Well you can't undermine NE's dline either. Spellman (ODU commit) and Freshwater(every university in the east wants this kid) manning the DE spots make NE's dline more than legit. They will give SWE oline their biggest test of the season. It will be interesting to watch as the game goes on.

No doubt. They're damn good for sure. I think the survivor of this one will represent the East. I got nothing but respect for them. It's gonna come down to witch team takes care of the ball, and witch one can take advantage of individual matchups the best.
If SWE coaches check out some film on NE's best and worst games the gameplan to beat them will be very clear. Like you said it will come down to execution. NE is going to want to try to air it out against SWE. They will test SWE run defense early, if SWE shuts the run down look for them to find some cushions on curl routes and go routes in the SWE secondary. NE defense has had trouble sealing the edges in the run game if SWE RB's can find the edge early on it will be there all night.
No, they never got to our qb. He's to small, they couldn't tackle him lol
Actually NE is better than we expected and next year it's on!!! We have almost everyone back and a top 150 rb otw.
Is the 3rd string qb actually listed as a qb, or is he another position filling in as an emergency qb? I feel like if he's an actual qb, he must be OK if he made the team, and he'll have a full week to prepare specifically for us, instead of being thrown in mid game.
The QB at the helm for NE is 5'6" WR Hodge who was their best wideout till the starting QB was hurt. Hodge has gotten better every week and had a breakout game against SWO. The starter Proctor was lost in the Hertford County game and is expected to return anytime now. Their is alot of speculation it could be this week.
SWE is alot like Havelock. NE will find out pretty quickly if they learned anything from the Havelock game.
I remember him. But I’m still taking the more healthy team. It’s going to be a great game
Got to be a transfer. I saw their JV play Tarboro earlier this year and they didn’t have anybody close to a top 150 back. They weren’t very good.
No you didn't make us better we had injuries from the edenton game no one said y'all was not good y'all was just the better team that night..,.
Alot of their sophmores and Freshman are on Varsity. They dont have many seniors or juniors. As far as the top 150 RB goes, it's still a rumor until he actually arrives.
The reason I asked if he's a transfer is because how do you determine a ranking of a player not on a varsity team yet? Do they actually rank jv players now?
Have to ask Goobs about that... I dont have any first hand knowledge of any of that. The player is not currently on ANY NE roster I can confirm that.
You are delusional. They are no where near Havelock. Obviously don’t know football
Great defense, great running game, and can pass when they need to? Please enlighten us and expand on your "feelins" how that is not how Havelock is? I can get as indepth as you like.....maybe you should lay on the couch as I get my notepad and tell me how you feel. Lol
Pretty sure he was talking about this year. Nobody in their right mind would say that the two compare historically. And nobody is saying that SWE would beat Havelock this year. I took it as him saying like a Havelock of 2A.
Not a bad conclusion. I think when you get to this point in the playoffs it comes down to coaching and execution. By this time all these teams Clinton, West Craven, SWE, NE have been in so many different situations, the coaches know what they have, they know what their teams are best at and they know where their teams struggle. It just comes down to play calling, adjustments, and execution. A case can be made for any of those 4 teams to represent the east. West Craven has flew under the radar all season and is playing it's best right now. Clinton has been a frontrunner all season. SWE has a strong senior group that is the most experienced. NE is the most battle tested. There's going to be alot of questions answered Friday night. An exciting time to be a HS football fan.
