West Charlotte Secures Dominant Win Over Monroe in High School Football Showdown
CHARLOTTE – The West Charlotte High School football team, the reigning North Carolina Class 3A state champions, achieved a remarkable 47-0 victory over Monroe, the defending N.C. 2A state champions, in a decisive game held on Friday night. This significant win came right after West Charlotte’s narrow 28-27 overtime loss to Greensboro Grimsley the previous week at Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium.
West Charlotte showcased an impressive offensive performance, scoring on five of their six possessions during the first half, leading to a commanding halftime score of 33-0. Junior quarterback Jamouri Nichols played a pivotal role by throwing touchdown passes on four consecutive drives, demonstrating both skill and precision as he completed 14 of 16 passes for a total of 236 yards and three touchdowns.
In addition to Nichols’ stellar play, Emory McClain Jr. contributed to West Charlotte’s scoring with a 3-yard rushing touchdown. The team’s final points came from McClain’s second rushing touchdown, an 8-yard run, and a 23-yard touchdown pass from backup quarterback Myles Mackey to Tony Johnson, cementing the team’s overwhelming victory.
The game was broadcast locally by Charlotte’s WCCB-TV on Bahakel Sports, allowing fans to witness West Charlotte’s offensive prowess firsthand. In terms of yardage, West Charlotte outgained Monroe with a total of 385 to 139, showcasing a significant disparity including a remarkable 188 to minus-3 margin after the first quarter.
The game unfolded under the new N.C. High School Athletic Association’s 35-point margin mercy rule, which resulted in a continuously running clock following West Charlotte’s second touchdown run. Coach Sam Grenier notably praised the team’s talent, acknowledging their potential while emphasizing the need for improvement in discipline and execution.
Coincidentally, Monroe High honored their head coach Johnny Sowell prior to kickoff for achieving his 200th career head coaching victory. Despite the loss, Coach Grenier remarked on Monroe’s capabilities, noting they are still regarded as one of the premier teams in the state and are expected to be contenders in the upcoming 5A state championship race.
Looking ahead, West Charlotte’s schedule remains challenging, with the team gearing up for an upcoming match against South Pointe of Rock Hill. Following that game, they will host Providence and West Mecklenburg. As the team prepares to enter the Power Six 7A/8A Conference, they will be competing against formidable opponents, including recently crowned state champions.
A key player to watch is K.D. Cotton, a standout wide receiver and defensive back, who is currently listed as “week to week” due to a leg injury. Coach Grenier expressed confidence in his team’s ability to rise to the occasion, stating that they will continue to strive for excellence as they face future challenges.
