Football Friday From Kentucky

Tonight the Doughtie's are in Morehead Kentucky where Campbell volleyball won their 7th game of the season which equals their win total for all of last year. They stand at 7-2 which is the 2nd best start in Campbell history. To Day visited Keeneland Farms in Lexington where they were having a horse sale. Morehead is in the mountains of eastern Kentucky about 60 miles from Lexington. Here is what I know from all my friends who have kept me up with the scores. Rose 21. Rocky Mount 7. Tied at 7 at the half Rose scores twice in the second half for the win. Despite the loss this is a good effort by the Gryphons. Tarboro 14-0 over SouthWest Edgecombe. In my predictions I got the Tarboro score right but missed SWE by 40. Southern Nash 52 Roanoke Rapids 27. At one point the score was 42-7 in the second quarter. Thank you FIrebirds for calling off the dogs in the second half. Hertford County 14 Nash Central 7. Nash Central must be the best 0-4 team in the state. Hunt 28. Northeastern 16. Hunt took control of this one in the second half. Rocky Academy 52 St David's 7. Think I hit that game on the head but I'll have to look it up when I get back. The Last word I saw Fike was on the verge of beating Beddingfield. Finally The Knights have got their first one. Playing their 4th game of their four game road trip to start the season the Knights win at Warren County 21-8. now let's see what they can do in front of the home folks next week.

Tech visits The Pirates

North Carolina and NC State both are off Saturday so it cuts down on the number of games to pick from. The Hokies of Virginia Tech make a visit to ECU and don't you know Pirate Nation will be on fire come Saturday. After the season the Gobblers had last year this is not a team that you would expect Tech to be. Don't care who they are or what they are right now they bring the label ACC and just the name Virginia Tech is enough To say we beat Tech fifty years from now. Can this Pirate team win Saturday? Yes it but will they. Tech defense did plenty against Alabama so I suspect they will be hard for the Pirate to run up and down the field. The big question on this game is can the Pirate defense do enough to slow down and average Tech Offense. I doubt it Tech 23 ECU 20 Georgia Tech at DUKE Gone is Duke's Starting QB but is this a major problem or not. I think Duke's problem is slowing down Georgia Tech enough to get their offense on the field. If Duke causes turn overs they have a chance but if Techjust keeps hanging on to the ball for long drives it will be a long day. Tech 34 Duke 24 Wake Forest plays one of those teams from Louisiana with a - in their name Monroe. Look Wake couldn't beat BC last week then why do we think they can win Saturday. The only reason I can think of is they play home. Wake 34 UL-M 30 Charleston Southern at Campbell. Campbell won it's first game for Mike Minter last week but CS 2-0 will not let CU win again. CS. 34 Campbell 24 Virginia Southern at NC W. WEsleyan played well last week and and this week they play home back at the Sports Complex. if it worked for Rocky Mount Prep it will work for NCW too. NCW 27 VS 13. Alabama at Texax A&M. I don'T think Bama will be number one at the end. I don't see where Johnnie football is a Heisman winner either. This will be a close game but Bama wins 24-17. Campbell Volleyball is in a tournament in Morehead Kentucky and that is where we are right now. Need all the help anyone can give me on the high school football scores tonight. THANKS
