Not sure what he was thinking saying this. I'm sure it is posted on the walls of the locker room and weight room. Why give your rival extra motivation?

I just read the Laurinburg Exchange and saw Bailey's statement after Scotland's' loss to Pinecrest quote: “I really do feel like they’re (Pinecrest) the best football team in the conference".

That should be some good Raider locker room material to post!!

What do you mean?
The way I read it is that acknowledging the strengths of the opponent can be a powerful motivator. By recognizing Pinecrest as the best team in the conference, it not only shows respect for their abilities but also sets a clear benchmark for the Raiders to aspire to.
This kind of acknowledgment can fuel a sense of determination within the team. For instance, when athletes recognize the level of competition they’re up against, it often pushes them to elevate their own performance. We’ve seen this in various sports where teams rally together after a tough loss, using it as motivation to improve and come back stronger.

Moreover, this statement could serve as a wake-up call for the Raiders to assess their own strengths and weaknesses and remind them that there's always room for growth.

Just my 2-cents!

Also, the last time Scotland played at Raider Stadium Scotland prevailed 22-21! I hope this game will be another classic between the two teams, regardless of their respective records. Me and my family will be making the trip from Raleigh, can't wait!! Also thank you sec2011, Richmond completely dominated Pinecrest in a blowout 36-7!

I see Scotland’s record is 4-5 this year. I know Bailey is an outstanding coach. Must be lack of talent. With this being a rivalry game I figured they would be more talk on this game.

I agree! Not much discussion, unlike Richmond vs Scotland games in the past. Regardless I will be making the trip from Raleigh to see my Raiders play Scotland this Friday!

Go Raiders!

Coaching can certainly make a significant difference in a team's performance, but player talent and execution on the field are crucial as well.

Last time these 2 played at Raider stadium, richmond up 21-14 with ball deep in scot territory around 4 minutes people are actually leaving, scot gets a stop on 4th down,
Scot drives then has a 4th and 20 at the 20, pi in the endzone, then 4th and 10 from the 10, scots score, scots go for two and run the Philly special and get the two-point conversion, Richmond drives to about the Scotland 20 or so and the Scots intercept in the end zone in the game final seconds,
22-21 classic…

Looks like our Marlboro game has been changed to a win,
Forfeit, ineligible players, 5-4
All those x clinton players following the coach maybe some illegalities there,
Marlboro banned in SC playoffs..

Traveling to see good football should be done more. You’ve definitely done that this year!

1 weddington
2 hough
3 rolesville
4 c gibbons
5. E forsyth

Have not seen grimsley so from who ive seen looking at a
Hough weddington
Vs
Gibbons. Rolesville

title game
The west is a much tougher road, but I do feel those are the best too in the east.. i am seeing
Clayton @ Cleveland to add to the list. Looking forward to watching some great playoff games in the 4a West. have seen Weddington play five times in the last year and a half, the talent level there is really high and the coaching is even better, Adjustments made at halftime are point on..

With the upset at raider stadium tonight scotland can get the 3a #1 from the conf with a UP loss verse Pinecrest. Huge seeding diference, a low mid 20s seed compared to being seeded with the 1,s..
Plenty to play for tonight .

I guess we will have to see what he has to say in the interview…
I will say it was a good ball game, but them refs got on my nerves !!!!! they just made the game longer .
To many flags on both teams .
Maybe both teams did do all them penalties but can they just play ball to ? I just feel both teams had some unnecessary penalties but it’s hard to see from the stands.
Glad my team won !!!
Go raiders

So how do the playoffs work nowadays? Does Scotland still have a chance at 4-6…err, 4-5? Guess the Marlboro game gets wiped from the record?

just curious of your thoughts on this game. Did it change your thoughts on the east? Sounds like you’ve seen a lot of teams play this year.

You are all absolutely wrong! Marlboro only had to forfeit their games with Aynor and Georgetown. Their win over Scotland still stands, so Scotland's record is still 4-6!
