Hate that each team is without their No. 1 running back ... still expect plenty of fireworks and a packed house.
Real translation of this post, “We’re going to beat Shelby, and we’re going to end any injury excuse in advance”. No worries of any excuse, my guy. You guys better bring your A game, regardless.

Our excuse at running back is we don't have much depth. I would run Norris some with a 2 back set along with the younger Tate. Maybe even get the 9th grader back there some too. We will for sure see the wildcat with Bridges and Hollifield if he is healthy. Tristan has been so good especially in the playoffs.

When I read that yesterday I knew you would pick up what my man TGT was putting out.... BUT that cryptic post is a bit more than that...

Also injecting a small splinter in there, just in case the unthinkable happened that we beat them , then it would be like, "yeah I posted the other day we wouldn't have our #1 running back also and it hurt us and cost us the game"
Or am I giving you too much credit @TGT lol


Reidsville fans honestly wants us to lose more than they want to win this game.... HA HA HA HA HA

On the Reidsville facebook page, some of their fans already like "Please God beat Shelby" praying to the almighty for help.... ha ha ha ha

They aren't saying a whole lot because last friday night when they heard 16-0 they let out a sigh thinking whew glad we dont have them again..... Then when the final became known their foreheads tightened up, they got tense, and began wondering if they can actually do it this time... They get quiet when they are nervous, but if they beat us there will be thousands of new Reidsville fans on here... LOL either way Ill be having fun win or lose.....

I don’t think redd was our number one back though. Yes he was the number one back last year, but you gotta give Cobb the rock he has division one offers.

I don't understand why so much posting about injuries.

Reidsville also has injuries but most posters don't know about them or I guess they would spend as much time crying about injuries, lack of depth, or maybe playing JVs or Freshmen.

This will be a great game with great matchups. Rams Dionte Neal will play Bridges man up and I can't wait to see the two super players in that face-off.

The key to this game will be whether Shelby can successfully pass against one of the best secondaries Reidsville has ever put on the field now that both Neal and Flippen are playing the corners. Throwing to Neal's side of the field is like poking a stick at a rattlesnake. You have to be very, very careful or you will get a lethal bite.

Shelby posters started the injury rumors before their game was finished against FH so they would have excuse when they lose this Friday.

Exactly! The kid attended camps, and made himself a prospect at that postion. Per, Mule, that’s the postion that attracted recruiters anyway, despite what he’s looked like on the other side of the ball. Redd was just used as a pawn in that post. Heck, FBC response to it was, “Cobb is good to go”, because that’s who your featured back is/was, regardless. He assumed he was talking about Cobb. Redd has been gone since the preseason. He likely would have filled Tamir Johnson’s role anyway.

How about not reading more into it than it being an opposing fan being nice and saying he hates your RB got hurt? 🤷

Oh please! Dude, that’s a 1500 yard rusher. We hated to lose the kid, period. We were more concerned with beating Forest Hills. That game wasn’t decided till the 4th quartet, just as your game was.

Redd got hurt first couple of days of the season. Adjusting to a season ending injury in August is much more manageable than Thanksgiving. I wish Redd was healthy and I think he would have helped us out on both sides of the ball. In my opinion, I think Cobb would have emerged as 1a and Redd 1b. I really hate to hear any kid has a season ending injury whether it's August or Championship game.

Nah, you know it, and I know it. But, he’s genuinely a good dude, as most of you are. You guys haven’t mentioned Redd all year till now, because he’s obviously been out since the preseason. We all have been on this site long enough to somewhat know each other.

I’ve mentioned him … gone but not forgotten….. he’s still on the roster and has been on the sideline, even when he was in wheelchair.

How many Golden Lions start both ways?
We have several kids going both ways. Due to the transfer portal, we don’t have near the depth we normally have. No one actually starts both ways, but you will see guys contributing on both sides of the ball.

Would I rather have Redd playing, of course we all would. Loosing any starter for the year is big... regardless of whether it August or November. TGT is a straight up guy. Shelby and Reidsville have posters that push buttons. He's not one of them

It’s Shelby reidsville. Friday night at 730 nothing else matters. Stats, capitals, capitols, droughts, wnchsaa, or que tucker will have no bearing.
Whether it’s talent, coaching or execution, Shelby has had our number lately.
I see it as a toss up, the team that plays with the worst memory will win.
We always say don’t let one play ruin your game, move on. I talked to a DC Friday night that didn’t realize he was down two scores. That’s playing forward.

Neal, as great as he is, will get abused by Bridges on some plays. Great players can’t be guarded by one player, see the NBA. As is Neal, Bridges is different. He has Flippen’s speed, and can cut on a dime. Flippen is a little faster, but it’s marginal. Even Neal will need some occasional help guarding Bridges, a safety over the top. If not, count on Bridges making you pay for it.

I'm looking for Bridges to get a lot of rushing attempts .

Yall game was decided when FH threw back to back picks. At y’all house. No way they was winning that game after that. I’d say same thing if Reidsville was throwing pic 6s lol

You’re better off just listening to rockingham radio if you’re not going to the Dudley game

It should be streamed, or at least an audio via KTC Broadcasting. Reidsville is going to get a huge gate, regardless. Shelby fans already have buses on tap, with one already filled.

The same way Yung Sherrill transferred from Cherryville to Lincolnton, right before the playoffs, the 2016 season.
