Wake Forest, N.C. While the 2021 spring football season looked a little dicey at times for the Cougars, Wake Forest is going back to the 4AA Eastern regional final for the fifth time in as many years. The Cougars took down Pinecrest by a score of 35-21 in Friday night’s second round playoff game. In a normal year with a normal playoff system, this would have been a third round matchup. Along with Richmond’s loss to Cardinal Gibbons, Pinecrest’s loss means that the Sandhills Athletic Conference will not have a representative in a regional final for the first time since 2015.

Wake Forest, N.C. Despite having some struggles this season, Wake Forest was once again able to take down its crosstown rival Heritage. Wake Forest has now won all 11 varsity football contests against the school that opened minutes down the road last decade.
Some fans speculated that this season could produce the first win for Heritage in the series after Wake Forest was defeated by Rolesville 36-3 a couple of weeks ago. Heritage lost to Rolesville 29-21 last week. But, after today’s 48-35 win, it appears Reggie Lucas and company still have Heritage’s number.
