Good recap of whole area. I got bored and figured I’d try to keep the fire poking on this post. My 2cents on the season are:
A head dropper and tears of disappointment for the EB season filled with hype and promises to be dashed by excessive injuries to numerous key players. It’s like the military, you sign up knowing you can go to another country and get shot up, you put the pads on and step out in the field knowing you can get hurt. Just how it is.
I thought higher bout Bandys with all the returns, good JV team of last year and big time coaches. Usually a program that’s always over .500 that don’t disappoint
Bunker Hill, hats off to em, down years later turned into something big and they made some noise this year. CVAC play of the year(as far as reg season conf games go) was 103 yard run after getting hit in backfield for a sure safety. I’m sure we’ll expect another good un next year.
Maiden, yeah you know you guys will be back and tougher next year. 1st and prob (I say prob cause I’m hopeful) last victory by EB over Maiden was with Shatley lead super power team in 07’.
Lincolnton and West Lincoln should be ok and are pretty established in what they got going on. One of the coolest guys you’d ever meet is a Lincolnton fan. EB still looking for that 1st varsity win against this classic program.
Newton and West Caldwell…to be cont LOL
Outside CVAC teams- expect another Hickory run. Maybe even a repeat. How bout dem’ Tornadoes. Cheerduck one happy man. But hey, they still ain’t the Hickory 96’ team. That’s just one set of boys that you can’t put into words how good they were. Watauga oughta do their thing til 3rd round. Freedom, look for improvement. North Lincoln- buddy watch out, we may have something. Almost all starters both sides of ball returning with a running back duo that will top the area. 3rd round at best due to the tallent that’s out there.
