Guys, Bunker Hill is pretty good. If we could stay within a six point spread there might be an opportunity. I hope you're right but even if you're not I appreciate the thought. I never pick against Lincolnton as a gesture of love for people who tolerate the likes of me but it will be tough. Us by 1.
-West Lincoln at Bandys: The Trojans can never be taken lightly but I give the edge to the Future farmers of America (if anyone doesn't know who that is, well, never mind) in a close one. I haven't forgot when you opened up the septic tank so us kindly visiting Lincolnton sorts had to smell it for an entire game. Then you went and said our bus ran over it and broke it open.
-Newton-Conover at West Caldwell: West gave Hibriten and South Caldwell a respectable game. Don't know any serious football fan who doesn't respect the Panthers, and I wouldn't overlook SC, either, who the Red Devils played close, too. This one, I think is a toss up but I'll take NC by 6.
-East Burke at Maiden: Really ? The team the Blue Devils beat last week would have a decent chance of beating half the top 10, 3A teams. I will always like and respect the Cavaliers because of long time NC Preps poster BurkeForReal, but Maiden has what it takes to go far; a potent offense ran by a smart quarterback, a viable passing and rushing game and a no quit defense, and they have speed, both ways. Sorry BFR, I saw these guys play last week and they're good.
