MATTHEWS – Even forward-thinkers like Roland Bibeau can appreciate a 25-year anniversary. He's looking forward to celebrating Novant Health Matthews Medical Center's milestone Aug. 24 with the community and sharing insight about the hospital's past, present and future. Since arriving 11 years ago as president, Bibeau has worked to expand the hospital to meet the needs of the community. This extends beyond the development of the campus on Matthews Township Parkway and into advancing the level of medical care provided to patients. “The vision that I had shared with the community and certainly with the team is that we have a couple of different routes for growth,” Bibeau said. “One was to enhance our critical care, which are advanced acute care services.” The hospital expanded vertically in 2013, opening a fifth floor with 23 in-patient rooms, nine observation rooms and three hospice beds. The hospital added a women's center in 2016 to upgrade its maternity and gynecological facilities. But the hospital isn't done yet. “We don't have any capacity to add more beds or more patients,” Bibeau said. “We do have some patients that wait for an in-patient bed. They wait – I'm going to suggest patiently – because this is a community hospital and they do not want us to transfer them to another facility even if it is within the Novant Health system. Why? Because this is their community. This is their community hospital.” The hospital plans to apply for approval from the state to add to its 157 beds. Bibeau mentions the need for a tower of

more than 20 beds, but he admits the state will determine the number the hospital qualifies for. Bibeau also wants to expand and improve the hospital's surgical services, specifically operating room suites to deliver the same level of care it provides to in-patient and observation patients. Prior to joining the hospital, one of his roles as an administrator with Novant Health was building medical plazas in Ballantyne, Monroe and the Steele Creek. “I really do love working with teams to build things, create things,” Bibeau said. “At the end of the day, it's what we deliver in those spaces.” Clinical Coordinator Donna Nickel, who has worked for Novant Health for nearly 37 years, embodies that spirit. She was the first person hired in the cardiopulmonary department prior to the opening of the hospital 25 years ago. Nickel remembers the excitement among the initial staff when it came to preparing the hospital for opening. She described the staff as a close family. That view has extended to many of her patients. “I have personally developed relationships with patients through the years that I still see here,” Nickel said. “They come up to me in the front lobby or they are here with their family members. They hug me and tell me, 'Remember when you took care of me for this procedure' and I do remember them. “We establish those bonds. That has been very special to me through the years because it helps me give them better care. It helped relieve a lot of their anxiety.” see NOVANT, Page 5A

MATTHEWS – Inner Peaks Climbing Center plans to move its Crownpoint climbing gym to Matthews later this year. The Charlotte-based firm operates two locations: Crownpoint (9535 Monroe Road) and South End (2220 S. Tryon St.). The Crownpoint location will stay open until the new space on Independence Point Parkway near Target is ready to move in. “It will be larger with more climbing space than our current facility,” said Miranda Harrison, marketing manager for the company. “We will have more climbing training devices at the location as well.” The new space will house rope climbing, 10 auto belays, over 200 linear feet of bouldering, training area, fitness area, yoga room and party space. It will be built in two phases, including 23-foot roped climbing walls in phase one. The second phase involves opening up the back section of the gym to increase the roped climbing walls to 50 feet.

Harrison, a climbing enthusiast who followed her passion to Inner Peaks, said one of the biggest benefits to indoor climbing is community. “You can be a member at a fitness gym for years and still not know anyone else by name who goes there,” Harrison said. “With

the climbing community, it's a lot more close-knit. You're going to get to know the other members who climb here. It really is a sport or avenue that can bring people together.” Inner Peaks specializes in climbing education and events. Programs include youth climbing teams, parties and groups.

Indoor climbing also has low barriers to entry for beginners without worrying about the weather. “It's easier to walk in off the street, having never climbed before, and do it at an indoor gym than getting into the outdoor climbing community,” Harrison said. Web: www.innerpeaks.com

Help us preserve family recipes for future generations cooked with their beloved recipes as much as possible. I felt so passionate about those index cards that I even had them framed and they all hang on a wall in my kitchen. I can see my great-grandmother’s handwritten pot roast recipe and my mother-in-law’s famous chicken salad hanging up every day in my home. I even have my grandmother’s world-renowned “green stuff” recipe hanging right in the middle. If you’re from Georgia like me, then you know what I’m talking about. It occurred to me that maybe I’m not the only one out there who shares this fascination with not only the recipes, but seeing the handwriting of those who came before us. So, since I’m a publisher after all, why not collect a book full of heirloom recipes that we can share with each other?

I was fascinated with seeing the handwriting of women in my family on those Garson 4x6 cards that were weathered by time and lots of flour. As I grew older and had a kitchen of my own, it was really important to me to have those recipes be a part of family gatherings. Once I had my own daughter, it became even more important to me for her to inherit those recipe cards, not only from my family, but my husband’s as well. I wanted her to see the handwriting of women in our family that she would never get the chance to meet. I always felt like those women would live on in our family if we

NOVANT (continued from page 1A)

Attorney says no custody order is written in stone Dear Attorney, I recently had a custody hearing and the judge sided with the mom, citing my busy work travel schedule. Since then, I lost my job due to downsizing. Because I don't travel for my old job anymore, I have extra time I can spend with my son. Can I ask the judge to modify custody, and if so, do I need to wait for any specific period of time before I ask? – Downsized Dad Dear Downsized, North Carolina allows the court to modify child custody orders any time when it determines there has been a substantial change of circumstances and it is in the best interest of the child. Either parent can file a motion to modify child custody at any time as long as the child is under the age of 18. So, what is a substantial change of circumstances? As with most matters in family law, that will vary from one case to another. Courts can consider both positive and negative changes, which may affect the children, such as; the relocation of a parent, domestic violence, substance abuse, and – as with your situation – changes in work schedules. In your case, if you are no longer required to travel, that means you have more time you can spend with your son. This could be a strong argument to take before the judge. The requested change must also be in the child's best interests. Because children benefit from having both parents provide support and nurturing in their lives, your request to spend more time with your son would likely pass this test. A parent can file a motion with the court any time there has been a substantial change in circumstances, even if the change happened a day or two after the court hearing. The North Carolina Court of Appeals recently addressed this issue. A father received an adverse custody ruling, then experienced a substantial change in circumstances shortly thereafter. But the court was severely delayed in issuing its initial order (which often happens). About three months after the ini-

tial hearing – but only a short time after the written order was entered – the father asked for a modification. The trial court dismissed his motion and said it came too soon. The Court of Appeals reversed. A parent is not obligated to wait for a written order before he or she can ask for a modification, as long as there has been a substantial change of circumstances. If you have already experienced a change in your circumstances, file now! But speak with an experienced North Carolina family law attorney to make sure it's done correctly and to ensure the best outcome for you and your son. No custody order is written in stone. The sooner you act in response to changed circumstances, the quicker your custody situation can adjust to your life.

Relationships are important to the hospital. The community is invited to the campus for Memorial Day observances and holiday events. The 10-year-old Festival of Trees includes a tree lighting ceremony and dozens of decorated trees available for auction. Proceeds from the sale of the trees help area charities. “We wanted to invite the community into our facility, not just in their time of need, but also to lift their spirits up,” Bibeau said. “It's truly a festival for everyone to bring the community closer together.” The hospital and Novant Health are big supporters of community events, such as Matthews Alive. Novant Health is also a title sponsor for several of the Matthews Chamber of Commerce's largest community events. Kelly Barnhardt, executive director of the chamber, said being one of the largest employers in the area gives the hospital a large influence on the community. But its impact is deliberate, given its work with nonprofits and chamber members.

“I think they have a true belief in giving back to the Matthews community,” Barnhardt said. The medical center began as Presbyterian Hospital Matthews 25 years ago. Presbyterian Hospital merged with Forsyth Memorial Hospital a few years later and rebranded as Novant Health. Though it's been years since the name change, some longtime residents still refer to the hospital by its old name. “They remember it fondly and understand clearly that regardless of the name, they still understand what we deliver every day and how we connect to the community,” Bibeau said. “That's what truly warms my heart and keeps the energy level from the perspective that we have to do the right thing for our patients and families.” Want to go? The 25th anniversary community celebration of Novant Health Matthews Medical Center takes place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug. 24 in the parking lot, 1500 Matthews Township Pkwy. The Substitutes will perform music, while guests can munch on food and drink. Health and safety educators will be there as well.

GOLF Q&A:

Catholic’s Heath wins Jr. PGA title by Andrew Stark andrew@cmgweekly.com

25 TO TREASURE The top 25 football players heading into the 2019 season by Andrew Stark andrew@cmgweekly.com

In 2019’s first installment of player rankings, I take a stab at trying to put all of the talent from our nearly 30-school coverage area into a college football-themed top 25. Since the talent is so deep that there are plenty of stars not included, I included a few players to watch who may make the end-of-year top 25. 1. Will Shipley, Weddington RB/DB/KR Union County’s first-ever 5-star recruit is absolutely the real deal. Shipley is ranked the No. 1 all-purpose back in the Class of 2020, the No. 2 recruit in N.C. and the No. 44-ranked recruit in the country according to 247Sports.com and he has offers from all of the big guns. Last season, he averaged seven yards per carry, ran for more than 1,400 yards, accumulated over 1,800 yards of total offense and scored 25 touchdowns. He’s also a standout defensive back and could have an even bigger offensive impact for the defending champs in 2019.

2. Drake Maye, Myers Park QB The Myers Park junior was absolutely terrific last season, completing 188-of-291 passes (65%) for 3,201 yards and 36 touchdowns against just five interceptions. He also ran for a couple of scores. This year, the Alabama commit once again is charged with directing one of the best offenses in the state. With the return of Muhsin Muhammad III and Porter Rooks, the addition of Twan Flip, the emergence of Logan Mauldin and Jordan Bly, a solid run game and his continued development, Maye could easily be even better. 3. Muhsin Muhammad III, Myers Park WR/DB/KR As dynamic and explosive a receiver as you’ll find, Moose is lightning quick with great hands. Last season, the 4-star recruit Muhammad ranked No. 6 in N.C.’s Class of 2020, as well as produced over 1,000 receiving yards, over 1,300 total yards and 14 touchdowns. Muhammad has

committed to Texas A&M. 4. Kedrick Bingley-Jones, Providence Day DE/OL The North Carolina commit is an absolute monster on the defensive side of the ball. He will Bingley-Jones switch this season to full-time offensive line after playing some tight end last year. No matter where the Charger senior lines up, he brings the heat. Despite facing constant double teams last season, Bingley-Jones was third on the team in tackles and led the Chargers in sacks. 5. Porter Rooks, Myers Park WR Rooks will add another level of firepower to an already loaded Mustang offense. The N.C. State Rooks commit nearly had 1,000 yards receiving at Providence Day last season, but Mustang QB Drake Maye has already shown he can accommodate a

pair of 1,000-yard seasons in this offense. Rooks is a 4-star recruit ranked No. 7 in N.C.’s Class of 2020. 6. Gavin Blackwell, Sun Valley WR Still just a junior, Blackwell is a 4-star recruit ranked No. 12 in the Class of 2021 with nearly 25 Blackwell offers, including from heavy-hitters like Florida, Florida State, Ohio State and North Carolina. Blackwell hauled in 51 catches for 1,136 yards (22.3 yards per catch) and 19 TDs last season. He should at least duplicate that, and it won’t matter that a freshman is throwing to him.

Charlotte Catholic rising senior golfer Jack Heath has been a huge part of the Cougars winning each of the past two state championships. This month, Heath did something that current American golfers ranked within the top 20 including Tiger Woods, Jordan Speith, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas, Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Cantlay, Xander Schauffele, Webb Simpson, Tony Finau, Rickie Fowler, Gary Woodland and Matt Kuchar have never accomplished as he won the 44th annual Junior PGA Championship golf tournament. It was a big deal. So big, in fact, that golf legend Jack Nicklaus tweeted at Heath moments after he sank a 40-foot birdie putt on 18 to cap off a dramatic comeback and win the event by one stroke. “Love that attitude!,” Nicklaus tweeted. “Love the first name. Love a competitor who drops a 40-foot birdie on 18 to cap a record final-round 62 for the win! Congrats Jack Heath on your @JuniorPGAChamp victory! Hopefully many more [trophies] to come!” Heath finished the final round of the four-day tournament with a flurry, shooting an 8-under par 62, which featured two eagles and six birdies. Heath’s winning putt broke Chris Couch’s Junior PGA Championship record for the lowest final round in history, set in 1990, by one stroke. In addition, Heath’s 259 total score (with rounds of 65-64-68 and 62) shattered two-time defending champion Akshay Bhatia’s record of 266, which was set in 2017, by seven strokes. I caught up with Heath, who tells of the incredible experience in his own words. Andrew Stark: How has it been living in the social media age following winning that event? I’m sure your phone has been blowing up ever since. Jack Heath: It’s been pretty cool. Yesterday I was on SiriusXM Radio. It’s been ... I’m just exhausted.

7. Cameron Roseman-Sinclair, Myers Park S The fourth Mustang in the top seven of the player rankings, but the North RosemanCarolina comSinclair

AS: That was your first time playing that event. I know you’ve played in big tournaments before, but what’s it like to be there. It’s the ultimate, right? JH: It was pretty fun. I was there to play golf. I was going there to do my thing and hoping that it would pan out, which it did.

NBA star Curry comes home for basketball clinic by Andrew Stark andrew@cmgweekly.com

Former Charlotte Christian and Duke University star Seth Curry took a break from his busy schedule to host a developmental clinic at Carolina Courts in Indian Trail earlier this month. Curry, who just signed a four-year, $32-million free agent deal with the Dallas Mavericks over the summer, offered a one-day camp on Aug. 3 that focused on basketball developmental skills, but also taught life skills and ways to motivate children to be inspired to reach their full potential. “My family grew up here, me and my brother played on courts like this as we watched our dad play on the big courts,” Curry said. “We were raised on values that taught us to never

forget where we came from and to make sure we are always giving back to the community. I remember being young and loving when I would get to shoot around with the NBA guys and soak in tips and dream of one day being in their shoes. That’s what I’m trying to do for these kids, that excitement and motivation is what I hope they feel when they leave my camp.” Following the event, Matthews-Mint Hill Weekly Sports Editor Andrew Stark chatted with Curry about his new contract, the event and what it’s like when the whole family gets together. Andrew Stark: How does it feel to be home? How often do you get to return to the area and see CURRY, Page 2B

CURRY

(continued from page 1B)

AS: It’s a four-day event and you played well every round. It has to be a confidence-builder as you keep playing really good golf. What’s it like going into that final round knowing you had a chance to win it. JH: I went in and tried to do myself, stay in the moment and try to play good golf.

what do you miss most when your gone? Seth Curry: It feels great. I'm only here for a short time, but I always love when I can get back to Charlotte. In the off-season I can make it back a little more, but during the season it’s hard to get home between games.

AS: You played unbelievable down the stretch on the final day. What was working so well? JH: It really wasn’t working well at all through 11 holes because I was only two under, but I played the last six holes at seven under par. I started putting pretty well and it was all in my short game. AS: The video of the putt on 18 I saw was incredible. Your lining up over a 40foot putt that you know could give you the win. Is that the biggest putt of your life and what are you thinking in that moment? JH: Yes, it definitley was but I liked the line I stood over it and knew if I could just get it there it had a chance to go in. I got it to where I wanted to and it went in. AS: In the video, there isn’t a ton of emotion shown by you on the outside when you sank it. What was going on your inside? JH: I knew it wasn’t over yet and there was a chance that I could go to the playoff. But also I didn’t really realize what had happened and I kind of blocked it out. I think I blocked out the whole back nine. It was a blur. AS: A big event is probably nuts with the crowds and TV cameras. How do you block all of that stuff out? JH: I was focused on getting in the zone. It was me, the golf ball and how I was going to get it into the hole as quickly as possible. I wasn’t thinking about the crowd, the cameras or anything. It was just be here and hit the ball.

AS: Jack Nicklaus tweeted at you, which is super cool. What’s your reaction to have the greatest to ever do it tweeting congratulations to you? JH: I got a text from my friend saying to check my Twitter. I was like, ‘Oh my God!’ It was humbling and it gave me a lot of confidence to go do it again. After the round I looked at my phone and the ESPN crawl was on my phone and it said ‘Jack Heath sinks 40-foot bomb to win Junior PGA’ It was unbelievable and just wild. AS: This is a huge accomplishment and you will forever be the 2019 Junior PGA Champion. That’s something Tiger, Speith and some of the top golfers in the world have never done. Has that had a chance to sink in as to just what that means? JH: It is always something I can go back and watch that putt and it will always be there. Yes, it’s an amazing thing, and it feels really good to have done it. AS: Like you said, you’ve committed to San Diego State, but have a chance to come back and do it all over again and try to win a third title at Catholic. Does this change anything? JH: In December I will be representing the U.S. in the President’s Cup in Australia. My goal is to go over and win that this fall. Next week, I should be No. 3 in the world, so I want to get to No. 1 in the world and then this spring go and win another championship.

AS: There are lots of demands on your time and other commitments, so why is it important to you to take the time to host a camp for the kids? What do you hope they get out of it from both a basketball and non-basketball perspective? SC: These kids are the future. I will always make it a priority to do camps and work with the kids, especially here in Charlotte. I hope the camps are a memorable experience for the kids, I know when I was their age it meant so much to get to shoot around with guys from the league. I hope they learn some fundamentals and walk away realizing their potential in whatever they decide to do. But most importantly, I just want them to have a great time out here.” AS: You were a star at Charlotte Christian and played on some very good teams there. What are some of your best high school memories playing in this area? SC: Just getting to play ball with all my friends at Charlotte Christian and against my friends at other schools. We always had the best time. AS: How frustrating was it for you to be so under-recruited in high school and especially so knowing that you could play and help a team on the level you wanted to play at?

Week 1 Super 7 1- Myers Park The Mustangs come into this season with so many expectations but they barely escaped a scrimmage at Mooresville as time expired. That won’t happen in Week 1 as they will come out focused and ready. Drake Maye could easily have over 300 passing yards against a weak Olympic secondary this week. 2. Charlotte Catholic Charlotte Catholic comes into this season ready to quiet some of the critics who say they will be down. The Cougars will be stout on the ground and the defense is going to be nearly as stingy as it’s been the past two seasons when they’ve walked off the field champions. This one could get ugly.

And, what advice would you give a kid who could be in a similar situation today? SC: I mean there is a lot that goes into recruits and there are so many people with talent out there, everyone has their own timeline and I think things work out when they are supposed to. I would just tell anyone working toward similar goals to keep working hard and stay focused. AS: You had some great moments at Duke and got to play for a great coach. What are some of the things that Coach K instilled in you, and how was that experience playing for a team that is so polarizing? SC: It was a great experience, I'm so thankful for my time there. Coach K was an incredible leader and just always taught me to stay focused on my goals and on the game and never stop working toward the next step. AS: You have had a few great seasons in a row after bouncing around some early in your career and how you’re being rewarded with a four-year contract you signed with Dallas. What was your reaction to that and how does it feel to have a team that believes in you and your abilities? SC: It feels great, I'm excited to be in Dallas, a part of the team and looking forward to a great season. AS: I know you have a new baby and everyone is busy, but the whole family was there for the Portland-Golden State playoff series you and your brother got to play in against each other. How special was that, especially at the NBA Conference Finals? SC: Thank you. It was incredible, I'm so lucky to have such a great support system in my family and having everyone there was great. We always have fun together.

3. Charlotte Christian The Knights have a daunting task trying to stop Sun Valley skill guys Gavin Blackwell, Tacory Robinson and Deuce Wilson. The Spartan coaching staff is trying to remain quiet, but it seems freshman Carson Black, who tore up the JV ranks, will start at quarterback. He’s going to be a star, but Charlotte Christian coach Jason Estep and his staff will have some crazy looks drawn up to confuse him. The Knights have their own new quarterback in Matthew Tuomala, but they have enough skill guys and talent on defense to keep this one tight. 4. Butler The Bulldogs open their season in the nightcap of the high school kickoff on Thursday, Aug. 22, against a very

tough and balanced Hough team. The Huskies have a great defense and a standout linebacker in Davidson commit Storm Monroe, who will try to slow Butler’s dynamic run game. Expect an all-out war. 5. Providence Day The Chargers open another season with high expectations, but they’re going to have their hands full with Mountain Island Charter. Coach Robert Washington has built a very nice program in Mount Holly, and the charter school attracts plenty of talent, such as North Carolina commit Elijah Burris, who ran for 2,832 yards and 34 touchdowns and crossed the 100-yard mark in all 12 of his starts. 6. Ardrey Kell The Knights haven’t realistically had expectations this high put on them for about six seasons, but they are in a very good position. That good feeling won’t likely come on opening night, though, as they face defending 3-AA state champ Weddington, who comes back loaded with stars including Will Shipley, the nation’s No. 1 running back in the Class of 2021 and AK’s prime target this week. 7. Charlotte Latin (1-0) The Hawks opened with a 37-0 beatdown of Covenant Day, even when the Lions had thoughts they could be pretty good this year. Andrew Sumichrast had a pair of receiving scores, and the Hawks' defense was smothering. They’ll roll again this week . - Andrew Stark

mit is a justified selection. Seen as a 4-star recruit and the No. 11-ranked player in N.C.’s Class of 2020, Roseman-Sinclair is a ball hawk who was third on the Mustang defense with 69 tackles. He defended six passes and had two interceptions despite teams avoiding his side of the field. 8. Shaleak Knotts, Monroe WR/DB Knotts is one of two Union County 4-star WR recruits.The sophomore is more than justified in his selection. Long, quick and athletic, Knotts made his Knotts presence felt immediately after he hauled in 51 catches for 757 yards and 10 touchdowns. Knotts has at least 10 offers from colleges, including North Carolina, South Carolina, Penn State, Virginia Tech and East Carolina. 9. Jacolbe Cowan, Providence Day DE/TE Cowan can get to the quarterback with a quick first step and massive frame that has college coaches looking on in awe. The 6-foot-5, 280-pound CowCowan an is listed as a 3-star recruit and the No. 15 overall prospect in N.C.’s Class of 2020. He holds at least 38 scholarship offers from schools, including Clemson, Alabama, Ohio State, Oregon, Georgia and Tennessee. 10. Cedric Gray, Ardrey Kell WR/CB Gary is an athlete in every sense of the word. The silky smooth North Carolina commit is a highly regarded defensive back who recorded 60 tackles and three Gray sacks while locking down opponents’ best receivers. Gray has become an accomplished receiver himself, hauling in 55 catches for 891 yards and 10 scores, making him one of the area’s top two-way talents. 11. Anthony Carter, Butler OL At 6-foot-4 and nearly 300 pounds, Carter projects as a high-level recruit with a ready-made college body, especially when you consider how nimble and quick he Carter is. He is the No. 23-ranked recruit in N.C.’s Class of 2020 with nearly 30 offers from schools including Michigan State, North Carolina, N.C. State, Duke, West Virginia and Texas A&M. 12. Michael Gonzalez, Sun Valley OL Gonzalez is a big-bodied (6-foot-4, 285-pound) junior who will lead the Spartans' potent rushing attack. A 3-star recruit ranked 24th in the N.C. Class of 2021, Gonzalez Gonzalez has at least a dozen offers from programs, including North Carolina, N.C. State, Illinois, Ohio State and Florida. 13. Kaci Seegars, Ardrey Kell LB Seegars isn’t the biggest name on this list just yet, but the junior linebacker is making a name for himself after finishing with 63 tackles, 10 quarterback hur- Seegars ries, two sacks and a pair

of forced fumbles as a sophomore. Seegars holds just a handful of offers now, but the 3-star recruit ranked No. 26 in the Class of 2021 is in line for a monster season. 14. Malik McGowan, Charlotte Catholic OL McGowan is a monster of a man already at 6-foot-4, 345 pounds, but the 3-star Charlotte Catholic left tackle’s quickness and power should lead to a huge season McGowan on the ground for the twotime defending champs. McGowan has committed to North Carolina. 15. Phifer Griffin, Metrolina Christian OL At 6-foot-6 and 290 pounds, Griffin projects as a prototypical left tackle on the next level and beyond with his size, power and speed. The Illinois commit Griffin was ranked a 3-star recruit and N.C.’s No. 31 recruit in the Class of 2020. 16. Alec Mock, Weddington LB Mock was a rock for the state champion Warriors last season, registering a ridiculous stat line that included 150 tackles, seven passes defended, 5.5 sacks Mock and a pair of interceptions. The 3-star recruit ranked 50th overall in the state has upwards of 25 offers. 17. Jamal Worthy, Butler RB Worthy had to split reps last season and still led the Bulldog rushing attack with his combination of size, speed and vision. The 6-foot-1, 210-pound back Worthy is a 3-star recruit whose offers are just starting to ramp up. Worthy could lead our coverage area in rushing this year. 18. Tyson Clawson, Independence DE/TE Clawson is still growing into his body, but already had a massive impact on the field. Last season as a sophomore, he averaged six tackles per game and had 13.5 Clawson sacks and 10 QB hurries. Clawson is a 3-star recruit ranked No. 46 in the Class of 2021. 19. JB Awolowo, Charlotte Christian RB/WR/DB/KR The jack-of-all-trades had his hands in every aspect of the game last season as a part-time player who made a huge impact for the state champs. Awolowo is mov- Awolowo ing back to his natural position of running back. He will be a threat no matter where he gets the ball, but he’ll get it a lot in this offense. 20. Jesiah Davis, Providence Day WR/DB Davis was third on the Chargers in catches and yards behind a strong upper class, but he’s ready for a big breakout season. The 6-2, 170-pound junior is ranked Davis as the No. 25 prospect in the Class of 2021 and should become a household name before the year is up.

Classic Car Show

21. Matt Bennett, Monroe QB Monroe has maybe the best collection of skill players in our coverage area, and the Ardrey Kell transfer will be the sole beneficiary of that. He’s already a 3-star Bennett recruit with a handful of offers, but after the season he’s capable of having, that could drastically change in his favor. 22. Lamagea McDowell, Charlotte Catholic RB McDowell is the perfect fit for the vaunted Charlotte Catholic run game. The 6-foot-1, 215-pound tackle breaker ran for 1,270 yards and 17 TDs and is a McDowell two-time Championship Game Offensive MVP. The 3-star recruit has a handful of offers already, but more are coming his way. 23. Jake Snapp, Providence Snapp is my No. 1 breakout of the year candidate. Last season, he starred on defense by making 64 tackles and picking off four passes, but he’s a 3-star reSnapp cruit ranked 45th in the N.C. Class of 2021 as a running back. He only got 36 carries last season, but he’ll get his share and be involved in the pass and run game. 24. Jadus Davis, Metrolina Christian RB/WR/DB/KR Davis is the catalyst to a great Warrior offense, and the speedster seems to do everything well. Last season, he averaged nine yards a carry and ran for 900 Davis yards and 14 touchdowns. He also caught 41 balls for 632 yards and six TDs. Davis is also an elite cornerback and return man. 25. Trey Alsbrooks, Weddington LB Alsbrooks is going to bring the boom this season as a linebacker after playing defensive end most of his varsity career. Alsbrooks recorded nearly 100 tackles, Alsbrooks 6.5 sacks and 30 quarterback hurries last year. He should put up more stats from his new spot. Best of the Rest 26.

Week 1 Game Picks All Games Friday, Aug. 23, unless otherwise noted Ardrey Kell at Weddington: The Knights want to start strong with high expectations lingering, but this isn’t the game to do it. Will Shipley and the Warriors new-look offense will be too much for AK to take. Winner: Weddington Butler vs. Hough (*Aug. 22 at Matthews Sportsplex): Both teams have elite running backs and talent all over the field in this exciting opener. Butler usually comes out of the gate sharp, but this is a pick-em type game. Winner: Butler South Meck at Charlotte Catholic: New Sabres coach Joe Evans is building excitement and has his team believing. However, two-time defending champion Charlotte Cathlolic is 31-1 over the past two years and will be too much. Winner: Charlotte Catholic Charlotte Christian vs. Sun Valley (*Aug. 22 at Matthews Sportsplex): This is another intriguing opening-night matchup. Christian is the two-time champs who have lost once in the past two years. Sun Valley is trying to start a new era at quarterback with freshman phenom Carson Black. Winner: Charlotte Christian Country Day at Trinity Byrnes (0-1): The Bucs are fresh off their NCISAA Division II crown and ready to roll into 2019. Trinity Byrnes went 11-2 last season, but lost 35-24 in its opener. Winner: Country Day Greensboro Panthers vs Charlotte Latin (1-0): The Hawks dominated Covenant Day 37-0 in the team’s openers last week and should get to 2-0 with another easy victory. Winner: Charlotte Latin Independence at North Meck: Two storied programs kick it off on opening night. Indy wants to come out throwing, but the Vikings have a good secondary and strong overall defense. Winner: North Meck Olympic at Myers Park: Olympic will be jazzed up for this one with a new coach trying to slay the giant. Myers Park needed a pass at the buzzer to beat Mooresville 6-3 in their last scrimmage. I’ll be that stirred coach Scott Chadwick’s ire. Winner: Myers Park East Meck vs Providence: East Meck was horrendous last season, but will look to kick 2019 off with a bang. Coach Weslee Ward will have his Panthers ready, and they should prevail. Winner: Providence Providence Day vs. Mountain Island Charter (at UNC Charlotte): The Chargers started 0-3 last year and can ill afford a repeat, but the Raptors are loaded with talent of their own, including running back Elijah Burris. Winner: Mountain Island Charter West Meck at Rocky River: The Hawks were the So. Meck 7 co-champs last season, but have a new coach. Rocky River is looking to make a huge jump, and an opening-night victory would help. Winner: Rocky River Coaches, team administrators and official scorekeepers: Each week, we will run players stats of the area teams that we cover. In order to have your team accurately included in the compilation, please either have stats on MaxPreps.com or email them to andrew@cmgweekly.com by noon on Tuesdays.
