I didn't go to any games last night. I hurt my ankle at work and just stayed in but kept up with all the games on Scorestream.
I was surprised to see the CD vs Salisbury score being somewhat close, but then again when two teams with a ground and pound style play the game goes faster and has a tendency to get less out of hand. Scores also don't always tell the whole story. I've seen low scoring games where one team was clearly the dominant one the whole game.
As for North vs WD, ND got out ahead 21-3 and it sounds from the Dispatch article that West just kept plugging and never stopped fighting. Having coached in that area before I'm not surprised. I called for the game to be closer because West is better but North still winning comfortably. Sounds like that's what happened. North D is not nearly as good but that's what happens when you lose ten starters. North offense is still good but the line isn't as dominant this year as it has been either.
When the season began I thought ND and Ledford would slide back a bit because the loss of starters and the Midway and Wallburg communities would start to show but they were still the favorites. Oak Grove, Salisbury and Tville would challenge them but OG is even better than I thought they would be with all their players returning. Credit Coach Holcomb for that. Tville is still a bit behind but that has more to do with numbers than anything. North will have to watch out for them this week. Speed is Norths greatest weakness, as it has always been.
The top five teams are still the same top five teams. The bottom five teams are still the bottom five teams. The biggest surprise is just how bad Lexington is. I did not see that coming.
@Rameses if you have a problem with other posters you can just use the ignore button. It works great. Sometimes I have to show ignored content to see where a conversation deviated but otherwise I prefer to keep it on lol.
Next few weeks will be much more interesting guys. Football season is going by way too fast!
