Games were played on Thursday and Friday around Eastern North Carolina. Many teams chose to play Thursday to get a jump on the Labor Day weekend. Our Game of the Week turned out to be a good one as Cleveland rallied for a 34-23 win over D.H. Conley. East Duplin made the Backyard Brawl a no-contest affair with a 55-0 win. Meanwhile, New Bern tossed a shutout, beating West Craven 53-0.
