Slim Schedule This Friday

There are only a couple of high school games on the schedule this week but boy is one of them the game of the year or what?

Little bitty Tarboro Vikings 4-1 will play host to Southern Nash 5-0 the preseason Big East 3-A
favorites and they have done nothing to make any one think they can't win the Big East.  Don't feel sorry for the five straight 2-A finalist Vikes.   Already having beaten two Big East teams and with almost every other school in the area off expect an over flow crowd.  This game has all the makings of the best game of the year.  Tarboro in beating Northern and Nash Central had trouble moving the ball.  I would suspect that will prevail again in this one.  Frankly I don't expect Southern to score much either.  SN 20 Tarboro 14 .

SouthWest Edgecombe who took last week off heads to the beach as they take on East Carteret.   SWE has played one of the toughest schdules in the area needs together back on the winning trail.  I think they will. SWE 26 East Carteret 14.

The final game in the area has Rocky Mount Academy heading to Lasker.   Those who don't know the area and if you hear someone from that area say where they are from everyone thinks they said  Alaska.  That part of Northampton County has several big time names like Milwaukee.  Northeast Academy sits right beside Valley Pine Golf Club.  Interesting that Chris Daughtry who's grand parents live just down the road from the school actually did a concert on the baseball field right after he was on American Idle since my step mother lives a half mile down the road the Doughtie's were there for that.  I think Northeast is having their best football season in years but I think RMA is on a mission. RMA 52 NEA 12.

After last week   7-1 my over all guessing runs my record to  43-8 .

Finally The East/West All Star football which is sponsored by the NC Coaches Association will be returning to Grimsley High in Greensboro where the all star game has been played every year since  1949 until last year.  Grimsey had summer construction going on and the game in 2013 was played in High Point.
