Mr. Buck vs Mr. Vaughan, The Last Week

Click to view

Mr. Buck sees an opportunity to go 0-for this week.  But this is the only chance Mr. Buck has of catching Mr. Vaughan.  This is the last week of picking for this season.  Hopefully, things will be better next year for Mr. Buck and the Fighting Bucks of Hoke County.

Terry Sanford at Jack Britt - I think this one is going to be closer than a lot of people who are counting Terry Sanford out are thinking. The Bulldogs can move the ball and score, even on Britt. If either team has turnovers that lead to easy points, all bets are off. But if things go as anticipated, I'm expecting a Buccaneer win ...Jack Britt 30, Terry Sanford 23.

Mr. Buck agrees but sees that he has to take Terry Sanford to pick up one game.  Terry Sanford wins

Union Pines at Douglas Byrd - A cakewalk into the state playoffs for Byrd ...Douglas Byrd 35, Union Pines 7.

Having to go with opposites, Mr. Buck is picking for the major upset tonight with Union Pines winning

Overhills at Gray's Creek - Okay Bears, don't come into this one flat and let someone steal half of your Cape Fear Valley 3-A Conference title. Bring it home outright ...Gray's Creek 30, Overhills 8.

The Musky Trail chokes the Bear's out tonight.  Overhills wins

E.E. Smith at Pine Forest - This is a big game for Pine Forest as the Trojans need to improve their seeding for the playoffs ...Pine Forest 21, E.E. Smith 14.

Someone said that EES would defeat 3 teams in the MSC.  They have beaten one.  Let's make it two, EES wins

Seventy-First at South View - The Tigers seem to be peaking at the right time, and they need a win tonight to improve their playoff prospects ...South View 28, Seventy-First 14.

Seventy-First needs this win to get into the playoffs as well.  71st wins

Westover at Western Harnett - This is still a big game for Westover, and a tough one. The Wolverines need to forget last week's loss to Gray's Creek. They need this win to wrap up second place in the Cape Fear Valley 3-A... Westover 18, Western Harnett 12.

Harnett Central wins

Pinecrest 28, Hoke County 12

Hoke needs this win badly to even have a chance of a next week playoff game, some help from Lumberton, and the lucky fingers of the AD, Coach Brigman. Hoke pulls off another upset

Purnell Swett 21, Lumberton 20

Lumberton has to win in order for Hoke to have a chance of a playoff game.  Lumberton abliges

Richmond Senior 35, Scotland 7

Ok, even Mr. Buck cannot pick the upset in this game.  There is no way, even if Richmond forfeits, that Scotland could earn a victory here.  Richmond wins
