It's Time For Real Football

I do my high school picks on Thursday but with everyone moving to varsity games to Thursday going to flip flop the NFL picks to Thursday and today the high schools.

We are down to nothing but conference games so the number of games has dwindled in the picks this week.  Last week only had three games played and went 2-1 to register my picks to 43-11.   Time for the quest for the playoffs to start.

SouthWest Edgecombe 1-5 @ North Pitt 1-5:  North has played a quality schedule with four of their losses have been to teams with a combined 19-4 record.   The Cougars have nothing to be ashamed of with their schedule.   North Pitt 34 SWE 28

North Edgecombe 5-0 at Rocky Mount Prep 3-3:  Prep is having one of their best seasons at 3-3.  The Warriors are in the middle of year two of top notch football and should have no problem with the Jags.  Warriors 38 Jags 6

Tarboro 4-2 @ South Creek 1-5:  Don't be alarmed that the Vikings have two losses as both were to fairly good 3A schools in a 4 day period Northern Nash and Southern Nash.  South Creek is not in their league of quality.  This game has been moved to tonight instead of Thursday.  Tarboro 34  South Creek 0.

Northern Nash 4-2 @ Hunt 3-3:  Northern defense has played great all year except for one quarter against Northeastern.  Hunt this season is not a four yards and a cloud of dust team that can dominant the football.  I'll take the Knights 20-14. By the way just in case you did not see this Monday night.  Hunt beat Cornith Holders 30-7.

Fike 4-2 @ Southern Nash 6-0:  Both these teams have played a couple of teams alike and in all cases  the Firebirds numbers compare favorably in all cases with Fike's numbers.  No one can sweep through the league undefeated unless you win the first on.  Southern Nash 38 Fike 24

Rocky Mount 5-1 @ Nash Central 4-2:  The shoe will be on the Gryphons foot just like Southern Must win the first to play a biggie later on with Southern.  Nash Central has improved on offense and can put points on the board.  The Gryphons have had moments of defense dominance but passing biggest exposed part.  No one has held the Gryphon Offense down.  The Question is can the Bulldogs score enough to pull and upset.  Gryphons 42 Nash Central 20.

Finally the Eagles of RMA have hit the meat of their schedule,RMA 6-0 @ St Davids 5-1.  Southampton knocked off ST Davids last week for their only loss.  Southampton the only other undefeated team left in 8 man football.  RMA  34 St Davids 32

Sorry to hear that NorthEast Carolina Prep has so many injuries that they don't have enough players to finish season and have forfeited their remaining games.
