\"hsfootballhelmet2\"<\/a>It\u2019s the first week of the high school football playoffs. It’s going to be cloudy and humid tonight Friday, Nov. 15, with temps in the around 50. For games that run late, there may be a chance of light rain. Tonight’s radio game of the week on 99.9 The Fan is Millbrook at Leesville Road.<\/p>\n

All games tonight start at 7:30 pm. Try to make a point to get out there and support high school athletics before the season is over.<\/p>\n

My record in picking games last week was 12-4 for a season record of 114-36. That’s 76 percent, well below my 83 percent last year and 84 percent the year before. To my defense, there were several upsets this year and several evenly matched teams fighting for titles. <\/p>\n

With the higher-seeded teams playing at home, I only have three underdogs picked this week: Cardinal Gibbons, South View and Wake Forest. Below, the predicted winners for this week are in bold.<\/p>\n

Cardinal Gibbons<\/strong> at Triton
\nChapel Hill at Southern Durham<\/strong>
\nClayton at Hillside<\/strong>
\nFuquay-Varina at Middle Creek<\/strong>
\nGreen Hope at Wakefield<\/strong>
\nHeritage at Scotland County<\/strong>
\nHolly Springs at Garner<\/strong>
\nMillbrook at Leesville Road<\/strong>
\nNorthern Durham at New Hanover<\/strong>
\nRocky Mount at Orange<\/strong>
\nSanderson at Jack Britt<\/strong>
\nSouth View<\/strong> at Riverside
\nSoutheast Raleigh at New Bern<\/strong>
\nSouthern Alamance at Knightdale<\/strong>
\nWake Forest<\/strong> at Panther Creek<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
