BECKLEY -

While every team is happy to make the postseason, Woodrow Wilson wants more. Head coach John H. Lilly said one goal for the team is to advance further than its 2011 first-round exit.

Beckley's 5-5 record earned them the No. 16 spot in AAA and paired them up against No. 1, and eventual champ, Martinsburg. Woodrow lost 49-13.

The Flying Eagles begin the season on August 24, with a home contest against Princeton.
