GREENVILLE, N.C. (WNCT) — Week 7 of the high school football season started a few days early … with a bang.
J.H. Rose won at home Tuesday over previously unbeaten Jacksonville, 28-21. Both teams played Tuesday after COVID-19 protocols at Rose forced the game to be postponed from earlier this season. Rose (3-3, 2-0 Big Carolina Conference) is the only unbeaten team in league play outside of D.H. Conley, which opened up league play with a win at Northside-Jacksonville last Friday.
Conley plays Havelock this Friday. Rose hosts Northside-Jacksonville on Friday. Jacksonville is off.
That trend will continue into Week 8, with several schools playing Tuesday games then, too.
For now, here is the full schedule from information gathered at MaxPreps. Games are subject to change without notice due to COVID-19 and the weather. Be sure to check ahead with your favorite school to make sure they will still be playing the scheduled games below.
