Easily one of the top rivalries in the state of NC. It's storied, its heated, it has all of the festivities in the week leading up to the game and then some.
But one thing this one hasn't had is both teams being undefeated going into the match up, late in the season.

Also, Grimsley is currently on their longest winning streak over Page in the rivalries history, sitting at 7-0 since 2019.
Page still holds the longest winning streaks at 12-0 from 2007-2018. 11-0 from 1988-1999, including Page's 23-16 playoff win in 1990. 10-0 from 1978-1987, which was snapped in Grimsley upset 1987 playoff 10-7 win.
The current W/L tally stands at Page 47 wins, Grimsley 16 wins, 3 ties.

Enough about the history though, this is seemingly the best team Page has had in 7 or 8 years, depending on who you ask. But it's common knowledge that Grimsley is currently better and the favorite going into the game. It's funny because the old saying is, "you can throw the records out the window," but you can't here, because both teams being undefeated with a conference title on the line has never happened before.

This is what Greensboro has been waiting for, for so long. Expect Jamieson Stadium to be at max capacity. For sure 10,000+, maybe looking towards 12,000.

Will be great atmosphere of HS football. This might turn out to be pretty good game. Hard not to go with Grimsley in this one. I will be keeping an eye on this one.

Is it true that Pages entire starting lineup is last year's Grimsley's second string?

Seriously, what is the skinny on the portal movement of each team? Anyone know?

Not sure if Paige can beat Lake Norman, Reagan, AL Brown hell even East Forsyth. Paige struggled with the same Ragsdale, East Forsyth blew out. I think Paige has definitely improved but I’m not seeing anything beyond round 2

nah they are way better than East forsyth and AL Brown. East/ grimsley was an absolute fluke rain game. AL brown has played no one good Page will beat them. Grimsley would beat AL brown by 50

If you base it off of RPI page has had a even easier schedule than Brown..

AL Brown opponents 0.43973
Pages opponent 0.42411

First of all. I think Page vs AL Brown would be a great match up.
It's funny how fast this thread went from Page looks good they can compete, to Page is bad.
I think Grimsley is very good. They are the clear-cut favorite to win the 7A title this year.

Page competed with Grimsley for a half, 15-12. Looked like it would be a close one til the end. Discipline and depth hurt Page. Teams like Grimsley and Hough have whole 2nd strings of starter quality players that could start right now for any teams in the state. Looking at Page's depth, its actually much better than it was in years past. 50+ kids on the roster and a bunch of good rotational guys, but its nothing like what the elite portal programs have.

Page put up way more of a fight than West Forsyth did against Grimsley.

It was sad to see a once mighty program in such a state. Left at the half and remembered leaving at the half when score was essentially reversed not so long ago. Dudley tradition and class will shine brightly again and soon.

How about the coaches at Page being inept? Let’s not make excuses. Page has the players, but their staff was completely out coached and out classed in the second half.
