I think you run the risk of injuries in a game like East Forsyth. They are gonna play a lot of players and the depth makes a difference. A scrimmage is not so bad because You want be playing your ones for very long

Reidsville and EF have played JV the past two years. They had no depth last year and got beat, but the year before they won.
I agree. Its down falls, but there is also some pluses as well to playing a game like this.
Reidsville has a pretty good schedule this year. But I would have loved to add a Dudley, Page or something like that.
As for the scrimmage, I'm not sure Ef takes it serious or not, they have Mallard Creek on Friday.
I thought Thomasville held their own despite a few key players not dressed for various reasons (not disciplinary) reidsville scored 3 times and put Tville’s secondary to the test which also hauled in 2 int. Thomasvilles defense also forced 1 fumble. With that said their may have been other reidsville players not dressed as well. But it was a jamboree where I’m sure coaches are trying different kids out. As far as tvilles offense - scored once but didn’t come easy. Did some really good things but had trouble at first getting to the line. Thomasville out scored Rockingham 2-1. I know that doesn’t mean anything in jamborees but i was happy with how Tville held up. West Stanley was tough as well
Rams held their own in the game portion of the scrimmage. It was 3-2 rams when I left but heard it was 3-3 ending up. But East blasted the rams in the first portion where they were just running plays.
Key take away: Line doesn't have much depth, but getting 63 will help that. East Forsyth will be the best team we see all year. Very good East Forsyth team
This team is loaded with skill guys: Demontez Canada made a impact, seems like he has to start at least one side of the ball.
Running game needs some work, we have some good backs though.
Strange and Hooper will be missed: Hopefully they both can come back at some point.

Accurate summary.
The last EF TD was scored on a pick 6 with both teams second team JVs in the game. About a minute or two left in the scrimmage.
After the pick 6 EF made a dirty block in the back on the Rams QB in the end zone long after the play ended and ref though his flag about 20 feet in the air. Could have gotten ugly but teams kept their cool.
EF is basically a one man team on offense. The QB it the whole offense. He is a good passer and a great runner. Rams just could not tackle him on his scrambles. EF will be tough team to beat again this year.
Rams QB Pinnix did not have a good scrimmage but the backup QB Galloway looked really good.
Yeah, I thought Galloway looked good. So we are in good shape at Qb. I expect Pinnix to look better the next scrimmage and next Friday.
They have a really good running back as well, I think he's going to Wake Forest, he made a lot of good plays.
In a real game I think it would be close, of course I'd favor East Forsyth.

East Forsyth has a receiver that is being recruited also. I think he scored in the championship last year
I just love how hard our boys competed but they most definitely needed some work on defense the absence of strange hurt that but I like how hooper and strange we’re there supporting there teammates on bad wheels. That’s ram football at its finest!
EF best 10th grade players don't play JV. People playing EF JV are never getting a true look at the future varsity much less the best competitive EF JV because they treat JV as a feeder to varsity.
Hard to be a one man team with a RB (Marshsall) committed to Wake Forest. Like a poster said earlier we kept it "vanilla" as I'm sure you all did too.
The atmosphere at Reidsville for a game or scrimmage is what it's about in high school football.
Your assessment of our O couldn't be further from the truth. Our O is probably better than last years but I do agree like any team it starts and ends with the QB.
Your skills are as good as ours. Where the game would get ugly is line depth on both sides.
It would be close early but then I believe attrition would set in by the 3rd and 4th quarters.
Nothing but respect for Reidsville but numbers matter especially early in the season when we would probably play you all in nonconference.
Our line depth is usually better than this. We usually have some depth on the line. But that would worry me the most vs you guys.
Why wouldn’t I? Nobody is scared, even if we lost. Plus I bet we are better than your week one opponent.
I was referring to the scrimmage last night. RB got very few touches. QB basically dropped back to pass and then scrambled for yards.
Very familiar with Micah Crowell as virtually every college football recruiter knows.
That's the case with most schools I believe. EF JV still had Rams outnumbers 3 to 1 easily, so to win 2 years ago and hold their own last year and in scrimmage is a plus.
As far as varsity, I like how the "lack of depth" looked against EF starters. Might be better than some give credit. Tackling needs work.
Too much of a class and competitive program to be scared. We never thought you would be. Not sure how much better you are than AC Reynolds.
They're usually a tough out and if they get you all like I said before it'll be because of attrition not talent.
We tried to schedule a game with some other big named schools talked about on the 4A forum but schedules didn't line up. AC Reynolds will give us all we want. They're a quality program as well.
We knew we'd get a GREAT look from Reidsville. That's why we came. Class program and dudes who play to the whistle. I believe we scored all of our TD's and you got that 1 (turnover) during "game situation" if I'm not mistaken.
To your JV comment trust and believe had our 10th graders who contributed on varsity that year played I doubt the outcome is the same. Not trying to take anything away from The Ville at all. Yes we lost but it's about 13 kids you all probably didn't see who played on Friday night.
I'm just saying keep it in perspective.
I think we will get better from the scrimmage. The final was 3-3 in the scrimmage. But it was just a practice teams just working on stuff, some players being out so you can't take anything from it. Your running back reminds me of Javon Leake from Page a few years back.
As for Ac reynolds I do feel like Reidsville is better. But you're right they are a good team. I would think Ef would win by 17 ish.
Man, I’m baffled on how much a couple of the Reidsville guys sleep on ACR. I think the reason is them having played mountain teams, Owen and Heritage, and assume the the Rockets are of that same ilk, when that’s the furthest from the truth. ACR has athletes, year in and year out, and just telling it like it is, Blacks on their team.
One of them will argue that they lost to a weak triad team, getting amnesia that they, themselves, almost lost to a weak Morehead team. You have games like that. ACR has played in a state championship recently, and have consistently made deep playoff runs, and you’re right, they are going to be a handful for you guys, a tough out for anyone, especially sub 4A.

lol...Lion Attack...you're right....nobody really knows how anyone stacks up against someone else.....just speculation...can't compare scores...if you do that...you can find a 1-10 team that with about eight degrees of separation could beat a 10-1 team
I never said they wouldn't be tough. I think it would have been about even with them last year, maybe edge to them. I think we beat them this year. Last years team was young and I didn't even think they would win states.
IMO, Brevard is the best mountain team the Rams have played in the past several years. Mountain Heritage was good, Owen not so much.
And yes, ACR will give E Forsyth all they can handle. ACR probably the best of the mountain programs right now. Should be a great matchup.
Yeah the comment that the EF team is only their QB is just plain ignorant. After talking with the East coach it was obvious they were working their passing game a majority of that scrimmage. In a game against Reidsville I could almost bet #1 Marshall would run the ball 25-30 times.
As for ACR EF that will be a very good week 1 game. I still think EF is a couple scores better but its week 1 and crazy things happen early in the season.

They looked ok. I think it was 2-1 reidsville. I think it’s more a matter of the rams getting the right lineups out there. Northeast looks improved. Could be a surprise in the triad.
Still the most concerning thing is line depth.
Last 2 seasons Mountain Heritage beat Bevard 30 to 7 and 28 to 14 last year with both Bevard scores coming off a blocked punt and fumble return .they could not move the ball at all against Heritage.I've got the up most respect for Reidsville and there fans. there program is a class act .I belive that battle Reidsville and Heritage had last year took a lot out of Readsville that's the only reason I could think of for Reidsville almost losing to Brevard. that game shocked me .when I seen the score .now AC Reynolds is no ordinary mountain team and as much respect that I have for Reidsville AC Reynolds beats Reidsville last 2 year's by at least 14 points they are a much bigger school and they have depth and a balanced offence and there defence is always tough they are a morrow image of Reidsville with more depth and have won at least 2 4a state champions and the Last one was not too long ago.if they played this year Reidsville should win .AC Reynolds will be down this season compared to most years ,and I also feel that if Reidsville have had to come to Mountain Heritage the last 2 season's those 2 games might have had a difference outcome we lost by 7 both games last 2 year's and Mountain Heritage if you have never been here is a very hard place to win a game.I'm not taking anything away for Readisville ,but to me they were down alittle last 2 seasons compared to most years and they still win it all last year and could have also won in 2017 . now most years Readsville is just way better than anybody in the 2a West .Readisvilles coach is one of the very best and I'm a big fan of Readsville but for Readsville to almost lose to Brevard just shocked me .what Brevard accomplished last season was just amazing to go on the road 4 strait weeks and almost win the West .Brevard had to have a very low seed in the playoffs to not even get one game at home..Last year was the first year in many years that Brevard was competive ,but back in the 60s to early 90s Bervard had some great teams and was one of the better progrsms in the state ..Heritage opens up with Brevard this Friday night..I think Heritage wins by 14 our defence should be one of our best ever and as of now we have 43 players dressed for varsity that's huge for us especially if it helps enough where our best players dont have to play on both sides of the ball .but I'm concerned about our backfield. but I felt the same way last year and some one stepped up..I belive we will see a rematch of Reidsville and Northeastern in the state championship game and as it was last year it will be a awesome game with Reidsville pulling it out at the end.WRH is the only other team that I can think of that could throw a wrench in my prediction because we all know when they are good there tough to beat..this post is just my opinion, but I have seen all the Western teams I've talked about play multiple games over the last 3 season's but ever one sees the game differently..
I disagree with the mule saying brevard was the best mountain team we’ve seen. Also disagree with acr winning by 14
Reidsville wasn’t even expected to make it last year. People forget they we’re starting around 8 sophomores last years. Except for the QB 7 out of the 8 played both side of the ball Or was in the rotation. My only concern this year is we got talent but the Line depth and leadership isn’t there like is was last year.
