One of the biggest games in the state (excluding Shelby and SP) will be played in Clinton, NC on Friday night when ED comes to town. Here’s what’s at stake:
1. A conference title. If ED wins, they take the title with no implications. If Clinton wins, it’s a 3-way tie for 1st place.
2. Playoff seeding. I think both of these teams get in the playoffs no matter the outcome, but where they land will be the difference in winning and losing. If ED wins, they most certainly are a top seed for the playoffs and Clinton should still sneak into a mid to bottom spot. If Clinton wins, it gets real messy. Drawing straws to see who wins the title (ED has had their fair share of the short straw) could be the difference in a top seed and a bottom seed for ED.
3. And finally, pride and bragging rights. One of our oldest rivals is a Darkhorse. These two teams have played some knock down, drag out instant classics in the past. The winner gets bragging rights and the chance for some conference hardware.
I’m gonna have to go with my Panthers on this one. But I will say, the fact that Clinton put up 22 points on WRH has me a wee bit weary lol. Hopefully, ED can find a way to win again like they have all season. This one has the makings of another classic. I’ll say ED 28-17
Let’s hear some predictions!
