Area teams begin chase for state HS football championship Friday
Charlotte-area high school football teams begin the chase for a state championship Friday.
The N.C. Independent Schools playoffs have two 11-man Divisions.
In Division I, Providence Day (4-1) will host Rabun Gap School from Georgia (6-1). Charlotte Country Day (2-3) was scheduled to play at Charlotte Christian (4-1) but the Bucs will not be able to play the game after a player tested postive for an off-campus COVID-19 exposure and other team members were determined to have been in close contact with that player after contact tracing.
So Charlotte Christian will advance to the final and play host to the Providence Day-Rabun Gap winner in the state final Nov. 20
▪ In Division II, one area team is playing: the Cabarrus Warriors (5-2) will play host to Harrells Christian (7-0). Trinity Christian (3-3) plays at Christ School (4-2) in the other semifinal.
Christ School quarterback AJ Simpkins left Hopewell High School in Mecklenburg County this fall in order to reclassify as a junior and to play in the fall.
N.C. public schools begin play in February.
▪ The 8-man playoffs also begin Friday. In Division I, one Wake County-area team will play: unbeaten St. David’s School (6-0) will host Arendell Parrott in the Division I semifinals. Fayetteville Christian (4-2) plays John Paul Catholic (5-2) in the other semifinal.
