Some Pride Restored

So far this high school football season I am perfect for the second week in a row.  The good news is I got them all right this week not all wrong.  All four Nash County high schools were winners and everyone is happy.

The Raymond Cobb Bowl went just as expected as SouthWest Edgecombe continues to be undefeated while playing North Edgecombe with Cobb as the Cougars coach.  Cobb who didn't lose many at home while at North Edgecombe and he didn't lose last night 30-14 over the Warriors.

Tarboro  gets their second win of the season over a 3-A school as the Pam Pack of Washington fall to the Vikings 34-21.  The last four years the Vikings have played for the State title winning the last three.  There is no reason from the first two games to make anyone think that Tarboro could still be playing football in December.

Southern Nash goes to 2-0 as they hand Beddingfield their first lost  with a 40-13 win over the Bruins.  remember  this was one of those games to compare scores since Northern Nash lost in a close tilt last week to Beddingfield 27-20.

Nash Central rebounded nicely  after giving up 42 to Tarboro to hold SSS to three points.  Not quite a shutout but holding them to no touchdowns will do.

Last week Rocky Mount gave up field position every time they kicked the ball.  Bertie takes one to the house so the Gryphons still have plenty to work on.  Good news for them they have scored over sixty in two games and no touchdowns given up by defense last night.  Jason Battle notches career victory number one.  Another compare score game was Bunn at Fike and Fike whips Bunn 20-13.  Conference foe Fike wins a close one at home over Bunn while Rocky Mount lost a relative close one to Bunn at home.

There is plenty of good news for Northern Nash.  The last few years they have struggled to score points but the first two games they have put up 20 and 35.  The 35 got them their first win of the season over Southern Wayne 35-22.

The old Geezer can still coach can't he.  Rocky Mount Academy lost 28-27  to Cary Christian as B W Holt has made the RMA a competitive team in less than a month's practice.

Rocky Mount Volleyball last 3-0 to D H Conley  Friday. We have been doing a lot of score comparing tonight and in the two matches Northern play against  the Conley Vikings Northern won two games and one game.

Friday night and all day today was spent watching volleyball at ECU.  Campbell beat ECU Friday night in five sets with a 17-15 win in the final set.  They lost to UNC Charlotte 0-3 this morning and beat Bethune Cookman 3-0 early this evening
