East Lincoln 54
Monroe 20

The Mustangs simply dominated. Monroe didn't have a crowd at all (we're an hour from Monroe, and had more people show up). Up next, West Davidson.

Other scores over here:

Maiden 20
Owen 13

North Lincoln 38
Bandys 34
Bandys led 28-24. North scored with about a minute left (31-28). Bandys gets the ball, and scores with 20 seconds left (34-31). They kick the kickoff short, but one of North's players gets it, and runs it back (38-34).

Hickory Vs. Charlotte Catholic next week.

With Butler winning tonight, the big game next week will be the Butler Vs. Independence rematch. I wonder if they'll play it at Butler, or back in Memorial Stadium again.

11/10/2007 1:28:56 AM

^ The Charlotte-Mecklenburg system will almost certainly require Butler to move the game to Memorial Stadium, as they did to Indy last week, when the Indy-Butler game was supposed to be in Mint Hill.

There are some great match-ups next week...

4AA East second round
#7 Leesville Road (11-1) at #2 Wake Forest-Rolesville (12-0) -- a rematch of the Cap-7 title game
#6 Fay. Jack Britt (10-2) at #3 Hope Mills South View (12-0) -- Cumberland County's two best teams
#9 Millbrook (9-3) at #1 Garner (12-0) -- these two played in a season-opening game
#5 Athens Drive (11-1) at #4 New Bern (10-2) -- the over/under should be about 90 points

4AA West second round
#10 Independence (10-2) at #2 Butler (10-2) -- They'll pack in nearly 20,000 for this one
#11 Scotland (10-2) at #3 East Burke (11-1) -- Two tough teams, perhaps both overlooked
#8 G'boro Grimsley (11-1) at #1 West Charlotte (11-1) -- WC will show that Charlotte still rules in HS FB
#12 East Meck (9-3) at #4 Richmond Co. (11-1) -- Richmond got killed at home by a second-tier Char. team last year

4A East second round
#7 Fuquay-Varina (11-1) at #2 So. Durham (8-4) -- Southern's athleticism scares me
#14 Chapel Hill (6-6) at #11 Smithfield-Selma (7-5) -- Two potential Cinderella teams meet
#8 Fay. Pine Forest (6-6) at #1 Wilm. Hoggard (11-0) -- I hope PF enjoyed winning their first game
#5 G'ville Rose (8-4) at #4 Durham Hillside (10-2) -- I think the Rampants' reign ends here

4A West second round
#10 Boiling Springs Crest (8-4) at #2 W-S Mt. Tabor (9-3) -- Crest is a sleeper to win this bracket
#11 Char. Ardrey-Kell (8-4) at #3 Gastonia Ashbrook (7-5) -- Ashbrook played a brutal schedule
#8 Cent. Cabarrus (5-7) at #1 Watauga Co. (9-3) -- CC won their first game by forfeit; they won't win in Boone
#5 Asheville AC Reynolds (8-3) at #4 Pembroke Purnell Swett (9-3) -- This has to be a 5-6 hour trip, one way, but the Rockets will bring a bunch of people with them. Since when is Robeson County in the west?

western alamance will finally win states this year after losing the championship game what feels like 20 years in a row

11/14/2007 11:13:17 AM

Western Alamance will win the States this year if the offense shows up. Which they have not the last 2 games. They scored the first TD with less than 2 minutes in the game against Dudley and couldn't put but 21 points on the 16th seed in the first round playoff game. The defense put up the other 21. The offense is the best I have ever seen but teams are starting to figure that offense out. Dudley watched film on West Virgina to prepare for our offense and they held us scoreless in the first 45 minutes of the game.

Rocky Mount is no joke this year. I work up in the press box for Western Alamance at home games and the big talk all year has been Rocky Mount.

[Edited on November 14, 2007 at 2:16 PM. Reason : ]

11/14/2007 2:14:46 PM

we played rocky mount in like week five, even though we (hertford) were too young to compete against them, they did have some flaws, at least defensively.

We ran a long of wishbone type stuff and if we had a couple more catches, score would have been like 60-42

11/14/2007 3:09:56 PM

South View...doing work, son.

11/14/2007 3:30:47 PM

Ah!..hertford...we play y'all tonight. Should be a good game if y'all can do some ball control.

11/16/2007 8:14:03 AM

I'm going to watch Fuquay-Varina at Southern Durham. This is an interesting match-up of Fuquay's power football and stingy run defense against Southern's great athletes on both sides of the ball.

It should be great football weather...upper 30's and light winds at game time.

Now, Independence may have an issue. One of their corners sat tonight due to questions about his eligibility. It's being looked into right now. South Meck had to forfeit last week b/c of an ineligible player. Indy could be next.

Just talked to someone at the New Bern v. Leesville Road Game. They said they left the game w/ approximately 1:45 left to play. New Bern had the ball w/ a new set of downs and was up 20-10. Looks like it'll be New Bern vs. West Charlotte/Charlotte Independence winner in the 4-AA Championship next Saturday in Winston-Salem.

East had their chances, but couldn't convert. Turnovers, and some suspect penalties, and no calls didn't help either. But it was a good season for them, and next year looks pretty good too. All the other scores are up, so no need for me to put any on here.
