Should be a good game. These two have a lot of history producing great games with each other.

With Clinton having departures of the coaching staff and their best players, who comes out the east ? Also, will they still be the favorite in their conference or will St Pauls become the topic of conversation?

Reidsville obviously did not need Kendre Harrison in order to be successful this season. After he decided to leave why was it so easy for him to return after playing three games at PD. I don’t see many teams accepting a player back who jumped ship for what they thought was s better situation.

North Davidson at Watauga
Oak Grove vs Hibriten
Ledford vs Providence Grove
Central Davidson at Eastern Randolph
Montgomery Central vs Piedmont
Asheboro vs Randleman

Here we are... nonconference action almost over except next week.

North has a big hill (mountain) to climb in this one. They go to Boone to face the powerful Pioneers of Watauga. Last years game was a real bloodletting and I honestly don't think it will be much different this year... thank God for that miracle win last Friday and for the bye week coming up cause I feel North is going to need it.

Oak Grove welcomes Hibriten, who is usually very good but appears to be down the last couple years... the Grizzlies are revving at full throttle after the West Forsyth game and should take this one as well imo.

Ledford scored another win against weak competition last weak, beating East 51-42 in a track meet. They get another opportunity for a win against PG. We shall see how that goes... the offense has finally shown up for the Panthers the last two weeks but with the exception of Wheatmore the defense has been nonexistent this year.

Montgomery Central takes on Piedmont, who has only one win but against better competition than MC has faced. MC may be able to get another win before conference play starts... they really have improved alot the past two years.

Aboro has also improved but they have rival Randleman coming to town. I'm not sure they can handle the Tigers but I am impressed with the job their coach has done. Aboro may just be able to get a conference win this year... time will tell.

I think East Forsyth will end this with a running clock, too much firepower after annihilating AC Reynolds in the mountains. Reagan lost the QB so I don't see this close.

Anyone have some insight? Controversial head coaching hire. Head scratcher to be honest. Can he make the rest of his staff buy into the plan? Or this be the principal’s worst hire ever?

Both teams are 3-0 coming into this game what's your prediction?

Let’s Go!!!

Conference time is here for the Eastern Plains, and what better way to start off than a matchup with an explosive offense in FC vs the team picked to win the conference. Last season, SWE handed the high flying Jaguars their first loss in a 54-48 barn burner. Later that year, the 9-2 Jags visited SWE in round 2 of the playoffs, just to be sent home with a 55-12 butt shining. FC is once again coming into this matchup undefeated and once again with a potent offense. They've only given up 32 points in four games, and their coach, a Frank Beamer (Va Tech) product said that this is the best defense they've had since he's been coaching there. SWE started out on fire offensively, but have struggled to find the end zone in its last two outings (15 and 14 respectfully). Both of those teams have great defenses, so it'll be interesting to see if this FC defense is as good as they are saying they are over in Farmville. My money is on the good guys at home, 34-22.

Game of interest here in Independent league. Ruban Gap will take on a team called Hun from Princeton, New Jersey. Any thoughts with this one

Week 5 - Picks in by 5:00 on Thursday

1. Carson at West Rowan
2. Clayton at Fuquay-Varina
3. JH Rose at Jacksonville
4. James Kenan at East Duplin
5. Hickory at East Lincoln
6. Rosman at Avery
7. Salisbury at Thomasville
8. South Stokes at Elkin
9. Vance County at Southern Durham
10. West Forsyth at Mount Tabor

BONUS: Mallard Creek at West Charlotte

I just watch the interview HC Brad Baker on WRAL website. Elkin has 17 players returning and players with experience. Not saying Elkin will be world beaters in 2024. Looking at their schedule they might can win 4 or 5 games at the most this season. Any other thoughts?

Mooresville is coming off a Bye. Last win was a 66pt rout of West Rowan. Mooresville RB in Jadarius McCombs is having a great season so far for the Blue Devils run game. Mooresville have some key targets in Barber (Former CM player) and Morin. Defense will play well esp with the speed of #4 for Cox Mill.

Cox Mill: 3rd QB has a great arm. #4 is by far the best player on CM roster. Cox mill will have clean up the penalties and make better play then a 69-27 thrashing at the hands of Hickory. Cox mill isn’t a bad team but having a tough schedule and injuries hurt them.

Mooresville 35 Cox Mill 17

I’ll be in attendance for this one - First time seeing Crest or Catholic n first time at Sid Bryson stadium

What a good place to eat at ?

Anyway

This is a very intriguing matchup and I’m looking forward to see what Crest has to offer as we know Catholic will be more ball control n run it down your throat.

This will be a good test for teams n see where they are.

Post those scores as they happen!

NW Guilford – 34
W Guilford – 14

Ragsdale – 13
N Guilford – 30

Grimsley – 49
SE Guilford – 7

Page – 55
SW Guilford – 12

W Forsyth – 17
Mt Tabor – 27

E Forsyth – 69
Reagan – 21

Davie – 32
RJ Reynolds – 17

This is a huge game that’s flying under the radar this week. Who’s going to come out on top? West and HP Central both boast high-powered offenses, with each team averaging over 30 points per game. Who will win this shootout? The winner will have the inside track to challenge Reidsville for the Mid-State 2A title.

I'm backing the King Wildcats for this one. West has unveiled new uniforms, featuring "King" across the jerseys as part of their City Connect series. The big question is: can Andrews keep up with the "big boys" from King?

What are your thoughts?
