By the numbers...
By Andrew Ferrell
As head coach Chris Benedict and the Columbia City Eagles head into Semi-state play on Saturday, here are some facts to think about.
19: Number of years Benedict has been coaching (13 seasons at CC).
205: Wins Benedict has snatched while at CC (286 overall).
69: Percentage of games won by Benedict while with the Eagles.
26: Number of sectional titles won by Columbia City. (4 during current Benedict era).
6: Number of regional titles won by Columbia City (3 during current Benedict era).
1: Number of Semi-state titles won by Columbia City (2004).
1: Number of State final runner-up (2004).
If the game is on the line this Saturday, the numbers tell me to bet on Benedict and the Eagles.
