Latest NC statewide prep football poll looks familiar
Mallard Creek maintains its grip on No. 1 in the latest N.C. Associated Press statewide football poll.
The Mavericks are No. 1 in the 4A poll. Two other Observer-area teams are also sitting atop the polls. Weddington is No. 1 in 3A and Shelby is No. 1 in 2A.
That holds from last week.
