Letter of appreciation
To the Editor
As the president of the Reidsville Ram Football Booster Club, I want to take this time and space to give the Reidsville Review two big thumbs up for their coverage of the Rams' state title quest.
The coverage the sports staff and the paper in general gave Reidsville High School was unprecedented. As a former sports editor at the paper, i know the time it takes to put into making this effort a success. I think the staff did a tremendous job. A tip of the ol' helmut goes out to Steve Canulli, Steve Williams, Robert Ross, Brett Knight, and John Trump (and any others I don't know about) for the work they put in.
I also want to thank Coach Jimmy Teague and his great staff for the thankless hours they put in throughout the season. Fans only see the games on Friday, they don't see what Teague does behind the scenes. And, he's got the best coaching staff in North Carolina, which is what makes Reidsville the Football Capital of North Carolina with its 16 state championships.
As president of the booster club, I can't begin to name all those that help out during the preseason and throughout the four-month season. You know who you are and I greatly appreciate the job you do.
Closure to a great season can't be done without mention of the youth program I supervise at the Reidsville Parks & Recreation Department. Future Rams and borne out of this program every year and that can't be done without a great group of volunteer coaches. Thanks guys for all you do.
In closing, when the dust finally settled on Reidsville's 28-20 state 2-AA championship win over Shelby Dec. 8 in Raleigh, Reidsville school teams (Raiders, Baby Rams, Rams) finished with a combined 33-0 record. And, our Rec league 10-12 all-stars went undefeated in winning the USFA championship in King on Thanksgiving weekend.
By all indications there's plenty of reason to believe we'll see the Rams adding to their state record of 16 championships in years to come.
