The second round of the high school playoffs features 10 local teams including four of them playing each other. Leesville Road (11-0) travels to Middle Creek (11-1) while Wakefield (11-1) travels to Garner (12-0). Unless Garner wins the state championship, the Trojans next loss will be the final game for coach Nelson Smith. Temperatures should dip into the 40s but it will be clear. Most games start at 7:30 p.m. You might want to check with local officials as some games start at 7. Last week I was 14-2 in predictions. I finished the regular season at 112-23. Together, I’m 126-25 That’s nearly 84 percent correct. Game predictions are as follows.
