Power Of The Dollar Bill

It is coming up on another Friday night and time for high school football,, Wait a minute no so tomorrow night as the national college football season kicks off on one of the many ESPN networks Friday night and the Wolfpack will be front and center.

Remember not that long ago when ECU played a Friday night home game on TV early in the state playoffs and high school coaches got so mad with ECU many of them banned the Pirate coaches from coming on their campus to recruit.  Those days are long gone.  The poor little high school can't compete with the money ESPN throws on the table to colleges so the ACC is on their only Friday night game this year.  The power of the all mighty dollars is so big that if ESPN told the ACC or any other league that they would pay to show a live game at 5am on a Tuesday morning someone would do it.  Have you forgotten  already that ESPN has that 24 hours of basketball so why not football too?

Yes it is high school time and Southern Nash hits the field Thursday night so here is this week's games.  I have been perfectly wrong one week and perfectly right the next but what does it add up to?  I still don't know how good or bad some of our teams are.

Southern Nash at Bunn:  Here we are with another compare score game as Bunn  is trying hard to get in the Big East with their third straight Big East game .  This is Bunn's first home game and I think the Firebirds give the Wildcats their third straight loss.  Southern Nash 28 Bunn 14

SouthWest Edgecombe is also preparing for a long holiday weekend as they Travel to Hunt tonight.  Hunt for many years has always played on Thursday when ever they had a home game on this weekend.  Hunt and SWE look a lot alike  but by the end of the game Hunt wins 28-20

The only game this week featuring two Twin County teams will go in Death Vally as Northern host Tarboro.  Tarboro seems to be same old Vikings which means real good.  Northern almost stunned the Vikes two years ago at Northern and probably should have won the game.  I doubt that happens this year  Tarboro 35 Northern 13


Nash Central travels to Roanoke Rapids where the Yellow Jackets have score 68 and 56 points in their first two games.Brand new football team RM Prep was the 68 and Weldon gave RR the 56.  There will not be 50 in Roanoke Rapids Friday but a good game.  Nash Central 34 RR26

Hertford County is 2-0 and has scored 79 in their first two outings.  Rocky Mount is 2-0 and gave up 40 in their two outings.  If you want to see scoring Rocky Mount will be the place where the question is how good is either team.  I have just flipped a coin and Hertford County wins 35  Rocky Mount 28.

North Edgecombe is taking the week off preparing for Tarboro next week.

Just heard from Randy Langley as I was blogging that tonight on theWRAL- Sports they honored   Dequavais Mann the Northern Nash Football player that is heading to Duke next year to play football.  Dequavias Mann this week's WRAL-TV Extra Effort Winner.  Go Knights!
