East Surry vs Reidsville

[SlickRich28120]

East Surry is bringing the best team in their school history to reidsville Friday night . They are not your average 1a team this season with 2 kids going to acc schools next year a defensive end that Clemson and Alabama want along with a sophomore defensive end that will land at a high d1 school. BUT REIDSVILLE is REIDSVILLE and the state championships, the tradition , speed and athleticism at every position is self explanatory. I know us folks in Surry county have been looking to this game since it was announced last year. This East Surry is loaded . I see a good one on Friday , I’d love for our conference brethren to pull a upset but I see a score like 35 -21 rams. Could be a little closer, what’s everybody else think about this one. Both schools will ultimately be the winner as East Surry travels very well , I expect to see the whole town of pilot mtn in reidsville Friday night, the gate will be HUGE!!

This game will be a blowout, seriously. The game won’t live up to the hype, in my opinion. I get it! You guys are feeling yourselves from blowing out all 1A opposition not named Tarboro , but East Surry will find that challenging a bigger, powerhouse classification is a bigger bite than they can chew. Ask WRH, cool posters, dope, much respect for WRH, and I mean no ill intent by this, but their days of back to back championships are over. And, to you Reidsville guys, I know you guys are just happy and intrigued to what is perceived to be a challenge, but would you guys even favor them over Eastern Guilford? No! Reidsville by 36.

 

[Lion Attack]

1A is top heavy as hell with Tarboro being the “Don dada”. It’s some dogs in 2A, much more parity, even Tarboro would get humbled in 2A. Would they be competitive? Absolutely! This juggernaut they are known to be now? No!

Its a lot of unknowns to me. Before the season I thought Eastern Guilford would be our top game.

I wouldn’t even favor them over Morehead. Their star quarterback doubles as a linebacker. That was odd for me to see. You see two way players in 2A a lot, but rarely that all important position, quarterback. He will be winded by halftime.

 

[Kingbluedevil]

I don't think the quarterback for East plays much on defense. He is the punter

 

[rams10]

I wouldn’t even favor them over Morehead, size and depth matters. Their star quarterback doubles as a linebacker. That was odd for me to see. You see two way players in 2A a lot, but rarely that all important position, quarterback. He will be winded by halftime.

I think they would beat Morehead. I’m not sure if boaz plays both ways this year. I would expect to see him and gosnell on defense for this game. Schedule is key. Reidsville doesn’t have the toughest schedule but we see better teams than them historically year in and year out. Rams should go in expecting the toughest game in the regular season, with the unknowns they bring.

Lion Attack seems to feel the same way as my son. 1A is Tarboro then everybody else, and this game will not be close.

I just hope we score.

Hey Lion attack, will you be at the east gaston shelby game friday?

Yep, unfortunately, and it has Tarboro posters on that other site feeling like they can beat anyone regardless of classification, easily win state championships from 1A-3AA, when they wouldn’t have to look any further than 2A for some competition. It’s some teams in 2A that would bring that smoke to them. I’m not a member of the other site, but go there occasionally, and literally read them posting that they could beat anyone from 1A to 4A, and the person running the site was even gassing them up as if they really could.

 

[Lion Attack]

Hey Lion attack, will you be at the east gaston shelby game friday?

Nah, I work a 12hr shift, and this is my weekend to work. Otherwise, I possibly would have come just to link up with you briefly. I typically don’t even attend these type of games. If you do indeed go, you will be out of there by halftime.

Tarboro should be 2a. I think Tarboro and East Surry would both be in the top 10 in 2a as of right now. But as you said they would find things different in 2a. Tarboro more so than East Surry would likely be a top 5 or 6 team. East would be in the 8-10 range.

 

[28-20]

Welcome to rams schedule life lol. I stay to just make fun of our rams for not winning by 70 lol I too work 12 hr night shift schedule. But il be in rock hill this week and always look for a game to go to. Last year was charlotte catholic vs high point Christian. I normally dont get to watch shelby so figured why not.

 

[Wolf4Lyfe]

Rams win this one by a couple of scores. No disrespect toward the folks in Pilot Mountain, but you are not going to be able to throw the ball around on a team as deep as the Rams. I believe it will be a close first half and then depth and experience will take over.

 

[Old Mountaineer]

1A is top heavy as hell with Tarboro being the “Don dada”. It’s some dogs in 2A, much more parity, even Tarboro would get humbled in 2A. Would they be competitive? Absolutely! This juggernaut they are known to be now? No!

Personally I think there's a bigger leap from 2A to 2AA then 1AA to 2A, take last year ,who would have fair better? Tarboro in 2A or Reidsville in 2AA playoffs? Reidsville may blow out East Surry but I don't see that it's big stretch of the imagination that ES keeps it close possibly a 7- 14 point game instead of a 36 or running the clock game. Looking at last year a 1AA school could compete with a 2A school, maybe Reidsville is the type of team that plays ball control football like Mtn Heritage and it's why thier last three playoff games were so close last year. But they beat Mtn Heritage by 7 and MH only beat small 1A Mitchell who didn't make it to the 1A West regional by 8. But maybe Reidsville is even better this year and will blow out everyone, I don't know, but far as risk vs reward in this game it's in ES favor as far as the playoffs with the NCHSAA emphasis on the Maxprep strength of schedule, 1AA ES playing a 2A champion will only help in their seeding especially if they keep it close, but let's say if by some miracle there's a big upset and they win, well then I would assume that Mitchell and Polk won't have any bigger supporters when they play Mtn Heritage then Reidsville.

 

[Shotgun-Spread]

Dude you are crazy that Reidsville team last year will be the worst team we will have for a while and still won the whole thing. This year is no question Reidsville is the best team in all of 2A right now and will once again finish 16-0. Tarboro would have no chance vs Reidsville no disrespect.

 

[shelbyfootball]

I would like to know what these Reidsville post are smoking. This game won't be even close. Shelby has a tough game Friday night lol. Who does that sound like.

You did read the part where I said that Reidsville may be even better this year then last year and may blow everyone out? That I have no way of knowing. What I was saying that I years pass there has been 1AA schools that could compete with 2A. And that a larger conference school takes more of risk in the way playoff seeding is set up to play a smaller school then it is for the smaller school. I'm sure why that's crazy

 

[TGT2]

Any team with three or four D1 prospects can't be taken lightly. I expect East Surry will give the Rams quite a battle.

Having D1 prospects dont mean they’re good, we all know that D1 sometimes gives offers off the eye test and potential.

 

[TarVikes]

How did Tarboro end up in this discussion lol

 

[TarVikes]

My thoughts on this:

East had these same “D1 players” on their roster last year and Tarboro beat them 50-10. And held them to only 3 offensive points. It’s not like these players just magically appeared on campus. The only thing different is they are a year older this year.

If Reidsville is as good as everyone says, I think this game will be a blowout.

A year older works wonders though.
Reidsville had a young team last year, you could see the maturity from players.

Another key to this game we gotta make boaz uncomfortable.

You do realize that Reidsville won 2AA state titles in 2002, 2003, 2007, 2008, 2009 don't you?? powers in 2A and 2AA are right together.........

 

[Shelby Lion]

Our Reidsville pals are sand bagging big time ! You all know Reidsville will boot stomp that (Compass School) (that was for you TGT ha ha) back to Pilot Mountain

Reidsville by at least 30 !!!

just don’t let Seadog type y’all are unbeatable he’s already ruined a couple teams seasons with that evil voodoo ha ha ha

good luck but you ain’t gonna need it

 

[TGT2]

Thanks for remembering Shelby Lion ... wonder why that school is East (compass point) Surry instead of good ol' Pilot Mountain or even Mount Pilot (Andy G).
I'd like to know the reason for that (and why is Eastern Guilford not Gibsonville).

 

[BlackKnightNut]

Eastern Guilford was Gibsonville back in the day.

Yeah I know 2009 was 10 years ago and Tarboro won the 2A. But mainly what I was referring to was 2017 & 18 just looking at scores and who beat who that maybe Tarboro would have competed better in the 2A then Reidsville in the 2AA playoffs those two years, I can't prove it anymore then you can prove otherwise it's just a opinion like rear ends everyone has one, like in 2015 when Wallace-Rose won the 1AA I thought they could have competed in the 2A then next two years won the 2A. All I'm saying is it not out of this world crazy to say some 1A schools can compete with some 2A schools wether or not this will be the cast we'll see, but teams change from year to year maybe Reidsville is even better this year then last maybe ES is too ,I honestly don't know, it's just some making out like a good 1A would never stand a snow balls chance ever with a good 2A.

I think Tarboro and Reidsville was about even last year. Remember that was a good Northeastern team Reidsville beat in the finals. Reidsville was very young last year, many thought it was going to be a rebuilding year last year.
Also remember what happened when Reidsville met Edenton Holmes in state championship in 2016 who is the number 3 ranked 1a team.

 

[It's Frank]

Tarboro T Formation would give any team troubles, no matter the classification. Gotta defend the Dive, Power, Counter, and bootleg every play

 

[ramking2012]

Reidsville led by D1 prospect Breon Pass and the rest of those wr will be too much for east surry, choose your poison game for them

I remember all too well what happened to Edenton Holmes in the 2016 2A Championship. The Aces got man handled by the Rams. I said at the time, and still say, that team was the most impressive high school team I have seen in person. However a point that needs to be made is that 2016 was the last year before realignment and up until the championship game Edenton Holmes, with 1A numbers, not only competed in 2A but prevailed rather handily in its run up to the championship game with Reidsville.

I didn't think you guys were a bad team. The triple option was tough to defend, until we adjusted to it.

 

[AcesWild2323]

I didn't think you guys were a bad team. The triple option was tough to defend, until we adjusted to it.

And that’s the key. In the run up to the title game none of the other teams adjusted but after the first quarter Teague adjusted and good coaching plus the Jimmy’s and the Joe’s y’all had doomed us. We all left impressed.

 

[RammanuelKant]

If East Surry wins, it will be up there with Hickory High in Hoosiers.

 

[WHChoops]

How did Tarboro end up in this discussion lol

Lol, cause tarboro could compete with these 2a “powerhouses”!
