Dropping to 4a want be a gift for any team if they had to play EF or SC. The only team that truly has no threat is MC based on what i saw the other night. Their are no other teams built like that in any class of football in NC period. This is the same class that came to SC as 10th graders. Once that qb opens it up more i just dont see anyone stopping them and scoring enough. Vance can slow them down for sure but i think 28 is the magic number you have to score to beat Creek this year. That is a very small group of hands that can do that. DF was beat to a pulp on defense the last quarter. Saw two kids take the deepest pursuit angle they could find in order to avoid hitting that MAC truck. No different than when Crouch was playing. Kids were avoiding that contact. As they say sometimes you have to make a business decision. MC is an elite team and then you have IMO 6 really good teams that could pull an upset:
EF, Vance, SC, RC, MP and maybe Butler. I would not bet on any of them doing so and obviously 2 of them want even be in their classification. Its early and injuries and foolishness can raise their heads at anytime. If RC is not east this year I do know the championship game will be one of the worst since Butler beat Jack Britt like they stole something twice.
