Predicting Reynolds vs Asheville top NCHSAA football playoff second-round games

The NCHSAA football playoffs are in full swing. The second round begins on Nov. 13. Staff writer Zachary Huber (76-20) of the Times-News predicts the top eight games for this week in Western North Carolina. Game of the Week Reynolds (4-7) at No. 2 Asheville High (9-1) When : 7 p.m., Nov. 13 Quarterback Tay Williams threw for 227 yards and five touchdowns while completing 11 of 13 passes in Asheville High's 40-17 win over Reynolds in Week 8. Wide receivers Jams Skyes and Kaydan Whiteside combined for seven catches, 200 receiving yards and four touchdowns in the victory. Reynolds has struggled to score this season.
