I never thought I would ever be discussing Mallard Creek coming to Asheville High for a playoff game. A 100 year old school with 1,100 students vs a 14 year old school with 2,500 students. Mallard creek is traditionally one of the best teams in the state of North Carolina. In fact, a couple of their state champion teams have been nationally ranked.
According to maxpreps, mallard creek has 104 players. I don’t know if that’s right but I can assure you they’ll have more than we will.
Nobody gave this mallard creek team a chance last week against state power Butler. I have heard multiple people say that this isnt your typical powerhouse mallard creek team from years past, but they not only beat Butler (8), they dominated them from start to finish. Mallard creek has 4 losses, but one was the number 1 team in NC, one was the number 1 team in SC, one was the number 2 team in NC, and one was a bad loss to North Meck. This will be the best team Asheville has faced all year. We are rolling pretty good on a 9 game winning streak but Mallard Creek will be a different animal. We are happy to be playing a home game this week and we will be the only game in WNC’s largest county. I expect a big crowd for this one. As I said last week about Davie county, I hope mallard creek enjoys their trip to North Carolina’s best high school football stadium…. But not too much.
