Last Friday, Eastern Randolph was able to grind out a solid victory over Asheboro, taking the game 33-21. Given the Wildcats' advantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina football rankings (they are ranked 48th, while the Blue Comets are ranked 156th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Southern Lee gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener last Friday. They blew past Western Harnett, posting a 41-6 win at home. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest victory the Cavaliers have posted since August 25, 2023.
Robert Sims had an outrageously good game as he rushed for 72 yards and four touchdowns on only eight carries, and also threw for 95 yards and two touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes.
Everything went Eastern Randolph's way against Southern Lee in their previous meeting back in September of 2023 as Eastern Randolph made off with a 36-15 win.
