Mountain Heritage will bring outstanding credentials to Reidsville for the second round game. The Cougars are 11-1, have a six-game winning streak and are averaging almost 47 points per game.
They've posted 50 or more six times and have scored no less than 22 in any game (a 42-22 loss to Hendersonville, which narrowly got by Lexington 38-35 in its playoff opener).
Mountain Heritage has the best dual-threat quarterback the Rams will have seen so far this season in junior Trey Robinson (6-foot, 196 pounds). He has been a starter since his freshman year and was conference player of the year as a sophomore when he totaled 2,266 rushing yards, 1,007 passing yards and 45 combined touchdowns in 14 games.
Robinson has continued the pace this year with 1495 yards rushing, 1091 passing and 36 combined touchdowns. In the first-round win over West Stanly, he carried 23 times for 149 yards and three touchdowns and completed 6 of 9 passes for 108 yards and a touchdown.
Junior Denton, a 5-10, 189-pound senior, has 1324 yards rushing and 12 TDs. He had 100 yards in the West Stanly game and also caught three passes.
Looks like a true test for Reidsville, especially for a game this early in the 2-A bracket.
