Rville over Hayesville 35-14.
Swain over Andrews 28-7.

I think rosman or Rville will play for a State title this year. who ever wins the 4th round game at Big Oaks.
Anyone know if CSODavidson is good enough to beat Rville/Rosman or not? What about T.Jefferson?

Rick what happened to the school of Maxton, they used to be in the playoffs a lot.

Yeah, Maxton as you know was a powerhouse albeit for a brief time during the 70's....I remember a discussion on here a year or so ago about Maxton, and seems that once the school closed, the student body was absorbed by other schools in the area....Now which schools that may be, I don't know, but I'm sure there are folks on here that know the answer?

Yeah I agree, it's going to be interesting to see how the Pride do against Bessemer City this friday night, and particularly how they do against CSOD and Thomas Jefferson when they face those teams in a week or two?....One thing is for sure: They seem to be a very good team defensively, but I just don't know about the competition that they've played thus far?

Any Pride fans out there that can let us know a little more about the Pride?

Thanks in Advance!

I understand there are several weeks before the playoffs so maybe this question is too soon. If more than one team winds up undefeated in the west, currently standing at 6, how are the teams seeded?
