They posted a 6-2 record in their first eight games last season but lost their last 14 contest and didn’t notch a win in the harsh Cumberland District.
Even with struggles, optimism for Castlewood
CASTLEWOOD, Va. — The last few seasons have been forgettable for the Blue Devils. They didn’t pick up a win last year and now have 37 losses in a row.

The streak does create a lot of stress.
