Last Thursday, North Davidson came up short against Central Davidson and fell 28-20.

Meanwhile, after only seven points in their last game, Ledford made sure to put some points up on the board against Asheboro last Thursday. Ledford was the clear victor by a 48-27 margin over Asheboro. The result was nothing new for Ledford, who have now won five contests by 21 points or more so far this season.

Alex Sanford got back to being his usual excellent self, as he rushed for 423 yards and seven touchdowns while picking up 12.4 yards per carry. Sanford hasn't dropped below 100 rushing yards for eight straight games.

Central Davidson's victory bumped their season record to 5-4 while North Davidson's defeat dropped theirs to 3-6.

Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
