Following Mount Airys week 1 bye, they'll face a competitive opponent out of Mt.Holly, NC, Mountain Island Charter. Many don't expect MIC to have a problem with week 1 opponent Community School of Davidson. Coach Washington has done a great job coaching those kids this year and the kids have played well. MIC has a good defensive scheme and have managed to score nearly 500 total points and gain 6,000 all purpose yards in their 11 games. MICs UNC commit #5 Elijah Burris RB has proven to be a problem for several defenses (7,000 career rushing yards). With all that being said, the two teams "per game" rushing and passing averages are nearly the same, both passing for slightly over 100 and rushing for over 250 yds. This may turn out to be a battle from the backfields. I expect MA will advantage of the 2 weeks they have off to prepare and recover. This may turn out to be a competitive week 2 game. The winner of this game will meet East Surry 11/29.
