Round one of this season's Rutherford County Championship goes to R-S Central (4-3, 1-3), who got past Chase 26-7 last Friday. It was Central's rushing game led by Tyrese Tate that led them to four touchdowns on the ground and well over 250 yards in that category. Meanwhile, the Hilltoppers defense allowed just over 30 yards rushing on the night. Chase (2-6, 0-5) was their own worst enemy with penalties and just not executing when in dire need of doing so.
The Hilltoppers will host Kings Mountain (6-2, 3-2), which they have beaten two straight years. Kings Mountain is much better than a year ago. The biggest reason is that Jair McCluney has been tough to stop at running back. Jake Merchant and Kavin Mosely lead the wide receiver corps for Kings Mountain.
Central will have to

At times, East was impressive. They registered five sacks, came up with punishing hits and had three interceptions on defense in the first 30 minutes against Shelby. Offense is still a big question for East, even though it does seem to get a little better every week. No shame for the Cavaliers in the run game. Shelby's run defense seems to be getting a little better every week as East was held to just 62 yards rushing in last week's loss.
Draughn and East both like to run the pigskin and Draughn (4-4, 2-3) can make this a tight game if they control the line of scrimmage. East does have a speed advantage and a little better defense than Draughn.

Coach Jason Weatherby’s thoughts on Escalon: “They are really scrappy. They aren’t quite as big as they were last year, but I think they are a little faster. I expect a knock down, drag out game. And that’s the way Escalon verses Calaveras is supposed to be.”

The Buckeyes struggled early last season, including a shocking loss to Virginia Tech before Urban Meyer’s assemblage of talent made its magical run that ended with a championship in the inaugural College Football Playoff. After a solid outing against Virginia Tech in their season opener this season, the Buckeyes have looked out of whack against two non-Power 5 conference foes (Hawaii and Northern Illinois). Despite playing outside the big boy conferences, both Hawaii and Northern Illinois are capable opponents. But, Ohio State is supposed to dominate the competition on its alleged inferior schedule — a forecast that hasn’t come to fruition. Three weeks into the season, Meyer still doesn’t know who his starting quarterback is and his loaded offense has looked less than impressive. The Buckeyes will attempt to get their offense on track against Western Michigan on
