This game is going to be a good one. What y’all think about this one?

I understand somewhat the 1st round seedings, RPI plus Conference Champions then others by RPI.
My question is this: after the first round, what determines the home field? Seeding or RPI?

Mid State 3A title on the line.

For the 3rd year in a row, the conference championship comes down to the last game of the year. Dudley comes in 9-0 and Eastern comes in 8-1 with its only loss to Western Alamance in Overtime. Both teams come in undefeated and have dominated competition in conference. Any thoughts on the game?

Ok walk me through it, who yall got?

Who wins?

This should be a good matchup. Definitely know more about these 2 teams and how the conference will shape up after this week. Any thoughts on the game.

Congratulations on his D1 offer to play at Presbyterian College! Have herd he has several more schools looking at him.
This young man does all the kicking for MA also starter on offense and defense.

Must win for both teams! Both team need this game to possibly sneak in the playoffs

I give west a slight edge on Offense but I think North has the better D so Will see who shows up

Both have some great players on both sides! Kaleb Sales (NI) ; CJ Ferguson (WI) are 2 key player to keep a eye on

Don’t expect much this week. Will probably see a ton of backups finishing up the regular season once Tarboro gets a nice lead. Let’s get ready for the playoffs!

We are entering the last week of the regular season and they've hired a coach that can't even finish with a better record than the coach they fired. The crazy thing is that they have the same kids that Griffin had when he was the head coach and have added a few new kids but the results are not the same. We play WS Prep this week which should be a win but with the way the coaches staff is coaching this team, it might be the first year that Prep beats Carver. I know they're happy at 3545 about being #29 in the polls for the playoffs, but at the end of the day its pointless because they're gonna be 1 and done in playoffs. To finish 2-9 is nothing especially after they fired Griffin for a 3-7 season last year is absurd. I'm looking forward to seeing what transpires Friday night at the hive. #griffinshouldstillbethecoach #newadminme #thisisadisgrace

Ok lets hear what folks are thinking...
East only 1 loss, which was to Burns fri. And East gave the Bulldogs fits.
Shelby looks better then start of year, but how do u really tell with conf. We play in.
Can East dbs hang with speed Shelby has at Rec spots..
I think like Burns Shelby wins by at least 2 scores.
Just cant get caught looking ahead to Burns

This should be a good one 🏈

Two big games this week and a possible blowout. Conference title is on the line between Salisbury-N Rowan and the Thomasville-Lexington game has big playoff and RPI meaning. East Davidson-West Davidson is finishing up the season likely for both.

Salisbury-NR: Conference title is on the line with the #1 1A and #1 2A seeds clashing in Rowan County. NR 8-1 (#5 1A RPI) is a really good 1A team with its only loss to 2A (RPI #2) Forest Hills 8-1. Salisbury 9-0 and the 2A (RPI #5) is the favorite to win the game. They have beaten NR 3-4 years in a row and are very a very strong team. I think NR gives them a good game but Salisbury wins the CCC title and finishes 10-0. NR will be 8-2 and a tough game in the playoffs in November with the season they have put together against strong competition.

Thomasville-Lexington: Thomasville 6-3 and riding a three game winning streak plays at Lexington 5-4 and riding a two game losing streak against CCC powers N Rowan and Salisbury. A win for both teams is big in the playoffs for RPI and seeding. Thomasville has won the last many meetings dating back a while and is the favorite. The Jackets have proven they can beat good teams and are always a hard game for the Bulldogs. Tempers will fllair, trash will be talked and you can throw the records out in this one. Thomasville lost to Salisbury 12-6 and NR 16-12 and could have won both games. Lexington lost to Salisbury 44-13 and NR 21-14. I am going wth the Bulldogs by 2-3 TD's as they prepare for the 1A playoffs and a possible run in November.

East Davidson 3-6 and West 0-9 meet in a game that can only help the Golden Eagles. West lost to S Davidson friday to seal their fate as the bottom feeder of the CCC again. East has one player the Dragons cannot handle in Brogan Hill. Guy scored three TD's against TVille friday and could have a career night against West. A win probably gets ED a first round beating on the road and a 4-6 record. What was once a long time rival nowadays is all in favor of ED. ED wins 42-6.

As of today September 28, 2023 who should be favored to finish 3rd place in the Big South Conference? My vote is Huss.

Wallace Rose Hill 6-3 5-0
East Duplin 9-1 4-1
Southwest Onslow 5-4 4-1
James Kenan 6-3 3-2
Kinston 3-6 1-4
North Lenoir 2-7 1-4
South Lenoir 1-9 0-6

LAST WEEK
Wrh 20 ED 14ot
Swo 34 Jk 24
NL 20 SL 12
Kinston opened

THIS WEEK
Wallace Rose Hill @ James Kenan
Southwest Onslow @ East Duplin
Kinston @ North Lenoir
South Lenoir season is over

MY PICKS
Kinston is coming off a bye week, and one would think that they have focus on their run game, if so I think Kinston will win this game by 14+. North Lenoir run game will be the key, if their star back can get 150+, then I believe that NL will win. I think Kinston wins 34-28.

Swo has won 4 in a row and seems to be ready for a playoff run. While ED is coming off their first loss of the season, will they be able to bounce back? ED defense is better than JK's defense, and JK defense did a great job on swo for a half. I think ED starts fast and hold off Swo in the end. ED 28 Swo 20

GAME OF THE WEEK

The James Kenan that most expected to show up this season only showed up for a few drives during the whole season. A very disappointment for Tiger nation. Wallace has turned things around and are the newly crowned ECC champions. Did Wallace leave everything on the field against ED and are looking past a JK team that can still be dangerous? Will Jk try to savage a disappointing season with a win over their rivals, something they haven't accomplished in 10 straight games. The last two meetings have been decided by a td, including a 38-31 overtime win by the dogs last year in Wallace. So who wins this one? I have seen some crazy things happen in this rivalry, and I have NEVER picked against my Tigers 🐅. And I won't start now! I believe that my Tigers will come out swinging and pull off a thrilling upset 28-27. LET'S GOOOO TIGERS 🐅

Good luck to all teams!

On paper EW should win this game easily, however look what unfolded in Elkin a few weeks ago. If my calculations are correct, with an Elkin loss to Starmount and Alleghany loss to Mt. Airy would move EW to third in conference.

Next week... Who wins?

Post here and often.
