Day Two Of school-Week Two Of Football

Last week was Endowment games which are for varsity football only. This week the JVs can begin their seasons and tonight they will. Rocky Mount is on the road to Northern Durham, Nash Central is home to Smithfield Selma and Northern Nash is home to the IMPs of Cary High School. Southern Nash will host Bunn.

That in turn brings us to the second week of varsity football. Rocky Mount who maybe surprised people last week against Bertie will play their first home game of the season against a school that is going through a period that no team wants to do. Rebuild, win less last season and last week was not very good for Northern Durham. Four home games on tap this season Friday will be one of the few opportunities to see the Gryphons in action without travel.

Northern Nash has a winning record for the first time in a long while at any time during the season. Trying to build on that record will be difficult as they travel to Cary. Scoring at least twenty points last week is very good news for the Knights and they will need another twenty point effort in this one. I don't think the Knights get it done but it will be close.

Nash Central failed to score last week against Tarboro. That's not all bad. Friday they travel to Smithfield Selma where they will not only try for their first win but their first points of the season. Nash Central will score but not enough.

Southern Nash will hit the road for their second of three straight games on the road to start the season. They will venture to Bunn who I think during the next high school realignment will become a member of the Big East. Bunn regardless of the size of the school Bunn is a football school and those people live football. This will give the Firebirds a real vision on how good they really are.

Hunt rides into downtown Wilson Friday playing Fike in a non conference game. Fike scored the speed limit on D H Conley last week but they will probably find it hard to score this week because of the speed bump called Hunt.

Volleyball travels to Double R (Roanoke Rapids)today in non conference action. This weekend soccer takes part in the Brittany in Wilson and cross country runs Saturday in a event in Wendell.
