One of the more exciting 2nd round games in 3A playoffs this round in my opinion. Let me hear y'alls thoughts!

I've said on a few other threads, I think this will be a shootout. I like what Kinston has overall more, but you never know. I'm going to be faithful to my conference and pick Kinston, and really feel they will win, but it would not shock me if they didn't. They have some head scratchers this year, but it seems their offense is producing like I thought they would at the beginning of the year.

We saw what happens when Kinston gets behind at Whiteville last year, it was not pretty, coach did not have control of his players and it was down right embarrassing. If Midway can get ahead late, lets see if the coach has control this year.

I am not aware of what happened last year? Players losing cool on the field?

Lots of jawing at our players, personal fouls, hitting out of bounds and it continued until the last play. Most of the time the playoff process weeds out those types of teams and coaches.

I’ve seen Kinston get down multiple times this season and still hold composure. I also thought the refs at that Whiteville game was absolutely HORRIBLE…. This team is loaded with 20+ senior it’s not the same team as last year.

I watched a halfway decent GC team go into midway last year in the playoffs and destroy Midway and MW was the higher seed. I just don’t see Midway having the athletes to keep up with Kinston. I think it’s gonna get ugly

Midway is a lot better than last year, especially on offense. Midway offense is just as good as Kinston, Kinston just has the better players. If you're thinking that Kinston is going to blow Midway out, then you're in for big surprise.

Their last two games are alarming to me. I’m not overlooking them, or discrediting them I just don’t believe they can keep up… I’ve been wrong before and will be wrong again

Although I have not seen midway, I can say Kinston will have the best player on the field, and he’s going to be hard to contain. Not that it cannot be done, but it’s going to take a great team effort

Checked out your preview show this morning. As usual, very well put together.

One question, how far back did you go to get Midway's playoff record? You do realize they were very successful for a long time in the 1-A ranks with Tommy Sloan as head coach or did your record only include them as a 2-A school? If I am not mistaken, I think they might have even played for the state championship a couple of times.

Lots of success in that program for a long time. Doesnt mean anything for tonight, but far more football success compared to Kinston.

Man Midway looks terrible. No way in the world you think this offense is just as good as Kinstons

Styles makes fights! You don't have to take my word for it, just go look at what that offense has done all season.
I personally think that area is weak. Second year in a row they got blown out at a home playoff game. That’s no disrespect to JK I know they are good. But when I seen 27-7 game with Rosewood I knew Kinston was gonna win easily. They had no explosive players on the field.

Midway is 3-16 in playoffs since 2004. Kinston isn’t no powerhouse don’t get me wrong but they were in the 4th round last year and was in state championship 10 years ago
