North Carolina High School Football Playoff Pairings

By Jeff Fisher
The High School Football Huddle

The road to eight North Carolina high school football championships begins this weekend as 256 teams begin post-season play. In Class 4-AA, Independence is looking to return to its perch atop the classification. The Patriots are hoping to make it to their 10th state title game in a row and nab their ninth title during that stretch. Last year, Independence had its streak of eight straight titles snapped.

Meanwhile, the North Carolina High School Athletic Association has changed three championship games slated for Kenan Stadium on the campus of the University of North Carolina to avoid conflicts with men's and women's basketball games and winter graduation. The 4-AA, 4-A and 2-A finals were set for December 13th, but now only the 4-A game will be played on the 13th at 11 A.M. The 4-AA game has been moved to Sunday, December 14th at 3 P.M., while the 2-A game will be played on Friday, December 12th at 7:30 P.M.

North Carolina Unbeaten Showdown independence vs. Butler

By Jeff Fisher
The High School Football Huddle

It will be #1 vs. #2 Friday night when Independence squares off with Butler for regular season bragging rights in North Carolina and the Southwestern 4A championship. Independence will be looking for revenge from last year's regular season finale when Butler handed the Patriots its third loss of the season. Independence did crank things up after that, beating Butler 20-7 in the second round of the playoffs, and making it to the school's ninth straight state championship game. The Patriots lost in the title game snapping the schools run of eight straight championships.

2008 North Carolina High School Football Season Starts Tonight

By Jeff Fisher
The High School Football Huddle

Optimism is running high for every high school football team in North Carolina as the regular season begins this weekend.

For the first time in eight years, Independence isn't heading into the season as the defending champs, however, don't count the Patriots out of things. Last year's 28-17 loss to New Bern in the 4AA title game denied the Patriots their eighth straight state championship, and that should be motivation enough for the team's to push hard for a ninth straight finals appearance.

A report in this week's Charlotte Observer said that the team looked strong in scrimmage against Byrnes (Duncan, SC), which this week was ranked #1 in the USA Today Super 25 Pre-Season rankings. Byrnes was only up 21-14 when both teams began subbing according to the newspaper. Byrnes won 31-14.
