This game is always a packed house. I think with MA losing last weekend might keep some people away, but it shouldn't. The ES/MA game was a packed house with SRO all the way around and then some. East Surry has a much bigger stadium than Mount Airy so it might not look as packed as last year. Last year, everyone seemed to really think Mount Airy was the stronger team but East Surry managed to win. This year, East Surry looks like the stronger team. Today also marks what would be the 18th birthday of senior standout Gage Edwards - I have a feeling the cardinals will be playing with even more emotion than before since his performance last year against Mount Airy was one to remember.
