Unusual game in that Reidsville O probably ran less than 20 plays....Several long distance plays for the offense............Defense ran 2 int. back for TD.'s.....Rams are open next week before traveling to Bartlett-Yancey on the 27th.................
Reidsville (9-0) 65 Burlington Cummings 10
- Thread starter rambbq
- Start date
Cummings school district demographics have changed a lot. This has been discussed on previous threads but now lots of hispanic students with football not a priority.
Strangest thing about the game was the officials decided to disregard the 25 second delay of game so sometimes nearly a minute passed before a play was run. Not to mention that nearly a minute ran off the clock before the ball was kicked off to start the second half.
Rams offense had one possession the entire second half.
I can understand the desire to get this game over as quickly as possible, but when officials and coaches start changing the rules of the game during a game it really distorts everything.

Kickoffs don't count in the count. I guess that was why it wasn't 48. Plus they ran the clock when nobody had the ball.
they ran at least 3 minutes off the clock one time between us scoring and the following KO....wanting to end a game is one thing but that's just stupid and gives back-ups very little chance to play in a blow-out................. And TGT...your stats just prove the fact that they are really meaningless...especially when Reidsville won 65-10....going by stats an observer would've thought it was a close game.................................
second half clock started as teams were just beginning to line up. understand running clock point, but this was ridiculous. backups on offense got no snaps. horrible use of clock rules. deprived kids that work hard every day of a chance to play.
