Ok fellas closer to conference play and looking interesting as we go. My pre conf predictions aren’t going too close to what I predicted or anyone else for that matter.
What’s shaping up now is that WL is threating, Bandys better than some musta thought, Maiden still good IMO but not CO sweet 16 calibure, EL and Lincolnton can still battle it out but looking like East has the favor in that one. Newton can still play but you can tell a huge difference in performance since some people left, should take 3rd or 4th and 1st round loss (maybe) n then basketball and of course you can’t go counting North Lincoln out. Faced a powerhouse 1A team- prob shoulda won. Powerhouse 3A team- AC is just good hands down but what makes them questionable is the low point win against Foard. A wins a win and they’ll take it but can they do that against the rest of the South Fork? So let’s hear it

Newton and Hibriten- won’t be the edge of your seat possible upset like last year. Think Hickory messed em up? In comes Witherspoon and crew- Hibriten 58 Newton 7.

Bessemer city and NL- close loss last year by the Knights, like with Foard I expect a bounce back and much needed win- NL 35 BC 21.


WL and EBurke- if EB gets their main players back to health it could be an ok game for a quarter or 2. Can’t possibly see how West messed this one up last year but ain’t happening this year. Years and years past this game woulda been a joke. The Cavs are no were near the hardnose blue collar family boys they were from 09’ and back. WL easily 42 EB 14(if lucky)

EL and EG- go fishing or go to another game or something. Keep starters out no need to injuries. Practice alittle for playoffs. EL 49 EG 0

Bandys and Hickory- ought to be a game of the week. If FFN ain’t there something’s wrong. Could go either way but I give Hickory the edge in a nailbitter Hickory 28 Bandys 21.
 
I would too. I didn’t figure Bandys would stay down long. They never do. Good to see Hickory take back off to their old selves.

Hibriten by how much ever they want
BC 21-14
WL by 3 scores or so
EL by a ton
I'll go with Hickory by a touchdown

I’m with ya on all those except the NL game. BC ain’t as good as last year and North I’m sure has their number if they played Thomas Jefferson as tough as they did who is also a 1A team like BC and is prob ranked.

I just think BC has a little more experience on how to close games out. Must win game for North though heading into conference play
 
Hibriten-49, Newton Conover-10
Bessemer City-28, North Lincoln-24
West Lincoln-45, East Burke-13
East Lincoln-41, East Gaston-7
Bandys-24, Hickory-21

North did have a tendency to let off the gas last year in games that shoulda been won. Prob the best 2 win team around considering they hung right with a young but sorta talented ACentral who this year has those same guys back and is getting some rised eye brows by the Charlotte Observer.

North got beat down hard last week by a successful ACentral team that I’m sure will end up being state ranked in 3A very soon if not already. Which can show that when lining up with BC they have the slight edge. I believe they have the closure power this year that they didn’t have last year. At least more of it. How will they finish overall in conference, it’s really hard to tell at this point considering their 1 win game against a winless Foard. Of course Foard is gonna get cupcake with rest of their schedule excluding the Hibriten hurrican that’ll hit em.

Still going with a North win by at least 2 scores. Cribb wasn’t getting the college looks he had for nothing and should carry them to victory in this one.
 
I called all these games just like they happened. Was being generous that EB woulda scored on WL at all. Their first real test comes next Friday and it oughta be a barn burner with them and North. Battle of the running backs for sure.

Hickory and Bandys I said that’d be close and if 1 pt ain’t close enough I don’t know what to tell ya. Bandys is the real deal this year and both them and Hickory are gonna be a force in conference play.

You guys doubted me big time on North and BC. I tried to tell ya wolf ha ha. Of course BC ain’t what they was last year so I’m not trying to promote NL as being a conf contender and deep playoff runner. Defense has stepped up looks like but was that against below avg offenses?

EL taking care of business too and Newton game, well we expected that. I been posting on some of Hibritens post to get Mallard Creek or Hough or Catholic on the schedule. This year woulda been the time to do it, next year forget it man. Will be a good matchup but losing Wittherspoon is a major drowgrade
 
After looking through the schedules of the conference teams I'm not sold on Bandys or West. They have both played probably the weakest nonconfernece schedule out of anybody
