Team Preview: Lincoln Charter
Head Coach: Brad Gabriel
Conference: Southern Piedmont 1-A
Last Season: 29-4 (13-1 in conference) Advanced to NCHSAA 1-A Regional Championship.
Outlook: Lincoln Charter is returning 4 starters and 8 of top 10 guys back from 29-4 season in which they won conference, conference tournament, Sectionals, and made a Regional Final appearance.
The Eagles have made strides each year and expect this year to be no different. Lincoln Charter was one shot away from playing in the state championship game last year and their off season focus has been to get back again. The Eagles are bigger, faster and stronger and are deeper this year as well.
