Offense is turning out to be the name of the game in area football action this season, and all area teams are firing up their defense before this week’s matchups,
West Columbus is on the road to East Bladen. The Vikings are standing at 3-0 in the conference, 6-1 for the season, while the Eagles are 4-0 in the Waccamaw 1A/2A conference and 5-3 overall.
Heide Trask will hit the road for Stallion Country Friday, taking on South Columbus at 7:30. Both teams are three wins and four losses for the season.
The Whiteville Wolfpack will take on the Pender Patriots Friday. The Pats made state football history and national news in their game with Hobbton last week, with a score reminiscent of basketball rather than football. Pender downed the Wildcats 106 to 83. The Patriots are 4-3 overall and 1-2 in the conference.
Whiteville punished East Columbus, 64-0 in last week’s play. The Pack is 5-2 overall and 2-1 in conference play.
The East Columbus Gators, with a 1-3 conference record and 2-6 for the season, have an off week. They’ll return to the playing field Oct. 20 in Rocky Point, going up against Heide Trask.
