Davie’s football team enjoyed a relatively easy win in its Central Piedmont Conference opener, 41-13 over Reynolds, which hasn’t topped five wins since 2009.

But here’s where the rubber meets the road. Here come the big boys – Davie plays at West this Friday and at home against Glenn the following week. West and Glenn are both unbeaten.

Davie-West is a game that everyone looks forward to. This will be a classic running team (West) vs. a run defense (Davie). Running backs Mack Duke and G’mone Wilson have carried West’s offense during the Titans’ 7-0 start. Davie’s front seven is stingy against the run, allowing 1.5 yards per carry (386 rushing attempts, 581 yards for opponents).

But Davie’s biggest fear will be trying to contain senior All-American K.J. Henry, who plays outside linebacker and some offense. Henry is a likely future player in the SEC or ACC.

“K.J. is playing more in space,” Davie coach Tim Devericks said. “They’re taking advantage of his athleticism. He’s going to present a challenge in run and pass. So we’re going to have to study film and see what they’re doing with him.”

Davie (4-3 overall) is 1-0 in the CPC, but it’s going to be difficult to get to 2-0. But the defending CPC champion has playmakers on both sides of the ball. Therefore, it has a chance to do something special in Clemmons.

Last year Davie subdued West 20-3 to snap a four-game losing streak to the Titans. With the game hanging in the balance in the fourth quarter, Mason Wilson made a 26-yard TD reception to bump Davie’s lead to a comfortable 13-3. Linebacker Cody Hendrix added the exclamation mark, returning an interception 70 yards for a touchdown. Davie limited Duke to 65 yards on 17 carries.

“We’ve got to go back over there again, so it’ll be another hostile homecoming environment,” Devericks said. “They’ve got a lot of talent. But we’re going to try to get our bunch ready and give them a battle.”
