Kinston At Whiteville

East Duplin and Wallace played in the eastern final two years ago. Great game

I see this game as a toss up but will give the slight edge to Whiteville. Home field advantage and weather favors the Pack. Kinston has had a great year and based on stats has some skill people that can hurt you. One good thing for Kinston is they have seen their share of the Wing-T offense the past four years playing WRH and ED and then South Columbus this season so it will not be foreign to them.

The earlier posts about Whiteville and Legion Stadium sure brought back some memories. I think some on here are far too young to remember the Wolfpack and how great some of those teams were in the 80s. The 85 team was probably one of the best teams to not win a state championship featuring the great Patrick Lennon at tailback and a defense that gave up 6 points the entire regular season and 37 total in 13 games. Frank Ciamillo and Bill Hewett were great coaches. I was there in 1987 when the Pack finally won the title in a hard fought game with Thomasville. What else could be said about the late great Chester McGlockton? Those teams were something else in that era.
Yeah you’re right lol that totally went over my head. That JK v ED v WRH match ups are such familiar games for me I didn’t even think about it, feels like every game between the three is always big no matter the stage

Murphy @ Heritage

The problem for Murphy is they have zero real size on either line without #71 Gooden. The sophomore #72 Owens who is a big kid too and was #71's backup and could've stepped in and did a serviceable job, got a season ending injury himself against Swain mid season. So that leaves Murphy now with no size from anyone that is actually capable of contributing.
Without 71 I'd say Murphy is still as big or bigger than Heritage but size ain't everything

Burke County hoops

Lady Patriots travelled to Hickory tonight without the boys and came away with a 59-48 victory, snapping a three-game losing streak and even their record at 3-3. Freedom had nice balance tonight with three players in double figures and three others with more than six. Freedom will host Patton tomorrow and then travel to Draughn Tuesday. Then they will go to North Buncombe and host East Burke before the Christmas tournament. Conference play starts in the new year, so they need to pick up some wins over the holidays to prepare for that.

JK vs NE

@JKTigers0713champs you coming

He’s honestly a savior for many nchsfb junkies, especially in the east. The livestream sometimes drags because it’s hard to get a good signal at the complex. Somehow he gets it to work though.
No miracle it’s called an iPhone! I wasn’t going to do fb live tomorrow. But you have made that rather difficult now!! 😂😂😂

Murphy @ Heritage

Hopefully someone steps up and plays well
I hope so as well. I don't mean to come across as pessimistic, I just try to be realistic about the situation at hand. The problem for Murphy is they have zero real size on either line without #71. The sophomore #72 Owens who is a big kid too and was #71's backup could've stepped in and did a serviceable job, but the young man got a season ending injury himself mid season. So unfortunately it leaves Murphy with no real legitimate options with size upfront.

On a positive note Murphy should have a little more size next season with #71 and #72 returning and one or two of the JV kids integrating into the varsity squad, i.e. the freshman Burrell.

East Wilkes @ Heritage

I'll be watching the game on NFHS and listening to you smart "butts" running you're mouths on here like I have all year lol, I really don't see how you can call me a smart ass when gc4l and buzz coach are always the ones starting something talking down to Heritage, I guess you just read the things that get you upset like me saying we'd beat EW by 30, but anyway I would seriously be up for it but I haven't been to a game this season and I'm not going to start next week we're streaking rn lol
Where have I put down Heritage??? Show me!!!!!!
