Did your old high school football team win on Friday night??? Mine did, it was Western Guilford knocking off Southwestern Randolph, 29-0….Good to see the old WG get the v-i-c-t-o-r-y….Hoping that our main man Timothy Baker was able to get his 100 yards on the ground and maybe 2-3 TDs rushing…
++++++++++from one of our readers on the WG-SWR game:
Glad to be back in football season. All about discipline and over coming adversity for Hornets taking the field against the Cougars. WG Hornets win in a big shutout 29-0. Good showing by the Hornets to start the season 1-0, lead by Tim Baker Jr with big 2 TD runs, QB Caleb Moore, Elijah Hayes. Hornets defense was swarming all night. Congrats to Hornets for the victory.++++++++++
Do we a have very strong candidate for our Player of the Week??? Should it be this guy right here???
Grimsley opened its season with a pounding 34-12 victory over Winston-Salem Mount Tabor on Friday night at Jamieson Stadium.
Senior running back Mitchell Summers ran for five touchdowns and 165 yards on 25 carries as the 5-foot-6 spark plug back and his offensive line stole the spotlight from the four players on the field sporting three or more stars on their recruiting rankings.
For our Guiford County guys is it Mitchell Summers??? Any challengers out there waiting in the wings???
Who won the High Point Andrews-Bartlett Yancey game??? Can’t find that score anywhere….
Did find this from earlier on Friday….

Western Guilford-W

Forgot to pick the Northwest Guilford-Burlington Williams winner…The NWG Vikings topped Williams, 33-16, and that is a BIG win for the Northwest Guilford Vikings…Northwest sort of shocked me on that one…That might be the Game-Winner of the Night, and Northwest won it AT Burlington’s City Stadium, on the Walter Williams High School campus…If I would have remembered to pick on this game going in, I would have taken Williams, because Williams and their fine QB Dan Mahan, defeated Northwest Guilford and their outstanding QB Tanner Ballou last season…Let’s go ahead and give it up for the NWG Vikings, with an Extra-Large Win here…
(On the picks, Andy was 12-0, pending the High Point Andrews result, we could see AD going to 13-0 for this week.)
Dudley picked up where they left off late season…The Dudley Panthers were hitting on all cylinders, in Week One of the 2024 season…The Panthers just need to clean up some bad snaps on Punts and PATs and they should primed and ready to run through all of their opposition in the Mid-State 3-A Conference…
LJ Southern, the senior RB for Dudley, was very hot on Friday night as he went out and had a Skip McCall football “Free For All”…Southern scored the first touchdown of the game, with a Pick Six for the Panthers…Then later on, Southern scored on a TD run…And Southern ran a punt back 75 yards for a touchdown, but it was called back, due to a Dudley penalty…Southern Pride was on the line, and it was all laid out, on Friday night at the Marion Kirby Stadium, home of the Page Pirates…
Southern checks in as the Player of the Game on the GreensboroSports Radio broadcast…Southern also with the Play of the Game, with that Pick Six, that got the game and the season, OFF and RUNNING…

FINAL SCORE:
Dudley 53, Page 7
(Page actually hit on a positive, with the Pirates winning the second half of this game, 7-6….Dudley was living in Prime Time here early in the season, but the road will get tougher, with the Dudley Panthers hosting the Southeast Guilford Falcons, next Friday night at Tarpley Stadium…Page will be home again next week, vs. the Reidsville Rams.)
Dudley was really quick getting to the ball on defense vs. Page with their D-backs Jerron Blackwell, Kordell Bartley, Nas Newkirk, Le’Ezra Brown, and LJ Southern, all getting to ball very quickly, and the Dudley line up front, with Jordyn Ratliff, Dakota Brown, Andrew Rogers, Jalile Elliot, and Seth Lawrence are all, all over the place and all were causing havoc, all night long….Impressed by the Page Pirates young Bucs, like Marqui Lynch, Jesse Poole, Zion Malloy and others…
Here’s one more look for you, on your FINAL SCORES from Friday night…Still would like to get our hands on the High Andrews-Bartlett Yancey final….And by the way we are hearing, it is Grimsley at Rolesville, in what they say is going to be a BIG one, next Friday night…Stay Tuned….

Grimsley was shaking the rust off at the start of this game. Looked a little vulnerable in the secondary and for sure missing the two outstanding wide receivers that have moved on to UNC and NC State. Our QB and running back can compete against anybody this year just need to continue to develop the folks around them. Oline and Dline looked solid. Special teams look good. #1 at wide receiver looked very good and has outstanding quickness. We will be the best team in Guildford County again this year but need to develop in a few spots to win another State Championship.
Dudley with a big time win over Team Take Off. Everyone around Greensboro know the promises from the program. (Wrong for that). Coach Davis still and always has had the Panthers ready for anything great job coach. Pirate family let’s not let these Aau and 7/7 coaches destroy our program like Ben l Smith 2 years ago.
Substance matters. There is a different between Programs and Teams. There are a lot of teams in guilford county. But there are really only 2 Programs….
@Gfan Grimsley is not the best team in the county this year but everyone has their own opinions.
