It has finally arrived no room for error now.

JK vs. Midway - The Raiders hot start will come to an end Friday night in Warsaw. I look for a well rested JK defense to be trouble for Midway all night and Peterson to make his plays in space. JK 42 Midway 24.

WRH @ Goldsboro - The Dogs make all the big plays. WRH 44 Goldsboro 12

Clinton vs. East Duplin - Clinton beats up on ED. Clinton 33 ED 8

Maybe they should have scheduled Southern Wayne?
Southern Wayne is far better than their record indicates. It was still a bad loss for JK and several players second high school game, regardless they have good athletes on that team. Southern Wayne is better than anyone Midway has played so far. If JK was to play Southern Wayne again I’d take JK by 10.

Ready for the conference to start. Still think its a 2 team race. With ED being the sleeper

I think the Clinton ED game will be closer than some have predicted. I feel clinton should and will win but anything can happen.

It’s gameday thank God. Talk is over it’s time for the pads to take over. Go Tigers. Hope everyone makes it to next week injury free

I think we learn 3 things tonight.
Midway is highly overrated
ED will not be able to compete with the top teams in the conference
And can Clinton be dominate without Kaba
I was at Clinton/ NS last week and Clinton looked like they came together really good when Kaba got hurt. They'll be fine I think without him tonight. ED going to play them tough tho

If I was a gambling man (I am not) I would put a large sum on Clinton by at least 14

If Midway loses it's not because they are "overrated". Is there anyone who actually thinks they are a contender? The new coach is trying to build up the program to compete in the best conference in the state.

Midway is always the underdog funny how they do so well and apparently played tomato cans and teams that are JV rated....even tho they beat 2 3A schools and people still doubt them. Like I said the end of the night the scoreboard will tell the story. Good luck with your team's gentlemen

41-21 in 2017 at Clinton with the refs from the Fayetteville association.

I guess false start penalties plagued them that year too.

Check recent history. Are officials the reason of those ED wins or just last year?

Just last year, Mr. Scholar. Why don't you go support your team, if you have one, instead of wasting your time trolling Clinton.

LOL....if I have a "team" I guess it would be WRH. I live outside of Wallace so I attend most of their games. Family from here that played for Coach Holley in the 80s and I was able to get to know him and his family when he returned. I am partial to all Duplin teams (it is where I live after all) but follow the Dogs and ED more closely than the others.

Im sorry Clinton fans get ruffled but I was at the ED-Clinton game last year and ED outplayed them in all aspects. Maybe that and not the officials calling false starts each time there was a false start caused the 13 point margin of victory? Now they are blaming booking agents? Come on! If I remember correctly, its the same thing they have been pointing out all this season and during the playoffs last year, unnecessary penalties. Maybe it effects the JV Darkhorses too this year since I heard that ED won last night 41-12 or something like that.

You cant make this stuff up. Clinton posters, the gift that keeps on giving.

Oh, I do think Clinton wins tonight.

Referring to recent history do you mean the 48-3 beatdown in 2014?

No excuses for last year make that many mistakes against any team and your gonna find yourself in a bad place...Coach said it himself in that preseason interview ED beat us up front all night and we couldnt do a thing with the Herring kid #36 of course what happened last year has no barring on tonights game so well leave it at that.....East has a very good JV team looks like the Panthers will be tough out as normal once again

Clinton played very well after the injury...majority of the seniors/juniors were conf champs on JV in 2016 and 2017 so we do have some talent not named Kaba obviously no easy replacing a D1 caliber athlete but Clinton is alot more than just one player

Notice I said "ED wins"?

I assume Clinton won 48-3 that year so that game would not fall in that particular category or maybe I am just making things too complicated?

Oh yea I know they are just more than 1 player I just know how he completely changes the defense.
