Big Night For Big East

Northern Nash made their second trip of the season to South Central. Way back in September they traveled there for a non-conference game. The Northern Defense did a good job while the offense did just enough to beat South Central 14-12.

This season the Knights offense has gotten better and better and the defense has stayed steady while the offense has grown and grown as the season has passed by. Clinching second place the Knights find themselves in the second round and facing a team that they have already beaten and again at South Central.

Tonight Northern has shown the folks in the Coastal conference that they are for real as they have gone to South Central and laid a whipping on the Falcons 37-10. Rashad Hedgepeth and T J Marshall both rush for over a 100 yards .

This victory sets up a rematch their third of the playoffs as they will meet up against #1 seed Big East Foe Hunt a team ironically the Knights have already been to this year. Tonight Hunt beat Coastal conference West Carteret 37-17.

Thanksgiving Friday the Knights meet the Warriors.

Roanoke Rapids spotted Tarboro a 35 point lead earlier this year when they met during the regular season and did all they could to give Tarboro a heart attack in that game before finally losing 42-35.

Tonight the Yellow Jackets tried the same trick spotting Tarboro a 21-0 lead at the half mainly because of three Jacket turn overs which Tarboro converted into 21 point.

RR score midway in the third quarter to cut the lead to 21-7 but Tarboro has proven over the past three years or so that they don't like losing at home. Tarboro adds two fourth quarter scores to take down the Jackets 35-14. The Yellow Jackets had five turnovers and the Vikings converted four of them into 28 points. The Jackets finish with two losses both administered by the Tarboro Vikings.

Tonight's victory #13 for the Vikes with zero losses heads to East Duplin Thanksgiving Friday night. East Duplin did host Rocky Mount the third game of the season and beat the Gryphons 14-0. Neither has play a common opponent so they will have to rely on film exchange to see each other.
