Friday Night Lights: Aug 30

Week one has started for some of Tar Heel recruits and some will be beginning their season this coming Friday. Either way, football has begun for all high schools around the country and has a bunch of top match ups against other top schools around the area and country.
The 2014 North Carolina recruits went 5-7 during week one, with several players and teams playing out of conference games, warming themselves up and learning about their teams before starting conference play in a couple of weeks.
