I thought I'd get this discussion started. It's going to be a big week in good ol Duplin County.
James Kenan @ East Duplin
- Thread starter WrhDog448
- Start date
This one scares me a bit. We got the W in the regular season but it could have went either way. Hope the Panthers find a way to win and advance.
ED by 3
ED by 3
Think about the gates ED could have over next two weeks. First this week vs JK then IF they and Clinton win next week, then Clinton at ED round 3. $$$$$ big gates at ED. Best of luck to both ED and JK.
No smack talk this week. I think ED can win but there's not going to be a damn thing easy about it.
I don't have a 'dawg' in the fight but these are my feelings....ED had a very conservative game plan against JK and WRH earlier this season. Battle will open up the playbook this time. Fake punts, reverse, double pass will happen this week. Jk will hold strong until the fourth quarter... those big boys on JK's side will start sucking wind and ED will pull away. I'm going with ED by 10.
Only thing I will say is ED doesn't get tried. Battle makes sure of that. Said it before he's hard on them but they love him.
No matter who wins this upcoming Friday between Jk and ED, Jk took out Camden County like we all knew they would. Next up will be Wrh taking out them buzzards of Northeastern.
ED will start sucking wind before JK will, JK don't get tired neither. If JK doesn't have over 100yds in penalties, look for JK to pull off the upset and head towards Clinton. Go Tigers
I don’t agree with that statement. Two things that Battle’s teams always consist of is being prepared both physically and mental. He gets the most out of what he has, year in and year out. So if East Duplin loses, it’s simply because the other team was better. Battle is hardly ever out coached and his players are hardly ever out worked.ED will start sucking wind before JK will, JK don't get tired neither. If JK doesn't have over 100yds in penalties, look for JK to pull off the upset and head towards Clinton. Go Tigers
That’s why East Duplin stays relevant in 2A football. Our coaching staff’s drive and preparation is unmatched.
Unmatched or amongst the best?
I said what I said. You have your opinion and I have mine.
If they had a chance to play 1A for a while like WRH did
WRH got ONE super 1A(small 2A) title and think they're world beaters in 2A.
No matter. Still in the books.
Wrh And Shelby Grys a lot of Hate on Ncpreps for being that good
No they dont, it's just me keeping things spicey because ya'll are boring.
Anyway, back to the thread.
Go Panthers!!
I am less than thrilled with having to play JK in the second round. They're a legitimate top 10 team and a case could be made for top 5. Nevertheless, ED is better and They're at home. They should find a way to win.
I agree. Yal in for a hard second round battle
I agree if JK establish running power it could be a long night. They have the size to do it. 14-10 JK
Same guy that picked Wallace by 2 TDs against East Duplin.
At least this prediction is a bit more modest I guess.
I don’t think so I have either team winning by three jk played Ed to the wire last game I was there this game might be the best in the series ever, I think any one of these teams can win this game!! There’s no way this game is won by more than 7 even that’s a stretch it’s hard to beat a team twice that u are familiar with a county rival at that!!
Now that I seen them both play I give the edge to Jk. Taking nothing from ED good team well coached. Wallace could’ve beat ED not by 2 tds. If they would’ve pick the tempo up. East Duplin was gassed on defense. That was the difference in the game. James Kenan is a problem for any team when they run power. Just like any other team that runs power consistently.Same guy that picked Wallace by 2 TDs against East Duplin.
At least this prediction is a bit more modest I guess.
Story we did on East Duplin QB Zack Brown, the son of a former East Duplin standout. Story even has quotes from good old Brian Aldridge. 
Toss up; if ED has their usual home cooking, I'd go with them, but I think JK is hot and hungry right now. Wouldnt surprise me to see them win.
The recipe is there for power football tonight. Rain and lots of wind predicted. I’ll be pulling for my Panthers but won’t be surprised to see JK and that big OLine to pull this one out.
Nah we're saving that home cooking you speak for the following week just in case us and clinton win tonight
Haven't posted on here in a long time. Looking forward to a great game! Go Tigers!
