East Wilkes 4-0 @ MA 6-0

And Coach Atkins respectfully played everything close to the vest last year. EW has a small punchers chance if everyone is back and healthy and if Mt. Airy plays as lackluster on Offense as they did against Starmount. With that being said Ew defense is no where near as aggressive or as consistent as either one of the teams in The Bears or Rams. EW needs sustained drives.. and keep their heads up when #4 breaks a BIG run for a TD.. don’t fold as in years past.. Cardinals need to be able to take a punch (several of them) while delivering solid blows of their own …keep # 22 out of the Offensive backfield… Will be a Loooooooong Night if you don’t!!! Just ask Starmount’s QB…
 
If you keep 22 out of backfield his counter part on the other side #21 will eat you alive also. You are not going to have success running the ball against the Bears. Starmount would not have scored that last td if the Bears had kept the same def out there instead of going to a prevent which never works. Good luck to EW they a re having a good season for being so young.
 
Our defense is better than last year but they still have weaknesses. They let surry central back in the game in the 2nd half and really struggled against Wilkes Central. I don't see us being very competitive in this game. Don't get me wrong we have decent talent and several hard nosed kids, just not enough to handle MA.

MA by atleast 4 tds.
 
I don't expect too competitive of a game here. EW might break off a long run or pass or sustain a drive to score with some penalty mistakes by MA, but it will be tough. Mount Airy defense is top notch again, so it's just hard to score. Any game they may lose this year will probably be similar to the lower scoring game against Starmount. Either way, East is having a good season so far and own the Wilkes county title for the year.
 
Love the way MA plays defense. It's always refreshing when a team hangs their hat on defense and just decides to go out and shut people down. It's awesome the players have bought into that type of mentality. Usually kids who do that and buy in and are willing to go out and sacrifice for the team, will grow up and be pretty successful. Defense isn't sexy but when it is played really well it is a thing of beauty.
