SouthWest Edgecombe-Southern Nash observations

By Hugh W. Kellenberger | Monday, October 29, 2007, 11:42 PM

• The Firebirds hung in just as long as they could. When you have that many guys playing both ways, and on special teams, it’s going to be difficult to stand up against a SouthWest Edgecombe team that has a two-platoon system.
• Monday night football = yawn. The fields were bad Friday, but the crowds are always lackluster on Mondays.
• Jesse Mercer left Monday’s game early with an ankle injury, and coach Brian Foster expressed doubt that he would be back next week. A hard, tough thing for a good kid who means a lot as a player and leader.
• The Cougars needed this win. A loss Monday would have put SouthWest Edgecombe in a tie for fourth place in the NEW 6, with Southern Nash holding the tie-breaker. Suddenly a team that did not lose in non-conference is potentially needing a win to get in.
