East Burke vs. Independence

When you come out of the parking lot, turn right. Go to the stop sign make another right. When you get to the next stop sign you should be in front of East Burke Middle School. Turn left and you'll see I-40.

 

Either way works. Both are about the same distance.

 

East has a real chance in this one. Having seen this east squad on one of their best nights shut down EB, a running back on the same level as Rod, they can do this. East Burke is a big, talented football team, Indy is having one of thier worst seasons in some time. It will be played outside of Charlotte, it will be a low scoring affair, it will be the biggest win in Cavs history.
Good luck from the Pioneers!

 

If Indy is allowed to play this game, they'll beat East Burke by at least 30 points.

 

Hey Bucko I will take that bet!!!! They may score 30 (I dont think so) but IMO we will score with them. Indy will be Indy but these EB guys are tough. #20, #43, #7 will take it to you, and the "O" line is really good.

 

I wish the best for the Pioneers. It seems like all the talk is about Independence coming to Icard. I think our boys are ready to play. It would be great for 2 teams from the NW4A to be in the finals. Go Pioneers. How would you like to see Britenstein, Frogge, Kincaid in the same backfield in the East - West game. Maybe Boughman and Mayes at wide outs with Russell at QB.

 

speakng from experience this is going to be the toughest game that east has played ever. those kids from indy and their coach are for real. they are playing with alot of resentment for losing this year- i mean its the first time theyve lost in almost 8 years. i want to see the cavs take this one for the nw4a- but this game isnt going to have to be played almost perfectly.indy has a stellar defense too. they will be faster and just as physical as anyone east has played. i do like the fact that the burke boys have never backed down and that is going to be a big part of it friday night, indy wins alot of games by reputation then execution. if east hits them in the mouth and can control the ball they have a chance. indy is a run team this year and if east doesnt stop chisholm like they didnt against reynolds or even my titans at times those big offensive lineman from indy will dominate. if they can make up for the lack of speed and use the home crowd i can see east pulling out an upset. and thats what it will be in the peoples eyes away from the nw4a.

 

Lets be real it would be an upset but thats what makes us watch EB has a real shot at pulling off an upset vs Indy. I dont think there is any fear in the EB team right now they are looking to smack them in mouth. Make no mistake they are going to be the best team that EB has played and we can stop a good running back ask Watauga. Indy has many weapons but I think we may have the will to win, but who knows.

 

Lets be clear on the upset thing an upset does not always mean that a weaker team has beaten a strong team; it can also be that a team that was not expected to win does. In the case pf Indy vs EB it would be that they are expected to win on rep. alone.:229031_hail: not. That is what has the EB team a little XXXX!!

 

dont take it the wrong way guys im on your side- just that people outside the mtn area dont look at these schools as being good and we that have seen them know otherwise. i agree totally with what you guys are saying.
