The spreads look about right to me. That Maiden West Caldwell game is the place to be this week. I'll take Maiden but it's a tough pick.

Although Bunker Hill is really bad this year, I doubt it's 50+ for East. Coach usually doesn't allow that.

Your going to have to ask your 2nd string kids to lay down then and that's not what kids should have to do when they work for recognition.

How is Bunker Hill so bad? Didn't they recently win the JV conference championship?
The year they won JV conference they kept basically all of their sophomores on JV except 2-3 and all their freshman. While the other teams in the conference moved up their good sophomores and freshman. Doesn't help the fact Bunker Hill players have no desire to play and it shows on Friday nights.

Are they really THAT bad? I agree...if they can't stop the 2nd team then it's on them.

I thought this game was their homecoming. If so, bet there will be some upset moms in the stands. Should be a good game, but Maiden should prevail.

If it is homecoming and moved then yes mommas are going to freak out. Where is that hair and makeup going to get done with no appointment. What about that dress alterations? Daddy on a business trip. Panic in the house of the other gender.

Maiden would rather take it from West in front of a Thursday crowd
versus Friday night crowd!

Yep, you busted us. Actually, we wanted to cancel all together rather than take the chance that west Caldwell would get their 2nd all time win against us but the state is making us play.

Easy games for everyone but West and Maiden. I'm picking Maiden. Maiden is developing some good receivers even though they had butter fingers last week. They were wide open. Maiden had a good speedy back last week as well. Don't know anything about him. #1.

Final East Lincoln 49 Bunker Hill 14. Close game up until the 4th quarter. Bunker Hill had a few chances to go up in this game but were unable to capitalize on numerous Mustang penalties. Got ugly and sloppy in the 4th but some encouraging signs for Bear fans like myself.

We beat Bunker Hill 54-0 my senior year in 2014. On their homecoming and when they held a memorial for a student/player who passed away. Coach seemed to have no problem then other than pulling out most of the starters after a drive or two in the third quarter since it was either 42-0 or 49-0 at the half if i remember correctly.

Too bad y'all got your arse kicked 35-12. Maybe that was the 2nd all time win for WC but it's 2 of the last 3 and it's just too bad Coach English can't add to that total due to re-alignment but the future is bright for WC football considering the overall youth of this team. Farley may have been the best athlete on the field but Mr. Titus Tucker was the best QB on that field. Hell, I thought you bragging Maiden Fan's would at least had a team that would have made a game out of it.

Great win for the Warriors, Coaches and Fans! WC staff had an excellent game plan to contain Farley and was able to execute that plan throughout most of the ball game. Had a few breaks go our way, didn't commit the penalties that plagued some earlier games. I thought we played with poise and maturity, which bodes well for the future.

West Lincoln 24- Newton-Conover 21. West drives the field and connects on a FG with 4 seconds.

Newton-Conover is real danger of finishing 7th in the SD7. Not going to beat Lincolnton and East Lincoln from what I've seen. Last place, fourth, fifth, and seventh is not the direction you wish to go in this alignment.

GDG face it my friend. NC and Freedom will be fortunate to have 12 wins between them. In fact... Burke and Catawba are struggling to put a legitimate team on the field this season.
