Interception had a you know plethora of Receiving yards and tacked on a couple Of rushing yards there as well I mean What coach wouldn't want a guy that can Do it all Um you know AK kind of up and down this Year but uh Chancellor with him on the Team you know they've got uh some games On the schedule I think that's very Winnable for them coming up so we'll see How that pans out for sure look for them To roll as they enter the conference Here let's move up to Kannapolis good Okay town so we've got Makai here in Here the junior running back ran six Times for 156 yards and three touchdowns And a 49-6 win over South Rowan he Caught two passes for 47 yards and a Touchdown as well so putting all that Together he had eight touches 203 yards And four scores now cam this Dynamic Junior running back here looks to be Pretty great and somebody that's going To help L Brown to continue to research Under first year coach just Hardin what Do you see here I mean I see a guy that Looks similar to the ecklers and the McCaffrey's of the world I mean you can You got great speed uh laterally and Obviously with the uh reception for the Touchdown there I mean he's he's a very Special uh young man but you know the Test is going to be you know this week Against Hickory Ridge I mean I know
Ridge you know you guys are owing four But uh yeah you play some tough teams so It's gonna be interesting to see how Makai Heron can play against a little Bit tougher competition though Definitely a guy you got to Circle uh Doing your defensive game plan there for Sure uh let's go down east into the 9-1-0 I think this is if it's two five Two don't kill me but Zay Jones out of Scotland counting 33 carries 227 yards And two touchdowns and a big 40 to 35 Win over Jack Britt High School now I Love Scotland Jones we know coach Richard Bailey's going to run that ball No surprise that their Bell cow got 33 Rushes here and he seemed to deliver in A big time win and as I say on here cam He needed every one of those carries Every one of those yards and every Touchdown that he scored to ensure they Won He did but he also needed a nice bath After that game 33 carries man that man Will have to be sucking wind after that Game but I mean you know Scotland County They're off to a 4-0 start I mean a lot Of close games and I mean Zay Jones has Been a big part of their offense so far This season Oh definitely look forward to him doing So as they continue on their good run as They head here in the conference uh Let's go out to Lawndale North Carolina

Things to Consider Before Moving to Charlotte, North Carolina
Events, Life, Sports, Weather, News
No matter where you live in Charlotte, there’s always something to do. Heated sporting rivalries, chart-topping entertainers and colorful city celebrations keep things hopping. Plus, a burgeoning craft beer scene and diverse restaurant offerings mean you’ll never be bored.
Charlotte is a big city with a small town feel. That means there’s an electric buzz that feeds ambition, but it’s also calm enough to recognize that life is about more than just work. Residents embrace that sentiment with a laidback Southern charm that’s evident in everything from the way they speak (you might hear some twang), to the fact they go to church on Sunday.
One of the biggest pros of living in Charlotte is its reasonable cost of living, which compares favorably to other major US cities. Another pro is a strong job market, especially in finance and technology. But there are a few things to consider before you make the move.
You’ll want to be prepared for the state income tax, which ranges from 4% to 5% of your income. And be sure to set aside money for housing costs, which are climbing quickly in this fast-growing metro area. Finally, if you have children, research the school district you’re moving into to ensure they’ll get top-notch education in their new home. You’ll also want to take a look at the crime rates in Charlotte, which fluctuate but are generally low compared to other large US cities.
