East 62, Floyd Central 0
Lost amid all the hubbub over East’s record-setting offense is the incredible play of the defense.
Consider that Friday’s win was the third shutout of the season by the O’s. That’s pretty impressive, especially when you consider how many fourth quarters this season have been JV vs. JV.
The last time East had three shutouts in one season was 2006, but one of those came in the regional. The last time East had this many shutouts in the regular season was 1983, when the Olympians blanked four opponents in a 9-2 season.
And in that 1979 state championship season? Six shutouts and a total of 74 points allowed total in a 13-0 season.
Just saying, is all.

The BNL story says East had 4 starters injured and not playing. A few questions:
1. Who?
2. What position?
3. Will they be back in playoffs?
