Might as well get this one started... This should be a fantastic game! Honestly probably the best 3rd round game in the West, maybe the state...
I don't know much about NL other than you guys run the option well & are strong defensively... I always hate playing option teams
As for Burns, no secret what they will try to do... Pryor, Pryor, Pryor... Hey when it works, stick with it... To the tune of 42 carries, 413 yards & 3 TDs against Hibriten... You think you have him wrapped up and before you know it, he's 10 yards down field...
What I think will decide this one may very well be the level of competition played previously.. That's an advantage for Burns.. I'm not sure NL has played any teams anywhere near what Burns will bring... Their 1 loss was to a 7-5 Parkwood team... All of NLs wins came against teams that any Cleveland County school would beat by 14+, while Burns played at least 3 teams I think would beat NL (Shelby, Crest & Kings Mountain)
Should be a fun one next week! I don't think NL has ever been in the 3rd round & Burns hasn't been there since 2011.. Can't wait! Let's hear it!
Right now I think Burns by 3
