North Buncombe football hosts Franklin in the 3-AA Playoffs 7:30 p.m. tonight (Friday, November 9) at North Buncombe Blackhawk Stadium.  This is the first time since 1995 North Buncombe is hosting a playoff game.  If watching high school football in cold weather is your thing, this is definitely the game for you.  North Buncombe beat Franklin earlier this year 31-23.  Despite this, their regular season records (North Buncombe was 8-3, Franklin was 6-5), and their playoff rankings (North Buncombe is ranked #7, Franklin is ranked #10), the Citizen-Times is picking Franklin to win by 1.  My biased self picks North Buncombe by 7.

Update, as well as proof I should never bet on football: 
Franklin 21, North Buncombe 20.
