Two teams in, two out of new football Sweet 16


Two teams drop out of the Sweet 16 this week and Clover, S.C., and Charlotte Catholic zoom in.


Clover, a 4A team, jumps in at No. 16 after beating 2009 N.C. 3AA state champion Belmont South Point and N.C. 3A team Gastonia Ashbrook in consecutive weeks. Catholic, a 3A team, is in after beating 4A South Meck and 4A regional power Providence on back-to-back Fridays.

Catholic jumps all the way to No. 10.


Belmont South Point, which has lost to Clover and 2A Lincolnton in back-to-back weeks, drops out. The Red Raiders were No. 10 last week. Also dropping out was No. 16 Olympic, which was soundly beaten by Myers Park, 39-6 last week.


Also, Rock Hill South Pointe is down two spots, to No. 6, after losing 42-20 to city rival Rock Hill Northwestern Saturday; and Independence, despite not playing, drops three spots to No. 9, the Patriots lowest ranking in 10 years.


Independence (0-1) plays a key home game against Rock Hill South Pointe (1-1) Friday. South Pointe defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, the nation’s top overall recruit, had two sacks and nine tackles against Northwestern. Four of his tackles were for a loss.
