Weekend Football Starts Tonight

Last week 7-2 to go with a 6-3 first week have started out at 13-5.  Compared to last year with only one miss the first two weeks need to pick up the correct winners. Three games will play tonight to get a long Labor Day going.

North Johnston 2-0 @ Nash Central 1-1: This will be a good game to see whether the Bulldogs surge with a win under their belts.  This will not be  easy.  I think this game will show that the Bulldogs are better.  Nash Central 26 North Johnston 21

SouthWest Edgecombe 0-2 @ South Central 0-2:  This will not make it as game of the week but it is important for both of these teams to begin to show improvement..  South Central 27 SWE 23

Southern Nash 2-0 @ Bunn 2-0::  The  Wildcats already have a victory over Fike so this is a measuring stick for Southern Nash.  If the Firebirds hold on to the ball they win this one.  SN 38 Bunn 24.

Rocky Mount Prep 0-2 @ North East Carolina Prep 0-2:  This should be a evenly matched game and would not surprise me if it goes over time.  NECP 20 RMP18.

Rocky Mount Academy  2-0 @ Community Christian 0-2:  RMA has now got a program that this game should be a blowout.  They cannot let this be close.  RMA 48 CC 6.

Hertford County 1-1 @ Rocky Mount 1-1:  These two have played every year ever since the Gryphons dropped to 3A.  Most of the time the series has been dominated by the Gryphons..  Don't think it will be a blowout like last year but Rocky Mount wins Gryphons 34 Hertford County 6

Tarboro 2-0 @ Northern Nash 1-1:  Of the games being played on Friday this is the game of the Night.  The Knights defense will need to last all four quarters.  You know the Viking game hide the ball and pound you.  Vikings go to 3-0 26 Knights 13.

The college football season begins tonight and one of the two happens in Raleigh and the other in Winston Salem

Wiliam & Mary @ NC State.  Pressure is on in Raleigh with tougher non conference schedule plus the hardest conference slate.  Tonight is not one however the Tribe is not a Patsy.   Pack should get season off on right foot NC State 33 Wiliam & Mary 20

Tulane @ Wake Forest.  This is a hard game to pick  but I'll take the Deacs at home Wake 20 Tulane 10.

Charlotte @ Louisville.  Charlotte is a fairly good team, maybe not tonight The Ville 38 Chatlotte 21

North Carolina Wesleyan College begins it's football season for the second year in a row Friday night when they travel to Stevenson University near Baltimore.  I suspect this one will be played in the rain.  Stevenson 24 NCW17

Several high school games were already schedule for tonight because of the Holiday weekend.  I can't say I have heard about movements on all games.  Check your local school because I suspect they are tonight instead of Friday because of the Tropical Storm.
