Ledford vs North Davidson
Central Davidson vs Oak Grove
Asheboro vs Montgomery Central
Well here we are. Just one week left before conference season ends and playoff season begins. It has been a very interesting year, with some teams starting off slow and hitting their stride late, and others looking dominant before falling off.
North has already secured first place, but I don't anticipate a letdown effort-wise. It's rivalry week and the Knights should have no trouble getting up for Ledford. The Panthers are sitting pretty in the RPI rankings used for playoffs, but they will fight hard to earn their playoff spot and not just back in. I know Ledford has injury problems and their defense is not up to par compared to past years, but I don't expect an easy win. That QB is still a real weapon for them. I'm calling for ND to win a tight one, maybe seal it in the latter stages of the game.
Central and OG could be interesting, depending on Central's defense. They gave up 34 to Ledford, 33 to Randleman and 52 to ND this year. OG is not as explosive as North but should be able to score plenty imo. Spartan offense is great but if they get called for holding to kill a drive or lay the ball on the ground and let OG get a couple scores up, it's over. Central will have to keep pace possession for possession to win.
MC and Aboro is interesting if only to find out who the truly terrible and worst team in the conference is. I'll give Aboro a slight edge because of athletes, but it really guarantees nothing when you're not fundamentally sound...
