I have said that we will know a lot about Mt Airy after its first 2 games. Guess what? The same is true for East Surry. In fact, it is true for Starmount as well.
The first two games will not make or break the season for these teams, but I believe it tell us a great deal about what are the real expectations for the "PLAYOFFS".
My guess, this game is actually more important to East than to Starmount. But if Starmount were to win, OMG what a win for that program. Likewise if Starmount loses but plays East really tight, Starmount moves up in stature.
