Not even a glorified scrimmage. Andy Griffith would not be happy.
Now the players did their part. They all played hard. And you have to love the game if you play for Graham and have no chance at all of achieving even a smidgen of success. What a tough year for a once great football program and town.
Pitiful crowd. I counted about 150 total with slightly more Reidsville fans. Heck, only seven Reidsville cheerleaders made the trip. And you got to hand it to them, doing their best all game long trying to generate what little enthusiasm there was.
And White Hat did his part, waiting for up to a full minute at times to start the 25 second clock.
With about 4 minutes left in the game (running clock since the second quarter) it looked like he was trying to tell the Graham coaches that he was not going to start the 25 second clock and they could all just stand there until the game clock expired. Unfortunately they ran a play and the carnage continued.
Injury wise, the Rams lost Colby Johnson with an elbow injury. Hopefully it is not too serious and he can return soon. He is one tough kid and he goes all out on both sides of the ball. Need him healthy.
On a positive note, Reidsville's Zack Purdue (has missed many games with injury) was on the sidelines with his jersey on. Rams will need him on the defensive line if they are to make a deep run in the playoffs.
And YES they still have the $3 bbq sandwiches at the concession stand. So, the trip over was not a complete loss.
Oh, rambbq, hag said the last time in sat out in the rain was 2004. And it was nice up in that press box.
