Carrollton Has Been Rolling
Carrollton has scored at least 61 points in each of its past three games.
The Trojans defeated Columbia 61-6, traveled to Louisiana and beat Catholic of Baton Rouge 61-27, then returned home and overwhelmed Hapeville Charter 63-7.
That gives Carrollton a 4-0 record and an offense that has been extremely difficult to contain.
Sophomore quarterback C.J. Cypher is back directing an offense loaded with playmakers.
The Trojans have already demonstrated they can take their offense on the road, including the 61-point performance in Baton Rouge.
Friday provides another test, this time against an opponent traveling into Georgia.
West Charlotte Heads South With Momentum
West Charlotte has recovered well from its only loss.
The Lions enter 3-1 after shutting out West Mecklenburg 36-0 last week.
West Charlotte now leaves North Carolina for its most difficult assignment of the season.
The Lions are ranked No. 6 in North Carolina's Class 8A by MaxPreps and will get the opportunity to measure themselves against a Carrollton team with national aspirations.
West Charlotte's challenge starts with slowing an offense that has scored 185 points over its past three games.
Keeping Carrollton from generating explosive plays will be critical if the Lions want to keep the game within reach into the second half.
Another Interstate Test for Carrollton
Carrollton hasn't built its schedule entirely around Georgia opponents.
The Trojans traveled to Louisiana earlier this month to face Catholic and now welcome a North Carolina opponent to Carrollton.
Those games give the Trojans opportunities to face unfamiliar programs while building a broader profile outside Georgia.
West Charlotte has plenty to gain as well.
A road victory over an unbeaten, nationally ranked Carrollton team would immediately become the Lions' signature result of the season.
Carrollton can improve to 5-0 and continue a dominant September run.
West Charlotte can end that run and take a major interstate victory back to North Carolina.
Fans unable to attend Friday night's matchup can watch West Charlotte-Carrollton live on the NFHS Network.
