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.

'Historic bloodbath' for Republicans forces change at NC legislature

The startling gains for Democrats in North Carolina’s 2026 midterms, according to Michael Bitzer , were largely driven by dissatisfaction over Republican President Donald Trump. But what happens to North Carolina’s government in 2028, he believes, will largely be up to state legislators themselves. Bitzer, director of the Center for North Carolina Politics and Public Service at Catawba College, shared his analysis of the recent election during a Nov. 12 event hosted by the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce at The Restoration Asheville. Like most midterms, he said, 2026 could be considered a referendum on the president and his party. Yet the results were nearly unprecedented, he continued, calling them a “historic bloodbath” for Republicans.

Voters in each of North Carolina’s 100 counties, noted Bitzer, supported Democratic Senator-Elect Roy Cooper more strongly this year than they backed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris in 2024. Cooper ended up winning his race against Republican Michael Whatley by nearly 20 percentage points.
