It’s official, Country Day-Charlotte Catholic prep football rivalry to be put on hold
It’s official. The Charlotte Country Day-Charlotte Catholic high school football rivalry is being put on pause.
The teams will not play next fall.
Charlotte Country Day released its football schedule Wednesday. It does not include the Catholic game.
The teams met for the 58th time last August. Catholic won 20-3. It was the 32nd straight year the teams had played for the John Cook Cup, named for the legendary Charlotte Country Day football coach.
The 2019 scheduling issues arose after school officials realized that the football programs’ calendars didn’t match up. Country Day’s first available playing date is a week earlier than Charlotte Catholic’s next fall, and the teams had agreed to play on Week 4. For Charlotte Catholic, Week 4 is Sept. 13.
