NORFOLK, VA (WTKR)- Only three weeks remain in the high school football regular season and two Southeastern District rivals headline the slate, looking to pick up a key late schedule victory.
Oscar Smith and King's Fork square off on the Bulldogs' home field Friday night in what will go a long way in deciding the district title. Big VHSL power points are also on the line as these two teams collide. The Tigers (5-2) currently hold the No. 5 spot in the Region 6A rankings, while King's Fork (7-0) holds the second position in Region 5A, about 1.5 points behind Maury.
The Bulldogs enter this match-up unbeaten, but have lost four in a row in lopsided fashion to Oscar Smith. King's Fork put up 84 points in a victory over Lakeland last week, while the Tigers have won three in a row, most recently a 35-7 triumph against Deep Creek.
Grafton and Tabb meet in a Bay Rivers District clash and looking to make some moves in Region 3A. Tabb is currently fourth in the regional rankings, while the Clippers sit in the No. 7 position. The Tigers are 5-2 on the year and are looking forward to getting back on the field and erasing the feeling of a 52-0 loss suffered at Lafayette last week. Grafton is 3-4 and looks to snap a three game slide.
Indian River will look to keep things going against Chesapeake rival Western Branch. The Braves (4-3) picked up a big victory over Nansemond River in a 45-38 shootout last week, snapping a string of two straight losses, both of which came on the final play of the game. The Bruins (3-4) topped Great Bridge their last time out to get back in the win column after back-to-back losses. Indian River is currently fifth in Region 5A, while the Bruins are sixth in Region 6A.
