MULLINS, S.C. (WBTW) — After coming up one win short the last two seasons from winning a state championship the Pee Dee Academy Eagles believe the third time’s a charm.

The team will be returning 11 starters but will need to replace stars like former quarterback Jake Lane and wide receiver Ryan Brewer. While the team is young, head coach Jonathan King believes once everyone gets up to speed their work ethic, attitude and drive will push them to Columbia.

The Eagles will also be in some new uniforms for the upcoming season thanks to off-season fundraising.
