Most impressive win of the playoff this year.
I would give that to South Point over Dudley. They put up the same amount of points against a team that I would consider "better" than them. And they did it running the same few plays over and over lol.

Most of us expected New Bern to beat Rolesville. This is a very impressive win though.

Dudleys schedule was weak to put it mildly. Rolesville had wins over Millbrook and WF.

That has nothing to do with the caliber of players Dudley has on their roster. South Point just played a close game to a team Dudley beat with a running clock a few weeks ago. I see New Bern beating Millbrook by a couple tds as well if that matters.

To me it has a lot to do with it. That was an impressive win as well.

Just watched the first half. New Bern rushing attack is amazing. Granted this is against Rolesville defense, but I believe against most defenses they're going to cause problems for people.

New Bern had 625 rushing yards on 48 carries averaging 13 a pop. Three different rushers had over 129 yards. The Rams blocked our entrance where the Bears come onto the field and both players and coaches were yapping. That was the only blocking they did the entire night.
This Rolesville defense has not been a shut down defense all year but they have made plays and gotten timely stops. Last night they were completely manhandled all night. NB defense got enough stops early to allow the offense to jump out to a huge lead. The Bears defense played well too.

New Bern has been doing this all year. They haven't really been tested.

I mean, that Maury team they played this year from VA seems really good and New Hanover beat Butler. New Bern beat New Hanover by 40.
Yes, the Maury game was a dogfight, similar to last year. They've got half a dozen D1 guys and compete for the 5A title every year.

Yea. Played one of the top out of state teams and won. The only way I see to beat New Bern is to slow their running game and force them to punt 4-5 times. Then you have to score on most of your possessions either by running or the air. But as each week has gone by New Bern has shown why its much easier to sit here and talk about than do. I don't see anyone beating them.

Jordan showed how to beat them as they were 4 yards away from doing so but that is much harder to do than just game plan for it. Jordan held the ball for all but 9 mins of the game but their defense was awful.

Had a big piece missing on the DL for NB that game. Rolesville tried to do the same in the running game but it didn’t work. We won’t see a running back as good as the Jordan one again this season.
