Imma throat or stomach guy with young ‘uns after they reach 1 year old so I’ll refrain from saying anything. I know from my own experiences that young men are capable of just about anything….good and bad.
My own 2-cents…. I wouldn’t have thrown Gibbs out and wouldn’t have thrown the flag on Harrison either….it all happened right in front of me….and it appeared to me that it was just some mouthy harmless jakes….strutting around in front of some hens….and ole Tom(white hat) let them know who the hens belong to.
This old dog on the porch just watched with one eye open….the whole thing was barely enough to disturb my nap…but not for long….if you know what I mean.
Neal is a stud…Mule…in fact all the defensive players were. Maybe Burns should take that Reidsville secondary out of the game…don’t know how….since I’m not a coach…but limiting their opportunities would have to be a good way to beat them. Maybe line up 3 decoys on Burns side and run flys all night…then the decoys exit to the sidelines and send in fresh ones and do it over and over until their tongues hang out….occasionally slinging one over there deep and out of bounds to make sure they’re still running back there every play. Wind sprints all night for Reidsvilles’ secondary….just exercise and clean uniforms and no picks.
Then run Rose Hill style with the QB

…..48 times in a row to the opposite side….over the edge that is the freshman Harrison….with pulling guards and a lead back and force him to make all the tackles instead of allowing him to do whatever he wants.
I always wondered why teams didn’t do that to Lawrence Taylor… but that’s another subject for another day.
Who knows?….trying to win a low scoring affair with time consuming drives might be the best approach against Reidsville.
I know Burns has a reputation for great defense and coaching and I’d think they can handle Reidsvilles’ offense to a certain extent.
I think Reidsvilles’ defensive side is a solid light year ahead of their offensive side….and yet their offense is still very very good….if that makes any sense.
You know…,.I could be entirely wrong because I haven’t seen Burns play…sooo… they may be able to match up against Reidsville on both sides….they’ve got to be good to be playing this late….and they have beat some great teams.
I guess we’ll see. I hope it’s a barn burner either way. Good luck to both teams.
