Since my team has a bye week, I figured I'd take this game in, since it can determine a lot in the Eastern Plains Conference. A WC win could set up a showdown for a winner-takes-all finale with SWE. A FC win could set up a 3 way tie for first place, if WC defeats SWE in the finale.
6-1 Farmville Central has a lights out offense that leads the state (2A) in points by a wide margin. But why aren't they in anyone's top 10? It's because those 6 wins come against teams that are a combined 7-31. And one of those 7 wins was a forfeit. The one time they did play an average team (SWE), they lost. Even then, they still scored 48 points. However, the SWE defense is near the bottom of the state in points allowed. I just don't know how they would fair vs a team that is at the very least decent on both sides of the ball.
The thing about 3-3 West Craven is their 3 wins have come again 3 of the same teams FC faced and beat. However, their 3 losses (defending 2A champion East Duplin, formerly defending 4A champions New Bern, and powerhouse 3A Havelock) would have been 3 losses for anyone. Therefore, I have 0 idea if West Craven is good, bad, or somewhere in the middle.
I think both teams will keep the scorekeeper busy, with Farmville emerging 40 something to 30 something. 41-35 is my guess. Could be a 3 way tie for conference supremacy in the end for the EPC.
Any opinions on this game?
