📍 Multiple·Wednesday, July 1, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
A recent article in the Dallas News highlights the unique aspects of high school football in Texas. However, as a local reporter covering North Carolina high school football, I've noticed a similar trend emerging in our state. With the rise of powerhouse programs like Charlotte's Myers Park and the talented quarterback play of Cannon School's Tyler Burns, top recruits are beginning to take notice. Programs like West Charlotte and Charlotte Catholic are capitalizing on this trend by poaching top talent from neighboring states, including South Carolina and Georgia. As the competition for top talent heats up, North Carolina coaches are adapting by offering more flexible scheduling and travel opportunities to attract the best players.
