Of what intrest yor might ask ....After all its a general consensus Not a real game at all. Notice the concern on the WRH fans, there is still a thread about the Havelock/WRH GAME GOING STRONG. No mention of the puny team in Jacksonville. The weakest perdiction is WRH by a bunch. One even said we get the breaks beat off. Both come in at 1-3, only one gets the W. No use to start a poll as the answer is clear, The Stallions will need a trip to the body shop Saturday. I can only think of one response ...... Only Pay attention to the brakes and you could get run over by the rest of the bus. No matter the outcome I and the rest of the Stallion faithful will continue to be cheering. The Bulldogs will be welcomed to Phil Padgett Stadium along with all the great fans from Teachy. I would think a lot will be at the ED/JK game to witness a more even matchup. Where ever you go tonight have a great Friday Night under the lights. Check in ever so often and monitor the lopsided match up.

Pre-game show with Coach Charlie Dempsey at 6:30
Kickoff at 7

Another GM4 game that should be really good. I know many will pick LKN, undefeated.. top 25.. blah blah blah… but I think AL Brown is the better team, and wins this by a couple scores.

Post Scores Here.

ND vs Watauga
OG vs Hibriten
Ledford vs Providence Grove
CD vs Eastern Randolph
Aboro vs Randleman
MC vs Piedmont

Well it’s that time of year for conference play. Already looking forward to some games.

3-0 Hickory vs 3-0 East Lincoln
This game most likely will decide the conference. Would have to be conference game of week. My predictions. I’m leaving it as a tossup

1-2 Statesville vs 2-1 North Lincoln
Hard game to decide. Since I’m not sure what N, Lincoln has. But going with Statesville in a tight game

3-0 West Iredell vs 0-3 St Stephens.
West Iredell has improved but St Stephens seems to have fallen off some. Going with West Iredell in a close game.

1-2 North Iredell vs 0-3 Foard
North Iredell pulled out a good win against Alexander Central last week. I think North Iredell picks up another win.

Any thoughts or predictions with these games

JMR 4-0 (2-0)
NW Cabarrus 4-0 (1-0)
West Rowan 1-3 ( 1-0)
Concord 3-1 ( 1-1)
Central Cabarrus 1-3 ( 0-1)
Carson 1-3 ( 0-1)
South Rowan 1-3 ( 0-1)
East Rowan 0-4 ( 0-1)

JM Robinson vs Carson
NW Cabarrus vs East Rowan
West Rowan vs South Rowan
Concord vs Central Cabarrus

My picks
JM Robinson
NW Cabarrus
West Rowan
Concord

I would say best game in this conference for this week would be Concord n CC game.

Chatham Central @ Seaforth, S, 35-13
North Moore @ Jordan-Matthews, NM, 56-6
(Thurs.) Bartlett Yancey @ Northwood, N, 35-21
Graham @ Cummings, C, 63-6
SE Alamance, BYE

N GASTON come in 3 and 1 MOUNTIES will not take them LIGHTLY.

I’m going with Statesville big win over East Lincoln 42-14. Also Davie won over East Forsyth 41-28

Didn’t see Val’s weekly post game “Surprises” thread, so I thought I’d share a few of my observations.

Monroe is for real. They were down 14-0 to a previously unbeaten 4A Porter Ridge team, and came back to beat them. They meet an undefeated Forest Hills next week, which will be the game of the week in all of 2A, in my opinion.

Thomasville, despite losing, exposed Salisbury some, in my opinion. The Hornets looked scary good before last night. The Bulldogs brought them back to earth, in what was an obviously a highly competitive game, a defensive struggle. Salisbury won 12-6.

Out east, the defending 2A champs, East Duplin, is 5-0 on the season. They have seemingly flown under the radar. I guess due to how Clinton has dominated. Northeastern remains undefeated as well on the season. I still see Clinton as the team to beat, but ED and NE are looking like formidable opponents.

Late entry here. Didn’t see this game for this week until now. Both teams are 1-4. Should be interesting.

Let’s hear those picks.

Tuscola @ Franklin
East Henderson @ West Henderson
North Henderson @ Smoky Mountain
Pisgah BYE

2-3 Dutch Fork takes on 4-1 Weddington. Good chance for Weddington to take the win. Dutch Fort seems to improve and has won last couple games convincingly but will it be enough.

Draughn @ Avery

Huge blowout

Draughn 48
Avery 7

Mitchell @ Owen

Moderate blowout

Mitchell 41
Owen 13

Swain @ Madison

Huge blowout

Swain 42
Madison 0

Rosman @ Mtn Heritage

Mtn Heritage 41
Rosman 7

Moderate Blowout

Not much to talk about this week. 4 big mismatches.

SMC 1 Point Games
New Faith Christian Academy @ Murphy
Swain @ Madison
Andrews @ Hickory Hawks
Rabun Gap @ Robbinsville (Game of the week in SMC)
Cherokee OPEN
Hayesville OPEN

2 Point Bonus Games
Hendersonville @ Polk County
Mountain Island Charter @ Community School of Davidson
Maiden @ West Lincoln

This game will be played Thursday(tomorrow) due to weather.

We thought the last game was going to be tough. Cape Fear is no joke. They are a well built program that can run the scoreboard. They are leading the ground game and a kid having one of the best seasons of any wideout in the region.

The toughest test the Rams have faced to date.

Purnell Swett 4-0
Cape Fear 3-1(lost to Laney HS)

Best Wishes

Conference play starting this week. Who yall got?

Smoky Mountain @ Pisgah
East Henderson @ Franklin
West Henderson @ North Henderson
Tuscola BYE

Will there be a competitive game this week??

Enka @ AC Reynolds: Enka hasn’t scored on ACR in 5 years when they scored 7 points in 2017-18 season. I say they score but it will still be a blowout. ACR just wants to stay healthy ahead of facing Asheville next week.

Asheville @ Erwin: I’m thinking Asheville is going to take out some frustration this week. They too will be just wanting to get this game over and start focus on next week. Asheville wins BIG.

TC Roberson @ McDowell: Poor McDowell I wish them well, but it’s going to be over quick this week. TCR making a strong case for the best MAC team. Tougher games are coming and it will be interesting to see how they handle conference pressure.

A good conference matchup coming up with 4-1 Charlotte Catholic vs 2-2 Independence. Should draw out a good crowd. I’m looking forward to see how this one turns out. Any thoughts.

Post any 4A scores
1st Mooresville up 7-0 over Hickory Ridge

So onto the next week. Penders always a hard hitting team, wonder who’s gonna be the quarterback this week. Lots of questions going into this game.

MA 7-0 Tyler Mason went out sick

Simmons has West favored by 45pts... I don't think it will be that big... but... I do think they win convincingly. Simmons has West playing the 9th toughest schedule in the state so far... Bad weather is perfect for the Titans ground & pound offensive line. RB Chaplin should have a massive game. QB Bert Rice should be able to work on the passing game as long as the wind somewhat holds off. Defense needs to hold Parkland under 10pts.

Just in case y'all didn't know SMC is one of the top conferences in football in the History of NC HS Football! They many have many State Championship Rings that no one will ever match! My hats of to all those great teams from the past! Please SMC guys post Ships and accolades here so we can be in awe of past HS Football History!
