7-0 Dudley is the least talked about team in this state year after year from media all the way to this forum an others. This team is really good and will be a difficult out in the playoffs ....Nobody wants to play them especially at Dudley

They can win it all.... just stacked at every position and blessed with speed all over the field.

5 of their 7 games have been shutouts...only allowed 13pts all season while averaging 51pts per game.

MY PICKS (3-0 Last Week) 31-8 Season
East Duplin @ South Lenoir
The Panthers looks like they're on the right track after a blow out win over NL last week. This week i don't see no difference, they will run over SL 64-0

(8)JAMES KENAN @ NORTH LENOIR
My Tigers survived a scare from Kinston last Friday night to remain undefeated. The only undefeated team left in the conference. That doesn't hold any weight going to Lagrange, cause NL took down the last unbeaten conference foe(WRH) that stroll into town. And NL comes in to this one after a beat down at East Duplin, and will be looking for another upset. I don't think the Hawks will fly high enough to stay out of reach of my Tigers. JK 42-6

GAME OF THE WEEK
KINSTON @ WALLACE ROSE HILL
This one is a hard one to call! Can Wallace defend the pass, and will Kinston make enough stops to walk away victorious out of the Dog Pound. I look for the Bulldogs to keep this one on the ground all night, cause Kinston has a hard time stopping the run. Kinston is very much improved, and they will let it fly. Their qb is smart, and they have athletes all around him. Who will come out of this one in control of 2nd place in the ECC? I got Wallace in a min shootout 36-33.

“The football championships will be held at UNC-Chapel Hill’s Kenan Memorial Stadium and N.C. State’s Carter-Finley Stadium for the fourth year in a row. This year, the 2A and 4A Championships will be at Kenan and the 1A and 3A Championships will be at Carter-Finley. The decisions regarding game times will be made once the teams are determined.” Source Bryant Roche Winston Salem Journal.

I feel the EAST/ eastern part of the state is getting the all of the sites. How about the western part of the state like Wake Forest, App State or even the Panthers Bank of America Stadium getting a site along side one eastern venue.

Should be an eastern site and a western site each year, rotating 1 thru 4A or 1 thru 8A since we are going to that model.

This is normally one of the biggest games of the year but Swain has underperformed this season. Will the Maroon Devils turn it around and prove you can throw records out the window in this series or will the Bulldogs walk away with this one? I personally think Swain struggles offensively against the Murphy defense and does ok defensively. Murphy 28-7.

Very interesting match up. Who gets the 1st win?

Jackets big win last night is coming at the perfect time. 49-0 over Piedmont with an entire 2nd half running clock. Our air attack is on point, Dilworth looked flawless against his former school. As for Piedmont they didn’t have a chance. Stopped our run game decently in the first half but had nothing for the pass what so ever. Our defense played lights out, Piedmont is very weak on offense and has zero passing attack, and can not pass the ball down field at all. Jackets are hot!

I seen a few. Who would be your biggest surprise of the night.

Would not have thought this would be an interesting game at the start of the season. Predicted conference winner SWE sits in 5th place currently, while predicted last place finisher sits in first. SWE has lost 3 of 4 after starting 3-0, while AG has won 3 of 5 after starting 0-3. Basically, everything is in reverse when comparing the two teams. I know AG is playing well right now. They even beat a North Pitt team we lost to after having a two td halftime lead. But I just can't see SWE losing to them. If we do, I'm just gonna stick a fork in our relevancy for this year. But I'm not fool...Im not taking AG lightly. They are playing well at the right time.

Could be a good one at home this week, we are 6-1 with an OT loss by 1 point to James Kenan, Pender is 5-2. Hopefully the Pack can continue with the momentum they have gained thru the last few games and move forward with a win at home. Glad to be back at Legion Stadium for Homecoming, I believe.

Doesn’t get no bigger than this in the Private School. 6-2 Rabun Gap vs 6-1 Providence Day. This should be a good one.

Kings Mountain up 7-0 over Stuart Cramer 1qtr
