In the second round of the playoffs, a rematch ensued between the East Lincoln Mustangs and the Statesville Greyhounds and Statesville was able to keep their undefeated streak alive. A 42-3 win improves their record to 11-0 and they will move on to the 3rd round. East Lincoln struck first with a FG but, after that it was all Statesville. Being stalled out their drives on offense made the stout East Lincoln defense tired and Statesville capitalized with their speedy efficient offense. With this loss, East Lincoln goes back to the drawing board returning every starter on defense and 8 starters on offense. Head Coach Dave Lubowicz made clear that he talked to the underclassmen to let them know that the future is in their hands. Work hard in the summer, strengthen relationships, and play smarter. If they can fulfill those things then the outcome maybe different next season. 

East Lincoln will return next season
