High School Football Approaches Mid Season

Nitty Gritty time as we have two games this week in the area that will be as big as any in state.  Other teams will find out how good they really are as the tempo picks up

Rose 2-1  @ Rocky Mount 3-1:  Rose is averaging 61 points per game, however they have given up at least 42 every time out.  Rocky Mount scored 21 on Middle Creek who looks like a beast since the Rocky Mount game.  This may be a game of triple digits scored between the two.  History tells us this will be game that will give Gryphon fans a true read on this year's Gryphons.  Rose 38 Rocky Mount 30.  To me any thing closer or victory is good news for the blue and gold for the remainder of the season.

Southern Nash 3-1 @ Tarboro 4-0.  No disrespect here for the Southern Loss at South Johnston.  Get there early or game could be over by 9:15 with all the runs in this one.  Southern Nash just a little bit better than the Vikings. Southern  Nash 28 Tarboro 22.

Nash Central 1-3 @ Beddingfield 1-3:  This will be a game in which the Bulldogs can judge a common conference foe after Fike beat Beddingfield 21-13 last week.  The Bulldogs have a shot in this one but this is a road game. Nash Central 26 Beddingfield 21

Goldsboro 3-1 @ Northern Nash 0-4.  The Knights really need a win.  Goldsboro has been surprising so far but questionable the quality of wins.  Northern will need to win one before I can's pick'em until they show me something.  Goldsboro 27 Northern 20.

RMA 3-1 @ Hobgood 0-3:  Don't care where this one is played the Eagles may get 60.  RMA 58 Hobgood 12

Kestrel Heights 3-0 @ RM Prep 0-2:  KH should take this one 38-12

Weldon 0-3  @North Edgecombe 2-1:  Too much Warriors !  NE 35 Weldon 6

Bertie 2-1 @ SouthWest Edgecombe 4-0:  Would like SWE to clean up a couple of areas in  this game they had better be ready for the Falcons.   Cougars 36 Bertie 22

North East Carolina 2-0 @ South Creek 3-1:  Don't think the two wins for NECP add up to three wins this week.  South Creek 35 NECP 14

26-3 after four weeks but this is a good week of several games that could go either way.
