My take on tonight's games
First, want to let people know The Star Car will be at Ashbrook at Shelby and I will be posting live updates from that game on Friday.
I'll also put up another link for folks to post scores, so feel free to check back frequently.
Enjoy the games!
Week 2
Ashbrook (0-2) at Shelby (1-0)
Losers of two straight by a wide margin to open the season, you know the Green Wave will come into Blanton Stadium hungry. The Golden Lions have won two straight against Ashbrook and will be looking to perform well in front of their fans in their home opener.
Ashbrook’s defense has been porous against the run against West Charlotte and Clover, S.C., so Shelby should have plenty of success on the ground.
East Gaston (0-1) at Burns (0-1)
Turnovers were key in both of these teams’ season-opening losses last week, so the squad that gets that corrected in Week 2 will likely come out of this one with their first win. The Bulldogs’ defense showed plenty of fight and swarmed around the ball last week against Crest, but their offense must be more consistent and sustain drives.
The Warriors won a close one last year in Mount Holly, and the 2007 matchup could be another barn-burner in Lawndale.
Crest (1-0) at Freedom (0-1)
The Chargers won their opener at Burns, but came out of the overtime triumph with plenty to work on … namely turnovers and penalties. On a positive note, Crest’s defense was stout against the run and pass as it kept the Bulldogs out of the end zone.
If Crest turns in a more crisp performance on offense, look for the Chargers to be 2-0 heading into next Friday’s contest against rival Shelby.
South Point (1-0) at Kings Mountain (1-0)
If you like watching stout running games, this is the game for you. In their respective openers, the Red Raiders racked up 368 yards on the ground against Lincolnton, while the Mountaineers rushed for 316 against Hunter Huss. To keep the chains moving this week, Kings Mountain will have to mix in some pass with the run.
The big key for the Mounties will be how well their defense holds up against South Point’s "Red Bone" offense.
