Was praying for Dudley. NG should be a fun game too though
That is cool seeing Reagan on the schedule. Props to both schools - the Rams are never afraid to take on much larger schools and good on the Raiders for scheduling a game against a smaller school that they could very easily lose to. If I recall, the starting Reagan QB got injured early in the 2024 season and that threw them into some limbo. But not sure if he was a senior or an underclassman and will be back for 2025.?
Yea I like the competitiveness of the OOC portion of the schedule for sure. Not sure what the gates will be as opposed to a Dudley game, but the comp will still be good. I wonder how good GW is currently too. Only game I think they could potentially lose is the NG matchup
I forgot about Reagan for a sec there, depending on what all Reidsville returns and whatever the defense looks like, I think it’s a good game at least despite the winner. Idk if Reidsville & Danville have a history but if so the crowd should be fun. Does the Rockingham game bring a good crowd at this point? Never been in person
I’ve never seen it be close to a good game honestly.
Only time I’ve ever seen it be remotely close was 2023, so I’m shocked that it still brings the same crowd no matter what, but that’s super respectable nonetheless. Every time I check the score it’s usually 50-7 range.
A Reidsville can correct me, but I think Rockingham Co. has only beaten the Rams a couple of times maybe going back years and years? It is hardly a rivalry since the Rams usually grind Rockingham Co. into dust. There are obviously athletes in Rockingham Co. and talent. So I have never understood why Rockingham Co. football can't be better. I know asking them to be similar to Reidsville HS is too much and most no team in NC can match their success. But the Cougars should be better in football than what they have shown over the years.
RC is on record for only beating them twice since the school was founded in 1952. Granted, Reidsville record against every school in the county is very lopsided to say the least. But the RCHS series is the 2nd worst (2-45). The worst is the McMichael (0-35)
Yeah that is correct the different classification based on school enrollment (2A and 4A) plays a part in the playoff points earned. GW also has numerous former NC high school coaches on staff such as Lin Stadler who coached at Reidsville, Rockingham, Morehead as well as former longtime Cummings OC Jay Perdue, former Cummings head coach Steve Johnson who works closely with the program. Agree that the eagles are not short on talent.
Reidsville and Danville played for the first time in 1911....they have played each other 38 times.....Reidsville holds the edge in wins with 21..Danville has 15 wins and there have been 2 ties.........2006 was the last time they played...Danville has been reluctant to play Reidsville over the years because Virginia used to have a screwy system where they penalized larger schools for playing smaller schools and really penalized them if they lost to a smaller school..............they used power rating to decide where a school was seeded..........................
I can’t even say it’s that surprising at this point considering the amount of attention Reidsville’s program gets nationally through social media. Their presence is so far out of of NC and the envy has become so strong through Kendre & Dionte that folks wanna beat them BAD.
You Mt Airy was looking for a couple of dates, think they are full now, that would have been to great gates also. Plus hopefully 2 good game.Schedule Shelby now that they're in the JV league. It'll prep you for the playoffs.
You do look pretty much like this fella Frank...LOL
