Rainy Function At The Junction

The game was put off because of Friday night weather but Monday was not much better and the show is on.  The home team took advantage in the first half to race out to a 21-6 lead but the Vikings score just before the half to make a 21-12 SouthWest Edgecombe lead.

The second half Tarboro fumbles inside their own ten yard line and gives the Cougars a 28-12 lead.  A poor snap by SWE results in a safety but in the battle of the unbeaten streak SouthWest Edgecombe is the 2015 Edgecombe County  champion. 28-14 over Tarboro.

There is no doubt Nash Central offense has improved drastically over the last few years.  Up to this point the Bulldog defense has not improved as much as the offense.  Tonight they had a tough foe and Bunn offense scores almost at will.  Bunn 77 Nash Central 37

Other Monday scores:

The Knights of Northern Nash have scored 73 points their last two games as they keep Smithfield Selma winless 35-7.

Fike 43 Corinth Holders 21. looks like Fike has found a defense knocking Holders to a one loss team
Hunt 21 Beddingfield 14. You want to compare scores?  Fike beat Beddingfield a couple weeks back 21-13.
Here's one I love DH Conley 37 Rose 14  wonder if Rose left their starters in this one to run up the score

Last year at this time Nash Central football player Houshun Gaines was making news declaring that he was accepting a football offer from University of Florida.  Florida burst his bubble by declaring no offer had been made.  One year later Gaines now at Virginia Tech is expected to be redshirted.  He wears number 41 and is listed at 6 feet 4 inches and 225.

Speaking of Virginia Tech it seems that the Hokies are going through the same events that both Florida State and  Penn State   Went through in when is it time for a legend coach to give up coaching.  Bobby Bowden at FSU and Joe Paterno at PSU both were duking it out as the all times wins leader in college football and both during their last five years or move no longer had their school as a major power.

Tech is faced with the same problem. Frank Beamer brought VA Tech  from the unknown and ten years in a row they won at least 10 games and Mike Vick led them to a National Championship game.  Florida ST, Penn ST and now Virginia Tech hates to be the school that looks ungrateful for the service that these legendary coaches obtained while at their school.

Beamer wants to retire on his time schedule but the Hokies look to be headed for another year of 6-6 or 7-5 season.  The last 25 years they have been better than that but not Any more.
