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
