Asheville has all but wrapped up the conference title after their win over McDowell. Now the battle is to see who will represent the conference in the playoffs with teams hoping to improve their RPI.

Asheville @ North Buncombe- The Cougars will look to build depth over the next 2 weeks against the bottom of the conference.

Asheville 48
North Buncombe 0


North Henderson @ Enka- Enka steps outside the conference for an interesting game vs North Henderson. If the Jets can steal this one it would help their RPI for the 3A playoffs.

Enka 27
North Henderson 20

Erwin @ McDowell- The Titans must win this game to have any hopes of making the 4A playoffs. The Titans moved the ball some (over 200 yards) despite getting shut out last week. Turnovers, penalties, and negative plays on the other side of the 50 have hurt them all season. Erwin has a good chance of winning the 3A portion of the conference but will also look to improve their RPI. McDowell has had trouble with speedy teams and the pass so this could be a close game.

McDowell 28
Erwin 27


Reynolds @ Roberson- Reynolds is in good shape to make the playoffs as long as they don't slip up the next 2 weeks.

Reynolds 35
Roberson 7

After this week we will really start seeing a clearer picture of what the playoffs will look like. I’m curious what kind of seed we are looking at. With this season being in 4A, there is no telling what could come up that mountain in the first round.

You will be no worse then a 9 seed we know that, there are only 9 conference champs in the west, they will be seeded by RPI.
