Tonight’s high school football games feature a couple of intriguing matchups. For instance, Apex, which has dominated Green Hope over the years, is a heavy underdog against them this week. Plus, Holly Springs, usually a patsy for Athens Drive, could give the Drive fits tonight. Traditional powerhouses Fuquay and Panther Creek play each other as well as strong Middle Creek and Cary. The weather is expected to be clear and 70 degrees in the Triangle area. Below are tonight’s games involving Triangle-area teams with predicted winners in bold. Last week my record was 10-3. For the year I stand at 35-5. Most games start at 7:30 p.m. You might want to check with local officials as some games start at 7.
