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.

Opinion: City should reopen more of Carrier Park, which has become an eyesore
At Carrier Park, the jungle gym is hard to spot these days, mainly because an actual jungle surrounds it. I suppose if you’re a botanist, the park would be a source of fascination these days, as the variety of eye-level weeds is truly spectacular. If you’re not, however, the weeds are just ugly as all get-out — and frustrating to park users.
