Bengals ties to the NC Piedmont

[wcu]

Germaine Pratt, DJ Reader, Larry Ogunjobi and Akeem Davis-Gaither all played high school football with approximately 30 minutes of my house. Today, I saw a couple of billboards around town with their faces and telling them good luck. Just about everyone in this region of the state is pulling for us because of those four guys.

Sweet. Pratt played at High Point Central, Reader at Grimsley, Ogunjobi at Ragsdale, and Davis-Gaither at Thomasville. I used to run a restaurant that was almost across the street from Grimsley, but Reader would have been gone by then.

It is nice going to work and having folks pull for the Bengals in the playoffs.
