ONSL Futures League Recap: March 15-21

PBR of North Carolina will be following the Old North State League's (ONSL) Spring League throughout the next several weeks.  The spring league was needed due to the schedule change for teams in the NCHSAA.  Most teams were built to represent 1 to 2 area high school teams, giving their players a chance to get on the field prior to their delayed season.
