Top Four Teams Collide

Week three of the Big East football season finds the two unbeaten teams facing off with the two teams that have one loss.  In a league where almost anybody can beat anybody there is a chance for a four way time at 2-1 in the league after Friday. Might happen, might not.  Last week was a poor 4-3 on the week running my record for the year on high school picks 55-14.  Having a hard time getting a handle on all these teams in Big East this year.

The folks at Rocky Mount get a chance to sit in the home stands for the first time this year(seems like) as they host Fike.  Here we go again.  In two wins Rocky Mount has given up only 14 points while Fike has scored 81.  On the other side of the ball Rocky Mount has scored 74 while Fike has given up 68.  Have a feeling this will be high scoring but the Gryphons will score more.  Rocky Mount 35- Fike 28.

The folks over at Southern Nash are gitty after the way the last three  weeks have unfolded.  The Hunt folks are nervous.  4-4 and coming off a home loss and a conference loss.  You know most of the time when streaks stop you lose more than once right after.  Southern Nash 41 Hunt 21

The folks over at Northern are wondering what in the world they need to do to win a game.  Rolling along fine and all of a sudden 0-2 in conference.  The folks over at Nash Central are wishing for a win.  As far as Northern is concern this week is a good week with Nash Central coming.  They just don't need to fall asleep before the game starts and they will have a victory under their Belt.  Northern 42- NC 7

Rocky Mount Academy seeks and undefeated season as they make the trip to Cary Christian Academy who comes into the game 3-5.  I think all the Eagles need to do is listen to Coach Holt and get on the bus ready to play.  RMA  66  Cary 20.  If they win I think it is the Eagles first undefeated season?

Oh boy is there going to be a good one at Pinetops this week.  Once beaten Farmville at SouthWest Edgecombe.  Both have lost to Washington in close games.  There are just certain teams when they are good they are good for North Carolina High school football.  Farmville is one of those schools much like Tarboro,  Richmond County etc.  Farmville in a close one 22-19.

North Edgecombe  travels to Conway to take on Northampton County who has a 2-6 record.  The Warriors should win with ease.  26-12.

ECU goes prime time tonight and a chance to show the national audience what they are.  U Conn travels to Dowdy-Ficklin and the next three games for the Pirates all can be seen on one or the other of the ESPN channels besides 3.  Tonight on ESPNU I think the Pirates play to impress.  ECU 45 Huskies 27

Thursday night football tonight is loaded with good games.  Chargers at Broncos, Pirate on the U and over on ESPN Miami visits Virginia Tech.  I have  about had all the pickings I'm going to do on VT rest of the season.  Miami 33 Tech 24 Start packing coach Beamer.

The Lady Gryphons tennis team will play undefeated Terry Sanford Monday in round three of the State Duel tennis Tournament.  Hunt season ended on Tuesday when they were beaten 5-1.  The Lady Gryphons are the only Big East still alive.

Fike the #2 seed in Big East soccer beat Northern Nash 3-2 Tuesday night while #1 Hunt took care of Southern Nash 5-0 to knock both Nash County teams of  the Big East tournament
