It pains me that I wont be able to attend CC Games like I have in the past, but looking into some box scores from Friday and talking to some old acquaintances I think JK, Lakewood, Princeton and ND could be the Top 4 in some order.

James Kenan is always difficult, but after a tough game Monday it is apparent that they still have the talent to be at the top of the conference.

Lakewood is a physical team and their athletes are well coached and hard nosed. This is the team I give the biggest chance to upset Kenan's run of the conference.

Princeton isn't going to be the down team they started out as last year, this Princeton team will be back into contention, but this isn't going to be easy as other teams in the conference have more athletes than the Dogs

North Duplin supporters have told me this might be the best rounded team since the '10 title run team. Watch out for the Rebels to cause fits

Good luck to all tonight

Unfortunately it looks like JK will be without Ken Avent III for the majority of the year. Will not be the same team from years past. Eager to see if this young group of Tigers can win the conference in a down year.

Lots of Thursday games this week

JK takes a hit losing Avent III

James Kenan likely looking at back to back losses coming up unless the offensive line wakes up, from what I hear they are struggling up front and that's never good.

North Duplin might have their best team since the state championship run but even so the kind of competition they play hasn't been forgiving, probable win tonight VS South Lenior but still anything can happen ND has what looks like a win next week at home VS Pender

Rosewood hosts a tough Midway team that is looking to prep for its conference schedule, I give the nod to Midway until Rosewood can provide some of the magic from last season.

Lakewood looks to have a cakewalk game at Lejune

I expect East Carteret to throw all over Spring Creek, no disrespect to the Gators but EC should be back in form after a tight one with Rival West Carteret last week.

Hobbton should beat KIPP Pride

And in an upset slot only because its 1-A vs a big school I'll take Princeton over Franklinton the Dogs in Blue might push Lakewood for the top spot

Looks like Princeton had a tough one with Franklinton, Dogs just couldn't get it going early and it cost them.

Spring Creek played a better game than I thought, I keep underestimating the Gators.

Lakewood was all over Lejune.

North Duplin lost a heart breaker from the sound of it.

James Kenan took one to the chin.

Hobbton had a big stumble.

Good luck Monday to Rosewood, get the boys ready and go back out with the momentum you had.

This conference may be locked up by Lakewood when the conference games start in a few short weeks.

Also North Duplin's game with Pender may have just gotten tougher. Last night Pender beat 3-A South Brunswick (not sure how good they usually are, but its 1-A over 3-A) by a score of 34-12.

Rosewood against Lejune is going to be a fight both teams desperately seeking the first W of the season, I'll take Rosewood pulling away late Rosewood 42 Lejune 14

Princeton plays North Johnston and while I haven't seen much from the in county rival of the Dogs, I think this game could be tight North Johnston 34 Princeton 28

Hobbton plays county rival Union. The Spartan team is hot right now, the Wildcats not as much Union 47 Hobbton 13

North Duplin hosts Pender and the Patriots are coming off their first win since beating the Rebels last season, North Duplin has played close in each of their three losses this one should be pretty good. I think North Duplin's option attack proves too much for Pender North Duplin 26 Pender 21

Not going to underestimate Spring Creek they have played tough opponents this year and have been close in some Spring Creek 33 Wake Christian 20

James Kenan hosts East Duplin in what should be another tough one for the Tigers. Kenan should be sharper on offense than last week but stopping a tough Panther team will eventually prove too much for the Tiger D East Duplin 44 James Kenan 7

Lakewood plays against one of their least favorite groups of guys in Sampson county Midway, while Midway is formidable and a worthy opponent, I think that Lakewood handles them Lakewood 23 Midway 16

Lakewood v Spring Creek

Gotta take Lakewood, they are still the conference favorite

JK v Princeton

James Kenan will rebound here and win a close game against the Bulldogs

Rosewood v Hobbton

Rosewood should light up the scoreboard and get the speed game going against the Wildcats

North Duplin v Lejune

North Duplin will put up 50 points en route to beating the Devil Pups

ajjjames I agree Princeton looks good, but this is a very fast James Kenan team. They will be well coached and are hungry to get back to winning. I never said it would be a blowout, but I believe that JK will win in the end.

I don't know if they haven't ever beaten JK maybe somewhere in the 80s/90s. I think the fans in Princeton will get their money's worth.

Don't think the Carolina Conference has ever been this balanced top to botton. Should be some great games on every field every week. ND has hopefully a tuneup game this week with Lejeune before first conference game with Lakewood. Stumbling out the gate they have shown improvement every week but are 85% from potential, IMO. A safe and dry Friday night or afternoon in our case.

North Duplin handles Lejune easily. North Duplin could probably be at 50% potential and win that one.

jh60... defense...dont give up the big play....which has hurt my eagles all season. coach avent as the tigers have lost key players but is reshaping his team. ball control... jk offense were on the field for a long time....if the rebels can play ball control as they did with the huge win! vs lakewood. should be a great game. i am busy pre-game but you know as in the past...you are always welcome!!

JK @ North Duplin should be a great game. Congrats to the Rebels on beating Lakewood. It's good to see JK continue to fight after the adversity we have dealt with.

JK v ND takes on a whole new meaning this week, can the Tigers spoil the Rebels chances for a conference championship? Its very early and the Carolina Conference is THE MOST fun it's been all four years of this realignment!!! GO CAROLINA CONFERENCE!!!!
