Members of the East Bladen men’s soccer team continue their efforts to capture a state championship. Next match is set for First Flight HS in Kill Devils Hill on Tuesday.  Eagle coach Jay Raynor, his players, and supporters, will travel over 250 miles (one-way) for the match.  We wish them the best.

BladenOnline had another terrific week.  A few months ago, 100,000 pages viewed was a very good week.  Last week, 164,667, 2nd highest in our history, 33,684 visits (5th highest in history) and 45,781 pages viewed on Sunday, Oct. 30 was the second most for a single day.

We found a need and continue to fill it.
