Who are the best high school football teams in the state? Here are Week 1 state rankings
By Chris Hughes
Each week during the high school football season, the Charlotte Observer and News & Observer will have statewide high school football rankings, revealed every Wednesday. Here’s the first regular-season poll, with little surprise at the top level, as Julius Cambers takes the top spot in the top (4A) division.
