There’s a new No. 1 in the All-NC high school football rankings

There’s a new No. 1 team in this week’s All-North Carolina high school football rankings.

Providence Day rallied to beat Charlotte Christian Friday 32-28 in a battle of the top two teams in the state.

This week in the rankings by the Charlotte Observer and The News & Observer, Providence Day moves up one spot to No. 1. The Chargers are 2-0. Charlotte Christian (1-1) drops one spot to No. 2. The teams could potentially play twice more this season: in a conference tournament championship game later this month and in a state playoff game in November.

Providence Day will play at No. 3 Charlotte Country Day (1-1) Friday night.
