Big East Report Card Halfway Point

Football hasn't played their first conference game yet while  all other sports have come to the halfway point and starting the second go round in conference games.  So far Northern Nash boys cross country team seems to be the class of the conference with  Steven Whitehead  as the top runner.  Rocky Mount's girls head the girls cross country with Barkley Browder the top 5k runner.

Hunt, Rocky Mount and Fike  seem to be a step ahead of the field in tennis.  Fike and Hunt are  the cream of the crop in soccer.  Hunt, Fike and Northern Nash head the field for the playoffs in Volleyball.

Before the first conference football game Hunt, Fike,Rocky Mount, Northern Nash  and Southern Nash  will be fighting and any one seems good enough to win the title and anyone could go 1-4.  Nash Central's defense is just good enough on the night their offense clicks somebody just might fall to them.  To say the least the Big East has the reputation of being the most balanced league in the east and it looks that way again this year.

Here's this week's college picks:
Clemson/Wake.   Tigers 38 Deacs22
BC/FSU. Not much of a game if FSU shows up 44-19
VA Tech/Georgia Tech. Forget this was Thursday you will have to take my word GT 24 VT17
Miami/SFLA The Hurricanes are back  35-16
C michigan/N C State if defense plays like the Clemson game they win big 31-13
Troy/Duke Devils had better be ready. Duke 41 Troy 28
N C Wesleyan/Averitt. battling Bishopswin their first 22/19
ECU/NC. This could really be a ball game.  This could go down to the last play. NC28-27
Rocky Mount is host to The Down East Football Classic When Elizabeth City Stat 0-3 play host to Fayetteville St 1-2.  I think ECSU gets in the win column with a 26-21 win.

Tonight I will be joining Edward  Green on WHIG TV for their game of the week.
