Coldest game your team ever played in?
- Thread starter Eastcoastman1957
- Start date
As a coach (yea that's right), The 3rd round Franklin matchup at Franklin was the coldest I've been a part of. 2011 I believe it was.
Thomasville played In Robbinsville back in 1999,a playoff game,and it was bone chilling cold,I laughed my butt off watching my friend try and smoke a cigarette while his hand was shaking violently,driving through those mountains I thought I was looking at the stars,turned out to be houses way up in them there hills
Clinton at Elizabeth City in I think 05’
School closed early that day because of snow. Custodians we’re there early when we arrived breaking up ice on bleachers. Wind was blowing like 30mph. Coldest I’ve been in my life.

WRH@Tarboro a in 2013 was coldest i can remember, also 2017 state championship against Reidsville was cold and snowing. We were there all day as we watched ED and Hibritten play also.
as a player vs Farmville in 2005 3rd round playoff game
As spectator vs Graham in 2014 1st round playoff
can’t remember the temp in either game but I just remember being miserable

I was at that Farmville game. It was cold. Morris foreman ran all over yall that night. Yal were good tho
Ashe County…..2014…..by far the coldest game ever! Temp was 16 on my truck thermometer when I arrived. A constant flag shredding wind of 30 mph throughout the entire game!
Most of the old timers from Maiden say Alleghany ….early ‘70’s…..I was there as well…and it was bitter cold….but not even close to the Ashe county game!
Just a handful of those Old timers…went to Ashe county….regrettably…I was one of ‘em!
I doubt that Morris Foreman passed away in 2005 at the age of 32. Think your thinking of a different Clinton/Farmville game from the 80’s maybe
I played basketball playoffs against both Clinton and Farmville Central, the year was 1991 when Foreman played.
A sand dune ain't a mountain!
Possibly. Tell me when it was. Clinton and Farmville were undefeated entering the game
no 2008 near Georgia,SC,NC triangle. Hell it was so far I don't even remember school name. It was cold 18 at half. Our guys could not even play on that weather.2017 Clinton @ First Flight
I skipped the NE game to go see this game by Jockeys Ridge on the OBX. The wind was blowing so hard and it was freezing cold, Clinton squeaked out a win that night in a closely contested game

Worst I have been to was 2002 state championship at Wake Forest. Low 30s and winds in the 30s.
There was no seating on either end back then, it was just like being in a tunnel with that wind blowing straight through.
I'm much older Reidsville fan than you guys but the coldest Reidsville game (and there have been quite a few) that I personally witnessed was the playoff game that Reidsville played at Elkin in 1969......at game time the temp. clock in downtown Elkin read 21 degrees and the wind howled all nite long off that river......frigid....."The Mule" can testify to this....he was there as well............
Wiz my dad played in that game and he said the guys wore panty hose to try and stay warm. There was no under armour cold gear back then.
That was also the infamous “close line” game. Idk if any of Pisgah old timers can comment but the jist of it is….Pisgah had the game won, they pick off a pass as time expires and runs down our sideline heading for a TD only seeking to add insult to injury when out of nowhere a Clinton player on the bench takes a step onto the field and close lines the guy leading to a fight at end of regulation lol.

1997 Shelby at Bandys Semi-finals was a cold night
But the coldest I have ever been at a game was up at Hibriten in the semis watching them and Tuscola... I dont remember the year because I am old but I remember I have never been that cold in my entire life before or since...

I remember us wearing panty hose for a game in 76. I'm not sure but I don't think we made the playoffs. We went 8-3 which was West Cravens first winning season.
Coldest game as a fan was at Burlington Williams. Wind blowing. Getting blown out by a really good Williams team didn't help either. We had Jesse Campbell and George Koonce.
I was qb for wrh in 76. Clinton had a great team and whupped us pretty good. Didnt make the title game tho.
Played at Owen in 2002. Snowing before kickoff.
South Point @ Hibriten 2016 coldest watched believe it was in the 20s.

Ol I forgot about the 2016 game ..... when I got back in my car it said 17 degrees. That year y’all won a state title every game was really cold that year. Can’t remember what game but it rained ,snowed , and iced all in the same game ... and I won the half and half so it was worth it
I went to the restroom at half… both restrooms had people(men and women) stacked 5 deep in each restroom because they were heated restrooms.
Imagine how humbling it was… to use an urinal with an audience!
Of course… that pales in comparison to my request…of that audience….to help me negotiate the 6 zippers…before I stepped up to the plate!
Go! Braves!
