Exclusive: Charlotte Observer-area public high school football schedules.
North Carolina’s private schools began playing high school football in September.
The public schools begin in February.
Instead of a 10- or 11-game regular-season, teams will now play seven games. Some non-conference rivalry games won’t happen this year.
In Cleveland County, rivals Crest and Shelby will not play this season. Both teams are former state champions and have one of the best rivalries in North Carolina.
Shelby’s seven-game schedule includes one non-conference game, against Cleveland County rival Kings Mountain on March 26. Shelby’s remaining games will be against teams in the Southwestern 4A. Kings Mountain is a 3A team.
In Charlotte, Vance and Mallard Creek, teams that have both won state championships, will start the season against each other on Feb. 26. Mallard Creek’s schedule includes seven games against teams in its I-MECK 4A conference.
