Last Chance To Prepare For Conference

Last week went 7-2 for the second week in a row to run my over all record for this high school now stands at 35-10.  Several teams need to get themselves in order while several just need to refine what is working.  Limited schedule this week as both Tarboro and SouthWest Edgecombe are off

Rocky Mount@Triton:  Two years ago when these two signed to play each other both needed each other for a quality non conference game.  Not this year as Triton is winless and after what Rocky Mount has faced the last two weeks they need to play a quality team to get their house in order. A romp will not do them any good.  If this one is close then Rocky Mount has big problems.  Gryphons 35 Triton 13

Rocky Mount Prep@ SE HAlifax:  Two wins on the season but three will not come this week as SEH will host and take down the Jags.  SEH 32 Prep 16

Northern Nash @Smithfield Selma:  I like it when conference foes take on the same teams that others have played. Last week Fike played SSS and this week Northern.  I think Northern gets settle for conference with another big win.  Northern 44 SSS 13

Beddingfield @Hunt:  This  is big one in Wilson County.  So far Hunt hasn't played to the level we consider Hunt like while Beddingfield lost by 25 to Fike.  This will be closer.  Hunt 26 Beddingfield 20.

Nash Central @ Hillside:  Hillside has been picked to be one of the best in 4-A the last two years and they have never quite gotten to that level of superior.  Despite that they are plenty good to handle Nash Central who has proven to be a bottom feeder again this year.  Hillside 52-Nash Central 20

South Johnston @Fike:  Not close at all Fike 53 SJ14

Lawrence Academy @ RMA : The Eagles soar again as they take down the visitors from Bertie County.  49-14.

Just about all the Big East teams will be off next week as two weeks the conference plays starts for them.  As far as the Big East is concerned looks like Fike is the team to beat as thought and Hunt and Northern chasing close behind.  Question marks remain about Rocky Mount and Southern while Nash Central needs to have something good to happen to them
