<h5>Here’s a preview of some NCHSAA games to keep an eye on in Week 2 of the month of January.</h5>
<p> </p>
<p>Wednesday, 7 PM, Washington (5-5) @ Greene Central (12-2)</p>
<p>Young and scrappy Washington High School will get back into conference action with Greene Central on the horizon after getting a victory in the inaugural 252/919 Winter Classic this past weekend. Unsigned sharpshooter [player_tooltip player_id="1364734" first="Ashton" last="Woolard"] leads the way for them though they’ve got young talent as well in [player_tooltip player_id="1364736" first="Jerai" last="Davenport"] and [player_tooltip player_id="1220132" first="Javon" last="Williams"]. Greene Central looks to remain unbeaten in with [player_tooltip player_id="577870" first="Dontavious" last="Pettaway"] and Tre Dodd leading the charge.</p>
<p>Wednesday. 7:30 PM, Rocky Mount @ Southern Nash</p>
<p>AAU teammates will become opponents on Wednesday night when [player_tooltip player_id="854919" first="Jamal" last="Townsend"] squares off against [player_tooltip player_id="1046006" first="Jordan" last="Vick"] in what should be an exciting matchup. Townsend is the leader in scoring, rebounds and steals while Vick leads his squad in scoring, assists, steals and blocks. The Firebirds look to stay unbeaten at 5-0 in conference action while the Gryphons will have their own plans as well as they’re 4-0 as well. This should be a good one.</p>
<p>Thursday, 8:00 PM Enloe (7-4) @ Athens Drive (9-4)</p>
<p>Enloe High is off to a 1-0 start already in conference action and looks to keep things going as the Jaguars look to hold homecourt and stay unbeaten in conference play as well at 1-0. [player_tooltip player_id="1030034" first="Shaun" last="Kenedy"] and [player_tooltip player_id="577869" first="Elijah" last="Harris"] are the leading names for Athens Drive while Enloe is led by electric unsigned senior guard [player_tooltip player_id="1342410" first="Josh" last="Laney"]. He’s a name to get eyes on in the 2022 class.</p>
<p>Friday, 7 PM. Mallard Creek (10-4) @ JL Chambers (11-5)</p>
<p>Two powerhouse programs clash on Friday as Mallard Creek will travel to JL Chambers in what should be a fun one.

<p>Friday, 7 PM Greene Central (12-2) @ Farmville Central (11-3)</p>
<p>All eyes will be on Farmville Central as they look to remain unbeaten in conference play with a current record of 4-0 against a tough Greene Central squad on Friday. It’s a rivalry renewed as the Jaguars will certainly get all they can handle and them some from the Rams.</p>
