It is the week that has been broiling that it was going to be the game of the year in the Big East. Rocky Mount and Southern Nash have not disappointed. The Middle of the pack both Nash Central and Northern Nash have a chance to put distance between themselves and both Wilson County Schools as they meet both this week.
Rocky Mount Academy 8-1 @ Southampton Academy Virginia 9-0: I can't see the Eagles making that much improvement in two weeks after the slaughter they took to SA two weeks ago. The good news is Southampton is in a different division when playoffs start. Southampton 48 RMA 26
South Creek 3-5 @ North Edgecombe 7-0: The Warriors will tune up for the big game with Tarboro next week. Warriors 36 South Creek 12
Tarboro 6-2 @ Northampton 4-5: I can't imagine this one being close unless Tarboro has North Edgecombe on their mind. I doubt it. Tarboro 48 Rams 6
North Johnston 5-3 @ SouthWest a Edgecombe 3-5: They lost their first five game but are on a roll now. Look out and don't be surprised if the Cougars win. SWE 36 North Johnston 20
Northern Nash 5-3 @ Fike 4-4: Fike lost their top quarterback against Rocky Mount. The Knights need this one since Fike is limited at quarterback. Northern Nash will win 23-17. Fike has three D 1 field goal kickers on their roster. All three in practice against Rocky Mount were hitting from 50. Northern needs not to let Fike have the ball with any kicking chance late.
Rocky Mount Prep 3-4 @ Riverside 6-2. Riverside is a decent team maybe not in Tarboro's level but they will be a load for Prep. Riverside 36 RMP12
Hunt 3-5 @ Nash Central 5-3: Nash Central is back. I think now that they have broken their four year conference losing streak they now start a winning streak. Nash Central 34 Hunt 13
Rocky Mount 7-1 @ Southern Nash 8-0: The two powerhouse teams in the league collide. A question for Rocky Mount is what is the health of kicker Chase Miller who did not kick in the second half against Fike with his leg wrapped. This could be the type week where a kick could be the difference.
This game is of third round playoff quality and Win or lose these two could meet again with teams like Havelock and West Craven having a say in that.. Rocky Mount has played the tougher schedule but Not only can the Birds run but they have a deep threat in the passing game. This will be a barn burner. Rocky Mount 35 Southern Nash 34.
The Rocky Mount girls tennis team 12-2 traveled in the opening round to Northern Guilford 13-3. The Lady Gryphons advance to round two in the team playoffs with a 5-3 victory over NG. Round two in the team playoffs is Tuesday while Sarah Bland and Grace Warner will play in the final 16 of the doubles state championships Friday. Fike the only other team from the Big East was an easy winner 8-1 and they too will play Tuesday.
There is a college football game of the ACC tonight and it is a rather good one. Virginia Tech 5-2 at Pittsburgh 5-2. This could be a wild one. Pitt has a hard time stopping anyone and their offense can score. In a shoot out I doubt Tech can out scoring Pitt. But I think Tech can slow down Pitt just enough to win Tech 27 Pitt 24.

High School Playoffs begin
This past weekend the regional tennis championships were held and no player from Nash County made the state championships. The doubles team of Sarah Bland and Grace Warner did make the championships in doubles. The singles and doubles state championships are this weekend at what has now become the home of the 3A championships the Burlington Tennis Center. The games will be played Friday and Saturday for singles and doubles.
The team championships according to the NCHSAA schedule were suppose to start last night but I cannot find anywhere where it did. Only two teams from the Big East made it and that was Fike 19-1 will host Northwood. Big East number two Rocky Mount 12-2 travels to Northern Guilford 13-3.
You might remember that team competition is always in the beginning of the week and singles and doubles comes toward the end. If the Gryphons survive their opening team match round two is next Tuesday. I can't imagine the teams not playing today. Remember the playoffs in the minor sports have been adjusted just like all sports trying to overcome the effect of Hurricane Matthew.
Volleyball will begin play tonight. The Big East has three teams in as the top seed from the Big East Hunt will host at home. Fike the regular season number two and Rocky Mount both hit the road. Rocky Mount has no small task as they travel to Gray's Creek who is the top seed in the east.
Last week went 10-4 in the NFL picks. We will just act as if the Seattle tie with Arizona did not exist and not bother to keep adding a one to the end of my record. as of Monday night I am now 52-28 on the season. Due to the high school playoffs my normal Wednesday NFL picks are on the shelf. You will just have to take my word when I go 16-0 next week.
I guess you have heard about this by now but the NFL viewership of their games is down 25% this season. Most speculate that citizens are protesting those players who will not stand for the National Anthem. There is of course a second reason as there have been some real dog games played on Prime Time including this Thursday night's game.
The NFL Network ran an article as to how to solve the problem and their answer was to put more San Diego Charger games on Prime Time. Every game but one has gone down to the last minute before being decided. I'm all for that and can't wait until December 11th when the Chargers visit the Panthers. It will be the first time I get to see Philip Rivers live since graduating from NC State.
I was there the last time the Chargers visited the Panthers in 2004 and Rivers was the third team quarterback behind Doug Flutie. Flutie and River stood during practice about and hour and a half before the game at the forty yard line and played a game of seeing who could hit the cross bar of the goal post with a pass. Rivers hit it four of ten times while Flutie struggle to even throw it far enough to hit the post. All this time starting quarterback Drew Brees was passing with his wide receivers warming up. The Panthers won the game 17-10

Lookout for Family
We all who work in the workplace have rival companies that compete for business. Sports is the same but coaches in each different sport are a fraternity of brothers who love to beat each other but whenever one is down on their luck those others don't want to see any one suffer.
We head toward the possible biggest week in Big East football this season and Head Coach Brian Foster of Southern Nash missed all of last week with his Firebirds as he had family issues that took priority. Coach Foster wife Kim and son Zach were headed to the beach last weekend when they possibly had a flat tire. Zack the freshman backup quarterback at North Carolina Wesleyan was driving and while trying to slowdown their car flipped over jumped across the guard rail on I 40 and hit head on a with another car near Wimington on I-40.
The Foster's have multiple injuries to their legs, ankles, and feet. Each team regardless of who you pull for you want to beat everyone. You do want every team to be at their best when you play them. I hope coach Foster can get back on the field with his team this week which would mean his family is getting better. We pray all will be well as time passes to Kim and Zack Foster.
I think the answer to the question when was the last conference win for Nash Central was 2012. There is no doubt that Chris Lee has turn the Bulldog program around nicely in his year and a half. They should be set to compete for a conference championship next season when they drop to 2-A.
I think up coming in the football playoffs there will be a change in the seedings process. Look for the top two teams in each conference to be seeded by conference rank and then the rest going off overall record. That should eliminate 2-8 teams from getting in the playoffs but it will reward teams who played a light non conference schedule to be seeded higher than some who played tougher outside games.
I would suspect you had better be there early Friday night at Southern Nash when Rocky Mount pays a visit. At Southern in recent years has not been friendly for the Gryphons. This game most likely being for the top seed in the conference should be one of the biggest crowds ever in Southern history.
There has been plenty of confusion this season moving up varsity football to 7pm. Remember kickoff is 7 Friday night.

Only Two At The Top
Despite coach Brian Foster in Wilmington with his Wife Kim and son Zack who remained hospitalized after and auto accident last weekend the Firebirds did not allow the Hunt offense to score so you could say the Birds had a rather good night beating Hunt 35-6.
Rocky Mount moved the ball at will against Fike putting up 47 points and the first team defense giving up only 7 points. Both Rocky Mount and Southern Nash stand 2-0 in the Big East. The Firebirds stand 8-0 while Rocky Mount is 7-1. The Gryphons have won eight straight conference games their last lost occurred on October 28th 2014 when they lost 28-21 to Southern Nash.
If you recall Rocky Mount had the ball down inside the ten yard line with less than a minute to play and got a holding call plus an unsportsmanlike penalty on the bench which took away any hope in that loss. Since then however the Gryphons have learned from their mistakes and are 23-4.
Nash Central's win over over Northern Nash is their first conference win since? It's been a while. There is no doubt Nash Central now 5-3 1-1 in the Big East will be heading for the playoffs this season. The question on Northern Nash 5-3 1-1 has been can they score enough to win. Both are tied for third. It has been a while since all four Nash County schools are ahead in the standing of both Fike and Hunt 0-2.
Fike's 4-4 0-2 two conference losses are to both leaders Rocky Mount and Southern Nash. They just might have a say it in their three remaining games. Hunt 3-4 0-2 is having a terrible season. They are struggling to score and can't stop anybody. Looks like they may have a hard time winning a conference game and I doubt that has ever happened before.
When the NCHSAA decided to add a week to the season it help every team eliminate that three games in eight days but it probably helped Rocky Mount more than anyone else. The third game in that eight days would have been the trip to Southern Nash. Now they get a full week to prepare for what should be the championship game or at least give the winner a game lead with two to play.
There is a high school makeup game Monday night. North Edgecombe 6-0 come to Rocky Mount Academy 3-4. The Warriors should roll 44-6.

Bishops Throw A Shutout
The Battling Bishops of North Carolina Wesleyan traveled to Greenboro Saturday a week after having homecoming cancelled because of Hurricane Matthew and the Bishops didn't like to have to celebrate homecoming in Greensboro used and abused Greensboro College by the tune of 44-0.
The Bishops took the opening drive to the Pride five yard line before fumbling but the defense created a 3 and out and then the scoring spurt begun. Chris Richardson got the Bishops on the board at 4:51 of the first with a 25 yard field goal. Veon Bryd getting running action with the injury to Gerrell Patton scored on a one yard dive with 10 :59 to play in the half. It took a minute and a half before Adrian Minondo scored from 13 yards out and the score was 17-0. The 2:10 mark Deandre Gillis scampered ten yards to balloon the score to 24-0. The Bishop D who dominated the entire day gave the offense one more shot before the half and with no time left Chris Richardson nailed his second field goal to make the half time score of 27-0.
The Bishop D just maybe the greatest day ever in Wesleyan history as the Pride were held for the day to 51 yards rushing and only 29 passing for a total offense on the day of 80 yards. The Bishops led by Adrian Minondo 23 carries and 123 yards and Veon Byrd 13 totes and 106 yards. For the day the Bishops rushed for 349 yards and passed for 167.
The second half was almost a repeat of the first as Minondo scored from two yards out at 10:18 of the third. Second team quarterback Donielle Totten got a touchdown pass to Malik Adams for 26 yards still in the third quarter. Chris Richardson rounded out the Bishops scoring with his third field goal from 30 yards with 6:50 to play in the game.
The Battling Bishops evened their record to 3-3 and 2-1 in Conference USA South. They return home next Saturday October 29th with a 1pm kickoff either Averitt.

Showdown Is Set
I don't care who you pull for having a week off in the middle of conference play has to be unnerving not knowing how a forced layoff will effect your team. Both Southern Nash and Rocky Mount took care of business to set up the battle for first place next week.
The Gryphons had little resistance when they had the ball as they scored four of the first five times they had the ball. The Gryphons for the game rushed for 433 yards on 49 carries. Deangelo Collins carried the load in the first half rushing for 114 yards. BJ Sanders out of action against Nash Central didn't carry the ball until the third quarter finishing with 130 yards. Mckenzy Wright 4/7 82 yards passing and Shabios Lynch 4/4 29 yards passed for 111.
Fike got 211 total yards on 106 rushing on 35 tries while passing 2-12 105 yards. Down 35-0 at the half Fike took the second half kickoff scoring on a Kenny Johnson one yard dive. Syquan Hutchinson caught a 64 yard bomb for Fikes second score.
Rocky Mount took the opening kickoff and marched down the field scoring at 7:26 of the first on a three yarder by Deangelo Collins. A quarterback sneak gave Mckenzy Wright a score at 1.26 of the first.
The Gryphons third score came on maybe the prettiest play of the year as the Gryphons looked to be running the option as Wright faked a pitch to Charlie Williams who acted as if the pitch has gone over his head instead it went to Detrell Revis on the reverse and he promptly went 53 yards for a score at 7:49 of the half. Charlie Williams got in the act at 2:16 scoring the Gryphons fourth td of the half. The defense didn't want to get left out scored on a sack fumble recovered by Sherrod Green for point 34. Maybe trouble on the horizon as kicker Chase Miller was injured on his fifth extra point and did not play in the second half.
Once Fike scored on their opening drive on the second half the Gryphons responded on an 80 yard drive finished off by a one yard dive by B J Sandrrs at 4:59 of the third. Sanders scored again getting a 50 yard gallop to finish off the Gryphon scoring. The fourth quarter belonged to the clean shirts as Rocky Mount goes to 2-0 in Big East play beating Fike 47/14
Southern Nash with all the difficulty that coach Brian Foster family has had this week started slow but picked up the pace to defeat Hunt 35-6
I am not sure this is a major surprise but maybe the score as Nash Central wins a conference game besting Northern Nash 22-16

Another Critical Week
Last Week went 6-2 on college picks to run my record to 51-18. We are at the point in the season where every game now has an effect on Bowl Games. As long as you have only lost one conference game you are still in the running for the division title. A division title gets you in the conference championship game.
North Carolina Wesleyan 2-3 @ Greensboro College 1-5: Their five losses Greensboro has given up 228 points. Their record shows three losses but as far as the Battling Bishops are concerned they have all been to heavy weights. Bishops 38 Greensboro 17
ECU 2-4 @ Cincinnati 3-3: There is no doubt the Pirates ship is sinking having lost four in a row after winning their opening two. Doubt they break losing streak in Ohio. Would love to see the Pirate defense improve. Bearcats 33 Pirates 27
NC State 4-2 @ Louisville 5-1: I don't know if I have ever seen the Wolfpack defense play any better than they did against the Tigers. It is a pity Rocky Mount High School has a better kicker than the Wolfpack. If D plays as well this week Pack has a chance Louisville 26 NC State 24
North Carolina 5-2 @ Virginia 2-4: V Tech loss last week puts the Heels right back in the division lead.. Virginia is much improved since first couple of weeks but not to the Tar Heels level Carolina 44 Virginia 21
Duke 3-4 @ Georgia Tech: There is just something about Duke that they seem to be able to make other teams play poorly. Has not led to a win every week but the Devils have been in every game most of he time. Duke 27 Georgia Tech 24
Miami 4-2 @ Virginia Tech 4-2: Both teams have had moments this year that they look like title contenders. They both have two losses that they looked lost. I have a feeling Blacksburg is a good place for a Gobbler win. Va Tech 30 Miami 24
Syracuse 3-4 @ Boston College 3-3: All of a sudden the Orange are scoring points. BC hasn't scored much but defense has played well. Have a feeling the Cuse wins on the road. 38 -27
