Big East Faces Tough Night

If the weather cooperates with Rocky Mount Friday night there is potential to have an extremely large crowd. Rocky Mount is the only Big East team that plays at home.

What a game to have to recover from your first loss of the season hosting the Cougars of Southwest Edgecombe. A loss Friday would make the Gryphons 2-2. That will not mean they are a bad team just that they have played two awesome teams back to back. I think it will be close but the Cougars prevail 22-14

Hunt who really has the most to prove Friday night after they were taken to the cleaners by Southwest travels to cross county rival Beddingfield . Hunt gets back on track but not by much 28-20

Fike travels to C B Aycock. There are not many opportunity for wins on the Golden Demons schedule the rest of the season. They will take advantage winning 20-7.

Northern tries to get a W with a visit to South Johnston. Not this week at the oh for the season continues for another week. South Johnston 28 Northern 6

Thus far the Firebirds of Southern Nash have won four games without a loss. They are the only Big East team that can say that, but not after Friday 28-22 South Granville.

Nash Central has had two weeks to come up with a new game plan. They travel to Bertie which is never a good place to play whether they are good or not. The bulldogs come close but the Falcons sneak one out 28-26.

I told you yesterday of the best laid plans of both Tennis and Volleyball traveling together to save on expenses. When one team plays inside and the other outside, one can play in the rain and tennis stayed home. They play at 4.00pm Friday at Southern. Soccer was also washed out at franklinton but no make up date is yet made.

Volley ball did manage to beat Southern in Volley ball to go to 4-0 in conference play. It was a five set match. It was their 10th win in eleven tries.

Coverage of SWE and Rocky Mount football begins at 7.00pm on am 1390. I think if the weather is near anything like today the game will be played.
