Northern Nash-Nash Central observations
Nash Central wrapped up second place in the NEW 6 Conference with a 41-18 home win Monday night over Northern Nash. Because the Bulldogs lost earlier this month at Rocky Mount High, they cannot win the conference. But, because they beat both SouthWest Edgecombe and Wilson Fike, they cannot finish in third. Not bad.
Nash Central quarterback Cameron Holloway is, without any doubts, one of the more explosive players in the Twin Counties. Holloway rushed 11 times Monday night for 161 yards (14.64 yards per carry) and a career-best four touchdowns. (Holloway is at 929 yards rushing this season and will likely eclipse 1,000 yards on Friday at Southern Nash.) If he is able to connect with the Nash Central receivers more often during the playoffs, the Bulldogs might be able to mount a run deep into the postseason.
Northern Nash has sustained long drives at stretches during each of its last two games and, proverbially speaking, appears poised to put everything together on at least one side of the football next season. The Knights strung together a 15-play, 91-yard drive during the second quarter that resulted in their first touchdown of the night. That drive consumed 7 minutes, 31 seconds of the second quarter, and proved the Knights are able to play ball-control offense.
