East Wilkes is going to embarrass WC next week. That defense is horrendous.
Statistically, East has a marginally better offense and a significantly better defense than central. I'll take East.Not so sure about that. Both teams lost by 1 point to Surry Central. I got Wilkes Central in this one. EW's defense is better than W. Central's D by a good amount. But, Wilkes Central's offense is far,far better than EW's offense.
