Friday’s high school football games showcase a number of games that could go either way. Key conference matchups could already dash playoff hopes for the losers. I’ll be keeping an eye on an interesting non-conference battle however as Chapel Hill travels to Cardinal Gibbons. Game time temperatures should be in the low 70s with a 30 percent chance of isolated thunderstorms. Last week my record was an undefeated 17-0. For the year I stand at 52-5. Take me to Vegas. Most games start at 7:30 p.m. You might want to check with local officials as some games start at 7. Game predicts are as follows.
