Sun Valley and Concord are back in the Observer’s Sweet high school football poll this week.
The N.C. public schools are down to the quarterfinal round and Sun Valley’s Spartans and Concord’s Spiders both qualified with resounding playoff wins Friday.
Sun Valley went to Hudson and got five rushing touchdowns from sophomore running back Albert Funderburk to beat previously unbeaten South Caldwell 56-35 in the 4A playoffs. Concord QB B.J. Beecher went over 10,000 career yards passing in a 55-30 win over West Rowan in the 3A playoffs.
West Rowan had knocked Concord out of the playoffs the previous two years.
The top of the poll remained unchanged. Butler and Mallard Creek are No. 1 and No. 2, and if both teams can win Friday -- Butler at Memorial Stadium against unbeaten East Forsyth and Mallard Creek at home against fast-rising Olympic -- the two N.C. powers would play in the state semifinals in two weeks.
Butler is up one spot to No. 7 in MaxPreps national poll. The Bulldogs are No. 6 in ESPN’s poll and they are up to No. 5 in USA Today's national poll.

Real question is who wins everyday between Butler's first D and first offense? I bet that is most competition they face all year
frivilousness irrelevance insultuous ...
begone with such unwanted useless trivialness
...which differs when compared to the 11-12-2012 Rivals Top 100 rankings who are of the opinion that only five teams in the Charlotte area are 'sweet'.
1. Butler (#10)
2. Mallard Creek (#52)
3. York Comprehensive (#57)
4. Rock Hill South Pointe (#58)
5. Rock Hill Northwestern (#59)
will Statesville be ranked higher than 7th after beating South Point. Seems like they have been ranked 7th all season.
Statesville beat SP? Not going to happen.

Amazing how MCHS Ducks get the wus playoff route every yr as compared to BHS Dawgs. Undefeated East Forsyth compared to 4 loss joke OHS or even Vance is proof. EZ meat.
No sweat. We know who always chokes and who prevails with a BIG DUB and big gold ring in the end. Instant replay time.
Cant wait for that 2nd quack attack snack. Dog eats Duck.
