Heading into the last three regular season games the league is a battle of just a few teams from 3rd-5th for playoff wildcards. Salisbury 8-0 is the obvious choice and the 2A #1 seed. N Rowan has locked the 1A #1 and currently sits at 6-1 overall. Lexington 5-2 overall sitting in 3rd faces a gauntlet of Salisbury, N Rowan and Thomasville the last three weeks. Jackets are much improved and we will see how improved after this stretch run of games against three ranked teams. Thomasville is idle this week and stands at 5-3 overall but has gotten on an offensive roll outscoring the last two opponents 95-2 the last two weeks. Bulldogs have three losses to highly ranked 2A Randleman, 2A Salisbury and 1A top 5 NR and still have a very good defense that has allowed 48 defensive points in 8 games. South Davidson 3-5 has lost five straight after a 3-0 start. The Wildcats have faced five playoff teams in those losses but can salvage a 4-6 or a 5-5 season with wins over East and West Davidson. Cats have not beaten East maybe ever, but have beaten West lately so there is hope in Denton for a strong finish and playoff away game. East Davidson is currently 2-5 with games against SD, Thomasville and WD coming up. The Eagles struggles on defense continue but they should be able to get a win or two the last three weeks. West Davidson sits at 0-7 and just would like to find a way to get one win. Likely to not happen and an 0-10 is staring them in the the face for the 23 season.
This weeks games are mostly snoozers. Salisbury vs. Lexington will be a blowout for the Hornets. The Jackets are better but not ready for the Hornets. East vs. South is the best chance to see a competitive game. The Wildcats have faced the gauntlet of Lexington, N Rowan, Salisbury and Thomasville for four straight losses. The Easgles continue to show struggles with consistency and stopping opponents. Have the Wildcats been beaten into submission for the season after back to back blowout losses or can they upset the Eagles for what might be the first win in school history or atleast modern era win over the Eagles? I call it for ED in a pretty tight game. The last one is West vs. N Rowan. West will go to 0-9 after another smashing from NR and those speedy athletes.
Thomasville is idle with the bye week as they prepare for a local rival game next week with East.
