Function at the Junction

All right, my Tarboro and Southwest Edgecombe fans and alums, Grit and Grind Shawn, have a question for you. For as long as I remember going to the annual game, it has always been called Function at the Junction unless you are in Tarboro, where they have dubbed it another nickname. Can anyone give me the history of why it's called Function at the Junction?

When giants fall: the surprising rise of the high school football underdogs

At the kickoff of the season, everyone's all very eager over the hottest team in NC—speedy, strong, and as big as their egos! But come playoff time the giants fall flat on their face. It’s like watching a soap opera where the underdogs steal the show and the front-runners trip over their own shoelaces, leaving us all wondering if anyone's been checking the fortune cookies for the real champion!

Forest Hills (1-1) @ Walkertown (2-0)

Last year Forest Hills crushed Walkertown at home. We travel up to Walkertown this Friday and it sounds like they've improved from last year's team. Forest Hills is still loaded with talent on both sides of the ball but it's the QB play that's been erratic at times. Too many INTs and Fumbles by both QBs. We gave up two scores against North Rowan due to the QB fumbling at the half yard line and another was an INT inside the 5 when the QB tried to force a pass. Not a fan of the two QB system either. Cost us in the Ashbrook game also. Honestly the JV QB is playing better than these two. Other than the QB issues we have several great receivers, 3-4 good RBs, big linemen etc. Beginning of the year I figured Walkertown would be an easy win but not now.

MPC Week 3

After a rough week for the conference, things can only get better in all likelihood...

ND vs Davie
OG vs Ragsdale
CD vs WD
Ledford vs Wheatmore
MC at JF Webb
Asheboro bye

Alright, we found out a bit more with the conference this past week. Now things start to get serious. They say you improve the most between game one and two, then find out who is really who in week three... let's do this!

North welcomes Davie to Welcome (hehe), not necessarily a friendly place for war chickens, and both are trying to sort themselves out. Davie was obliterated in opening week by Mooresville and followed it up by losing to rival West Rowan. Now they get another old rival in North Davidson and they may be licking their chops at facing a much smaller school to right the ship. North has played good defense at times and had trouble finishing on offense the first two weeks, is this where they iron out the kinks? Stay tuned...

Oak Grove played West Forsyth even for a half and then got snowballed in the second. They look to pick themselves up against Ragsdale who is looking better this year. Kudos to OG and ND for scheduling tough opponents in the non conference to prep for conference. OG has owned Ragsdale the past couple years but this Tiger team looks upgraded, we shall see.


Central has found the going rough against quality opponents but now they get to face off with bitter rival West Davidson. The Dragons look much improved and hungry to prove themselves after years of ineptitude. They pounded Ledford in a shocker nobody saw coming and now get to try for a win against Central for the first time in recent memory. Always a classic brawl with high tension and emotions.

Ledford was expected to lose against Glenn but after getting a thorough whipping from West they have only scored 6 points in two games... the defense which is usually their strength is nowhere to be found. Is Wheatmore what the vet ordered for the kitty cats? Wheatmore barely lost to West, but comparative scores mean nothing. Ledford better find the matchups or its the start of a long season...

Montgomery Central has two wins and looking for another against Webb. They won last year and look to take another step forward this season.

Asheboro has looked much better and gets to rest a week before strapping it back up. Is this the year they end their conference losing streak?
