Three teams from the Big East unlike Tennis where only two teams get in the state playoffs begin the run in the North Carolina Volleyball state championship Saturday. Fike and Hunt are the power in the Big East and both draw home games Saturday.
Fike as the #8 seed in the east host Eden Morehead who is seeded 25th. Hunt the #2 from the Big East and the #15 seed will host Cleveland 18th seed.. Northern Nash as the # 3 representative from the Big East holds down the # 22 spot is traveling this weekend. They head to Cedar Ridge the #11 seed. If you have no idea where Cedar Ridge is it is in Hillsbourgh.
Did not realize until coming home tonight that Va Tech and Pitt play Thursday night football so we need to get these college picks going . Had a poor 5-4 record last week which runs me to 54-19 on the college circuit.
Virginia Tech at Pitt: Don't think this will be high scoring but the Gobblers win. 26-17
N C State heads to Louisville Saturday and early in the week you would say the Pack has a shot. Then you find out seven players are shooting b b guns and doing damage to personal property and half the defense will stay in Raleigh. I think I am going to have to do to the Pack like I am doing Nash Central. Until they prove to me they can beat somebody pick against them. Louisville 44- State 28
Georgia Tech at Carolina. Carolina might have a shot in this one since their worse part of the defense is pass coverage. Georgia Tech runs so that might be right at Carolina's strength. Oh yeah, I forgot wasn't it last year Tech laid 60 on the Tar Heels. Rambling Wreck 35 Carolina 31
The very best game of the day might be Virginia at Duke. This is a hard pick-em game. Both teams are better than anyone thinks. I think in Wallace Wade Duke is very good so I'm taking the Devils at home 31-26
U Conn at ECU. The lackluster play by the Pirates they have lost out on national media people who were looking at them to maybe a team that could sneak into then top ten with impressive wins over nobodys. Their just get by mode has lost them many polling votes and here comes another you had better beat the pants off U Conn if you want to get noticed. I think they win but the Huskies keep their pants on 36-21
Syracuse at Wake Forest. This is the kind of game that the Deacons history they win. I think they will again. WF 24 Syracuse 21.
Notre Dame at Florida State. If Winston plays no contest, if he doesn't The Irish win. So I'm making two picks here . FSU with Winston 44 Notre Dame 28 Without 24-23 Irish.
Clemson at BC. Is the Clemson QB hurt? If he is BC just might win this one but I'll go with the Tigers 35-27
Finally the Todd Gurley Heisman watch will end if he doesn't play this week. Gurly is practicing but no commitment on being able to play. Without Gurly Arkansas wins with Gurley Georgia Wins. I have a feeling Georgia will let Gurley play Saturday.

Fighting Eliminates Two From State Playoffs
This past Friday night during a football game between Trask a 1-A school on the Southeast coast and West Bladen a fight broke out and a 22 minute delay occurred while the referees sorted out the mess. Four players from Trash were thrown out of the game along with three from West Bladen.
This week the NCHSAA sent both schools letters informing them by rule that they are ineligible for the state football playoffs since both have had at least three players thrown out of games this season. Trask at 2-5 and West Bladen at 5-2 can start basketball practice after their 11th game. By the way WB won the game 46-24.
Rocky Mount girls tennis team knows that they will play Topsoil next Tuesday in Rocky Mount in the second round of the Duel Women's tennis championships. Rain force many first round matches to Wednesday including Hunt who knock off once beaten C B Aycock and advance to round two. More than likely they will play Cardinal Gibbons.
Last week went 6-1 on my high school picks which runs my guess record for the year to 51-11 . If you thought last week's games were great look at what's up and coming Friday. Scheduling when you only have five conference games is critical when you might be having to play three on the road and only two home conference games. It is vital regardless of who you are you must win on your home turf. How big is home field. Nash Central was the only home loser last week. Hunt and Northern Nash are the contenders playing at home against other contenders who need to protect home field this Friday.
Rocky Mount @ Hunt: Hunt got all they wanted from Northern Last week and coming to Wilson County is Rocky Mount. Both are tied for first and for one they will still be no worse than tied for first. The Gryphons must show me that they got their heads right because they can't give Hunt extra downs or short fields with penalties. Hunt 27- Rocky Mount 21
In Death Valley Northern right now tied for last can't afford a 0-2 start play Southern the team that popped previously unbeaten Fike. Teams tend to play better at home and Northern didn't play that badly on the road at Hunt last week. Northern drops another to the one loss column as they beat Southern 31-28
Fike is probably boiling mad and they have the perfect team to take out their anger on in Nash Central. Suspect by the fourth quarter the clocking is running in this one. Fike 56- NC 7
Last week RMA handled Parrot and earlier this year Parrot beat Southampton at Southampton. RMA beat Parrot at Parrot so I would assume they can beat Southampton in Rocky Mount . RMA 56 Southampton 38.
SouthWest Edgecombe travels to Washington who seems down somewhat this year. The Cougars got a roll going and it continues SWE 36 Washington 21
North Edgecombe host Riverside Martin. I think the Warriors will play Tarboro the last game of the season for the conference championship. NE 26 Riverside 18
Rocky Mount Prep is at Tarboro. Tarboro rolled last week and I see nothing slowing their roll down hill. The Vikings 52 RM Prep 8.
