Football Is In High Gear

High school football is nearing the halfway point and some teams are surely setting themselves up to be contenders when conference play starts. Fike is the one team to me that to be 4-0 is the real shocker to this point. I picked them for last and their results so far say they are in the race till the end. HUNT may not be as strong as their undefeated past but but don't look past them when they appear on your schedule. They are as good as anybody and will be in it till the last week. Southern Nash can move the ball on any team in the league and when you can score you will be in every ball game. Injuries will determine how good their offense is. Rocky Mount has proven they can hold down good offenses. The offense has proven to be explosive. Any team that holds you to minimum points will have a chance. Rocky Mount probably has the best offense/defense of any team. They will be in till the end. Northern Nash has a new coach and it takes time to learn new ways and you can see that Northern is slowly coming round to the Randy Raper way. There are three more weeks until conference starts and if they continue to improve each week then they will be a bundle for anyone when conference starts. I thought in my preseason picks they would finish 5th and right Nash Central is headed there or worse. Thursday Clemson comes to Raleigh to play State. Clemson has looked like a world beater while State is not exactly setting the world on Fire. Just might be what the Pack needs national tv. The new look NFL with all of the wide open offenses it still being won by the teams that have the best quarterbacks. Right now there may not be a better quarterback in the NFL than Russell Wilson of the Seahawks. Wilson is not the so called run at every opportunity QB but runs when needed and the Seahawks defense just might be a Super Bowl contender.
