Beddingfield (Wilson, NC) defensive end/tight end Everette Brown is ready for his team’s first regular season game, which takes place next Friday. The senior is excited about his team’s potential, saying they are looking good on offense and defense right now.

“I’m feeling real good about our team,” Brown said. “We had our first scrimmage this week, and I think we did pretty good. Our defense looks real good. We’re really fast, and everyone is flying to the ball. Offensively, our passing game has been effective. Our linemen are young, but if they can come around, then I think we’ll have a real good team.”

Of course, Brown is a big-part of Beddingfield’s success. This year, he moves back to his original position of defensive end after playing middle linebacker for the better part of last season.

“I’m playing defensive end this year,” Brown said. “Last year a lot of teams were running away from my side of the field. We’ve spent the off-season trying to balance our defense out, and I think we’ve done it. Teams aren’t going to be able to run to just one side this year.”
