Eat CROW reidsville!!!!!
- Thread starter 4th&Goal
- Start date
Looks like we're in some bonus time around here. Let me take look at what these lemmings are fussing about...
I saw on here someone said WA was gonna be off. If true hope they replace them with someone good from Guilford or Forsyth county. Probably end up with NE Guilford or WS Prep
Page is 4a and only lost to grimsley by 5 points. That’s not a easy game.
What was their record again? Werent they 4-7? Did MaxPreps give a wrong score? All teams around here anyway play schools much larger than they are and do fairly well. All I did was point out facts based on statistics available for anybody to see. This is not to say Reidsville could not line up and beat the Carolina Panthers (especially now) if that salves your soul. I AM saying their route to the late rounds of the playoffs (especially when they are placed where they SHOULD be...In the East unlike this year) is about as easy as it gets. Partly by geographical reasons, and partly by design/scheduling. You can huff and puff all you want but those are facts, not opinion.
I beg your pardon Mule?!?! You said their route to their late rounds of the playoffs are about as easy as it gets if they were in the East. May I remind you that first round of the playoffs might be easy West or East but we had James Kenan in the 2nd and Clinton in the third. West games were no harder or more competitive than those. You might want to back up and re-punt.
"James Kenan in the 2nd and Clinton in the third. West games were no harder or more competitive than those" OMG! The SEC shudders!!! I didnt intend for this thread to become a hate on Reidsville thread. I just pointed out verifiable facts, and reasonable conclusions based on those facts.
Not hating on anyone but you implied that the West was tough and the East was a pushover. Not the case friend. I've said it before, Clinton and Wallace Rose Hill would have beaten reidsville and that is the real fact
That is not a fact. Rams could have won the state championship. I think east Duplin was a bad matchup
"Not hating on anyone but you implied that the West was tough and the East was a pushover." I dont recall using the word pushover. I DID say, and will say again, that the east is just not as strong, top to bottom, as the West most years, especially in 1a and 2a level. Lest we forget, one or two teams does not an entire region make.
Ha Ha Ha, bad matchup, why do you say that, because you lost
No I actually think that’s a compliment to you guys, but whatever. It’s cause y’all had the run game and coaching game plan to give us trouble. Like I said y’all had the same recipe as page. We struggled against physical run oriented teams. We also never see your offense during the regular season.
There were a few Reidsville posters that expressed concern over East Duplin’s offense.
It's like Reidsville set up their defense to stop the whole western bracket, and didn't worry about the title game
I think thats the usual in the east as well. East has to be able to stop the run or miss the championship. I think, as a whole, the west generally has had better success slowing the run than the east has slowing the passing game . As stated before, ball / clock control is a must.

This is mostly true. I liked your idea. We need to think about scheduling one of those 4a run first Raleigh schools.
And, risk that early L? That’s not going to happen. We all need to see that Rams vs Dudley, though. They should be y’all’s Crest in a rivalry sense. Both are willing to play Page, though. Make it make sense. Good thing Page is on the rise, though, instead of being an easy dub for the both of you, as apparently and previously thought of.

Bro the rams basketball schedule is the one that needs beefing up lol. I never thought of page as a easy win, especially when they hired coach rob. He’s turned every program around and he also knows us well. I hear western alamance is off the schedule, if so they better play someone of note. But absolutely should be playing Dudley, in both sports
Both programs need to stop playing, and make that game happen. It would command a lot of attention. Page is definitely a great game to have scheduled. On another note, let’s get ready for Tank vs Hector Garcia in a couple of weeks. Tank can’t take him lightly.
Yep I actually wanted to go see that one live. I’ll definitely be tuned in. Hopefully boxing has a better 2023.
It had better be true. If they didnt gear for the western teams they would face they wouldnt make it to the title game to begin with. But they did not adjust to the run only eastern teams,,, (no matter who it is/was its run only in the east.) Seems to me when you KNOW run is the only game you will see, and you KNOW if they do pass they cant throw it or catch it, and you ALSO know they cant defend the pass worth a nickel, you could fit a couple more in the box than Reidsville did in that game to slow the run down a bit. And give them a few more looks at short and medium range passes rather than throw it a mile and hope for the best?
I don’t know why we had 2 corners on the field. Both are good players but in that game I don’t think it was a need.
Early in the year East Duplin posters indicated they were more diverse than usual. The stats seem to prove it as their QB completed about 60% of his passes with 17 TD’s and 5 interceptions. I think he passed for around 1200 yards. Not bad, especially for an eastern team. I think, had the game dictated it, they could have been successful throwing the ball if they threw 5-8 times. That big TE would have been a problem even with the very talented Reidsville DBs. The key would have been to be unpredictable.
What y’all mentioned above plays right unto ED being successful passing had you loaded the box and took out your DBs. Clinton, WRH and James Kenan are well versed in the wing T and they load the box. ED is used to teams loading the box and they are still able to run on them.
Don’t get me wrong, I had Reidsville winning and knew ED’s route to success was limited. I feel for the Reidsville players and fans but I am elated for the Beulaville community. Certainly Reidsville can afford to let one slip away.
I do hate the season is over. Looked forward to reading this forum.

ED had an incredible year and everyone in the East knew that if ED would ever win it all, this was the year. But ...............no one gave ED a chance but they did it. Reidsville has a very good chance of getting back to state as their team is loaded with young talent.
I would take my chances, that’s just me though
Well that chance will have to come in the future as this Season belonged to the ED Panthers!!
Nah we won't be there next year but Reidsville has a good chance of returning.
We'll be Ok but losing 12-15 Seniors, we won't be making a state title run. Reidsville is loaded though.
Congrats to ED on their title. The Black Knights loved your stadium when we came down a few years ago. Honestly that year I felt there was very little separation between the final four with Shelby Hibriten ND and ED all very close to each other. Love it for you guys, you deserve it. Good luck in the future Panthers.
I was one of those ... one overlooked factor was that Reidsville's pass defense was a big weapon (state record 34 picks), often setting up the offense or even scoring (8 pick 6s) ... not throwing was a great strategy for East Duplin as it canceled one of Reidsville's biggest plus marks. East only threw 3 passes in the game and two of them were huge - obviously the TD but also the pass interference that kept the crucial scoring drive alive.
