Got across the state to watch the Mallard Creek/Watauga classic, but spent some time viewing some films of other games around the state this weekend. Down in Robbins, I watched some of the NM/Bertie game. There was almost an all-out brawl before the game even started. Bertie players were jumping and jawing all at the 50-yard line while NM players looked on rather bewilderedly. Eventually the refs and coaches separated the two teams. More jawing from Bertie early on before NM rolled out to a 29-0 lead. Then it was pretty much quiet for the rest of the butt-kicking. Anyone know what the devil sparked all that? I don't believe the two have ever played so there's no rivalry issue. Heck, on the map they're nowhere near each other.
