To win the state you need to be able to beat any other team, but the new revised 4-A bracket has Fuquay-Varina (10-1, but seeded as a 10-0 club) scaring hard at a more much difficult second round assignment. That is if the Bengals can beat 16th seeded Fayetteville Sanford in the first round.
The second-round opponent would be perennial power Douglas Byrd or 2007 4-AA champion New Bern. Wow!!
Durham Hillside and Southern Durham could be headed for a second-round matchup, too.
In the second round, I'm picking Southeast Raleigh over Smithfield-Selma; Hillside over Southern Durham; Byrd over Fuquay; and Rose over Northern Durham
My Eastern 4-A semifinals are Hillside over Southeast Raleigh and Byrd over Rose.
Hillside goes to the finals.
