The high school second round of the football playoffs are tonight in nice, cool football weather. There are a number of games within close driving distance though. All games start at 7:30 p.m. In bold below are the predicted winners. I’m picking Leesville Road to beat Wake Forest Rolesville again (they won 41-16 during the regular season) even though they have a new quarterback due to injury. I’m picking Britt to beat Cary simply because the Imps have finally met their defensive match and Britt is playing at home. Fuquay wants revenge after losing to Middle Creek in double overtime during the regular season and I think they’ll get it. Last week my first round playoff record was 9-2. I went 93-18 during the regular season and am now 102-20 overall. The News & Observer provides details of some of these matchups here.
