Vikings -Firebirds High Light Action

The schedule just might be unfair to Tarboro 3-1 in this one as they will finish up their third game in eight days.    Wish this could have been the first game of the three.  The 3-1 Tarboro Vikings invade unbeaten Southern Nash 4-0.  Southern Nash will be fresh while Tarboro playing third game in eight days. I wonder did playing twice in three days effect the Vikings in their loss to Northern?  If it did ?

If Southern is going to be as good as I think they are then they must win this game.  Tarboro will give the Firebirds  all they want but I think three games in eight days will give the Firebirds the edge.  A close loss for Tarboro against a 3A school would not be a bad loss but a loss by the Firebirds would be.  Southern Nash 34 Tarboro  13

The last 30 years the only time Rocky Mount 3-1 has beaten  Rose is when they have been super good and even then Rose 1-2 had to be having a down year.  So far this season this is not a typical year for the Rampants.  Their only loss the Gryphons scored 25 on Middle Creek who has only given up 17 in  their other three game.  I believe in history and to this point the Gryphons have not quite convinced me they are super. Only time will tell about that.  Still I'm taking Rocky Mount 31-28

Beddingfield 1-2 at Nash Central 3-1:  Another fascinating game this week..  Beddingfield will not be easy for the still growing Bulldogs. Nash Central 26 Beddingfield 21

Northern Nash 2-2 at Goldsboro 0-4:  Goldsboro having trouble scoring and for the most part the Knights defense has been hard to score on.  The key in this game will be which offense can help out their D and I think it will be The Knights. The Tarboro game might be bad news for the rest of the Big East if the Knight offense starts scoring and the defense only gets better.  Northern Nash 26 Goldsboro 7

SouthWest Edgecombe 0-4 at  Bertie 1-2:  If the Cougars are getting better even though their record doesn't show it  then this could be a win.  The Falcons are for the taking.  Cougars 33 Bertie 13

North Edgecombe 3-0 at Weldon 0-2:  The clock should run in the second half.  Warriors 53 Weldon 6

Rocky Mount Prep 1-3 at Kestral Heights 0-2: Tough one to call. Kestral Heights 26 RMP 20

NorthEast Carolina Prep 0-3 at South Creek 0-4:  Two winless teams but I believe the quality of South Creeks schedule is better than NECP. South Creek 30 NECP 18

Cary Christian 1-3 at RMA 4-0 :  Does it seem to you that the first part of  the Eagle schedule is their easy part.  Got to Win these games.  RMA 56 Cary Christian 6

Last week went 7-1 on picks But missed the Northern/Tarboro game which was a pick from a couple weeks back to be 26-8 on the year.
