Off Week - Slim Schedule

Only three Local games in the area Friday night As all the public schools are off.  Went 7-2 in games last weekend to up my year's record to 39-8

SouthEast Halifax 1-4 at Rocky Mount Prep 1-2:  talk about a hard game to predict!  I think SE Halifax takes this one in another high scoring game SEHalifax 45 Prep 38

Kestrel Heights 6-0 at NE Carolina Prep 2-2. Should be all KH. 44-14

RMA 5-1 at Southampton Academy 4-0.  All nine wins between the two teams have been bottom feeders.  This starts the run as seedings  for the playoffs start and both these teams should finish high enough to host at least one home game.  Whether they get two or more will be in the hands of the winner. Southampton 38 RMA 35

Preseason the coaches voted Fike first, Southern Nash Second, Rocky Mount and Hunt third, Nash Central fifth and Northern Nash last.  Let's look and see where they probably will be after the first six non conference games.

Fike 4-2 Lost  the first two games and looked as if they didn't have any defense.  The last four weeks they found it.  Will be in the fight for first till the end.

Southern Nash 4-2.  Their power game does not look like the Firebirds of the past.  Defense maybe not quite as good either.  Probably sink to the 3rd/4th area but this is Big  East and they could be in the Hunt right to the end.

Rocky Mount 4-2. Who else can claim their two losses are Middle Creek and Rose and four solid wins.  Forest Bell as Gryphon quarterback could be best leader in Big East.  Gryphons will be in first place fight right to the end

Hunt 4-2.  They are not blowing people out but they probably have best defense in league.  Think by the end will be in the middle.

Nash Central 2-4 picked to win one conference game and break conference losing streak that goes back to 2012.  Offense improved but where is the D?  Think they will finish last which will be a major disappointment.

Northern Nash 2-4. First four games looked awful but have found offense the last two weeks.  They seem to be improving.  They will finish fifth or sneak in to the 3/4/5 slot.

Looks to me Fike and Rocky Mount are the top two but remember this is the Big East.
