Can We Judge The First Two Weeks?

Last week on high school picks I was 8-2 giving me a 13-3 record so far this year.  Non-conference games are hard to judge since their is no history on the season to decide whether it was a good win or bad loss or neither.  Let's take a look at where the first two weeks lead us.

Rocky Mount :2-0 beat Webb and South Granville.  Friday SG handled Chapel Hill and the previous week Webb beat Granville Central who wiped the floor with Rocky Mount Prep last Friday.  Sure will get a good idea about the Gryphons after this Friday against Hertford County who upset Hunt 21-15 and stopped the Warriors 22 game regular season win streak.

Hunt: 1-1 Beat South Central opening week and SC lost 46-50 to West Craven this past Friday. Hard to tell at this point about the Warriors but this Friday's RM/HC game will give everyone a chance to compare scores since HC will have visited both in two weeks.

Tarboro:  1-1  If I had to say right this minute the Vikes are not as good as they have been the last five years.  Smaller hurts them against big burly teams.  Won't see many more (Southern Nash) until playoffs. Because of their size they need to stay healthy for the playoffs in 1-A.

SouthWest Edgecombe:  1-1 Gave Southern Nash a tussle and destroyed North Edgecombe.  I think the Southern Nash game was worth the thought that the Cougars are a real contender in the Eastern Plains.

Southern Nash:2-0  I think they will go as far as their health will take them.  Right now already reaching into the JV's for running backs.  Has several break-a-way runs but no touchdowns as I saw no barn burning running backs.  If some of the running backs get back and the line stays healthy they will be near the top.

Northern Nash: 0-2  I don't know whether any one thought they would be any better than 1-1 now but Cornith Holders had a big win over 4-A Clayton last Friday.  The score at Northeastern concerns me  and Tarboro this week.

Nash Central: 0-2  I picked them fifth in Big East this year and the way the first two games have started they are right on schedule.

Fike: 2-0:Picked them last in Big East but victories over Bunn an ok team but Roanoke Rapids who is down and out this year.  will know more about fike at this week's game with Kinston.

Rocky Mount Academy:1-0  Will have a winning season this year and will give the big boys a run for their money.

Rocky Mount Prep: 1-1  Just might win another one for the year is over.

North Edgecombe: 1-1  Should make playoffs but conference championship with Tarboro in conference is out of the question.
