Notes: East Burke has lost 15 straight games and its tie for sixth place with West Iredell will have to be broken by a draw… Draughn has a four game win-streak, finished second in the conference, and will have a home first-round league tournament game next week against the No. 7 seed (East Burke or West Iredell) … If East Burke is the No. 6 seed, it plays at No 3 Hibriten in the first round … The Wildcats have already surpassed their best previous single-season win total (16-10 in 2010-11)… East Burke’s 22 losses match the most in a season in school history (1-22 in 1992-93).
