The North Mecklenburg Vikings will hit the road for the first time this season to take on the Olympic Trojans at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
North Mecklenburg is leaving town to face Olympic after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. North Mecklenburg lost 23-0 to Lake Norman on Friday. The loss continues a trend for the Vikings in their matchups with the Wildcats: they've now lost four in a row.
Meanwhile, Olympic had to travel to play their first game of the season, but the final result was worth the trip. They pulled ahead with a 21-20 photo finish over West Mecklenburg on Friday.
Among those leading the charge was Alex Wiley Iv, who picked up 54 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
North Mecklenburg didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup against Olympic in their previous meeting back in August of 2023, but they still walked away with a 19-14 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for North Mecklenburg since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
