CHARLOTTE COUNTRY DAY at ROBBINSVILLE (1-0)
Last week: Charlotte Country Day lost to Charlotte Myers Park, 19-14; Robbinsville beat Smoky Mountain, 22-21.
Last year: The two teams did not play.
Notes: Kicker is an unsung position in high school football until you don't have one. Robbinsville is learning that the hard way after the graduation of Josh Gibson. Gibson nailed 71 of his 72 extra-point attempts for last year's NCHSAA 1-A championship team. And coach Dee Walsh wasn't comfortable with letting one of Gibson's successors attempt an extra point in the closing seconds last week in Sylva. Instead, Lane Millsaps (107 yards, no touchdowns) hauled in a 2-point conversion pass from Colton Millsaps (63 yards and no touchdowns with one interception) to extend the Black Knights' state-best winning streak to 17 games. The defense was shored up by Chad McCoy (13 tackles), Kyler Brooks (eight) and Chandler Jumper (seven).
