Reidsville, No. 1 seed in East 4A (9-2), vs. Eastern Wayne No. 9 seed in East 4A (8-3)

Both teams posted huge shutout win in the second round to set up this first-ever meeting between the schools located 150 miles and 2.5 hours apart.

Reidsville had bye in the first round while Eastern Wayne got by Anson 21-14.

Eastern Wayne has a standout in Izeiah Oates, a 6-foot, 205-pound senior. He's passed for close to 2000 yards and run for just under 1000 yards. And he's the son of head coach Leander Oates.

Coach Erik Teague said he was going to look at the video and try to identify why there were so many flags in the Red Springs game. Quote from News & Record article: "We'll watch film and see exactly what the referees were seeing."

Eastern Wayne averaging 34.9 points per game ... Reidsville, pitching shutouts in four of last five games, allowing 13.9 per game. The average allowed in the last six games is 3.3 ... obviously the competition hasn't been as strong.

Rams' losses were to Northern Guilford and Reagan in the early going and both of those teams are rolling in the playoffs. Northern is 10-1 and rolling in 6-A while Reagan is 9-2 while advancing in 7-A.

In the Virginia playoff, Danville George Washington won its opener 44-7 over Blacksburg last week to move to 10-1 on the season - the only loss coming to Reidsville, 42-14 back on Aug. 29.

Also I think walkertown was a quality win

I hope we aren’t rotating qbs as much this game. I like Brax and broadway and both need reps I’m sure, but don’t like rotating every 2 series or so

Yall better be glad there isn't a Western Wayne or a Northeastern Wayne, or Southwest Wayne. Our pal TGT would bust a gasket, as much as he loves the compass schools ha ha

Reidsville rolls by at least 24
Out of the 6 high schools in Wayne County, thankfully only two are compass point schools: Southern Wayne, located in Dudley, NC, and Eastern Wayne, located in Goldsboro, only 6.5 miles from Goldsboro High.
The others are Goldsboro High, Rosewood in Goldsboro, Spring Creek in Seven Springs and Charles B. Aycock in Pikeville.

Only one will be back next year. Both want to play and are good enough to be stars for a lot of teams
Yeah, I'd only expect one back. Agree Mule, both are good. Broadway probably better right now due to age and experience and I could see why Broadway has a few offers.

Correction, CB Aycock is not in Goldsboro, it happens to be in Pikeville.

If the Good Lord is with us tomorrow night and the rain holds off my bride of nearly 60 years and I will be at the Reidsville vs Eastern Wayne game . It will be the first game I will attend in more than two long, long years. It’s been a tough stretch.
Good to hear that she is able to go. Rambbq told me several years back what you were going through.

Warriors got off to a 10-0 lead thanks to a 97-yard pass play but Dionte Neal and the Rams battled back.
Neal as been sensational - Punt Return TD, 65 yards; running out of shotgun for 65 yards; receiving TD for 44 yards; and another rushing TD for approximately 10 yards .... he has also completed a key first down pass for 26 yards.
