That Friday the 13th jinx got us this year/week/month…All three of our Guilford County teams in that were in action, fell prey to “The Friday the 13th Curse”…Two of those three teams were Unbeaten going into this week’s games, but now Unbeaten no more……It is gone…Still at least five GCS teams still Unbeaten with Grimsley, Dudley, Northwest, Northern, and Western Guilford…All those teams are at (3-0), and High Point Chrisitian, at (4-0), is still Unbeaten too….
On this Friday the 13th, Smith falls 13-8 to the Thomasville Bulldogs…High Point Andrews in one of those high octane scoring games, goes down 55-36 to the Cavaliers from North Rowan HS…And to make matters worse, the Eastern Guilford Wildcats were not Unbeaten, but the kids from Gibsonville lost a heart-breaker to Western Alamance, 17-7…
