The college football season opened officially yesterday and what a thriller in Greenville. Don't worry Pirate fans, the App State comeback was not because you are not as good as you thought. App State is really good. Good win for Skip Holtz and the Pirates 29-24.
The Tarheels are one of the few ACC teams to win over the weekend. In fact one of the few to beat a FCS team as both Duke and Virginia lose. Hard to make out how well the Heels played in their 40-6 win over The Citadel. Tarboro's Shaun Draughn gets over a hundred yards rushing for the Heels.
Rocky Mount High's Terrell Hudgins after making FCS All-American the last three years at Elon start the 2009 campaign as if he plans to make it four years in a row. Terrell had 7 catches for 156 yards and two touchdown grabs. He could of had a third td pass but on a 55 year catch he was brought down at the one.
Even though his Hokies lost last night to Alabama Rocky Mount's Stephan Virgil had 9 tackles including 3 behind the line for a loss for Virginia Tech. If both Virgil and Hudgins stay healthy their senior seasons they should both be drafted next April in the NFL 2010 draft. Virgil had to leave the game with 29 seconds to play last night but he left the field under his own power.
Tarboro is pitching a shutout so far on the 2009 high school football season. Their 45-0 white washing of Northern Nash Friday now leaves The Vikings having scored 117 points while allowing zero.
The four Nash County High Schools are at the other end of the spectrum from each other. Southern Nash and Rocky Mount are 5-0 while Nash Central and Northern Nash are are 0-6
