North Carolina Football Association (NCFA)

Salisbury:
After Brit Brett's 2006 8-4 campaign with the Popes ended in a 40-3 loss to Burlington a lot of NCFA fans thought the Popes run atop the Mountain Division was over, but how wrong those fans were.  The Popes went undefeated last year and badly beat Burlington in the championship game.  

So where does Brett go from here?  

The big concern of Popes fans lies at quarterback.  Despite the fact that Vince Lande looked better than Van Egger when he played last season fans know that it was Egger who brought them a championship and with him starting his 12th year there is some concern on how much longer the Popes can ride his back.  Of course he gets solid support from the best defensive unit in the league and the league's best running attack.  

Don't be surprised though to see the Popes looking at a quarterback like Walter Chance or trying to help their aging defensive line.  Like the Bees the Popes will not be looking to make any eye popping moves in the draft just help to build their base for the future and balance any areas where they feel they need support.
