‘Dawgs, Eagles head to playoffs Fri.
By Andy Britt
NL Staff Writer
12 November 2008 — The Princeton and Rosewood football teams will live to play another day following the announcement of the 2008 NCHSAA playoff brackets on Sunday.
The Bulldogs (4-7) are seeded 12th in the Class 1-A West bracket and will travel to Salemburg to face 5th seed Lakewood (6-5), which finished third in the Super Six Conference.
“I thought we got seeded where we going to be,” Princeton Head Coach Russell Williamson said. “We were hoping we would be in the Sampson County area so we wouldn’t have to ride so far. Lakewood has got a pretty good team and they play in a good league. They’ve done really well this year to finish 6-4.”
Meanwhile, Rosewood (2-8) will have to travel to Creswell (8-1) to face the No. 2 seed, which won the Tideland Conference.
“I know they won their conference and they’re a No. 1 seed, but I think we’re just lucky to get in as a No. 15 seed,” Eagles Head Coach Bobby Britt said. “We’re just glad to be there.”
For a touch of irony, or perhaps poetic justice; 3-A South Johnston of the Cape Fear Valley Conference, which defeated Princeton in the season-opener, 55-7, failed to qualify for the playoffs.
The NCHSAA 1-A brackets are as follows:
EAST
(10) Perquimans (6-4) at (7) Robersonville Roanoke (4-6)
(15) Rosewood (2-8) at (2) Creswell (8-1)
(11) Northampton-West (5-5) at (6) Cape Hatteras (4-5)
(14) Pinetown Northside (2-8) at (3) Williamston (6-4)
(9) Jamesville (4-5) at (8) Manteo (5-5)
(16) Lejeune (2-8) at (1) Jones (10-0)
(12) Northampton-East (4-6) at (5) Plymouth (8-2)
(13) Mattamuskeet (3-6) at (4) Weldon (9-1)
WEST
(10) Hayesville (5-5) at (7) Hobbton (7-3)
(15) South Davidson (3-7) at (2) Elkin (9-1)
(11) Alleghany (4-6) at (6) North Duplin (5-5)
(14) North Stokes (3-7) at (3) Robbinsville (9-1)
(9) Rose Hill Union (6-4) at (8) South Stanly (7-3)
(16) Chatham Central (2-8) at (1) Mount Airy (10-0)
(12) Princeton (4-6) at (5) Lakewood (6-4)
(13) Rosman (3-7) at (4) Cherokee (8-2)
