Eagles Go For Two Straight

The Rocky Mount Academy Eagles go after their second straight NC eight man football title Friday and in the process go after their first ever undefeated season in Eagle History.  Arendell Parrott  Academy a team they have already beaten by 18 earlier this year in Kinston stands in RMA's way for their second straight title.

This will not be an easy game by any means.  If the Eagles are not ready from the get go in this one Parrott could easily pull the upset.  Expect a large crowd again this year as there is no Rocky Mount school at home this weekend so many will be out in force like last year supporting the Eagles and the newly named Bishops Stadium..  Eagles will get the job done 54-34.

Rocky Mount Prep the #15 seed in 1-A travels to SE Halifax who holds down the #2 seed and have already dispose of the Jags once this year 58-8.  Might not be as bad as earlier but a loss for Prep.  SEH 49 RMP 16

North Edgecombe has demonstrated this year that they are very capable of going deep into the 1-A playoffs and since Tarboro is 1-AA they very well might.  # 12 seed Kestrel Heights out of Durham will take on the #5 seed Warriors and North Edgecombe will advance 33-12

Tarboro the # three seed in 1-AA host Hobbton who in most years is near the top of the bracket not the bottom.  Hobbton is a 14 seed having won but twice and I see no way they get number three.  The Vikings win going away 38-13

SouthWest Edgecombe has proven to be well tested as they have played four other area teams in the Twin Counties who are seeded high in their playoff bracket.  Cougars are a 6 seed hosting the #11 North Brunswick.  By night's end the Cougars will play another Friday.  44-21

In the why do we have to do this game Hunt #15 travels to Fike #2.  Hunt lost by 30 at home to Fike last week but we switch sites this week and the score will not be as bad but Fike still wins. 35-20

Southern Nash the Big East champs and a four seed host #13 Burlington Williams.  The trick for the Firebirds and hold on to the ball and they can beat almost anybody.  Put it on the ground two or three times they may finish up on Friday.  Firebirds advance 28-14.

The Rocky Mount Gryphons a nine seed has to hit the road to eight seed Western Alamance a place where it is easy for Gryphons to find having  played a 3rd and 4th round playoff games there in last seven years.  7-4 and just maybe could have been 9-2 with less talk on the field.  This game just might be another great one between these two programs.  It would be something if this Gryphon team could beat WA after two far superior teams couldn't.   Western Alamance  27 Rocky Mount 17.

Had a 7-0 week last week in picking the final week of the high school season.  As we head to the playoffs now stand at 71-20.
