The Spiders kick off the 2016 football campaign tonight at 7:30 vs. A.L. Brown.
Opportunties to play are abundant for the Spiders.
One major hole to fill is quarterback. Senior Jacob Irby and sophomore Larkin Lancaster will compete to replace four year starter Keenan Black.
The ground game will be in good hands with returning senior P.J. Hall and junior Jay Wilkinson.
Receivers Hamsah Nasirildeen, Ikym Hall, Antonio Campbell, Jourdain Heilig, and tight end Isaac Staton are all potent weapons.

Concord's offense had some new components in the lineup Friday night as Dee Bost took over at QB and Roger Smith got his first start at tailback. Jimmy Drye who had started the Spider's first three games at QB moved to flanker.
The first half was a defensive struggle with the teams trading stops and turnovers. That changed with about 3 minutes left in the half as Roger Smith ran around left end for a 24 yard touchdown. The snap was high on the PAT attempt and kicker Chad Myers scooped up the ball but was stopped short.
Mt Pleasant moved the ball down the field on their next possession but Concord linebacker Calvin Hillie stepped in front of an Evan Seamore pass and returned it to the Mt. Pleasant 18 yard line.
Concord wasted no time putting another TD on the board as QB Dee Bost scored on a 4 yard keeper a few plays later. Concord went for 2 and was stopped short. Concord took a 12-0 lead into halftime.
Both defenses played well in the 3rd quarter, Concord's lone score in the period was a 29 yard Chad Myers field goal for a 15-0 Concord lead.
The 4th quarter saw more scoring as Dee Bost found Jimmy Drye for a 29 yard touchdown. Chad Myers' PAT was good bringing the tally to 22-0.
Concord's offense continued to move the ball in the 4th. Dee Bost threw to the endzone and WR Lance Lewis went up over two defenders for the TD catch.
On the ensuing kickoff Mt. Pleasant kick returner Daniel Beaver took Chad Myers kick and returned it 93 yards for the Tigers lone score.

There was no full moon this week but it was still a wild night on Friday the 13th at Robert C. Bailey Stadium.
The first half was a slugfest. Both teams took each others best shot and kept getting back up. The standing room only crowd saw Kannapolis opening the scoring as Matthew Ouellette scored on a short run. The PAT was blocked.
Concord replied with a solid drive capped with a Mike Moore touchdown run. Kannapolis scored again as QB Jonathan Efird found Jesse Gillion for a 20 yard touchdown pass. Efird hit TE Zach Massey for the 2 point conversion.
