Fike is coming home in high spirits after they had to open their season on the road against Beddingfield. Fike secured a 27-23 W over Beddingfield on Friday.
Meanwhile, Northern Nash took care of business in their home opener on Friday (and then some). Everything went their way against Hunt as Northern Nash made off with a 35-14 win. Given the Knights' advantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina football rankings (they are ranked 42nd, while the Warriors are ranked 146th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Fike was taken down by Northern Nash 55-12 in their previous meeting back in August of 2023. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Northern Nash's Barian Strickland, who rushed for 114 yards and a touchdown. Now that Fike knows the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
