Week Four Of High School Football

Ok after an 0-6 start on the season and I have the flow of what to expect from the teams in the Twin County area and  after a 6-0 and 5-1 week I am up to 11-7 on the season.  As they say it is not how you start but how  you finish so let's jump in to this weeks games head first.There are only five this week since two games are between Twin County teams.* I have been reminded that my 0-6 is now 1-5 with Bunn's Forfeit to Rocky Mount which would change my over all to 12-6.

North Edgecombe Tarboro:  Keep hearing all these rumors that with shrinking schools size of both Tarboro and North Edgecombe may be consolidated in the future and if that happens this game will not last fore ever.  It is truly a bigger game for the Warriors and they would love to beat one of their other county foes but it will not happen Friday. Tarboro 48 NE13

Rocky Mount at SouthWest Edgecombe.  This will be the game that really gives us a glimpse of what the Rocky Mount Gryphons are this year.  They don't have to win this game but a game that they are in till the end will really tell us this is a better football.  SWE will run up the gut and the Gryphons are small there.  The Gryphon offense has to keep the ball out of the Cougars hands as much as possible.  SWE 28 Rocky Mount 20.

Northern Nash @  South Central:   This is a very winnable game for the Knights.  NN showed offensive punch against Tarboro and if that same punch shows up Friday they will win. The Knights defense needs to improve over last week's showing with Tarboro but of course this was Tarboro who scores on everybody NN 26 South Central 18

Roanoke Rapids @ Southern Nash:  Last week the Yellow Jackets stepped up to big boy football when Nash Central ran away with a 33-7 win.  RR is on the road  and this one may not be pretty at all.  If Southern Nash holds on to the ball they could get 50.  If they don't give away some easy scores for the Yellow Jackets this one could be real ugly.  Southern Nash 48 RR 7

Hertford County at Nash Central:  Here we are with a compare game again.  Rocky Mount just played   HC and now Nash Central gets their shot.  I thought HC had a pretty good football team until conditioning gave RM control last week.  If HC is not in better shape this week they will be out of this one by the end of the 3rd quarter.  I think the Bulldogs have too much speed and are bigger than the Gryphons so they match up better on the line against HC.  Nash Central 35  Hertford County 14
