Burlington C. has tough competition in Big Northern East
Aug 28, 2013 7:58 PM - Opportunities abound for the Burlington Central football team. Third-year coach Rich Crabel has plenty of options at his disposal, particularly on offense where he said between 6-10 running backs and receivers, six different tight ends and four different fullbacks could play on any given night.
