Anyone want to chime in on who wins these games Friday night?
Ashbrook @ Hunter Huss
Lake Norman Charter @ North Gaston
Ashbrook @ Hunter Huss
On paper and on the field, the Green Wave should win with more talent available to them than Huss. Also, Ashbrook doesn't want to be embarrassed again as they were last week, but their record against poorer competition favors Huss. Plus, it's the bell game. Do the Huskies have more heart than the Green Wave? However, I admit to a bit of Schadenfreude when it comes to Ashbrook and would love for them to lose to the Huskies. What the heck - I can almost guarantee that whichever one I pick to win will lose - Ashbrook by 7.
Lake Norman Charter @ North Gaston
Most of the computer models say North Gaston. Factors favoring the Wildcats - if they play a near perfect game, they can chew up some serious yards on the ground and put points on the board. The Knights offense is not robust enough to overcome that.
With a #1 seed in the 2A division on the line, LNC has more to gain than NG has to lose. If they can catch the Wildcats on an off-night, their defense may be enough to keep them in the game. Game is a toss-up, but I think the Knights pull this one off by 3.
