The Eastern Finals: If you are a person who loves to watch local teams when they play in the playoffs then you are traveling tonight.

Southern Nash @South Johnston- The last Big East team will need to cover all over the field. We all remember that Rocky Mount hit them for a big play passing when they should have been expecting it. If Southern holds on to the ball they have a chance but they can not afford to be –minus two in turnovers when this one is over. South Johnston will play in the state championship game for the first time ever. SJ 28 Southern Nash 20

North Edgecombe @ Wallace Rose Hill- By far the Warriors have the most to be proud of this year. No one, no not one thought they would still be playing. If the truth be known, I don’t know of many who thought they would win more than two or three games this year. WRH will move on 28-6 over the Warriors. I hope the Warriors fool me again.

Tarboro @ East Bladen: Tarboro will try to get back to the final game for the second year in a row. This will be their stiffest challenge to date. Tarboro will be heading back to the the championship game after they beat East Bladen 19-6.

Hope that all three of our local teams win.

The first time ever the Big Ten has beaten the ACC in the Big Ten-ACC showdown. All six team that lost played a part but none was bigger than Clemson blowing a 23 point lead with 17 minutes to play and losing.

Last night Buffalo had a home NFL football game in Toronto Canada. When the 90 something owner of the Bills dies expect the Bills to find a new Home. LA?, San Antonio?
