Charlotte Latin 45, Covenant Day 14
Charlotte Latin rolls to 7-0, stops Covenant Day
Charlotte Latin is doing some pretty historic stuff this season under second-year coach Drew Dayton.
After finishing 3-7 last year with a three-game losing streak, the Hawks have started the 2024 season on a roll. Wednesday night, Charlotte Latin ran away from Mecklenburg County rival Covenant Day 45-14 Wednesday night to improve to 7-0 on the season.
The 7-0 start is the best at the school since 2021 and ties for the second-best in school history. In 2007, Charlotte Latin finished 13-0 with its best team in school history and became the first private school to win The Charlotte Observer’s Sweet 16 regional poll championship.
The Covenant Day game was moved up from Friday to avoid possible tropical storm conditions that are expected to arrive in the area later this week, courtesy of Hurricane Helene.
Latin really got going in the second quarter and third quarters, when the Hawks scored 28 straight points to turn a 7-7 game into a blowout.
Up 35-7 though, Covenant Day tried to make a push.
First, it got a 95-yard touchdown pass from QB Logan Misocky, a former Charlotte Latin player, to Chris Rivens. On the ensuing kickoff, Latin fumbled and Covenant Day got the ball,down 35-14, at the Latin 29, but ended up punting.
On Convenant Day’s next possession, Latin’s Burke Denny intercepted Misocky, who threw three interceptions, and returned it 42 yards for another 28-point lead.
THREE WHO MADE A DIFFERENCE
Carson Clutter, Charlotte Latin: Clutter ran 17 times for 144 yards and two touchdowns. The Hawks offensive line frequently gave him clean running lanes. Clutter took advantage.
Titus Ivory, Charlotte Latin: Ivory had several nice tackles and an interception from his defense back position. He also had a pretty 57-yard catch and run for a score on offense.
Chris Rivens, Covenant Day: Rivens had a 95-yard reception for a touchdown and finished with six catches for 173 yards and two touchdowns.
NOTABLE
▪ Latin intercepted Covenant Day three times and had multiple sacks. The defense held Covenant Day’s starting running back to 14 carries for 12 yards
▪ Latin QB Troy Logan was 12 for 22 for 146 yards, but he also made some good decisions when pressured, just throwing the ball out of bounds and giving his team another down, instead of trying to force the ball. On two of those drives, Latin later scored.
▪ The weather did arrive Wednesday, blowing sheets or rain and wind in the first half.

North Meck rolls past Harding Wednesday
North Mecklenburg scored on its first play from scrimmage and rolled to a 51-0 Queen City 3A-4A victory Wednesday night over visiting Harding.
The Vikings (2-3, 1-1), who have outscored their opponents 103-0 in their two victories this season, led 29-0 after the first quarter and 44-0 at halftime.
Harding (1-4, 0-2) was playing for the first time under interim head coach Terrance Cunningham, who took over when JT Stone resigned abruptly earlier this week.
The Rams took the opening kickoff but fumbled the ball away on their first play. North Mecklenburg’s Chuck House, a Tennessee commit, recovered at the Harding 12. Three plays later, the Vikings scored on a 5-yard pass catch by Tyler McClain.
After a three-and-out by Harding, North Mecklenburg scored again, this time on a 9-yard run by Justin McBean.
Harding then fumbled the ball away at its 8, and Landon Gilmore ran for North Mecklenburg’s third touchdown. Just 4:15 into the game, the Vikings led 22-0.
A 50-yard touchdown pass reception by Gilmore shortly before halftime gave North Mecklenburg a 44-0 lead and insured that a running clock would be in use for the second half.
