Just about every public high school team has played three games so far and we have hit the 30% of the season is over and we should be able to make some type of reasonable assumptions where every team stands.
Tarboro: Must be loaded again as they have played three 3-A teams and are 3-0. Defense looks suspect at this point but I believe the level of competition has plenty to do with that. They have scored over 120 points in three games. How far they go this year toward five playoffs games will rest in the hands of a defense that will improve as the schedule includes schools in 2-A and 1-A.
SouthWest Edgecombe: 1-2. Both losses have come from Hunt and Southern Nash. They just might have an answer for Tarboro when conference time comes.
North Edgecombe: They can play with any body in their level. Over matched against County foes SWE and Tarboro.
Southern Nash: They have reloaded nicely after having lost their entire running back corp from last year. 3-0 so far and look to challenge Hunt for conference title.
Rocky Mount: 3-0 (2-1)What a difference a year makes in attitude alone. The line is small on both sides of the ball and when Rocky Mount hits the meat of conference schedule will find it hard to win against power teams like Hunt, Nash Central, Southern Nash. Can't stand for the injury bug to dig any deeper than it already is.
Northern Nash: 1-2 Offense has improved over last year. If there is one team that could move up toward the top it might be the Knights. Most experts pegged the Knights 4th or 5th in preseason. I could see third if the cards fall their way.
Nash Central: 2-1 No shame what so ever in their lone loss coming from Tarboro. Seems as if Nash Central is on door step again this year. Lost twice to Hunt last year. Tarboro is the same mold as Hunt in this way, one of those teams that the Bulldogs must beat not just lose a close one. It is step up time for them.
Rocky Mount Academy: B W Holt's six years in Rocky Mount he averaged 38 points a game. His first two games in eight man football the Eagles have scored 32. The man can coach offense. If the Eagles figure out how to slow down the other team they are going to be dangerous for somebody. No longer an automatic win when you play RMA.
Fike:1-2 Sure can score points. Their problem the other teams seems to be able to score more.
Hunt: 3-0 Not quite as good as last year but they are the team to beat. Defense is suspect.
Get my first chance in the PA booth Thursday night as Rocky Mount jv's play their first home game.
