PANTHERS UPSET VIKINGS!
The Carolina Panthers spoiled the homecoming of Gaffney's Sidney Rice, as they defeated the first place Minnesota Vikings 26 to 7. Carolina got 299 yards passing and 3 TD passes from QB Matt Moore and 109 yards rushing and a TD from Jonathan Stewart in their best offensive performance in weeks. The Panthers also got a dominating performance from their defense as they held the Vikings to 237 yards and 7 points. Gaffney's Sidney Rice was held to 4 catches for 69 yards and a key lost fumble. The Panthers record goes to 6 and 8 and must win their last two games to avoid a losing season.
NFL GAME OF THE WEEK had the Dallas Cowboys knocking the New Orleans Saints from the ranks of the undefeated with a 24 to 17 victory on Saturday night at the Super Dome. This big win by the Cowboys keeps their hopes alive for a NFC East Division Title. The Saints are still in a position to win home field advantage for the NFC Playoffs.
THE SHRINE BOWL OF THE CAROLINA'S was won by North Carolina by a score of 24 to 14. The game was sloppy because of bad field conditions as the game had 12 fumbles between the two teams.
HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL had the 2nd ranked Gaffney Indians staying undefeated as they beat the 3rd ranked Dorman Cavaliers 54 to 49.
THE ARMCHAIR COACH went 6 and 7 in game predictions this past weekend. My record for the season is 206 and 87 for a percentage of .703.
