West Charlotte never let their opponents score on Friday. They claimed a resounding 51-0 win over the North Mecklenburg Vikings. Given the Lions' advantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina football rankings (they are ranked 15th, while the Vikings are ranked 123rd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead West Charlotte to victory, but perhaps none more so than Jamouri Nichols, who threw for 202 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 30 yards. Another rusher making a difference was Aidan Turner, who rushed for 70 yards and three touchdowns.
Another reason for the win was West Charlotte's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for five sacks. The heavy lifting was done by Sincere Gray and Landon Cox-Arrington, who racked up four sacks between them. Gray has been hot recently, having also posted seven or more total tackles the last four times he's played.
