The Old Dog Can Still Bite

Tarboro fresh off one of their worse losses in a decade bounced back Friday night with  a 20-7 over Northern Nash.  Tarboro goes to 2-1 while the Knights lose their second in a row and fall to 1-2.  Tarboro's defense shutout the Knights in the second after a 7-7 tie in the first half.

Rocky Mount had 20 points on the board before half the crowd there had a chance to sit down and from there coasted to a 55-0 win over Hertford County.   Another night of big play football for the Gryphons and the defense pitches another shutout.  Rocky Mount improves to 3-0 while HC falls to 0-3.

When you have struggled to score the way Nash  Central has all year it is hard to come from behind when Rose high runs back the opening kickoff.  That six points was all the Rampants needed but they got plenty more in dumping The Bulldogs 51-0.

I thought this was going to be a close game and it turned out to be as Bunn out scores Southern Nash 31-27.  It is Bunn's second straight win while the Firebirds lose for the second straight game.

Hunt made the trip to Wilmington and almost pulled off a big one but came up short as the Warriors lose to New Hanover 36-32.

North Edgecombe tough last week with cross county rival SWE but  down south in Princton  they are no match for Princton as the Warriors lose 43-13

RMA got Hobgood again after scoring 72 on on the Eagles during last season regular season game.  Revenge came during last year's playoff win and on Friday more Eagles.  52-20 over Hobgood.

SouthWest Edgecombe out scores Greene Central 38-28.

Fike gets a test from Kinston but they remain unbeaten 21-12 over Kinston.

Beddingfield put 20 on the board against Pinecrest but they had a hard time holding down Pinecrest as they score 45.

Things to ponder:  Northern having a hard time moving the ball.  The Bulldogs move it even less.  Rocky Mount is 3-0 but there opponents so far are 3-6.  Next week we will know about Rocky Mount.  They are 1-2 but don 't sleep on Hunt.  Southern needs some defense.  SWE is not blowing away people they probably should.  Tarboro will be ok come November.
