-Draughn at East Burke: The Cavaliers have played a couple of good teams and I'd like to see them win, but I'll have to go with Draughn by 6
-East Rutherford at Newton-Conover: I like both teams from days gone by. The Cavaliers got my attention when they played TC Roberson close. East Rutherford by 7
-West Lincoln at Foard: Normally, I would have some wiseass quip about West Lincoln since they're an intra-county school, but a couple of weeks ago I learned that their athletic director is a young man that I've known since he was a child and he is truly a fine person, so in deference to him, I won't...West Lincoln by 12
-West Caldwell at Hibriten: If I'm right about how it would look on a map, the guys on the East side of town (Hibriten) over the guys from the west side of town (West Caldwell), by at least 21...I also think Hibriten could beat a lot of teams, and this has little to do with them besting us in a recent scrimmage.
-Bunker Hill at Randleman: Both are top ten teams in the 2A polls, and BH has to make the long trek to the center of the state. Might be the game of the week. Bears over the Tigers by 8
-Maiden at Watauga: If the Blue Devils pull this one off, AMD will crow like a big rooster, but if the Pioneers win he'll lapse into a deep lethargy, and we'll all have to poke and prod and pull at him to get him back to normal. If any of us in the CVAC could beat Watauga it's probably Maiden or Bunker Hill, unfortunately, they're a 4A school and more than not it makes a difference, Watauga by 10
East Lincoln at Lincolnton: Khuhh, they're back. Lincolnton by 1
