A historical win to many in EBHS history, the Cavaliers made their first trip to the third round of the 4A state playoffs after defeating a strong offensive team from Kannapolis that featured future NFL standout Ethan Horton.

The lone Cavalier points came off a Mark Isenhour to Mike Buff 18-yard touchdown pass and a Marty Fulbright point-after kick.

The visiting Wonders scored on an 83-yard drive but were held to 76 yards total the rest of the way.

Isenhour finished with 86 passing yards on seven completions.

This win also broke a 15-game winning streak for AL Brown.

On Homecoming night, the Cavaliers pulled out a win over the visiting Titans off a 33-yard field goal by Marty Fulbright.

Jerry Young and Allen Shuping each ran in a nine-yard touchdown run for East Burke, with McDowell scoring two touchdowns.

A McDowell safety looked to give the Titans an advantage until the Cavaliers managed a defensive stand to get one more possession after forcing a Titans punt.

The winning field goal by Fulbright was set up by a screen pass from quarterback Tommy Blanton to running back Chris Johnson for 43 yards.
