Eastern Guilford(6-1) at Southern Guilford(0-7) 7pm
EG Wildcats are for real, they are now Real Good…The ‘Cats with QB Jackson Jones at the helm, are one of the top two teams in the Mid-State 3-A Conference, and have a Conference Player of the Year Candidate in Steven Murray…Tavion Bullock and Samari Smith are tearing the houses down on Defense…
Smith(3-4) at High Point Central(0-7) 7pm

Dudley(7-0) at Rockingham County(5-2) 7pm
Thd DBoyz from The Eastside are headed to the other side of Rockingham County tonight, and there is no reason not to believe that the Dudley Panthers will return home after this game at (8-0)…Dudley QB Andrew/Drew Attmore II has been throwing the football at an 80% completion rate in recent games…Junior Kordell Bartley is another one of those Conference Player of the Year candidates….He and Steven Murray are both just juniors…Bartley, LJ Southern, CJ Neely, Nasir Newkirk, Jerron Blackwell, DJ Parker, Sa’Mad Bell, Latrell Wilson, Kameron Baldwin, Robert McCollum, you name ’em and Dudley has ’em playing at a very high level right now….
Asheville School(3-3) at High Point Christian Academy(7-0) 7pm

WS Reynolds(2-5) at East Forsyth(6-1) 7pm
Ragsdale(1-6) at Northwest Guilford(5-2) 7:30pm
NWG is on that plan that would allow them to Run the Table for the rest of the regular season…The Vikings are trying to play with House Money, and they are home in their house, and they have a nice Hammock hung up out there at around the 10-yard line and you just need to throw the ball to The Hammock, and then turn around and throw the ball to The Cloud(s)….Tanner Ballou knows what to do, to make these NWG dreams come true…Malique Jones and Ryan Debow have the running game revved up for NWG, and with Thomas Orell and Andrew Dover taking over the Defense, Northwest is ready to fly…Ragsdale is rebuilding, and the rebuilding process is a long piece of work, when you have teams like NWG standing in the way of your special blueprint plans…
High Point Andrews(4-3) at North Forsyth(3-5) 7:30pm
HP Andrews still has visions of the 2023 playoffs, and why not??? The Red Raiders will be (5-3) when they complete their work over in Forsyth County tonight….Correy McManus, Corey Pate and others are still very strong and with Coach Mitchell Jenkins leading these young men, they will fight to win, and they should be in position at the end, to win again tonight…

Western Guilford(1-6) at Southeast Guilford(3-4) 7:30pm
SEG might be ready to make up for some lost time in this game tonight…JV game was close with SEG topping WG, 14-6…Timothy Baker continues to pace the Hornets running game, but SEG has Ian McKinnon and several other key backs that make life miserable for the Falcons opponents…Plus they have the Marsh kid that can take over and run the team at QB….SEG is a big bird waiting to drop a load on somebody, and that somebody might just be the Hornets tonight…Game at Bill Slayton Stadium, and if the old coach was still with us, he might be ready to rumble down the sidelines and stir up the home crowd on this night…
