HOW IS THIS A PREVIEW???????????? It is a schedule

Anonymous said...

Again, No mention of Unionville Piedmont. 2009 - 2010 Western NC State Champions and we beat most of the teams you are previewing above. Someone needs to take you guys for a little drive out to eastern Union County to see where Piedmont actually is located. This is so funny!!!!

In these types of previews, it's up to the coach to submit the information. Tell Piedmont's coach to send his or her stuff in.

I know for a fact that Unionville Piedmont didnt beat Robinson last year.
