wpaq740.com. airtime 7:00. H & H auto sales game of the week

My nephew , Willie Frank Bennett IV , was injured last night . He is still in the hospital in Rockingham with tear in both lungs. The Raider trainer has been in touch with the family. My mother is with him now. They have not heard from Coach Castellano.

Gray's Creek @ Douglas Byrd, GC 35-14

Lee County @ Westover, LC 28-20

Union Pines @ Southern Lee, SL 34-17

Gray's Creek runs past Douglas Byrd. Lee County whips Westover. Southern Lee upends Union Pines.

1-0 Tuesday night (10/21), 2-1, Friday night, 40-10 overall.

Everyone has had this game circled on their calendar since the preseason. Thoughts on the game? What does each team have to do to win? Tons of talent will be on the field Friday.

What's up with Butler? Are all their players back for good? What in the world happened that got them suspended for a month?

.

After what the head coach called an embarrassing game vs Washington, SWE bounced back by dominating the second half in route to defeating Farmville Central on the road 35-20.
FC came out on fire in the first quarter, while SWE looked as if it was still feeling the shock of last week's game. The Cougar offense could not get a thing going, while the Jaguar offense sliced through SWE for gains of 6 to 7 yards per carry. After a 50 yard td scamper by FC, SWE was down 0-14 early in the second before finding some life with a 59 yard TD pass to cut the deficit to 7-14. FC went up 20-7 before SWE scores with 12 seconds left in the half to go into the break down 14-20.
SWE comes out in the second half and dominates, stopping everything that was working so well for FC in the first half. After being ran through in the first half, SWE's run defense shuts the door and the offense woke up as well. The win for SWE proved ultra important because coupled with Washington's shocking loss to Beddingfield, the EPC championship is once again within reach. I'm just glad that the team responded the way that they did. After being down 7-20, we went on a 28-0 run to close the game. Honestly, after that first quarter, I thought we were in for a long one. Next week at North Johnston.

SWE 0 14 7 14 = 35

Lincolnton 52- Newton-Conover 0- Newton had -22 yards rushing mid third quarter. I think that is three games of about 151-8 in scores over the last two years. Newton 1-4 in conference.

Bandys 38- Bunker Hill 16- yes someone is worse than Bandys. First win for Bandys. 0-5 BH in conference.

East Lincoln 49- West Caldwell 13- the big dogs blow out another good team. Maiden vs EL showdown next week.

Maiden up big over West Lincoln but no final yet.

Fact is u never talk about the game u just like.getting on here and putting down people u don't even know. GO BeARS!

Great win by the Raiders Friday night ....Lets pass out some game balls.....Will pass out a few more this week than the usual 3.......#1 game ball to #2..Early pick 6 set the tone.......Game ball #2 to # 20 the Kicker...42 yard fg, 3 ko in the zone and great onside kick.....Lets give game ball #3 to #35 for some big hits and great leadership.......Game ball #4 to #6 for great effort on several runs , very impressive..........Game ball #5 to #88 for some great catches and yards after catch..........Game ball #6 to #23 who continues to be impressive running the ball even though he had 2-3 long ones called back......Lets get ready for the petriots......nuff said...

These boys are always tough in the trenches an are well coached. I recently seen a big lineman who said he plays for them I wonted to know how do you catholic fans think your team will do this season? Expectations real or non realistic welcomed?

Who would have ever believed this! We go to UA fri night and play them with idencial records 2-7. And guess what! We both beat the same 2 teams CC and SD. Never in a million years would I ever thought this possible. lol

I've now seen both teams play. I saw Fairmont two weeks ago at Fairmont as they beat my Vikings 56-0. Tornadoes were up 46-0 at the half and could have scored more. At our homecoming game on Friday verses Red Springs, the announcer said that it was 38-0 at the end of the first quarter in the South Columbus and Fairmont game. I was truly blown away that Fairmont had put the game away before the end of the 1st QTR. Was anyone at that game to clarify if it was truly that "out of hand?" Red Springs doesn't seem quite impressive after I have seen them play, especially since we just seemed desperate to win and made a bunch of bonehead plays, but they have a will to win as well. Their defense is the most impressive that I have seen in terms of being overly aggressive, but can they hold Fairmont's fast receivers and stay disciplined against a very dynamic offense? Who wins this showdown in Red Springs on Friday Night? In the meantime, I just hope we can "escape" with a win at South Robeson.

on the schedule portion of ncpreps it shows when u click on Clinton that overall Clinton is 6-1, they are actually 7-1 based on the games played and wins shown on the schedule posted. Just didn't know if u would want to know that to change it.

Ok...I will start the thread. If Williams plays...35-8 NS. If Williams doesn't play...22-17 AHS.

With two games left of the season, there is no clear cut winner of the ECC. Both Croatan and East Duplin sit undefeated (3-0) in conference play and North Brunswick and Northside Jax have dropped one game (2-1).

East Duplin's remaining schedule consists of: Home vs. Croatan on October 30th and AT North Brunswick on November 6th.

Croatan's remaining schedule: AT East Duplin on Oct 30th and AT Dixon on Nov 6th

North Brunswick:Home vs. Northside-Jax on Oct 30th and Home vs. East Duplin on Nov 6th

Northside Jax: AT North Brunswick on Oct 30th and Home vs. SWO on Nov 6th

I think the winner of the conference is decided in Beulaville this week. But then again, North Brunswick has two home games to close out the season. I'd really like to say my Panthers win out and take the conference, but that's gonna be a tough one. If Croatan wins Friday night, it should be a cake walk to the title. Hmm that's interesting, when's the last time Croatan won a conference title in football?

So the question remains, who takes the ECC title this year???

Wacky wacky game.
East Gaston never trailed, we scored 56 offensive points and had 2 TD's called back. Adams, Spurling and Washington each over 100+ yards rushing. Adams another 100+ passing.
Our defense was equally offensive, we can not defend the triple option!
Neither team punted or had an offensive turnover.
Both teams recovered two onside kicks.
Refs were some of the worst I've seen all year, maybe worse than last week.
Oh yeah, it was also our homecoming so that lasted another 25 minutes!

I AM CURIOUS TO KNOW WHO WILL BE THE NEXT TO JOIN THESE ELITE COACHES

Do you remember the season in 2004? What conference where you guys in? 4-A Southwestern?

This game will be played on East Columbus High School. It is a road game where anything can happen, specially being that Fairmont is on the road. I hope the weather, the game, the officials and all the football team elements walk on one line.

Let's all join this game and pray for the players who have to go on to the grounds of a physical game.

Thoughts?

It will be homecoming at Ron Greene Stadium Friday night. We all thought going into the season this game would be all but a sure win but injuries have made this game a toss-up. Bulldogs will be fighting for their playoff lives. GO BULLDOGS!!!

We all know Andrews probably takes conference championship this year. This conference has got very interesting with ER losing to PG and ER playing Andrews this week. Randleman still has to play ER this year. Wheatmore is lurking behind the seen. If Trinity pulls upset this week then it puts them in the mix. I would like to see how people think the conference plays out this year 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.
