Wildcats, Raiders ranked in first N.C. football poll of season
Ok, it really is all about football in Belmont — school sure must be fun this week at South Point.
It was great to see many of the varsity football team out supporting the real “footies” last night at Lineberger Stadium.

He’s been a clutch player his whole youth sport career and a great pick in anyone’s book.
Last Saturday’s win was just part of a storybook of goal setting and accomplishments for this great kid !
