but I can’t argue with the GOAT Jimmy Teague!!! ) but down 28-21 Landon Denny Tossed a Dime for 6 and moved the chains to open up the Game winning run and threw the 2pt Conversion to go up 7!!! We tried everything we could to give them the game!!!! They didn’t want it!!! We need to run a 2 QB system! Al Lee is suspect when things get tight!!!! Landon is cool under pressure and can put it on a rope!!’ He’s not fast but We don’t run our QB anyway!!! He should have been put in against page!!! We had no business losing to them!!!’ 14-3 at the half and then we throw 20 screens! Abandoned the run and abandoned QUESHYNE FLIPPEN (24 TDS as a Sophmore Wideout) Reidsville Ram Season Record!!! Set in 1999!!! Page QB can’t hit water if he threw out of a boat! But that O Line is HUGE!!! Defense was on the field all 2nd half and only allowed 6 in the 3rd on 4th and goal from the 1 (runner was down a half yard short) but hey!! 14-9 we blocked a punt and had it on their 19!!’ 4 and out!!! 3rd down wide open touchdown threw way too late and Page DB caught up and broke it up! 4th down was a throw way outside the end zone that was open. Was caught but no way to get a foot down!!! But I think it was a blessing in disguise for us!!!! 4A team just years removed from state championship contenders 5 in a row thought they beat Alabama!!!’ Last team to beat Reidsville Scoring 22 points was Shelby in 06 I believe!!! We were SHUTOUT the 2nd half!!! And Page didn’t throw a pass !!!! To beat idiots gonna take a hell of a ground game and you better not hold!!! 3rd and long we got the legion of Blueeeeem back there!!’ We picking passes off if they ain’t dimes!!! 5 picks against the team considered to be next to Kings Mountain!!!! Burns got Pumped by KM!!!! Watauaga ain’t that good!!! Shelby will wax Burns!!! Rant over!!’
