GOP candidates verbally spar at forum Congressional candidates address affair, ‘bathroom bill’ and PAC funding by Paul Nielsen paul@cmgweekly.com
MONROE – During a North Carolina 9th District Republican Primary forum on May 7, former Mecklenburg County Commissioner Matthew Ridenhour quipped that he was taking more than his allotted time to answer a question because the event had turned into the “Dan and Stony show.” Ridenhour was referring to N.C.
Sen. Dan Bishop and Union County Commissioner Stony Rushing, who are front runners in the primary election Ridenhour May 14. Eight of the 10 candidates on the Republican Primary ballot participated in the forum sponsored by WBT Radio 1110 AM. About 300 people attended the event at the Union County Agricultural Center.
Republican Mark Harris defeated Democrat Dan McCready by 905 votes in last year’s general election but the Bishop state ordered a new election after allegations of absentee voter fraud emerged. Harris, who supported the call for a new election, is not running in the May 14 primary. The general election, if the win-

ner of the May 14 primary gets at least 30 percent of the vote, will be held Sept. 10. If no Republican in the crowded field meets that threshold, then the Republican run-off will be held Sept. 10 with the general election following Nov. 5. McCready is running unopposed in the Democratic Primary on May 14. A poll released May 3 by the National Journal’s Hotline has Bishop see GOP, Page 3A

She was being handled by Melissa Reynard of Carolina Waterfowl Rescue. The rescue, located in Indian Trail, has had a presence at the Maus Foundation tourney for several years. “A lot of people had their picture taken with the snake,” Reynard said, noting the see GOLF, Page 2A

Marvin Ridge DECA earns international honors WAXHAW – The Marvin Ridge High School DECA had its best showing ever at the DECA International Career Development Conference last month in Orlando, Florida. Marvin Ridge DECA was one of 10 high school chapters in the state to earn Thrive chapter status, meaning the club met national guidelines for membership, community service and promotional campaigns. As a result, six students were selected to attend the Thrive Leadership Academy during the event. Freshman Sophia Freeman was recognized as one of the top 10 written test competitors internationally in marketing communications. Junior Jack Stephen was also recognized as one of the Top 10 role play competitors in personal financial literacy. He was one of five competitors from the state to be recognized as an overall top 10 international competitor personal financial literacy.

county commissioners came together last month to discuss next year’s Union County Public Schools budget, there were no barbs or bickering between the groups. From my experience, it’s not uncommon for such groups to have tense relationships. School boards generally believe they are underfunded. County commissioners believe school districts need more more financial oversight. Gary Sides, a board member with UCPS, noted how far the relationship has come between both groups in Union County since he and Melissa Merrell were elected five years ago. At that time, the groups were in a legal battle. “In my 28 years in Union County, I have never seen the level of cooperation between the board of education, the county and our municipalities,” Sides said. “I think it goes to show when we all work together what good things we can do for students.” will benefit children in need and animal rescue in Mecklenburg, Union and Stanly counties. “This is the third time Joe Maus has had the tournament here, and it was an awesome tournament,” said Sherri Taylor, general manager for Pine Lake Country Club. “It raised a lot of money for children in this community and for animal rescue. All of the money goes to local charities, and it is a wonderful thing he does for our community.” Want to learn more? Visit www.joemaus foundation.com.

MONROE – The Community Shelter of Union County honored two schools for supporting Souper Bowl of Caring. Souper Bowl is a national movement of young people working to fight hunger and poverty in their communities. The local campaign benefits clients served through the Community Shelter. This year’s campaign, sponsored by Birdseye Renewable Energy, raised more than $46,787 for the shelter. Weddington High School was the top fundraising school for the fifth consecutive year. The school raised more than $3,400, resulting in a combined $17,157 contribution since 2015. Central Academy of Technology and Arts achieved the largest increase – 965 percent over last year. Union County Public Schools’ combined donations through individual school campaigns totaled $28,238, an achievement Shelter CEO Kathy Bragg called “amazing.” “Each year, the schools work hard to raise funds to fight hunger and homelessness in Union County,” she said. “We are so proud of the students and administration for participating in this fight that impacts every corner of our county.” Faith-based contributions totaled more than $13,000 and other contributions totaled more than $5,200.

MONROE – The county has eliminated the irrigation schedule based on billing cycles in favor of a more straightforward one based on customers’ addresses. The mandatory outdoor irrigation schedule applies to all spray irrigation systems and allows customers to irrigate according to the following schedule: Even-numbered addresses may water on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Odd-numbered addresses may water on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. No customers are permitted to water on Mondays. Drip irrigation and hand watering (hose, watering can, etc.) is allowed any day. Residential customers who violate the watering schedule will receive a warning. Repeat violations can lead to fines or loss of service. Visit www.UnionConserves.com for water-saving tips and best practices for landscaping.
NCDMV to issue IDs for revoked driver licenses RALEIGH – Residents whose driver licenses or permits are suspended or revoked will now receive a state-issued identification card from the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles. The DMV will mail the ID card to an individual after the DMV receives the seized or surrendered license. The ID card is free of charge and people do not need to apply to receive it. DMV will mail the ID card to the person’s address on file. The ID card is valid until the suspended or revoked driver license is reinstated or reissued by the NCDMV. The ID card issuance applies to driver licenses that were surrendered starting May 1.
CHARLOTTE – For the first time in months, gas prices averages are down on the week across the Carolinas. Gas prices in Charlotte averaged $2.66 on May 6, $2.67 on April 29 and $2.58 on April 6. Prices were $2.66 on May 6, 2018. North Carolina’s $2.70 average is down three cents on the week, up nine cents on the month and is two cents more than it was this time last year. “Motorists across the Carolinas are likely to continue to see prices fluctuate through this month, potentially going up and down as demand remains high and inventories work to catch up,” said Tiffany Wright, AAA Carolinas spokesperson.
CATA grad involved in UNCC shooting CHARLOTTE – Chancellor Philip Dubois described April 30 as the darkest day in UNC Charlotte history following a shooting that killed two students and injured four others on the last day of spring classes. The shooter took the lives of Riley Howell, 21, of Waynesville, and Ellis Parlier, 19, of Midland. Howell received much media attention for attempting to stop the assailant, but Parlier had a local connection to Union County. Parlier attended school at Porter Ridge elementary and middle schools, according to his obituary. He enrolled at UNCC after graduating in 2017 from the Central Academy of Technology and Arts in Monroe. “Today, was a very somber day for the CATA family,” Principal Vicki Merritt tweeted May 1. “Reed was known as a very kind, brilliant student who was soft spoken, yet had a very captivating presence. Our deepest condolences to the Parlier family and the UCPS/ UNCC communities.” The computer science major tutored middle school students in computer program-
ming, according to Dubois in a letter to the campus community. Police arrested Trystan Andrew Terrell, 22, and charged him with two counts of murder, four counts of attempted murder, four counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, as well as possessing and discharging a firearm on educational property. “I don’t believe you can stop a determined assailant and still have an open campus,” Dubois told reporters when asked about the university’s preparedness. “We have obviously chosen to have an open campus. It’s a terrible tragedy but I think through the combined work of first-responders and Riley, we have avoided a much greater loss of life. We are quite thankful for that.” Dubois has given the faculty the flexibility to decide how to deal with final exams. It’s also giving students who intend to walk the opportunity to do so, opting to worry about finishing their exams or certifying their degrees later. UNCC has launched a remembrance commission to figure out the best way to honor victims.

I haven’t made a lot of mistakes in my life, but I have made some and that was the biggest one. If you guys would ask Dan McCready one question about abortion, taxes or anything else that he would actually answer, I would be glad to give you my sexual history from the loss of virginity.”

leading the crowded field with 31%. Rushing was next at 17% while Ridenhour is at 9%. Leigh Brown was fourth at 6% while none of the other six candidates registered more than 5%. The most recent FEC reports show Bishop as the top fundraiser with $537,000 but a real estate political action committee has spent over $1 million in support of Brown. Bishop and Rushing traded barbs at times during the debate, which saw all the candidates agreeing on most major issues. Rushing attacked Bishop for the support he is getting from the conservative PAC Club for Growth. The Club for Growth has spent money attacking Rushing, who pointed out that the group spent over $7 million attacking President Donald Trump during the 2016 GOP presidential primary campaign. “First of all, the Club for Growth endorsed Mark Harris as I did (in the 2018 primary),” Bishop responded. “You endorsed (former congressman) Robert Pittenger. You would be delighted to have the endorsement of the Club for Growth, one of the preeminent conservative forces in the country.’’ Rushing was asked about an old YouTube video where he stated that a fellow commissioner “was fixing to get his rear end whipped” during a heated county commissioners meeting. The moderator asked Rushing if that is what the people will see from him in Washington? “Maybe we need a little of that in Washington,” Rushing responded. “The reason I was so angry that night was because the people of Union County were having money taken away from them illegally. We had been told by our lawyers it was illegal in what they were doing and yet they had three votes regardless of the arguments that we made. I don’t regret that because the people of Union County suffered greatly because of that vote.” Rushing was also asked about his admitted extra-marital affair and the impact it could
have on the race. “I have admitted that to a lot of people,” Rushing said. “I haven’t made a lot of mistakes in my life, but I have made some and that was the biggest one. If you guys would ask Dan McCready one question about abortion, taxes or anything else that he would actually answer, I would be glad to give you my sexual history from the loss of virginity.” Stevie Rivenbark questioned if that type of behavior would bode well in the general election against McCready. “How are you going to reach out to independent voters,” Rivenbark said. Bishop was questioned about his support in 2016 of HB2, which is better known as the “bathroom bill,” and asked if his support of the law, which was later changed, would be a liability in the general election. “I don’t think so,” Bishop said. “Everybody knows where I stood. I have been through scrutiny on that nationally and internationally. I think people are ready to move on from that. There are new issues, and issues are now whether we are going to stop illegal immigration, defend the Second Amendment.” Brown, who has never held political office, said the party will have a challenge in the general election over HB2 if Bishop is the nominee. “We have to bring all reasonable people to the Republican Party with a person who has no political baggage like myself,” Brown said. Brown, however, was questioned about the National Association of Realtors PAC running ads on her behalf after being one of the group’s top political fundraisers just before announcing her bid for Congress. Brown, who owns a real estate company, was asked if she had a deal with the PAC “that I’ll raise the money, then I’ll run and you run campaign ads for me?” “Absolutely not,” Brown responded. “I am a woman of honor and integrity. Every word, every action, every email, every text is open for scrutiny.”

Monroe native serves with U.S. Navy Helicopter Squadron by Kayla Turnbow Contributor
NORFOLK, Va. – Grant Starnes is a Navy pilot serving with the Fleet Angels, a versatile squadron that’s capable of completing a number of important missions with the MH-60S “Knighthawk” helicopter. Starnes, a lieutenant (junior grade) is responsible for transitioning to the MH-60S platform for the pilots to be ready for the fleet. Starnes credits success in the Navy to many of the lessons learned growing up in Monroe. “I was taught to stick with the job at hand and put my best effort into what needs to get done,” Starnes said. “Perseverance is important. You should always take things a step further and not just settle for knowing the minimum.” The 2012 Weddington High School graduate is serving with

Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron Two at Naval Station Norfolk. HSC-2 trains more than 1,500 pilots, aircrewmen and aviation students annually. When flying the “Knighthawk”
helicopter, members of the Fleet Angels search for surface ships, support special operations forces, conduct combat search and rescue missions, and perform other military operations around the world.
“This command does a good job of creating a climate to push each other to be better in an encouraging and competitive way,” Starnes said. A key element of the Navy the nation needs is tied to the fact that America is a maritime nation, according to Navy officials, and that the nation’s prosperity is tied to the ability to operate freely on the world’s oceans. Starnes is playing an important part in America’s focus on rebuilding military readiness, strengthening alliances and reforming business practices in support of National Defense Strategy. “Our priorities center on people, capabilities and processes, and will be achieved by our focus on speed, value, results and partnerships,” said Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer said. “Readiness, lethality and modernization are the requirements driving these pri-

orities.” Serving in the Navy is a continuing tradition of military service for Starnes, who has military ties with family members who have previously served. Starnes is honored to carry on the family tradition. “My dad was a captain in the Air Force,” Starnes said. “For me, serving is a matter of giving back.” As a member of one of the U.S. Navy’s most relied-upon assets, Starnes and other sailors know they are part of a legacy that will last beyond their lifetimes providing the Navy the nation needs. “Serving in the Navy means putting yourself forward for others,” Starnes said. “There are other things we could all be doing but we decided to do this as more selfless than self-interest.”

Warriors, Cavs & Mavs place within MaxPreps Cup’s top 100 by Andrew Stark andrew@cmgweekly.com
Weddington, Cuthbertson and Marvin Ridge were all represented in MaxPreps.com’s 2018-19 MaxPreps Cup when the final tallies for the winter seasons were announced. The MaxPreps Cup is a system used by MaxPreps to determine the top 100 high school sports programs in the nation. Schools accumulate points for finishing first or second in the state finals/ championship or finishing within the top 25 national rankings for
a particular sport. Points are also awarded based on the size of the state, the popularity of the sport, the playoff classification for the sport played and for the number of teams competing in that playoff classification. Weddington was the top placer of the bunch, jumping 43 spots and coming in 32nd with 829 points after placing 75th after the fall season. The Warriors football and boys cross country titles won state titles in the fall. They also gained points with the boys cross country team finishing the season ranked 24th in the country.
This winter, the Warriors got runner-up performances from the boys indoor track and field team and the girls swim team. They will likely jump in the standings after the spring numbers are tallied. The boys lacrosse team is the two-time defending state champs and ranked within see MAXPREPS, Page 2B

Unbeaten Weddington girls LAX falls in third round after unbeaten run by Andrew Stark andrew@cmgweekly.com
WEDDINGTON -- As the Weddington boys lacrosse team has raced to back-to-back NCHSAA 1A/2A/3A/ titles, the Warrior girls have enjoyed similar success during the regular season only to suffer heartbreak in the playoffs. In 2016, it was Myers Park ending the Warriors season in the Final Four by one goal. Last season, Charlotte Catholic nullified a perfect 15-0 start in the third round with a stinging 9-6 defeat. On top of that, this season’s first couple of weeks brought another challenge as coach Annie McGinley suddenly left the program. But nothing has derailed the Warriors as they’ve tried to make this their best season yet. “The girls themselves have all pulled together,” said Peter Case, who has assumed coaching responsibilities and who has previously coached 17 or the 23 girls during middle school and club lacrosse. “I’ve seen nothing out here but unbelievable cooperation. They help each other, they support each other and they’re very unselfish. Nobody talks about how many goals they score and I’ve had zero complaints from anyone. The girls have done a fantastic job.” They’re also playing some very good lacrosse. In a 16-10 win over Charlotte Latin on April 26 their killer instinct was put to the test. “I give credit to the coaches who set up the schedule,” Case said. “We beat Myers Park, Catholic, Lake Norman twice, Cardinal

tle sluggish while the Hawks attacked. Soon, after three straight Latin goals, the Weddington lead was cut to 11-10, but the battle-tested Warriors directed sophomore Jordyn Case to attack the box. From there, she took over down the stretch as Weddington scored five unanswered goals to run their record to 16-0 this season, which is a new school record. Jordyn Case has made a huge leap in production this year, and she’s fast enough to beat most defenders by herself as the Southern Carolinas Conference 100-meter sprint champion, a feat she accomplished basically in her spare time. This season, she leads the team with 62 goals, upping that from 52 a season ago. She’s also set career highs in assists (27) and draw percentage (.708). “I’ve noticed a huge difference,” said junior Meryl Johnson. “When you are a freshman I think it’s kind of overwhelming coming from middle school and our coach before was a lot of work. I think once she got used for it, she really got it going.” Johnson, who is a Michigan recruit and the reigning Union County Player of the Year, provides another dilemma for defenders. She’s third on the team in goals scored with 47 but also leads the team with 41 assists. “Usually my biggest stat is assists,” Johnson said. “My biggest target is usually Alex (Wall) because we have this thing where we know where each other will be. I give it to Jordyn because she can fly past people. I try to see the see WARRIORS, Page 2B

his week I had an interesting encounter with a coach. It’s a school we cover often because they excel in several sports each season. This coach’s team accomplished an amazing feat. It was a big deal. Not just to me, it was actually national news at the time. I’ve dealt with this coach many times but never actually met him or her. They have a reputation as being a little difficult, but to me, they’ve been great. I contacted the coach to see if I could swing by during practice. They emphatically said no. Wait, I thought. Why isn’t he letting me recognize his players? But the more I thought of it, this coach had a point. Yes what we did as a team was great, he said. But it wasn’t the result the coach was looking for. Our season isn’t over and we have bigger goals, they told me. All too often today, especially in youth sports, it’s rainbows, ice cream and participation trophies. I know the value of what a story in our paper can do for aspiring college athletes. At times, being the Matthews-Mint Hill Weekly Player of the Year will appear on college bios as confirmation of their talent. A feature on an athlete may stay in their scrapbook for the rest of their lives, a momento to share with their kids one day. I get it, so I wanted to recognize this team for what they’ve done. But I also get that coach. Instead of celebrating smaller accomplishments along the way, they were thinking big picture and pushing their kids toward stardom. He or she didn’t want their team put on a pedestal when their job is not yet complete. I respect that. Thanks, coach, for being difficult at times and for being hard on your team. You’ve certainly opened my eyes and given me a new respect for you. You’ve also made a decade of athletes on your team better because you demand more than just great. And for that, maybe you should be commended.

TEAM Charlotte swims to national acclaim by Andrew Stark andrew@cmgweekly.com
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – TEAM Charlotte Swimming recently won two national awards at the USA Swimming Club Marketing Awards at the Olympic Training Center. The nonprofit is a competitive swim team with four locations in Charlotte and Matthews for swimmers ages 6 to 18. The club, which employs 10 professional coaches, is a year-round, competitive swimming program that seeks to challenge and equip athletes with the tools and skills required to swim competitively. “We offer a dynamic yet challenging learning environment that emphasizes hard work and great technique, along with a dynamic culture where coaches, swimmers, parents and volunteers are passionate about the sport of competitive swimming and supporting one another in and out of the pool,” said Kristina Bond, who coaches at the club and at Providence Day. The club has gone from 33 swimmers to more than 250 in a few years. TEAM Charlotte was the only club from North Carolina recognized at the awards ceremo-
ny in Colorado. For the second straight year, TEAM Charlotte won the Marketing Club of the Year in the 151-300 swimmer range. But this year, TEAM Charlotte doubled up by taking the Best in Sportsmanship Award. The Marketing Club of the Year is considered the signature award at the awards conference. It is given to an organization that distinguishes itself in innovative and creative marketing campaigns to promote the club and the sport of swimming. The Best in Sponsorship is given to a club that uses the most unique strategy to bring in financial support and sponsorships. “Our parent board of directors, our coaching staff and our swimmers have worked hard to share our passion for swimming and love for what we do with as many families in the Charlotte area as we can,” Bond said. “Our families have been tirelessly working to make sure TEAM Charlotte is the best it can be, and is a place where any swimmer wanting to pursue their dreams is welcomed into a family environment that is doing everything we can to make sure our swimmers are successful.”

CHARLOTTE – Charlotte Latin announced on April 29 that longtime baseball coach Kim Cousar has announced his retirement at the conclusion of this season and Porter Ridge coach Daniel Cooke has been named his successor. Cousar has been a head baseball coach for 34 years and has led the Latin baseball program since 2011-2012. In his career, Cousar has coached nearly 100 players who have played collegiately and nine players who have signed professional contracts. With 460 career wins and a 2016 induction into the North Carolina Baseball Coaches’ Association Hall of Fame, Cousar said his time had come. “The Latin community is special because it really believes in the core values the school established long ago and has never strayed from them,” Cousar said. “To be a part of it has been a wonderful experience and I am grateful that I had such an opportunity.” Cousar also coached football and taught physical education at Charlotte Latin. The Hawks have struggled in recent times. This year, they went 6-11 and the team hasn’t produced a winning season since at least 2008 but Cooke has a history of turning programs around. “Daniel’s outstanding track record in building successful programs with enthusiastic leadership and stellar character made him rise to the top of the candidate pool,” Charlotte Latin athletic director David Gatoux said.
Cooke was chosen out of a pool of more than 100 applicants from across the country. He comes to Charlotte Latin from Porter Ridge, where he is in his first season with the Pirates. The bulk of Cooke’s coaching career was at Independence where he spent six seasons as a teacher and head of the baseball program. Cooke’s teams won conference championships in 2014 and 2016, earning him coach of the year accolades. “I couldn't be more excited to join Charlotte Latin and start this new chapter in my life,” Cooke said. “It's an honor to follow a hall of fame coach like coach Cousar and take over the baseball program. My biggest commitment is to develop student-athletes both on and off the field and I can't wait to get started.” Cooke was a standout athlete in his own right at Independence and later at Gardner-Webb, where he earned all-Big South honors in both sports. His name still appears in the Gardner-Webb record books in numerous categories, including most runs career runs scored (170) and most career steals (94). Cooke also ranks in the top 20 for career tackles in football. He served as a captain for both teams as a senior and was named the Gardner-Webb Male Student-Athlete of the Year that same season. Cooke lives in Indian Trail with his wife, Angela, and their 4-year-old daughter, Emma. He will also teach physical education while at Latin.

PGA Tour will continue visiting Charlotte by Paul Nielsen paul@cmgweekly.com
CHARLOTTE -- South Charlotte will continue to host one of the most important non-major PGA Tour stops as Quail Hollow Club President Johnny Harris and others announced April 30 that the Wells Fargo Championship will return through at least 2024. The 17th Wells Fargo Championship, which had a purse of $7.9 million, concluded May 5 when Max Homa took home the championship trophy after claiming a three-shot victory. The 2020 Wells Fargo Championship is again expected to occupy the first week of May when the tour schedule is released later this year. There is one wrinkle in the new contract, however. Quail Hollow Club is hosting the 2021 Presidents Cup and that means the Wells Fargo Championship will make a onetime stop in the Washington D.C. area that spring. “In 2003, Johnny Harris and the members of Quail Hollow Club, along with our company, had the desire to build one of the best tournaments in America and bring the best players in the world to Quail Hollow,” Wells Fargo Bank Charlotte regional president Kendall Alley said. “We have had, as you look at our champions, those players be here over the last 17 years. We are excited that this partnership has had great success. We look forward
to the next five years.” Since it first hosted a professional event in 1969, Quail Hollow has poured $22 million back into the course to make it one of the top venues on the PGA Tour. “Not a penny from the tour events has gone anywhere but back into our facilities to try and make it the kind of place that the tournaments want to come to, the tour wants to come to, and the best players in the world want to come to,” Harris said. “We have been fortunate to host the best players in the world and are looking forward to welcoming them back for years to come.” Wells Fargo has 25,000 employees in the Charlotte metro region and Alley said sponsoring a PGA Tour event makes good business sense. “The purpose of the sponsorship for Wells Fargo is about encouraging and exposing our brand, but also about taking care of our stakeholders, who are our communities, our customers and our team members,” Alley said. “And we have significant impact from each of those. From the branding standpoint, it certainly helps us build our business and get our name out there. And actually this, in my personal opinion, this is as good a week as Wells Fargo has for its brand and name. The Wells Fargo I know is represented very well by what we do right here at this tournament and we do it very well.”

field and know where they’re going to be before they get there.” Wall, who is Drexel commit, has been the benefit of both Case and Johnson’s passing. This season she has 49 goals while sophomore Kendal Williams has 44 goals and 15 assists. “The thing is we have so many different players that taking out one or two players
PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said the Wells Fargo Championship is one of the players’ favorite stops on tour, citing the exceptional condition of Quail Hollow Club and the region’s support of the tournament. All the corporate hospitality areas again sold out this year, and the tournament has traditionally drawn big crowds. “We're proud of the fact that this showcases Charlotte as one of the great sports towns in our country and in the world,” Monahan said. “Life is all about impact, and our tournaments are all about impact. And the impact that we've made is absolutely remarkable, and it will keep growing now for another five years. “From day one, this tournament has been so well supported by the fans of Charlotte that what this does is this sets a foundation through 2024. It allows the fans to prepare for what they're going to be doing over the next five years.” Heading into this year’s tournament, the Wells Fargo Championship had donated $22 million to local charities. Levine’s Children Hospital, The First Tee and Teach for America are the main beneficiaries of the tournament. Monahan said supporting local charities is a top goal of the PGA Tour, and that spirit of giving will continue over the next five years. The TPC Potomac hosted the Quicken Loans Invitational in
isn’t going to make a difference because everyone on our team can score,” Jordyn Case said. In addition to the firepower that also includes Blaine Randolph (18 goals) and freshman Ella Papke (15 goals), the Warriors have a shutdown defense anchored by Arizona State commit Flynn Murphy. With all of the pieces seemingly in place, the Warriors seemed destined to win it all after a 17-0 start. “The key for our team is limiting the other team’s possessions,” Peter Case said.
2017 and 2018. Monahan said the course is well suited to host the Wells Fargo Championship in 2021. “That is a course that we invested in significantly going back to 2008,” Monahan said. Alley said the one-time visit to the Washington D.C. area will be good for Wells Fargo. “We are excited about that opportunity,” Alley said. “It is a property that the Tour knows well and is very successful, and D.C. is a wonderful market for Wells Fargo. We’re thrilled to be able to have the opportunity to transition the tournament that year. But in '22, '23 and '24 we will bring it back home to Quail Hollow and we're very excited about that opportunity.” Quail Hollow Club hosted the 2017 PGA Championship and Charlotte city officials said the economic impact of that event was close to $100 million. The Presidents Cup could match that impact in the fall of 2020, and it might be a tough ticket to get. The Presidents Cup is a competition between Team USA and an International Team that represents the rest of the world, minus Europe. “I think what you will see is you are going to have more international travelers coming from all over the world to be here to experience Charlotte than you might have in a given week in the Wells Fargo Championship,” Monahan said. “But, I don’t think you can fit
“We’re really good on offense and we have seven or eight kids and even some kids who don’t play a lot on our bench who can score. So it’s really going to come down to limiting their offense by giving them one shot and then getting a clear. We need to win the draw, win the ground ball battle and if we can do those things and limit the other team’s possessions we’ll be really tough to beat.” Unfortunately for the Warriors, heartbreak struck again with a double-overtime 12-11 loss to Lake Norman, a team they’d
more people out here. It’s going to have that same great energy. It’s a team event and it is unique, it’s different and it is not something this community has seen. “The Presidents Cup itself just keeps getting better and better and better. Everyone around the world will be watching.” The PGA Tour adjusted its schedule this year, moving the Players Championship from May to March and the PGA Championship from August to May. That means the Wells Fargo is sandwiched in between the Masters Tournament in April and the PGA in May, but Monahan said he doesn’t expect the changes to impact the Wells Fargo Championship. “Given the prestige of this event, you're going to continue to see the best players in the world play here certainly for the next five years, and we expect longer than that,” Monahan said. Harris said Charlotte is also capable of hosting a women’s tournament if the LPGA ever decided to come to the Queen City. “I think all you have to do is look down the road into Georgia and see what an experience the women had with the amateur championship down at Augusta to understand that the women's golf is going to become more and more important to growing the game throughout the world,” Harris said. “It wouldn't surprise me if you saw a tournament like that come to Charlotte in the future. I hope it happens, and we would be very supportive of it wherever it was played.”
beaten twice this season, in the third round of the playoffs. Wall scored three times and Case and Johnson added two more goals but it wasn’t enough. But the Warriors will be back. Of the 13 players who scored two or more goals, only Wall will graduate. Defensively, Murphy will return in goal to shut down a team that has all the talent to make another run next year.
