Round Two Matchups

The real playoffs begin this Friday. The NCHSAA plays as many games as possible to make as much money as they can so last Friday's match ups were as bad for making money as our economy is right now. Also every game failed to make expenses.

The gates should be a lot better this week even if it rains because everyone is in jeopardy of losing.

Here are the Eastern 3-A Matchups:

Eastern Alamance at Hertford County.... EA is 11-1 while HC is 10-2
They have not play any common opponents. EA is averaging 28 points per game. HC is at 45.
EA is giving up 14 while HC 18.

This game could be a shootout and after Western Alamance has handled HC the last couple of years early in playoff EA will not respect HC plus the long drive to what EA will feel like will be the middle of no where. Hertford County 42 Eastern Alamance 28

Hertford County will play Rocky Mount twice again this year.

Washington At West Craven..... Washington 8-4 West Craven 12-0

They played each other in a conference game in early October with WC winning 16-6 at Washington. WC was 7-0 in the Coastal 4-A/3-A conference while Washington was 5-2.

Washington is averaging 24 points per game while WC has lit up the scoreboard for 37 a game. Washington gives up almost 20 while WC 11.

Score won't be as close this time playing at West Craven WC 35-Washington 14

Southwest Edgecombe at Kinston SWE is 9-2 while Kinston is 10-2

Common opponents... Nash Central lost to Kinston last week at Kinston 14-6 while during conference play SWE beat Nash Central 34-21 at SWE. Kinston has played Jacksonville 28-6, Hunt 29-10 and Southern Wayne 20-0 while Rocky Mount blew out all three of those teams. SWE hung with Rocky Mount all game.

SWE is averaging 31 points per game while Kinston almost 34. Defensively SWE ia allowing 15 while Kinston is holding the defensive scores to 15.

This has been a resurgemt year for Kinston Football but the Season ends at home as the Cougars win 26-20

J F Webb @ Rocky Mount Webb is 9-3 while Rocky Mount comes in at 11-1

Webb averages 32 per contest while the Gryphons 38. Webb gives up 17 while the Gryphons only 7.

The only common foe was Northern Vance in which we played NV at NV on Oct 2nd while Webb play them at NV on Oct 10th Gryphons won 26-10 Webb lost 24-23.

John Hammetts returns to Rocky Mount and Webb may be the first team to score on Rocky Mount in first quarter this year.

However too Much defense from the Gryphons and too much offense too

Gryphons 35-Webb 14

There you have it only four days to find out how accurate this is.
