Mr. Buck vs Mr. Vaughan, Week 11

Click to view

Seventy-First at Jack Britt - Slight temptation to pick an upset here. Very slight. Britt just has too much to play for to get distracted ...Jack Britt 28, Seventy-First 18.

Wish Mr. Vaughan had the nerve to pull the trigger and pick the upset.  That way I could get one of those 7 games back.  He's right, though, Britt wins

Douglas Byrd at Southern Lee - Byrd can only play for position now since it's out of the title picture in the Cape Fear Valley 3-A ...Douglas Byrd 30, Southern Lee 12.

Douglas Byrd easily in this one

Cape Fear at Terry Sanford - A long and painful season ends with one more loss for Cape Fear, while Terry Sanford looks ahead to Jack Britt ...Terry Sanford 31, Cape Fear 14.

Terry Sanford may already be looking ahead.  Mr. Buck has to go for the upset here.  Terry Sanford should win but he's going with Cape Fear and the upset

Gray's Creek at Westover - I give the edge to the team with the better defense. That, plus playing at home, means I go with Westover ...Westover 24, Gray's Creek 18.

Dag, Mr. Buck was betting on Mr. Vaughan to go the other way.  Westover should win this game but again, have to go for the upset and take Gray's Creek

South View at E.E. Smith - Huge game for South View as the Tigers seek to improve on their playoff chances at the expense of former Tiger assistant and now Smith head coach Duran McLaurin ...South View 24, E.E. Smith 12.

South View wins this no-game show down

Purnell Swett 28, Hoke County 21

Want to hear something strange?  IF Hoke wins out, Scotland upsets Lumberton, Hoke could end up in 2nd place of the SEC and receive an automatic berth into the State Playoffs.  Hoke does their part tonight and wins

Lumberton 29, Scotland 12

The back-up QB for Scotland has gotten a week of practice in as being the main play caller so that should help them try for the upset.  Richmonds option bothered Lumberton last week and Scotland has a good option attack.  We need Scotland to win, so Scotland wins, Wish it were that easy but its not.  Lumberton wins this one

Richmond Senior 31, Pinecrest 18

There is a lot riding on this game.  IF Pinecrest upsets Richmond again this year, would it really be an upset?  If Pinecrest does win, they would be tied for the Conference Title with one week to go but would assure themselves of a 2nd place finish.  If Richmond wins, they avenge last year's embarrassment and lock down first place in the conference.  Richmond wins
