Very interesting last slate of games in the very last week of JV ball tonight.
In the MVAC East Wilkes is trying to go undefeated for their second straight season against a very stout West Wilkes team who's better than their record. Wilkes Central meanwhile has a down and out North Wilkes squad who has never recovered since the team was gutted and when they moved the Browns up to varsity. If East was to slip WC could share the title with a win this evening.
Also in the MVAC will be a hard hitting battle of the wings between Alleghany and Starmount; Starmount's rebounded well to close to a winning year after a rough go last year while the Trojans have struggled some but they have remained competitive. Also tonight will be a battle between Elkin and Ashe.
In the NW it's the battle of the Bears and the Cards tonight round 1. MA's reeling after an upset last week by Walkertown while East has breezed thru the year after nearly having their winning streak ended by North Surry and West Stokes in back to back weeks. If East wins they will win the NW with ease; if not there will be a split.
Also on the docket tonight is one final JV battle between Bishop and Walkertown who's walking on air after last week. The most interesting game in the conference will be the battle of Atkins vs. North Stokes. Atkins has competed with everyone all year and got a W vs. Bishop; while N Stokes has surprised some people and won twice with shutouts over Patrick County and surprisingly Walkertown. This one could be a barn burner.
In the WPAC tonight West Stokes is out to clinch the title for sure tonight over a back and forth Surry Central team. After giving up 57 to North Surry, Central went out and put up 48 on Forbush so who knows which team will show up.
North Surry has Forbush tonight who has had a rough season this year. This game will be interesting for two ways: if an upset was to happen in Dobson tonight and North wins the title will be split; but if not North still has something to play for as they can finish 8-2.
Lastly on the dockett is the battle of Carver and their lather, rense, and repeat JV offense vs. South Stokes and their stout defense. Before last week South held a lot of teams in check on defense and I wouldn't be surprised if this could be the case. South needs a statement win before going to 1A ball. If South can stop Carver's QB draw and run game that will say a lot early.
Hope everyone has fun tonight and a good evening to you.
