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. It's doubtful that the Rockets will be able to keep up with one of the most high-powered offenses in Western North Carolina.

Walhalla’s Callahan signs with Citadel

Brady Callahan, a standout distance runner from Walhalla High School, has officially signed to continue his track and cross country career at The Citadel. Callahan, a member of the Class of 2027, makes his commitment to the Charleston-based military college official during the November signing period, cementing a journey built on grit and steady dominance in South Carolina’s Upstate. Before pledging his future to the Bulldogs, Callahan established himself as the backbone of Walhalla’s distance program. His high school resume highlights a blend of speed and endurance: Callahan captured the 800-meter state title during the 2025–2026 season, clocking an official time of 1:55.69. He earned three-time All-State and three-time All-Region honors in cross country. On the oval, he added three All-Region selections and an All-State nod while qualifying for state competition in the 800m, 400m hurdles, 4x400m relay, and 4x800m relay. Behind Callahan’s front-running pace, Walhalla’s cross country squad achieved top-five state finishes in three consecutive seasons and rose to the No. 1 ranking in Class 3A.

Hanna and Daniel, but when you’re a program that has played for the last two AAA state titles and have lost a combined six games in the four previous seasons, losing the first two is a stumble.
