Olympic is a perfect 3-0 against West Cabarrus since April of 2021 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Friday. The Trojans will head out on the road to challenge the Wolverines at 7:00 p.m. Olympic will be looking to extend their current four-game winning streak.
Olympic is headed into the game having just posted their closest win since October 25, 2024 on Friday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 24-21 victory over A.L. Brown.
A big part of Olympic's win came down to the chemistry between Chance Cato and his top target Jacoby Harris. Cato threw for 240 yards on 17 of 24 attempts while Harris picked up 118 receiving yards.
Olympic didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited A.L. Brown to a completion percentage of just 37.5%. That dominant aerial defense primarily came from four players: Shaun Hartzog, Conner Lewis, Jalen Bernard, and Bryce Nixon, who each logged one passes deflected. Olympic has been improving in that area: they had allowed a completion percentage of 0.62 earlier this season, but they've only allowed one of 0.62 in their last three games.
Meanwhile, West Cabarrus beat Harding University 17-6 on Friday.
The victory got West Cabarrus back to even at 3-3. As for Olympic, their win bumped their record up to 4-2.
Olympic was able to grind out a solid victory over West Cabarrus in their previous matchup back in September of 2024, winning 41-28. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was the Wolverines' Daylon Fuller, who rushed for 261 yards and one score while picking up 9.7 yards per carry. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for the Trojans to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
