Good week for the conference, going 6-3 with no big surprises.
Eastern Alamance 41 Southern Alamance 7: Eagles only led 7-0 at the half, but turned on the jets after the break cruising to a 41-7 victory. Never know what you're gonna get in a rivalry game, and it appears Southern came to play in the opening frame. EA defense again looks good limiting the Patriots to under 150 yards of offense, while racking up over 500 of their own.
Northern Guilford 21 Northwest Guilford 13: The rumors of the Nighthawks demise have been greatly exaggerated. Northern's defense proved solid against a NW team that had put up lots of points the previous two weeks. With CJ Freeman, and especially with Johnny Roscoe at the helm, you can't rule out Northern's chances to reclaim the conference crown.
Butler 45 Western Alamance 0: As expected, a one sided affair. Never a bad thing to try and challenge yourself, but I think the best case scenario in this game was that the Warriors walked away with no one injured. As long as that is the case, WA can be happy keeping the game under 50 and move onto conference play next week.
Eastern Guilford 17 Broughton 13: Wildcats go to Raleigh and get a victory over a winless Broughton team. Wildcats will have the week off next week before playing host to NE Guilford.
Reidsville 31 Morehead 21: Maybe the best chance for the Panthers to get a victory over Reidsville for the first time in years does not come to fruition. Sounds like the Rams forced several turnovers and Morehead could never mount a serious challenge in this one.
Williams 24 Cummings 21: Battle of Burlington came down to the wire with Williams scoring a touchdown with about two minutes left to secure the victory. Bulldogs seemed to be in good shape but two Cavs TD's in about two minutes in the fourth quarter forced Williams into comeback mode. Gets considerably harder the next three weeks with the Bulldogs playing the three kings of the conference, Nothern, Western and Eastern back to back to back.
McMichael 43 Martinsville 36: Two wins in a row for the Phoenix. For a team that only won one game over the last two years that is a good sign. They will have to play Eastern Alamance next week so the celebration might be short lived, but there are positive signs for the program.
Rockingham County 41 Eastern Randolph 24: After suffering close losses the last two weeks, the Cougars used a 20 point fourth quarter to finally break through in the win column. Three winnable games coming up for RC, who will try and get back in the playoffs this year. First up is NE Guilford next week.
Ragsdale 48 NE Guilford 42 OT: Rams came close to notching their first victory of the season, battling it out with 4A Ragsdale, but could not pull it out in the end. NE will try and carry that momentum over into conference play next week.
