First Round Of The Playoffs

Had a very good final week of the high school regular season and eight man playoffs going 10-1 running my record for the year to 75-15.  Lot of locals in action Friday so we need to get going.

3A

Walter Williams 5-6 @ Rocky Mount 9-2:  The last home Rocky Mount playoff game was Jason Battle's first playoff game as Rocky Mount coach and the Gryphons laid and egg.  They have taken advancing steps winning on road last year.  This Gryphons team handled tragedy and Northern all the same day.  Gryphons  will advance 35-14 at home.

Southern Nash 8-3 @ West Craven 9-1:  What a first round game for a team that finished second in conference play.  This should be a knock down and drag out affair.  I just can't make up my mind in this one.  Havelock is the only team to beat the Eagles.  West Craven 28-26.

Fike 6-5 @ Topsoil 5-6:  this is a real chance for Fike if the play some defense.  Fike 35 Topsail 28.

3AA
Lee County 8-3 @ Hunt 8-3: if the Big East is to say this was a great playoff for the conference Hunt has to win this game.  Hunt 31- Lee County 23.

2A

Farmville Central 5-6 @ SouthWest Edgecombe 10-1.  Ridiculous two conference members have to play first round.  SWE won the first time they will win the second time around 42-14.

South Granville 4-7 @ Beddingffield 6-5:  Beddingfield holds serve. 32-13

1AA

Hiede Trask 2-9 @ Tarboro 10-1:  Trask coming all the way from Rocky Point to get pummeled
Vikings 48 Trask 6

1A

North Edgecombe 5-5 @ Pamlico 5-5:  Did a playoff game between NE and  Pamlico way back in 1999 on WHIG.  Small  Pressbox and stood on top in the pouring rain in second half.  Love to do stats during game but paper was so wet could not.  If I remember this was a third round game after the Warriors won the title in 98?  This year Warriors are beat up.  Expect same results as 99.  Pamlico 28 Warriors 19.
