Week 2 - NCHSAA playoff picks....

So last week I went out on a limb and picked my winners for the first round games. Here are my picks from last week:

Havlock - X - lost to Washington 34-25
West Craven
SouthWest Edgecombe
Kinston
Oxford Webb
Rocky Mount
Eastern Alamance
Hertford County

- Not bad going 7-1 on my first week, but now the games get a little bit harder and will be tougher to call......so here goes.....


(7)Washington at (2)West Craven ---------- WEST CRAVEN
- undefeated West Craven isn't finished yet......

(6)SWE at (3)Kinston ---------- KINSTON
- SWE's last year in 3-A is finished by Kinston, who earned a victory over Nash Central last week....

(8)Oxford Webb at (1)Rocky Mount ---------- ROCKY MOUNT
- How can you go against the Gryphons? Anyone that hasn't seen them play this year should get out and do so...you have two home games left

(5)E. Alamance at (4)Hertford Co. ---------- HERTFORD CO.
-This seems to be a close match-up, but around RM, we haven't had good memories with a certain team from Alamance Co., so I'll pick against it's neighbor/rival school

Again this week, I will pick the 2-A East #1 seed Tarboro at home, this week against Franklinton. I do, however, think that 3-AA East #10 seed Wilson Fike will lose to #2-seeded Greensboro Dudley in Greensboro.

Rocky Mount showed last week that they could beat you with the big play, the long drive, the run, and the pass. If you have been skeptical about the Gryphons, come out to the Rocky Mount Athletic Complex Friday night at 7:30 and make your own opinions about the team.

We'll see you there.
