We’ve already passed the midway point of the high school football season.

Week seven of high school gridiron action on WCHL features another big-time showdown between two undefeated Big 8 conference schools. The collision between the 5-0 Chapel Hill Tigers and the 5-0 Southern Durham Spartans promises to be an entertaining contest under the lights in Chapel Hill.

The Tigers, boasting a rugged offensive and defensive line, have brushed aside their first five opponents, but will they have enough skill to dethrone the defending 3A state champions in Southern Durham? The Spartans have one of the premier players in the state in their offensive arsenal with senior quarterback Kendall Hinton.

We’ll have the call of the 7 p.m. Friday kickoff on 97.9 FM, WCHL. Live pregame coverage from Chapel Hill will begin at 6:30 p.m.

And don’t forget to start your evening off with ‘The Grid with Matt & Matt’, WCHL’s exclusive high school football pregame show hosted by Matt Oakes and Matt Paul.

At 6 p.m., the stage will be set with interviews from all the area head coaches, analysis and predictions from the night’s biggest games, the selection of The Grid Great of the Week, as well as the unveiling of the WCHL/Chapelboro Super Six rankings.
