Burns has only lost to teams in Cleveland County and those teams are still playing. Those teams will also be playing next week I think. Monroe didn't play West Charlotte and that to me would have been a bigger measuring stick. Forest Hills was going through some position changes and trying to figure things out but outside of that I am not sure Monroe has played anyone to the strength of Crest, KM and Shelby. I do think Burns has been battle tested more but we have to play better than we did last week. Penalties and Special teams are extremely important this week and both have hurt us in the past. I would love to see the offense throw some short routes to get the RB's out in space. We did that a little Friday. If Monroe stacks the box we have to be prepared to adjust. There is not one coach that does not want to keep playing so I know they will prepare. This could be a big upset and I am all for it. Let me also add that even though I was a little frustrated Friday about us making a few mistakes and letting that game get close, North Stanly does not quit. They are actually much better on defense than I thought. Both teams were laying the wood.
