Hoping to get the game in before Hurricane Hanna can make landfall, Smithfield-Selma has moved up its football game with Chapel Hill to Thursday at 7:30 p.m.
The game between CHHS (1-0) and the (1-1) Spartans is rematch of last year’s state 4-A playoff game.
Chapel Hill won that second-round game in Smithfield, 13-7, in what some Triangle observers thought was an upset. The Spartans finished 2007 at 7-6, having won 21-16 in Chapel Hill during the regular season.
Also Thursday, Cardinal Gibbons (0-1) will be at Carrboro (0-2), and East Chapel Hill (0-2) will host Cedar Ridge (1-1). Each of those games is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.
