Independence Goes After Eight State North Carolina High School Football Championship

The three-digit win streak ended in September, but Independence's season is ending like seven before it...playing for a North Carolina 4AA high school football championship.

Saturday night at Wake Forest University, Independence will play New Bern for the 4AA title. These two are no strangers to each other, it will be the fourth meeting for state bragging rights since 2002.

For the second straight week, the defending champs will face one of the top teams in the state. Last week, the Patriots defense held West Charlotte quarterback Darius Thomas in-check. This week the "D" will have its hands full with New Bern QB Brett Williams who's thrown for 1,508 yards and 14 touchdowns while rushing for 1,314 yards and 13 TDs.

Independence isn't the only defending champ in the finals. Charlotte Catholic (3AA), Shelby (2AA) and Western Alamance (3A) will all be playing in their fourth consecutive championship games.

Here's this weekend's schedule...
