In North Carolina, teams play as single-school teams (although some do not use their school's name because of in-school political reasons) in a league that runs from December into the first weekend of February.
Charlotte Catholic and Huskies will meet next week in the final of the North Carolina school league after both won semifinals this weekend.
Charlotte Catholic won comfortably, shutting out South Charlotte 47-0 to advance. This was a good result especially since Catholic were without a couple of starters who were still out following the Cathedral Catholic road trip two weeks ago.
The weather is a major concern this week as super-cold weather smacks a good chunk of the USA.
While many of you that live new the Great Lakes or in the Northern Great Plains are all saying “yeah, yeah, so what’s new?” remember that those in warmer states don’t have the infrastructure or the equipment to handle a major cold front.
The North Carolina school league semifinal matchups are confirmed after a couple of questions were answered over the weekend.
