All I know about WC is they have a good coach and played in a brutal conference with some top 4A teams in Charlotte.

Wow I just looked and their 5 losses all came to a 4A team who has advanced to the 2nd round as well…. Definitely think we will have our hands full Friday night but as they say that’s why you play the game!!!

If WC had the states #1 Running Back that was declared ineligible before the season they would probably be a 3A favorite.

I see KM winning it all. West Charlotte is a school with rich past tradition, fell down for a while prob due to other schools being built and pulling athletic tallent but seems they have bounced back. The 90s tney we’re a super 4A power house and coached by Tom Knotts. Even a local fella from around here had a one year thing with WC and that’s coach Helms. But this year in the 3A it’s KM. But them and WC oughta be a good game.

Hibriten huge underdogs in this one taking on one of the oldest but one of the most successful programs in Charlotte history. I’m guessing they are 3A due to more high schools being built in area. I guess being from here I couldn’t see any public Charlotte school being lower than a 4A but funny how times change.

Smothers transferred to WC in the off season from Chambers but was ruled ineligible. At this point in the season I don’t know why it is even being brought up. He never got to play one game with them.
I was just pointing out they may have been a 3A favorite with him. He was the best back in the state and didn't get to play a single down.

If Smothers plays West Charlotte would possibly be the 3A favorite. Hes that good. Their offense is built for a player like him.

I really believe West Charlotte will roll on in this one. Much better conference season they went through. That competition should help them here. And maybe more team speed.

West Charlotte looks athletic with a pretty good defense. Offense looks pretty vanilla but with there athletes they will break some plays.
I doubt they see the triple option much so hopefully we can move the ball on Offense and make a game of it.
The triple option could be a difference maker in this game. I'm sure WC hasn't seen that this season. And it's tough to practice with scout O if you don't run it.

WC Defense will be fine vs. The triple option. From the film ive seen the hibriten QB is not very dynamic running the ball. Key is Hibriten defense vs. WC O. If Hibriten can tackle and defend run it will be a game. If WC O moves the ball freely gonna be a blowout

I’m not sure which QB you seen on the film but I will say our starting QB is probably one of all best athletes on the team and has done damage all year when he has been healthy… Now I won’t promise it still won’t be a 15-25 point game but he gives us our best chance to move and score

I would venture to say he's talking about jv qb that filled in or Coby when he was banged up.

SP played WC in 2015 regular season game - lost by 1 point (34-35) - finished 2-9 for the season. SP lost to Rocky Mount in the 2015 3A championship game in OT. I bet they still have a tape of the game which shows them how TO should be played.

I remember that game. WC wasn’t able to stop the option but what they did do was throw it short to the sidelines all game. SP just sat in a zone defense off the ball all night and took it. Painful game to watch.
