Waiting to Thursday this week to have the weekly Big East Cross Country run Rocky Mount pulled out first place at Nash Central. Northern ran short of three runners but still finished second after a sloppy course had postponed this week's race a day. Rocky Mount's Mason Holt wins again as he has won every Big East race so far this year. The girls race belonged to Fike and Michaela Williams of Nash Central was once again the girls winner.
The final regular season volleyball match of the year saw Northern Nash girls come to Rocky Mount and pin a loss on the Gryphons after the Gryphons had won earlier this year at Northern. Final score was 3 - 1 Northern. The Big East VB Tournament is next week.
Tonight Hunt and Rocky Mount jvs played three over times before Hunt scored on play 11 or 3rd down on their third possession of over time. Rocky Mount has 12 plays and failed to score. Hunt 26 Rocky Mount 20.
Let's start on the football. Perfect 6-0 last week looking to get into playoff prognostication form.
Anybody noticed that SouthWest Edgecombe is averaging 42 points a game in conference games. Friday they host North Pitt. Might not get forty but 35 should still win 35-16.
Nash Central has got to win this game when they travel to Fike. Both teams lost their conference openers and any hope of a home playoff game is out the door with another loss. Fike can score and for some reason the Bulldogs can't. Fike 26 Nash Central 20. By the way the 52 New Bern scored on the Bulldogs not so bad when you see that New Hanover gave up 63 last week to New Bern.
North Edgecombe needs a victory and Kipp Pride is up next on the schedule and to me that seems to be good medicine for the Warriors. 38-14 NE Warriors.
The next two weeks could be the whole season for the Tarboro Vikings. They host Kinston and SouthWest Edgecombe back to back. Kinston is only average this year and the only thing average about this Viking team is their defensive coordinator is out of action when a passing team comes to town. Kinston might scare the Vikes but will not score enough Tarboro 42 Kinston 34.
Time to pick the most confusing game of the week. Which Firebird team will show up. The one that fumbles six times a game or the one that protects the ball. Will Northern's offense be a factor. Northern needs points to win this one unless the Firebirds give the Knights a couple of easy scores. Southern Nash 27- Northern Nash 20
The battle for first place. These two both played SWE and both games were close. Rocky Mount needs to score in the second half of this game. Look for Hunt to go off tackle often until Rocky Mount shows it can stop the power running. The question for this game is Rocky Mount going to keep the ball away from Hunt like they did SWE. If so it's close if not Hunt. Hunt 35 Rocky Mount 14.
