RED SPRINGS — One team is undefeated, one team hasn’t yet won a game. But as Lumberton and Red Springs prepare to meet on Friday both coaches feel their team will have to play well to win.
The Pirates and Red Devils will meet on the gridiron for the second time on Thursday, with kickoff scheduled for 7 p.m. at Red Springs, marking the first time Red Springs has hosted Lumberton. The game was moved from Friday to Thursday due to the threat of inclement weather.
“They’re 2-0 for a reason,” Red Springs coach Tim Ray said. “Coach (Taurius) Baker’s been doing a good job over there, so we’re not trying to go in there and think that, you know, the competition they’ve played, nothing — they’re 2-0, they’ve played good ball, so we’ve got to go out there and play their best ball as well.”
