Plymouth North Eagles Spread Wings

Burkhead's Eagles are looking for a push beyond last year's 8-3 effort.

The Plymouth North Eagles set the school single-season rushing record last year, and Christian Carr is returning for his final season on the team. The roster is mostly made up of seniors.

Carr’s 1,765 yards and and repeat honors as an Atlantic Coast League (ACL) all-star paved the way for this Eagles team. The school conference affiliation will shift from the ACL to the Patriot League.

“It doesn’t change anything,” Carr said to ESPN. “If we play like we can, we should do good. It doesn’t depend on the league, it’s about how we play.”
