Fike - Hunt Sits On Top

Nash Central has it's biggest offensive output of the year but they come up short to The Golden Demons of Fike who remain undefeated after two weeks of conference and beat Nash Central 33 to 15. Fike lead 20-15 in the third quarter before they motored away. If I told you both Hunt and Rocky Mount would have six each you would have thought that that might be the score late in the game but it was actually turnovers as neither team acted like a championship team but Hunt busted the Gryphons bubble in the third quarter scoring almost at will and race off to a 48-31 victory to grab their share of first place after two weeks. Northern Nash once again plays great and this time it is almost all the way to the end but Southern Nash scores with less than a minute to play to break the hearts of Northern Nash 15-14. Northern has given up 29 points in two conference losses while Hunt gives up 31 in one game,yet Hunt is 2-0 and Northern is 0-2. As expected Tarboro wipes Rocky Mount Prep away winning 78-14. North Edgecombe gets wallopped by Riverside of Williamston 56-14 and a vital 2-A conference game Washington hands SouthWest Edgecombe their first conference loss 27-14. Eight man football I think when the good teams play each other you can tell the better teams from the other because those really good teams can keep the other team from scoring. Rocky Mount Academy gives up only 34 points which is outstanding in Private school football but Southampton Academy holds the Eagles to just 8 and the game of the year in Private school football in this area goes to the team from Virginia 34-8.
