Odd Event At Northern

If you are a Northern Nash fan brace yourself for an event here we are in mid season that Northern hasn't had happen all season. A home football game will take place Friday night which will be the first home football game of the season. If you have forgotten how to get to the stadium as you drive into the school property turn left at the triangle and drive past the school buses on the right as you turn right past the buses that property on the left is the football field. Just a little fun here but Southern Vance will be the team providing the opposition and they both have played one common foe. They both have lost to Northeastern. SV lost at home 0-43 while Northern lost at Northeastern 45-0. Looks like a close game here but this is Northern's home opener and they will post their second win in a row. 26-18. The game of the weekend is SouthWest Edgecombe at Rocky Mount. In the last ten years this has been an even series. SWE was shutout by Tarboro and Rocky Mount played well losing to Rosé. I think RM is better at this point of the season but the key to this game will be SWE offensive line against the Gryphon defense. Gryphons 26 SWE 12. Hunt enjoyed driving all the way to Elizabeth City so much last weekend that they want to go there again and then drive 30 miles more in going to Curritck. Currituck is unbeaten but they are not in Hunt's league. Hunt 34 Curritck 6. Fike travels to Smithfield Selma and if they play to the level they have so far this is no game. Fike 44 SSS 16 RM Preps only football victory came at home to Kipp Pride 6-0. They can get another one again this time at KP who so far this year has scored 14 points and none against RMP. Prep 20 KP 6 Beddingfield continues it' run of playing everyone in the area. They come to Nash Central. I doubt the Bulldogs can score enough to stay up. Beddingfield 35 Nash Central 13. Roanoke Rapids comes to Tarboro and in years past this just might be a real game but not this year. Vikes. 35 RR 6 Ayden Grifton comes to Southern Nash. Much better game than you might expect but the Birds remain unbeaten. SN 40 AG 24. Word of GOD travels to Rocky Mount Academy and this could be a tricky game. I am going out on the limb and taking the Eagles 42-36 So far this year 29-6. There is a college game tonight involving the Wolfpack. State will either lose this game by 40 or win 17-16. Clemson put 62 on the Pack last year and Clemson this year is better. The question is, is State better? Clemson 49 N C State 20
