Projected #1 and #2 seeds in east clashing on Friday night. With the history between these two teams, this one might be interesting. I’m picking ED 28-7.

I could be wrong, but I think it will be much closer. Both teams seem to be playing very well recently. Both had close games with Wallace-Rose Hill. East Duplin's only blemish is to a very good Jacksonville team while Clinton lost to a one loss Midway squad and undefeated Whiteville.

Appears the winner will win the conference championship and should be the #1 seed in 4A East assuming they win out.

Might try and make this one myself.

So, if form holds, then the #1 seed will probably draw the #4 seed which most likely will be Reidsville and the #2 seed would then get the #3 seed probably HP Andrews.

#1 and #4 will be in same bracket, #2 and #3 in same bracket.

Reidsville will be hurt by their last two opponents records. TWA will probably move to #2 this week by jumping over the loser of Clinton/ED. Winner of Clinton/ED probably locks up #1 seed in East as both will be big favorites in their last two games. Loser drops to #3/#5 range.

I would keep an eye on SW Edgecombe and West Craven. Big matchup next week between the two. If West Craven wins and then beats Eastern Wayne in their last game, they will make a big move up and could claim that #4 seed, possibly the #3. I think West Craven wins out.

I agree, both teams are playing well now and this is a big game. I've seen both play and believe that ED may have an edge with homefield advantage. This one will come down to whoever makes the fewer penalties, mistakes, and turnovers.

West Craven winning out would make these playoff predictions look completely different.

I’m not going to pick a winner but I expect a close game. I’d love to be there to see this.
