Final 41-24 ... Dionte Neal added a 98-yard kickoff return in the second half to his highlight reel from the first half.
Smith went over 200 yards rushing ... I'll post some official stats later.
One in a generation type player.. Congrats to the Rams

Izeiah Oates of Eastern Wayne is a great player ... Reidsville's pass rush had him on the run all night but they couldn't seem to catch him. But they did force him to throw on the run and into traffic ... resulting in two intentional grounding calls and three interceptions.

Reidsville' s passing attack was off tonight but they did come up with some key completions. The running of Smith along with the heroics of Neal keyed the win. Also, the OL created some good running lanes.

Michael Smith was impressive too. After what happened last year with Cobb I think they saved him for the playoffs.

Yeah he deserves game ball number 2. I mean that was a Cobb like performance. Ladon Hatfield is really coming along as well

Are they dependant on Mr Diante to win? Meaning, if he has to be out, are they screwed? Or are they deep, as usual?

Dionte had an off game for his standards vs red springs. Didn’t really need him though. Kendre can have huge nights as well. As he did vs red springs

Michael Smith our running back went over 200 yards last night. Plus Kendre a 5 star tight end. Its not all Dionte, but he can beat you by himself. Can't believe they actually kicked to him last night. When he catches it someone in our group always says td. Because it usually is.

Let’s just say when he was not at full strength against a great Reagan team the Rams were shut out. And his backup in the secondary got burned a few times.

Better put a B-O-L-O in Reidsville for Tonya Harding!!!!!
Lol. Nahhh. Not wishing injury on the kid. I know you're just joking though. But I've seen first hand extracurricular activity happening at the bottom of the pile. Extra little ankle twisting and things like that.

Tyson Is not better than Braxton….Georgia Tech might have a Free Safety they see in him but his job has been taken by a RB at Southern. Due to very low completion percentage and turnovers! 8-20 69 YDs 1TD 1 INT 2 Fumbles…..Regardless who takes their QB1 out after a 44 yard strike to D? And leaves him on the bench? Pure disrespect! Braxton went 12-18 3 Tds 1 int (heave into the Endzone) against a solid NG defense his first start on the big stage! Brax is way more composed. And he was here first! He damn sure aint been beat out!! Only Dionte can do that! Dionte Scored 31 by hisself!!! Put it on his back!!! If theres a need to take Brax out then 1 should be back there from now on!!! No time for experiments! Plus it was a HUGE SLAP to his parents and him!!! Central Davidson is in trouble!!
