A few big storylines to watch in this game. Dionte Neal is expected to make his much anticipated (and much needed) return this week. Also, Al Lee should break Reidsville's all-time passing yards record this week, only needing 138 to match Kyle Pinnix's record of 7,158.

Homecoming at SWE. The hosts should have their way with this team tonight.

Game of interest as 6-1 Weddington takes on 7-0 Sun Valley. Any thoughts

My struggling Vikings will be going to AL Brown with no conference wins so far. AL Brown is better than their record shows. AL Brown has started out fast scoring wise and I think they will continue doing it as well. South should have a better year next year and I look for them to do even better the year after.
As for JV, I think this will be a very good ballgame. I’m planning on going to the JV game if nothing happens. Any thoughts on the game

Boy, Pender put up some points last week TRIPLE DIGITS! Think we have a decent D and will not allow anything close to half of that, but we gotta drive over there and play, the Pack seems to be hitting their stride would like to see a penalty free, minimum TO game and I think we'll be ok.

Should be a good one.

East Duplin vs Tarboro

South Lenoir 0-4 1-7

Last Week
East Duplin 42 North Lenoir 0
Swo 50 South Lenoir 0
JK 49 Kinston 26
Wrh open

This Week
South Lenoir @ East Duplin
North Lenoir @ James Kenan
Southwest Onslow open

Game of Week
Wallace Rose Hill @ Kinston
I don't really know if this is considered a game of the week, it should be, especially with all the talent that Kinston has. Jk was up 42-6 in the 4th on them Friday night. For some reason Kinston just wants to pass the ball, and hardly ever run it. This will be the Bulldogs last tune up before clashing with the undefeated, defending ECC and 2a State Champions at the Dog 🐕 Pound. Wrh 66-8

My Picks
ED 70-0
Jk 56-8

Good luck to all teams!

Asheville Citizen Times used to (maybe they still do but their coverage sucks) of the top 10 teams in WNC. This included McDowell, Rutherford and all the counties directly west (and a few north) of there. I only include public schools.

Here is my top 10 as of October 9-

1. Reynolds
2. Roberson
3. West Henderson
4. Robbinsville
5. Murphy
6. Pisgah
7. Swain
8. Mitchell
9. Mtn. Heritage
10. Brevard

Running a bit late again this week - sorry about that. I'm busy like everyone else. Last week was a great week for the Simmons Ratings - 87% of the games were picked correctly with 46% of the games both with the correct winner and within 8 points on the final margin. Check out this week's power rankings, game picks, scores, standings, and more:

Post any JV scores

Not sure what the after effects may be of overhauling the NCHSAA. I think NC can be potentially opening a Pandora’s Box. Definitely not a fan of putting almost all control in the hands of political appointees no matter what political party they represent. That always ends up bad at some point. Doing all of this in the middle of the night speaks volumes also. We will see…

p.s. Here’s the rub. It seems in NC we have many that scream for smaller government with less regulation but many of those same people support government expanding into high school sports and many other areas when it suits their needs. The irony.

All the conference matchups are in Henderson County this week. Who ya got?

Pisgah @ West Henderson
Tuscola @ East Henderson
Franklin @ North Henderson

Smoky - Bye

Edgecombe County has a planning day this friday, so our game this week will be played on Thursday. There hasn't been word from SWE yet, but county policy is that no after school activities take place if there is no school that day. County rival Tarboro has already confirmed their home game will be Thursday, so it's pretty much a given that the same will be for us.
Any more Thursday games?

So who do you have in this Time Slip Throwback Thursday classic?

North Gaston 21-14 over Hunter Huss
South Point 49-14 over Ashbrook
Crest 42-7 over Forestview
Kings Mountain 51-3 over Stuart Cramer

Just made a separate post to show you what I have found on Rabun Gap. Didn’t want to blow up the other post with recruiting info.

That’s 14 but I believe their kicker is the #4 kicker in the state of GA. So I’m sure he will be getting good offers. As far as the comment from the other post, I really was encouraging you to dig into their roster, not making a smart comment.

Lake Noman 14 Cox Mills 0 1:21 left in 2nd quarter.
Oops that is 4A.

Athletic facilities upgrades approved by the state.

Starmount and Forbush High Schools will be getting new turf football fields, track, and visitor bleachers.

East Wilkes, North Wilkes, West Wilkes & Wilkes Central High Schools will be getting turf football fields plus some other funds for some improvements at the school.

East Surry, North Surry, and Surry Central will be getting turf football fields.

Major facilities upgrades for our local high schools.

Its almost time to start seeing the playoff projections from everyone. Any takers?
