The East Mecklenburg Eagles will challenge the Parkwood Wolf Pack at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this match.
East Mecklenburg played against Palisades and lost via forfeit.
Parkwood is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They had to suffer through a 42-0 loss at the hands of Cuthbertson. While losing is never fun, the Wolf Pack can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina football rankings (they are ranked 296th, while the Cavaliers are ranked 73rd).
Parkwood's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged three passes before it was all said and done. It was truly a group effort as Dillan Brown, Ray Martinez, and Ethan Grace picked up one apiece. Martinez also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making two total tackles and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
East Mecklenburg came up short against Parkwood when the teams last played back in September of 2023, falling 37-32. Thankfully for East Mecklenburg, Isaiah Boulware-Jones (who threw for 218 yards and three touchdowns while completing 72.2% of his passes, and also rushed for 48 yards and a touchdown) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
