* Some information and stats courtesy of The Star-Democrat and Bill Haufe

1. North Caroline (1-0)-The Bulldogs went into Easton after losing there 33-20 earlier in the year and came out with a 41-14 blowout win. Sophomore running back Zymear Smith carried 15 times for a season-high 170 yards and five touchdowns, and North Caroline’s defense held Easton star quarterback Kevin O’Connor without a running or passing touchdown for the first time all season...Friday at Stephen Decatur

2. Wicomico (1-0)-The Indians won on the road at Queen Anne's 20-13 getting revenge for a 35-28 loss at home earlier in the season. The Indians switched up their offense and put QB Darius Foreman under center with an I formation and some H Back looks, used Malique Leatherbury as a decoy and were successful. They also held RB KJ Smothers out of the end zone but once to deliver the win....Friday at Kent Island

3. Parkside (1-0)-The Rams went on the road to Fallston and delivered big with a 27-24 victory accumulating 622 total yards off offense. Nazere Holden-27 rushes-357 yards- TD runs of 67, 10 and 78 TD catch of 27 yards. RB Bryant Waters- 25 rushes for 178 yards- 2pt run. Both Holden and Waters went over the 1000 yard mark for the season with their rushing...Friday at Harford Tech

4. Stephen Decatur (1-0)-The Seahawks wasted little time and rolled CM Wright at home 45-13. QB Bryce Coleman had multiple TD runs and passes in the win...Friday vs. North Caroline

5. Kent Island (1-0)-The Bucs took down #8 North Harford at home 47-7. Quarterback Tommy McAndrews completed 7 of 15 passes for 158 yards and two touchdowns. Bucs RB Kasey Heath carried 16 times for 164 yards and two touchdowns, and Keegan O’Brien had 34 yards on six touches, had two receptions for 33 yards, and scored a pair of touchdowns...Friday vs. Wicomico

6. Queen Anne's (0-1)-The Lions fell at home to Wicomico 20-13 after beating them on the road 35-28 a few Thursday nights ago. The Lions got away from running the ball as much and threw the ball where they did not have a lot of success. They had some timely penalties and while they made two FGs, they missed another albeit a very long kick.  

7. Easton (0-1)-The Warriors had a rough night of it falling at home to North Caroline 41-14. Playing its first home playoff game since 1993, Easton struggled offensively, turning the ball over six times on downs. The Warriors recovered three fumbles and intercepted Bulldogs quarterback Nasai Bell once, but couldn’t channel any of those opportunities into points. Hounded all game, O’Connor was sacked five times, and was stopped for losses on three other plays. The senior quarterback was held to a season-low 27 yards rushing, and completed 15 of 33 passes for 130 yards and one interception.

8. Cambridge-SD (0-1)-The Vikings fell on the road to Elkton 7-6. Scoring in the 2nd half they were a lone extra point from ultimately what would have turned into OT.

9. Colonel Richardson (1-0)-Won over Washington as the Jags declared forfeit two hours before the game...Friday vs. Bo Manor

10. James M. Bennett (0-1)-The Clippers fell on the road to Chesapeake-AA 42-6 on the road in the lone 3A matchup in the Bayside.

11. Kent County (0-1)-Fell to Perryville on the road 44-14.

12. Snow Hill (0-1)-Fell to Green Tree Academy of Baltimore on the road 60-6.

13. Washington (0-1)-Forfeited to Colonel Richardson two hours before the game.
