Another Week To Evaluate

Three weeks into the high school football season there is another week of non-conference games and there are a few that will really give us a good view of who has it and who is not quite there yet. Rose at Rocky Mount: Rose has dominated two 4-A schools and Nash Central in their first three games. Looking at Rocky Mount's schedule so far the only quality game on the schedule is Hertford County. The history of these two schools is when Rose is good the only time Rocky Mount wins is only when they have a super team. We will find out Friday where Rocky Mount is this year. They don't have to win but stay in the game. Tarboro travels to SouthWest Edgecombe: No longer a conference game this county rival game means more to the fans than what in means to winning championships. Tarboro is quick and small while the Cougars are their normal beast on the line and you can expect them to try to drive Tarboro into the dirt in Pinetops. Regardless of the outcome If Tarboro come out healthy they will be prepared to conference play. Nash Central travels to Hertford County which proved last week to an play with anybody. The Bulldogs can keep this one close then there is an improvement in the air for the Bulldogs. South Nash at Roanoke Rapids: If Southern Holds on to the ball this could be a game the clock runs constantly in the second half. Hunt At Northeastern: Hunt roller coaster ride this week travel to Elizabeth City and even though this is a 2-A-3A match up this is no give me for Hunt. Beddingfield at Fike: Another one of those means more to the fans but is is a big game for the future of both teams. Fike is much better than any one thought. Beddingfield can win this one. Not long till Friday night and we will get some answers.
