Hitch Up Your Britches It's Conference Time

There will be no bigger game played anywhere Friday night than the one right close to the airport in Kinston.  Undefeated Arendell Parrott Academy  6-0 will host Rocky Mount Academy 6-0.  They have just about played the same teams and they have whipped everybody by about the same score.  RMA is averaging about 54 per game while APA 41.  Both have been begrudging on defense RMA about 11 per game while APA 14.  This is a toughie but here's what I think.  RMA could have score a lot more in many games and their roster near 25 players all have had plenty of playing time.  It be close one 46-38 RMA.

The game of the week in The Big East sends Northern Nash 4-2 and Randy Raper back to his old stomping grounds for the first time to Hunt 3-3.  Talk about a toss up game but emotions will be high on both side lines.  I want to pull the trigger for Northern then I think about it some more and then I think Hunt and I think about it some more.  Hunt 28- Northern 27

North Edgecombe 4-2  at Rocky Mount Prep 2-3.  The Warriors will control this one 34-16.  This is one of the better Warrior teams since the departure of Raymond Cobb. 

North Pitt 2-4 at SouthWest Edgecombe 4-2  This might be a better game that the records would indicate but  the Cougars will win it 36 - 24

Fike 6-0 at Southern Nash 3-3:  Fike's favored but they had better not be thinking about their record or this could be a trap game.  Southern holds on to the ball and this could be a dandy.  Fike 42- Firebirds 28.

North Johnston 1-5 at Beddingfield3-3  Every body that has beaten the Bruins have been real good.  North Johnston does not fit that category and this one is all Beddingfield.  38-13

Tarboro 3-3   At South Creek 3-3.  Not sure about how healthy  the Vikings are after the schedule they have played but I think you will see what playing tough teams can do for you when you hit conference and nobody is as tough as you have already played.  Vikes  42- South Creek 14

Rocky Mount 4-2 at Nash Central 0-6.  Rocky Mount had better  be in the right frame of mind getting off the bus  in Bulldog land.  The last three years they have beaten  Central 10-3-  13-6 and 24-16.  really pushed them around haven't they.  Seems like for Central this is their last chance for a win this year against a team they play close all the time.  Gryphons 20- Nash Central 6

Campbell Volleyball is playing conference games in Lynchburg Va Friday and Radford on Saturday.  The Doughtie's are about tripped out for a while and plan to go to The Rocky Mount- Nash Central game.
