WF-ROLESVILLE AT SOUTHERN DURHAM

7:30 P.M., SPARTANS STADIUM

WAKE FOREST WON 10-0 IN 2007

Southern Durham was highly touted in the preseason but has lost two straight and is averaging six turnovers a game. Top-ranked Wake Forest has averaged 53 points in its two wins.

DURHAM RIVERSIDE AT GARNER

7:30 P.M., TROJAN STADIUM

GARNER WON 40-13 IN 2007

Traditional power Garner (1-1) has struggled early, but so has Riverside (0-1). The winner will pick up momentum, but the road ahead looks tougher for the loser.

WAKEFIELD AT KNIGHTDALE

7:30 P.M., KNIGHTS STADIUM

WAKEFIELD WON 53-0 IN 2007

Wakefield (2-0) rallied in the final two minutes to beat Holly Springs 28-21 last week. Knightdale (0-2) played Enloe tough in a 28-21 opening loss, but was overwhelmed by Millbrook, 48-19, last week.

APEX AT LEESVILLE ROAD

7 P.M., PRIDE STADIUM

LEESVILLE WON 47-7 IN 2007

Apex (2-0) and Leesville Road (2-0) face their biggest tests to date. Leesville must be wary of the Cougars' Kevin Fogg, who runs, catches and returns kicks. Leesville QB Jake Groeschen averages 153 passing yards.

SOUTH JOHNSTON AT CLAYTON

7 P.M., COMETS STADIUM

S. JOHNSTON WON 10-7 IN 2007

South Johnston (1-1) averages 41.5 points per game, including last week's 35-28 loss to West Johnston. Clayton (1-1) rushes for 328 yards per game and passes for 20. South averages 245 rushing yards and 207 passing yards.

CHAPEL HILL AT SMITHFIELD-SELMA

7:30 P.M., TUCKER STADIUM

SSS WON 21-16 IN 2007

Chapel Hill (1-0) has an intimidating front led by 280-pound UNC recruit Jared McAdoo and 305-pound junior Rob Crisp. SSS (1-1) is led by UNC recruits Justin Dixon and D.J. Bunn. SSS lost last week to Nash Central.
