Five high school football games are on tap for Monday, plus the story of a Newton Foard student who scored an emotional TD Friday
There are five area high school football games scheduled for Monday, including three involving Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools’ teams.
The games were moved from Friday due to the heavy rains the area saw.
The complete schedule:
Hickory Ridge at East Mecklenburg, 6
Highland Tech at Union Academy, 7
Mooresville at Hopewell, 6:30
Rock Hill South Pointe at York, 7:30
Rocky River at Independence, 6
Last week, Newton Foard High beat East Burke 63-14 and the biggest winner was Foard student Landon Scronce. Scronce is battling muscular dystrophy and both schools arranged for Scronce to get into the game on the last play.
Scronce has been the football manager for four years, but is on the roster as a player.
Riding in his wheelchair, Scronce took a handoff from Foard’s quarterback as the crowd chanted Landon’s name. He got the ball and rode to his right, then he went down the sideline and past all of the East Burke players, who began to chase him in jest. One of them dived, as if he were trying to tackle Landon, intentionally missing his target.
Ultimately, Landon scored a 56-yard touchdown, drawing even bigger cheers.

The Myers Park girls won a regional cross-country championship Saturday and will lead a large contingent of Charlotte-area runners into next Saturday’s state title meets.
Other regional champions from the area were Weddington (3A boys), North Lincoln (2A boys), Lincoln Charter (1A boys), Waxhaw Cuthbertson and Boone Watauga (3A girls), North Lincoln (2A), and Community School of Davidson and Lincoln Charter (1A girls).
The state championship meets will take place at Ivey Redmon Park in Kernersville, outside Winston-Salem.
The 2A and 4A races will start at 9:15 a.m., with the 1A and 3A races set for 2:15 p.m.
In the 4A girls’ race at McAlpine, team winner Myers Park was led by individual winner Cora Cooke, a sophomore whose time of 18:34.8 was 11 seconds better than second-place Lilly Walters, a Hough freshman.
In each of the regionals, the top four teams (or the top 25 percent of teams, whichever is greater) qualify for the state meet. Also qualifying are the seven fastest individual runners who are not members of a qualifying team.
Here’s how Saturday’s regional meets went:
Boys
4A WEST: Mooresville won the team title, with 42 points. Also qualifying for the state meet were Myers Park (61 points), Ardrey Kell (65) and Providence (79).
Hough and South Mecklenburg just missed, finishing fifth and sixth in the 13-team field. The top three individual finishers were Providence senior Pace Clark (16:18.9), Ardrey Kell sophomore Murphy Smith (16:33.1) and Mooresville junior Damien Gonzalez (16:41.1).
The best runner of the non-qualifying teams was 11th-place Michael Lillywhite of Mallard Creek.
3A MIDWEST: Weddington had five of the top eight runners in the meet at McAlpine and easily won the team title with 27 points. Also qualifying for the state meet were Waxhaw Cuthbertson (77), Winston-Salem Mount Tabor (91), Southwest Guilford (121) and Concord Cox Mill (126).
Weddington senior Jackson O’Hara was the individual winner, in 15:51.9. That was a little more than a second ahead of runner-up Jack Trabucco, a Cox Mill senior. John Ciprich, a senior from Unionville Piedmont, finished third and was the fastest runner from a non-qualifying team.
3A WEST: Skyland Roberson won the team title at McAlpine, with 70 points. Other qualifying teams were Asheville Reynolds (97), Marvin Ridge (104) and Boone Watauga (111). Top area runner was fourth-place Avery Cannon, a junior from Watauga. Highest-finishing individual (not with a qualifying team) was fifth-place Cooper Casteflaw, a senior from Alexander Central.
2A MIDWEST: North Lincoln ran away with the team title at Kernersville, with five of the top nine finishers and a team score of 24 points. Second, with 99 points, was Lake Norman Charter. Also qualifying for the state meet were Winston-Salem Atkins and Midway Oak Grove.
Junior Jason Thomson of North Lincoln was individual winner in 16:23.9. The highest-finishing individual state qualifier (not with a qualifying team) was 10th-place Noah Julian of South Rowan.
2A WEST: Brevard, Franklin, Valdese Draughn and Black Mountain Owen were the team qualifiers, and Lincolnton junior Daniel Hopkins was the race winner, leading the group of individual qualifiers for the state meet.
1A MIDWEST: Winston-Salem Bishop McGuinness captured the team title in Kernersville, with 43 points. Also qualifying for the state meet were Community School of Davidson (70), Queens Grant (136) and South Davidson (137).
Queens Grant senior Lucas Brown won the race, and South Stanly sophomore Daniel Vasquez finished 10th, leading the individual state meet qualifiers.
