MY PICKS (3-0 Last Week) 31-8 Season
East Duplin @ South Lenoir
The Panthers looks like they're on the right track after a blow out win over NL last week. This week i don't see no difference, they will run over SL 64-0

(8)JAMES KENAN @ NORTH LENOIR
My Tigers survived a scare from Kinston last Friday night to remain undefeated. The only undefeated team left in the conference. That doesn't hold any weight going to Lagrange, cause NL took down the last unbeaten conference foe(WRH) that stroll into town. And NL comes in to this one after a beat down at East Duplin, and will be looking for another upset. I don't think the Hawks will fly high enough to stay out of reach of my Tigers. JK 42-6

GAME OF THE WEEK
KINSTON @ WALLACE ROSE HILL
This one is a hard one to call! Can Wallace defend the pass, and will Kinston make enough stops to walk away victorious out of the Dog Pound. I look for the Bulldogs to keep this one on the ground all night, cause Kinston has a hard time stopping the run. Kinston is very much improved, and they will let it fly. Their qb is smart, and they have athletes all around him. Who will come out of this one in control of 2nd place in the ECC? I got Wallace in a min shootout 36-33.

I'm assuming this game will be over by the second quarter. Still....what are your thoughts...

Post them here!

The turf in Pisgah Memorial stadium looks good! A few other things need to be checked out, but there is a chance we could play a game in the stadium before the season ends. More details soon.😉

GAME OF THE WEEK
KINSTON @ (10)JAMES KENAN

MY PICKS (2-1 Last Week) 28-8 Season
South Lenoir @ SWO
First year coach at SL is struggling to move the ball on offense, and their defense isn't stopping anyone. The Stallions are in similar state, as they have only won one game on the season. SWO gets their first conference win of the season 41-12 over the Blue Devils.
North Lenoir @ East Duplin
NL coming into this game after upsetting (19)WRH in Lagrange last week 18-15. The Hawks has turned their season around after an 0-3 start. ED comes into this game after a bye, and it's going to be interesting to see how the Panthers respond after their loss to Kinston 52-22 two weeks ago. The Hawks has proved me wrong these last three weeks, so it's difficult for me to pick against them again. But I think the Panthers will come out clicking on offense and will overwhelm the Hawks 38-16

KINSTON @ JAMES KENAN
The red hot Vikings is on a five game winning streak, and is undefeated at the top of the ECC. Their halftime adjustments has been the difference during this winning streak, especially on defense. JK comes into this game destroying anyone, and anything that's in their way. This game will be a mid-season exam for the Tigers 🐅. Whose defense will take control of the game will be key. Somebody's conference 0 has to go! I think the Tigers will ace this exam 35-6.

Camden County will be crossing the Pasquotank this Friday night to face the best 2a team in the state. This is gonna be a tough match for Northeastern because the Bruins are coached by former Northeastern assistant Ernest Sutton. Camden is coming off a tough loss to a surging First Flight team that is playing better than it has in a long time. The Bruins will do their best to make a game of it but this years Northeastern team is just to loaded. I have the Eagles winning comfortably 67-0.

Their record should reflect 5-0; however, they narrowly lost one game by a single point. They could be a potential underdog that deserves more attention. Is West Charlotte truly performing at a high level?

First and foremost Godspeed to all affected by this storm. The damage, destruction, & loss of life in WNC is breathtaking even from afar!!! I wanted to start this thread as a place for information & more importantly prayer. Use it to check in, relay information both personal & team wise. My suspicion is there will be multiple seasons delayed, revised, or cancelled in the Mnts & possibly some in the foothills. While we all are passionate about football and our teams, it becomes secondary when you have a tragedy of this nature and magnitude. Sorry for the long post and again bless all you who have been affected both directly & indirectly.

On paper NW is better but CHS has to be wanting a comeback after last weeks game.

Board Actions for Fall Season Modifications​

CHAPEL HILL – The North Carolina High School Athletic Association's Board of Directors met to discuss options for concluding the Fall Sports Season including the postseason calendar. These discussions were necessitated by the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina.



“Changes to the fall calendar are difficult as well as complex but necessary,” said NCHSAA President Dr. Stephen Gainey and NCHSAA Commissioner Que Tucker in a joint statement. “Keeping our student-athletes safe as we try to minimize risk of injury was central to any decisions made. We commend the work of the NCHSAA staff in its research, the Board of Directors in making time to consider these changes and the willingness of our host partners to accommodate any changes and make their venues available.”
