Fall 2021 East Burke Football: Wild Bunch return to CVAC

After eight years, East Burke makes a return to the Catawba Valley Athletic Conference ready to make an impact.

"We are just going to compete each week, we are just going to play each week and not let the opponents' prestige affect us," said East Burke second-year head coach Derrick Minor.

The fall 2021 season will be the first full season for Minor after having a conference-only schedule last spring.

"It's one of those things we got to take one game at a time and enjoy the moment, hopefully, we won't have any issues (with Covid)."

Quarterbacks: Carter Crump, Ben Mast
