The games that got my attention were:
1)The High Point Central win over Northwest Guilford….The Bison defeat NWG at Northwest and that sort of changes the last meeting of the season with East Forsyth at Northwest…HP Central moved Geoffrey Wall to QB last week and it looks like that move is paying off for Central….
2)Southeast Guilford and Smith and that 28-25 final…SEG wins it, but I never dreamed this game would be that close, although the Smith JV’s defeated SEG on Thursday night 24-14….Smith has showed signs of improvement this year and the Golden Eagles just took the SEG Falcons to the wire….Hoping that SEG will get the chance to be back home for this first time in 2015 next Friday night as they are set to host the Southern Alamance Patriots…
3)Ragsdale falling at Southwest Guilford….I felt the Tigers had a great chance to go in and take one from the SWG Cowboys tonight, but my feeling is, if Jaren Rainey was back full steam for SWG, that makes the Cowboys and totally different team….Rainey can run and Rainey can pass….He is the dual threat dream and he must have made a nightmare out of Ragsdale’s trip to High Point and ‘The Corral’ this evening…
4)I was surprised that the Grimsley Whirlie fans did not fill up their side over at Marion Kirby Stadium this eveing…When the game was played at Grimsley, the Page fans turned out in droves….Page seemed to enjoy the setting at their place and they made the most out of a great opportunity to host the Page-Grimsley game on this Friday night and Rusty Lee and his staff did a super job of having everything laid out and all seemed to run real smooth at Page tonight….
5)I continue to be surprised by Diondre Overton from Page….He might be just as good at DB as he is at wide receiver….This kid can play on both sides of the ball and he took a cheap shot in the end of his touchdown run tonight and he did not deserve that junk….
6)Was pleasantly surprised with the Southern Guilford over Asheboro 21-7 score….Was expecting maybe a 6 point game or something even closer….Great job Storm to go on the road and get that clear-cut “W” in Asheboro and give the Blue Comets just their second loss of the season….
7)Was surprised that Northeast Guilford didn’t have more for Burlington Williams tonight and I thought NEG had a very good chance to pull of the upset in this game, down in Burlington….Rams needed that one to hit that #2 spot in the win column and this was a chance/shot that seems to gone by the wayside…
8)I would not be surprised if C.J. Freeman run for well over 100 yards and scored at least 3 touchdowns tonight in the Northern Guilford Nighthawks victory over Eastern Guilford…It is time for Caleb Freeman to start stepping up and to lead his team on strong direct route into the 3-AA playoffs…Coach Johnny Roscoe hit career win #298 tonight and win #300 is just around the corner and you can what you will, but 300 careers wins is very impressive, I don’t care where you are from and who you have been playing….10 wins a year for 30 years and you are there and just over 7 wins a season for 40 years will get you there and this would not be an easy task….
9)A good surprise with Hendon Hooker at 7 TD’s and loads of yards tonight in the Dudley Panthers win over Southern Alamance and the Panthers got the shutout, which is a great reward for the defense…..On Hooker’s night he threw for 317 yards for 6 TD’s and added another TD on a 42-yard rush. That Hooker-Jones Battle/Page-Dudley Battle is looking pretty for two from tonight at Dudley….
10)I will try and get some more stats and numbers to add to our list that have started now and will continue on with stats and numbers in our upcoming Saturday Morning Rewind and I am surprised that I am finished with the Friday Night Finish and it is only 11:43……
