A couple of interesting notes about Friday night's playoff results.

South Johnston's 10-7 victory over Eastern Guilford gave the Trojans a record for victories in a season with 11. South carries an 11-1 mark into Friday night's second round game against Rocky Mount (8-3).

Princeton is in the second round of the playoffs for the first time since 1981 after its 28-25 decision over Hayesville. The Bulldogs (9-3) take on Hobbton (9-3) in Princeton on Friday night.

About the blogger

D. Clay Best has served as the sports editor of The Herald since 1997 and has covered high school sports since 1992. He's gone through many neighborhoods of NFL-fandom including the Cowboys, Raiders and Patriots and is in limbo right now. If that's not enough to require therapy, he also has way too much brain space filled with useless info on the legendary '80s TV series "Miami Vice."
