West End High gets one more try at a victory, facing a much-improved Good Hope football team.
The injury-plagued Patriots have had a rough season, having to call up many junior varsity players to fill the varsity roster.
Meanwhile, the Raiders have enjoyed a good season after four dismal seasons of their own. Good Hope managed only seven wins from 2009-12.
Last week against Gaston, Chase Blanton and Caegan Epperson each scored a rushing touchdown.
