Two familiar teams, Chambers, JM Robinson, join Charlotte Observer Sweet 16 poll
In his first year as head football coach at Chambers High School, former Carolina Panthers’ fan favorite Captain Munnerlyn is making a difference.
Under Munnerlyn, Chambers is off to a 3-0 start, its best in five years, and this week, the two-time NCHSAA state champions join The Observer’s Sweet 16 poll.
Chambers beat Harding 31-0 Friday, after starting the season with a 35-34 win at Clover (S.C.) and a 34-17 win over Hopewell after that.
Clover beat Palisades at Palisades on Friday, 21-19, knocking the Pumas from No. 7 to No. 13 in The Sweet 16 this week. Hopewell had a real shot to beat No. 16 Statesville on Friday, before Statesville kicked a field goal with five minutes left to win 24-21.
Also new to the poll this week is Concord’s JM Robinson, which returns to the rankings. Since a 37-6 season-opening loss to Myers Park, Robinson has beaten West Cabarrus 42-10 on Aug. 29 and got a big win at Asheville’s AC Reynolds, 49-21, Friday night.
