Charlotte Observer Sweet 16: A.L. Brown climbs to No. 4; Charlotte Christian returns to poll
Charlotte Christian rejoins the Sweet 16 this week after pulling off a 24-7 win against previously unbeaten Charlotte Latin.
The Knights, three-time defending state private school champions, have been a fixture in the Observer football poll in recent years.
A.L. Brown, once a North Carolina powerhouse, has not.
The Wonders, however, recorded a big – and convincing – 31-14 against Vance on Monday in Charlotte. Vance fell two spots to No. 8. A.L. Brown, coached by former Butler High coach Mike Newsome, jumped from No. 4 to No. 7.
Ardrey Kell dropped out after Monday’s 12-7 loss to Olympic.
