Friday Nite Rivalries Game of the Week #6 - Battle of High Point 

Eastern Guilford Outlasts NE Guilford

PictureBryant Barr 7 carries 98 Yards 2-2 30 yards 2 TD's
Eastern started the game looking like the juggernaut that their record would suggest, jumping on Northeast 21-0 midway through the 2nd quarter.  Eastern's Bryant Barr threw a 21 yard TD pass to Zaccheus Milton on 4th and 20 to make the game 21-0 with 3:21 remaining in the first half and it looked like the route was on.  However nobody sent that memo to Northeast's QB Gerald Simpson.  Simpson came out and completed 6 passes in 7 attempts and drove the Rams down the field and completed the 73 yard drive with a spectacular TD pass that closed out the half and changed the momentum of the game.  Both teams traded TD's to begin the 3rd and then both defenses took over forcing each team into turnovers and punts.  Northeast finally got going behind Simpson with 5 minutes remaining in the game.  Simpson drove the Rams down to the field and looked to be moving them into the end zone.  However a couple of dropped passes at the goal line and a sack on 4th down halted what would have been a classic comeback.  the final score 28-14 Eastern Guilford. Bryant Barr finished with 7 carries for 98 yards rushing and was 2-2 for 30 yards and 2 TD's.  Simpson was 14-24 for 198 yards and 2 TD's for the Rams.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

Emmanuel Moseley
Former Friday Nite Rivalries Emmanuel Moseley joined the Tennessee football program as a little-known defensive back recruit weighing 145 pounds. On a national scale, the signing of the Dudley standout was a head-scratcher. But not for Volunteers coach Butch Jones and his staff, the same crew who brought four-time All-Pro J.J. Watt and four-time Pro Bowl player Antonio Brown to Central Michigan. “It just goes back to trusting and believing in your recruiting profile,” Jones said. “And I don't really look at it as taking a chance. We gave a young man an opportunity, but he’s made the most of his opportunity. And to me it wasn't a gamble, it wasn't a risk, because of the intangibles, because of the character, the competitive character, because of the internal drive.” The recruiting effort by Tennessee paid off and Moseley, who was committed to Charlotte entering his senior season at Dudley, pledged to the Volunteers on Sept. 10, 2013. “Charlotte is a great school. I’m not going to knock them, they are a great school,” Moseley explained. “I was happy with the commitment because I wanted to just be able to show my talents and be able to have an opportunity to play in college. But Tennessee offered, which is a bigger school, so I just decided I would come to Tennessee.” Not only would Moseley go to Tennessee because it provided a more established football program, he would enroll early. The decision to participate in spring football in 2014 fed into an ongoing transformation. “… From the nutrition, to the strength and conditioning coaches and the unbelievable weight rooms (top-tier programs) have and you have a young man who is willing to put in the work, you can gain weight,” Dudley coach Steven Davis said. “Then when you have a dietitian telling you what to eat and when to eat and, like Emmanuel said, when he went to use the bathroom they wanted to know, so they were doing their homework to get him to where he is now.”
The lineage of NFL players to graduate from Dudley is strong. The late Hall of Famer Charlie Sanders, David Amerson, Jeff Davis, DeMario Pressley and Marques Douglas all walked the same hallways as Moseley. The foundation is one reason why his success was all but pre-determined.
Entering his junior season, Moseley has seen the field more than even Jones could have predicted out of high school. His work ethic has set him apart in the Volunteers' locker room and put Moseley in a position to have a major impact on what could be a special season in Knoxville.
Week 5 
Key Match-Ups  
​(State Rankings)
​#1 Dudley (5-0) vs #22 Richmond County (4-1)
For the 3rd time in as many weeks Dudley faces one of the States top ranked teams in Richmond County.  Richmond comes in 4-1 with their lone loss coming to Butler 42-41.   Last year Dudley came into this game undefeated and Richmond upset them on their home field.  Dudley travels to Richmond with a chance to get some payback for last year.  They will need another stellar game from it leader Hendon Hooker, also  running backs Ezra Perkins and Zareik Rush will need to bring their A game for Dudley to remain undefeated. Hooker leads the Panthers with 885 yards passing and 10 TD's in addition to 336 yards rushing  and 7TD's.  rush and Perkins have combined for 650 yards and 6 TD's 
​#2 E. Forsyth (5-0) vs #12 Page (4-1)
Big time players make big time plays and in this game it will be necessary for each teams big time players to perform for the victory.  Page's Will Jones, who has been lighting the skies up lately has more than 1000 yards passing, will need to continue his aerial assault along with the strong running of Javon Leake to keep their win streak in tact. Eastern's Brandon Bullins 40-69 665 yards and 6 TD's will need to be sharp against a Page team that has been on a roll.  In addition to Bullin's RB Christian Beal who comes in with 405 yards rushing and 4TD's will need to have a solid game and help Eastern control the clock and limit Page's possessions if they want to win
HP Andrews (1-3) vs HP Central (2-3)
This game is "The Battle of High Point", it is a classic rivalry game. Both teams share the same home field. Both have rich traditions and both have tremendous school pride.  Both teams come in a little down from their normal winning ways, but this might be just the game to knock off the rust and jump start either teams season.  This game is pivotal for both teams as they both would like to head into conference play with some momentum.  Look for a knockdown drag out affair in this one as neighbors and former pop warner team mates go head to head
#3 Reidsville (5-0) vs NW. Guilford (3-1) 
Reidsville looks more like the Rams team we've come to expect under coach Jimmy Teague. Both teams come in rested after having a week off.  NW has had time to recuperate after a tough loss to SE Guilford and Reidsville looks to continue its winning ways against a NW team that is missing its main cog in Thomas Hennigan.  Tre Turner will need to get it going early and often for Northwest to be successful against the Rams.

Why Am I Not Being Recruited?
One of the biggest questions student athletes have on their mind today. "Why am I not being recruited?"

3 Questions you should be asking yourself?

1. What are my GRADES? - Are my grades and ACT or SAT test scores good enough to get into a college without a scholarship? If the answer is yes, then you are good. If the answer is borderline, then you must be able to show the person recruiting you that you can be a hard worker. Your spring grades need to reflect that you can make the grade when given the opportunity. 2 bad semesters of grades mean you haven't tried all year-round. 
2. Is my COACHING STAFF helping me? - If you are not receiving any help from your coaching staff, then you need to find out why. It could be as simple as the head coach is too busy to deal with 60-100 players. Make sure that the coach understands that you are pursuing the possibility of going to the next level. Let the people who are recruiting you make the choice of whether you are good enough to join their team. Sometimes it's a matter of what they need to fill a position. You just need the OPPORTUNITY.  Don't be mad at the coach, it's still your responsibility. Keep a working relationship with that coach, because you will need him or her in the end. 
3. ARE MY HIGHLIGHTS GOOD ENOUGH ?- Remember, college coaches most of the time never meet the athlete in person. Usually they watch highlights of the players first, then they try to make contact with the coaching staff to inquire about you. Have your coach make you a copy of each game so you can create or find someone to create your video.  You have to make a strong impression on them on your video.  Here are some
​Does and Don'ts.

1. Best plays go first on the video. With so many videos to watch the coach may never see more than the first minute of your video. 
2. Use instrumental music or no music. Lyrics could have the coach turning the video off. Cursing or screaming songs is not what they want to hear when watching a video. 
3. Put stats on you video only if they are decent, like 90 tackles and 6 sacks and 5 Ints. List your height and weight so they know that ahead of the time. Put your heaviest weight that you have been the current year on the video. High school players tend to be smaller than the playing size of a college player. 
4. The video length should not be longer than 5 minutes or less than 2 minutes. Once they are interested you, they will have you send them a full game dvd. Make sure you check with your coach to make sure they get your best complete game. 
5. If you play multiple positions, always put your primary position highlights first, but also include the other positions as well. The coach might be looking for one thing, but you might be there answer for another position as well. This will make your stock rise. 
6. Hire a professional to do your highlight video. Parents are great but they are not the ones who should  be filming and piecing the videos together. Most of the time they are talking or screaming throughout the video. Unless they have experience with editing videos, they tend to look too choppy, which will make a recruiter throw your dvd in the NOT interested pile of dvds because of the video quality. It will be cheaper for you to hire someone than have to pay for college as a walk-on. CHEAPER...
