The ROCK at Northeast Guilford is playing back now at GreensboroSports Radio….
(Where were the TV stations on Thursday night at Bill Bookout Stadium??? Did not see any at The Book…No TV coverage whatsoever, and this was one of the top, if not the Top Game in our area….Maybe not the Biggest Game, but got to say , The Best Game…Where were the TV stations for the NEG-ROCK game?)
Tight/Close Football Games this year on GreensboroSports Radio?????
This year we have had Two Overtime Games, a game that was 1:05 away from OT, another game that was a one-point cliffhanger with a one-point difference with just 1:40 left in the game, and tonight, we have a one point game at the half, and then we are at a five-point difference with around 2:00 left in the game, and Northeast Guilford the team that was down five, the NEG Rams got the ball back at their own 12-yard line with just :54 seconds left in the contest….
NEG had the chance, but a pick by The ROCK put out the Rams’ fire, and we had to settle for that 18-13 squeezer…
More on the way like the NEG first and goal, goal line stand, and that was first and goal from the Rams four-yard line and the NEG Rams got the BIG stop…They got a nice yellow flag on a punt that was blocked, and The ROCK was called for running into the punter….A true Dogfight, a hard-fought game, and it was really Unreal tonight at Bill Bookout Stadium, home of the NEG Rams…
