CONCORD â If there was one thing A.L. Brown coach Mike Newsome and Concord coach Marty Paxton could agree on entering Fridayâs Battle for the Bell game, it was how each team would likely score its points.
With its excellent athletes, the Cream of Cabarrus top-ranked Wonders had built a reputation for scoring quickly and by the big play. As a more methodical, run-oriented offense, Concord has favored ball-control this season and limiting the opponentâs opportunities.
Because the offensive strategies were laid out on the table, it would have to be the response of the teamsâ respective defenses to determine the outcome of the vaunted rivalry and the regular seasonâs final game
