RMSH has one loss.

What game did they lose?

RMHS has won all five games on the field, but was cited by the NCHSAA with playing with an ineligible player in its season opener - a 43-14 win over East Forsyth.

Rocky Mount reported the ineligible player in what it thought was the eight-day reporting window that was available to it. But the NCHSAA handbook is vague about when that eight-day period exists from.
