Wallace @ East Duplin

[TD Pass2]

In my opinion, this IS the Game of the Week in the East. Let's get the conversation started....

Both teams are 7-1 and 4-0 in conference. Still two games left in the regular season, but this game could determine the conference champion as well as a top seed in the playoffs.

East Duplin is averaging 51.5 points a game compared to WRH's 48.25. Both defenses are allowing around 14 points a game on average. East Duplin is 4-0 at home and Wallace is 2-0 on the road.

East Duplin is led by RB Avery Gaby (140 y/g avg.) while Wallace is led by RB Corbin Kerr (119 y/g avg.) After reviewing the stats on MaxPreps, Wallace has 4 rushers with at least 450+ yards this season. Impressive.

The differences in this game IMO will be: Can ED pass effectively and how well can the Bulldogs defend it? Can ED stop the Bulldogs stable of running backs?

Both teams are hungry, talented, well coached, and will bring it Friday night. I'm hoping for a great, injury-free game. I'll take my Panthers in a close one. ED by 7.

This will be the game of the week in the east.... Wrh will look to avenge a loss from last year to the Panthers and ED will look to knock off a rival for the second straight year and possibly vie for the top seed in the east 2-a portion of the playoffs... For the Panthers win and you got the conference again for another year... Lose and you need jk to beat wrh the week after for a three way tie...

What u mean avenge a lost from last year? They did that by beating ED in the playoff last year weather conference championship or not lol

 

[TheBuckMaster]

Imma go ED by 3, 31-28

 

[Otis4411]

Yep this will be the game to watch in the East. Wish I could go but I have other plans with the wife. We will be in Manteo for the bluegrass festival.

Granted the win last year was alot sweeter for the dogs but I'm pretty sure they still want to avenge last year's defeat for the conference championship which I know that game is still in the minds of the dogs this year... Before the season each high school football coaches goal for each team is to 1.start the season healthy 2.win your first game 3.win the conference championship 4. Make the playoffs (if you win the championship then most of the time you in the playoffs) and get the best seed possible 5.Win the Regionals 6.Win the state championship game!

Might be the game of the week in the entire 2a, possibly state, depending on the other games in the state.

I really thought the Leesville Road game was on the road. I wanted to see that game. Good thing I didn't go lol. Did Wallace really start the season with 5 straight home games? Well then lol.

 

[oldway55]

I posted this on another thread but tickets for this game go on sell Monday at the schools. Be a packed house

Leesville was supposed to be away but their field wasn’t ready

 

[SWO-WA]

What a matchup! Good luck to both teams.

I don't think there will be much smack talked before this game by Wallace or East Duplin fans because both know it could go either way. Don't think either team will blow-out the other. Most likely it will be whoever makes the least mistakes wins. I believe if anyone talks much smack it will be outsiders.

We got all week oldway

I’ll keep it civil as long as those on the other side of the river keeps it that way. 😂

This side of the river will try to be civil 😂😂

 

[Thegame033]

It will be fun... Might actually determine who gets the 1 seed in the playoffs...

 

[Orangecrush95]

No need barking them Dogs are biting. Team is back healthy I am looking a good game. ED is well coached team. I like them Dogs by 14 points. I am looking a game about like the Clinton game with the same result.

 

[TD Pass2]

I can see WRH winning, but not by two TDs.

Don’t think crush understands this rivalry

 

[Orangecrush95]

Don’t think crush understands this rivalry

I understand the rivalry, also I understand the game of football. Nothing against ED I just feel WRH is the better team. I don’t think ED can stop the ground assault from Wrh

 

[Tiger_Pride21]

This game will come down to coaching. What will ED do to make up for their lack of team speed to keep up with Wallace? And how soon will Wallace make adjustments to counter that? I'll be pulling for the dogs 🐕 in this one, just so that my Tigers 🐅 can get another shot at the conference crown 👑.
Dogs 24
Panthers 14

 

[Jamesdavis06]

13 to 10 anybody's game

 

[WrhDog448]

3 point game that could go either way.
I'd slow the game down and try to get at least 3 yards a down to keep ED off of the field. Coaching is going to be the difference in this game. Rooting hard for the Dogs!

Senior night for ED

Nope. Did that at Homecoming

East Duplin is senior heavy. I expect ED to play their best game. WRH and ED will probly play again in playoffs but to this point this game means everything. Big time high school football game around these parts. Oldway, what do you think attendance will be?

 

[oldway55]

JK and Southwest playing each other will hurt some.. It was packed at the regular season game at Wallace last year but probably more at the playoff game at ED because no of the others were playing. I'm still think probably 4000. Opening the gates at 5

I'm not oldway but I expect 3-5000, we've had about 5,000 in attendance in the past when Wallace came to ED.

I know what you're saying but who wants to watch JK obliterate SWO. Other than parents of the players, most folks will come see the Showdown of the East

 

[oldway55]

79 I do think there's a good chance we see each other again too. No matter how it goes Friday

Gates are opening at 5? Do you know what time the tickets go on sale tomorrow?

Fact 🤷🏾‍♂️ I agree

 

[oldway55]

I guess first thing in the morning. Once school starts. Yes gates will open at 5 Friday. Edit to this just saw tickets on sale from 9am to 2 pm at ED. Probably the same at WRH.

I picked ED to win the conference when the season started, and although my Bulldogs are better than I thought I will go with my brain and not my heart and say ED wins this one in a close one. This is their year to make do some damage in the playoffs, along with WRH. ED wins at home in a close one. I will be very happy to be wrong in this one.
