Labor Day Weekend Football Starts Tonight For Some

We have made it all the way to the third weekend of high school football and trends are happening.  For some not good trends but for others the future is bright.. So far the first two weeks have gone 13-1 picks.  I missed the Tarboro game which I thought would be close but wasn't as The Vikings romped.  Did pick the Nash Central losing streak to end.

Nash Central has a shot at two in a row as the coaching theme has been one is not enough.  The Bulldogs are headed to Micro to take on North Johnston.  Bulldogs will be 2-1 36-18.

Rocky Mount could be 2-0 but head east to Ahoskie 1-1.  Hertford County will defend the home turf 1-1 after a big win over Gates Co and and extremely close game at Hunt.  Seems as if the Bears might be back after being down a couple of years.  If RM heads east expecting and easy one they could be in trouble.  I think The Gryphons have too much talent. 35-20 over HC

Oh boy, already 0-2 Northern Nash has a trip to Tarboro to take on the Vikings who are coming off a stomping administered to Washington.  This point Northern has not shown any ability to beat Anybody including Tarboro.  Vikes 40 Northern Nash 14

The Thursday night special has Bunn at Southern Nash. Bunn lost by only one to Fike opening night. Put 70 on NW Halifax last week.  This one scares me.  The Firebirds had better cut out the turnovers
Or else.  I think the Firebirds win a close one 34-28

SouthWest Edgecombe takes on South Central who so far this year everybody is clobbering.  This is a 4-A team and this might be a close one.  Cougars 26 South Central 20.

Northeast Prep travels to Rocky Mount Prep.  The Jags will probably win their second game this year which puts them on cusp of the most wins in any year since started playing football.  RMP 32- NE Prep 14.

Grace Christian at Rocky Mount Academy.  Grace is 0-2 but are having a hard time scoring.  Defense has played well but in this game they must out score the Eagles.  Eagles 45-6.

The college football season starts tonight in Charlotte when the battle of the Carolina's take place.  Surprising this game is not a sellout.  Must be that the die hard fans don't believe there teams are that good this year.  Hard one to pick but for my money The Tar Heels much prove to me they can stop somebody before I'll pick'em.   South 34 North 24.

Duke at Tulane:  I don't think Duke will be as good as last two years but they win tonight 27-17
Elon At Wake Forest:  Deacs need this one 24-17
Alcorn at Georgia Tech:  Is there a 40 point start the clock rule for this one.  56-16 Techsters

RMA - GRACE could be really ugly with RMA potentially putting up a 70-0 (or greater romp). GRACE in it's first year of varsity pretty much has all sophomores and juniors with no size or athletic skill. GRACE should have played another year as JV.
