BUNN -- For Bunn and Louisburg, both squads' respective postseason football fates are more tied toward next week's Northern Carolina Conference schedule. Even so, the Louisburg- Bunn rivalry is always important to both sides -- and Friday's NCC meeting was no different. Bunn entered the contest knowing that, regardless of the outcome, next week's game against Roanoke Rapids will determine if the Wildcats can hang on to the No. 2 seed out of the NCC for the Class 2-AA State Playoffs.
