You have to give the Eagles of RMA a lot of credit having had two games forfeited and a week off so they haven't played a game in a month. Tonight they traveled to Kinston to take on Arendell Parrott the defending state champs who will be a test for a team that hasn't played in a month.
When the mud had been slopped through the Eagles of Rocky Mount Academy score a touchdown in each of the first three quarters to take a 20 to zero lead and just maybe not playing in a month shows up in the fourth quarter as Parrott puts on a 4th quarter rally scoring twice on passes to cut the lead to 20-12. But when needed The Eagles put on a drive and get a field goal late and hold off Parrott 23-12. The Eagles are 6-0 and 2-0 in conference.
Saturday North Carolina Wesleyan Battling Bishops will have their second home game of the season. It is mighty hard to have any better first two home games as the Bishops will have. Their opener they played the top team in all Division three football in Mount Union. Today they will play the team favored to win the conference USA South Huntingdon.
So far this season Huntingdon has a 3-0 record. They just might not have a very good defense because in their three games to date they are giving up almost 34 points per game. The problem the Bishops face is Huntingdon is scoring 55 per contest. The game starts at 1pm at the sports complex.
A couple weeks back many high school teams had to alter their schedules to try to beat the tropical storm that passed. Tarboro and Northern Nash were rained out on Friday night and decided to play ten days later causing three games in eight days for both.
Hunt had their game washed out on that Friday and washed out again that Monday. Instead of trying to deal with a three games in eight days deal Hunt and Corinth Holders chose to play this past Wednesday. Both were off scheduled to be off tonight and wanted to play Wednesday night to give their players some time off before conference play starts next week. Rained out, let's try again Thursday rained out again. So both teams were forced to either cancell all together or play Friday which was suppose to be and off night. Sorry rained out again. They will try again at 6:30 Monday.
Just how much practice can any team have when you want to practice Monday and Tuesday for a Wednesday night game. I am sure they didn't practice Wednesdsy, Thursday or Friday because they thought they were playing that night until cancelled. Hunt plays Monday and can not start to get ready for Northern Nash until Tuesday.
