Four games and four players to watch in Week 7 of the high school football schedule
FOUR PLAYERS TO WATCH
Desmond Evans, Lee County: The sophomore defensive lineman already has offers from ACC and SEC programs.
Cornell Hendrick, Warren County: The senior leads the state with eight interceptions.
C.J. Johnson, D.H. Conley: The junior wide receiver, tied for the most receiving touchdowns (nine) in the state this season, holds offers from ACC programs
Tyler Williams, Southeast Raleigh: The senior N.C. State recruit is making an impact on offense and defense, and he will likely play defensive back at the next level.
FOUR GAMES TO WATCH
Greene Central (4-2) at Kinston (6-0): It’s not just hoops that make the meeting between these two teams special. The winner here is in the driver’s seat of the Eastern Carolina 2A Conference.
Bunn (3-2) at Warren County (5-1): Four teams in the Northern Carolina 1A/2A Conference haven’t lost in league play yet. That changes after this game.
Rocky Mount Academy (5-0) at Faith Christian Rocky Mount (4-0): Just two miles separate these 8-man football rivals. Both have state championship hopes – Rocky Mount Academy in 2A, Faith Christian in 1A.
