Game of the Week: West Charlotte at Hough 

Hough hosted undefeated West Charlotte Friday. It was a defensive battle early, until a 52-yard field goal to open up the scoring by Nolan Hauser.

Later, Will Jones gets the Huskies into scoring range and Hauser boots a chip shot in to make it 6-0.

Then Jeremiah Jones takes a run to the house to put Hough up, 13-0.

But West Charlotte fought back, with QB KD Smith dropping it in the bucket to Donte Nicholson for the score to cut Hough's lead to 13-7, but that's as close as the Lions would get.

FINAL SCORE

Hough - 23

West Charlotte - 7
