Rams send Cedar Ridge packing

On the heels of Friday night’s 54-12 romp of Cedar Ridge, the Reidsville Rams will now welcome St. Pauls into Community Stadium Friday night in the 2-AA quarterfinals of the NCHSAA prep football playoffs.
St. Pauls, a No. 4 seed, knocked off Southern Guilford 43-27 Friday night in its second-round game.
The Rams, who jumped out to a 35-0 first-quarter lead, were led by Ray Ray Butchee’s 213 yards passing and two touchdowns on just eight completions (8 for 10).
Mike Brown hauled in two catches – both touchdowns – for 102 yards.
Friday’s game will mark the 13th time the Rams will play a football game on Thanksgiving weekend.
Last year’s dramatic 30-29 win over Newton-Conover improved Reidsville’s Thanksgiv-ing record to 8-4.
The Rams will be playing in their sixth straight Thanksgiving weekend game.
Reidsville senior running back Tayon Graves finished the night with 71 yards and three touchdowns – leaving him 76 yards shy of 5,000 yards for his career. Graves now has 32 touchdowns for the season, his highest total ever.
Friday’s game with St. Pauls (9-4) gets under way at 7:30 p.m.
