Marshville, County end 4-year dispute Commissioner says agreement will lead to jobs, economic development for town BY HOLLY MORGAN
[email protected]
MARSHVILLE — A fouryear dispute between the Town of Marshville and Union County over the use of wastewater
treatment has come to an end. The town council “unanimously voted” to reach a settlement with Union County on the use of county operated wastewater treatment facili-
ties this week, according to an anonymous source with knowledge on the matter. The terms of the settlement have not been revealed. The Town of Marshville had a hearing on Friday morning, according to the source. After the Town of Marshville reached a settlement with
Union County, Commissioner Stony Rushing wrote in an email: “I am grateful that the Marshville Town Council voted unanimously to accept the offer from Union County. The offer included the opportunity for economic development and jobs in addition to lower utility rates. This light at the end of
the tunnel will come at a much needed time with the completion of the Monroe Expressway. Their decision will provide tools that the Town of Marshville will need and their citizens should be proud of the bold step they have taken.” SEE DISPUTE/PAGE A10

INDIAN TRAIL — Some students are “checking out” at Porter Ridge Middle School. The school has a new, “CheckIn, Check-Out” program (CICO) that provides selected students with a mentor to help encourage and support them. The mentor is a teacher at the school who is paired with a student. Students are not paired with teachers they have for a class. Three teachers from Porter Ridge Middle School discussed the CICO program and how it has helped some students. The CICO program is not for every student but ones who need help making good choices. Corrine Hart is a seventhgrade, language arts teacher at the middle school. “I think the main benefit is giving somebody that is in the building that they feel is invested in them and wants them to do well and wants them to succeed,” she said. “Some of them might not have that at home ... this is somebody (a mentor) who is not involved in their discipline whatsoever, that is not apart of their classroom where they might be having difficulty. It’s purely for someone to form a positive relationship with and help them work through some of these challenges they might be facing.” CICO is a Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports program (PBIS) that rewards students who demonstrate good behavior. PBIS initiatives focus more on praising students when they behave or do something well as opposed to focusing on how to discipline students when they misbehave. Schools will discipline students when they misbehave, but the hope for PBIS programs is SEE PROGRAM/PAGE A10

Study: Licensing reduces employment by 42,000 BY LINDSAY MARCHELLO ing may be around $6 CAROLINA JOURNAL NEWS SERVICE
RALEIGH — Occupational licensing may have cost North Carolina more than 42,000 jobs and millions in economic losses, a new study from the Institute for Justice says. The study from the nonprofit, liber tarian public interest law firm looked at the economic cost of occupational licensing across the countr y. According to the study, a conser vative measure of lost economic value by licens-
billion from the national economy, but a broader estimate looking at misallocated resources puts the amount about $184 billion. IJ says licensing probably leads to these losses because the practice restricts competition and gives licensed workers a monopoly. “With fewer competitors, licensees can charge more for their services. Consumers and the wider economy pay the price,” said Morris Kleiner, an economist at the Hum-
phrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. Kleiner co-authored the report with economist Evgeny Vorotnikov. In Nor th Carolina, the study found, the estimated economic return from licensing is 11.29 percent, compared to the national average of 13.88 percent. IJ suggests that consumers and the wider economy are bearing the cost of these economic returns. In the 1950s, the national average of licensed workers was
about 5 percent, but now that number has risen to 19 percent. Similarly, the percentage of licensed workers in North Carolina is 18.9 percent. North Carolina has the 27th highest percentage of licensed workers, with 753,751 licensed and employed in the state. The study estimated $112 million as a conservative measure of lost economic value in North Carolina due to occupational licensing. A broader estimate puts the lost economic value around $4 billion.
Senior Sportswriter Jeremy Vernon 704-261-2253
“Occupational licensing is the most burdensome way to regulate work,” said Lee McGrath, IJ’s senior legislative counsel. “And as this study shows, licensing also imposes heavy costs on the economy. Policymakers should carefully weigh the human and economic costs of occupational licenses and impose them only when necessar y to address present, significant and substantiated harms that cannot be mitigated by less burdensome alternatives.”

Rainy weather pushes back paving project for Expressway STAFF REPORT
Expressway to open with ribbon-cutting on Nov. 27 BY HOLLY MORGAN
[email protected]
STALLINGS — Rainy weather has pushed back the paving schedule on the Monroe Expressway project, according to the NC Department of Transportation. This weekend and next week, contract crews will continue paving and striping work between Interstate 485 and Indian Trail-Fairview Road. The Monroe Expressway is scheduled to open Nov. 27 at 10 a.m. Crews closed one lane on U.S. 74 in both directions starting on Friday. The closures will be in place until 6 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 21. One lane will remain open to traffic in each direction. The lanes may open sooner, depending on progress. Paving operations also required closing the ramp from the I-485 outer loop to U.S. 74 East (exit 51B) from 11 p.m. over the weekend. Go to DriveNC.gov for real-time travel information or follow NCDOT on Twitter.
After approximately 20 years of planning and preparation, the Monroe Expressway will open on Nov. 27 at 10 a.m. with a ribbon cutting that is open to the public. The Expressway will open shortly after the ribbon cutting ceremony. Carly Olexik, communications manager for the Turnpike Authority, wrote in an email that the project cost of the Expressway is $731 million with $17.7 million in overrun. The $17.7 million was used for various construction costs, including: sign-
ing, culvert, bridge and noise wall modifications, and modifications to mitigate utility conflicts that would have delayed project delivery,” she wrote. Money collected from tolls will cover debts and pay for maintenance of the Expressway, Olexik wrote. To promote driving on the Expressway and purchasing NC Quick Pass transponders, the Turnpike Authority and NC Quick Pass have been running digital, print and radio advertisements in the Charlotte area. Olexik wrote, “Over the last year, we have participated in more than a
100 local events and meetings in Mecklenburg and Union counties. There has been exposure to nearly 20,000 people at these events.” She wrote that construction for an Express lane on I-485 would begin in the summer of 2019 and would be open in 2022. WFAE has reported the Express toll lanes on I-77 from Charlotte to Mooresville will be completed by the end of the year. NCDOT’s website, under the I-77 Mobility Partners page, does not provide a specific date, but expects the project to be completed this year.

Heavy rain causes sewer overflows STAFF REPORT
The City of Monroe Water Resources Department responded to a sanitary sewer spill on Nov. 15, after heavy rains occurred across the region, according to the City’s communications department. The overflow of roughly 4,300 gallons entered Richardson Creek and Lake Lee. The impact to Richardson Creek was deemed minimal due to the large volume of creek flow, and there was no risk to the City of Monroe water supply, according to the report. Another sanitar y sewer over flow occurred off Old Fish Road near Unionville on Nov. 15. The overflow began at approximately 9:02 a.m. and lasted until approximately 2:32 p.m. The overflow was estimated at 14,100 gallons of wastewater entering Grassy Creek, according to a Union County Department of Public Works spokesperson. State regulations require that any spill of untreated wastewater greater than 1,000 gallons be reported to the NC Department of Environmental Quality within 24 hours, and that information be broadcast to all electronic and print media covering the county where the spill occurred. Residents can help by not flushing grease down their kitchen drains, by repairing any damage to white sewer cleanout caps in their yards, and by promptly reporting any suspected sanitary sewer overflow or problem to the City’s Water Resources Department at (704) 282-4601.

on a wall. The code was on the books for decades but was weakened in the 1940s and 1950s — particularly in 1952 when the U.S. Supreme Court, considering a case involving the movie “The Miracle,” extended First Amendment protections to films. Likewise in television, the “Television Code” was adopted by the National Association of Broadcasters under threat of a government council to set rules. From 1952 to 1983, the code ruled on everything from how actors dressed to references to religion, sex, family life and more. Famously, the code resulted in married couples shown on TV only using double beds and in 1952, when the star of “I Love Lucy,” Lucille Ball, became pregnant, that word was not permitted — the show was allowed to say only that she was “with child” or “expecting.” When the sound of a flushing toilet was heard in 1971 in an episode of the groundbreaking sitcom, “All in the Family,” it reflected a growing demand by the public for realism rather than the unrealistic depictions of everyday life that the code had encouraged. Note that all of those overreactive attempts to regulate came early in the development of those mediums of expression. The web is barely out of its teenage years, in effect, and social media megaliths such as Facebook and Twitter are even younger. The web’s revolutionizing impact extends from newly accessible public records to instant global communication. And our reliance on social media as a means of reporting news, recording our lives and relaying our views is unlike anything seen in generations, if anything before. But if history is a guide — and it is — we need to temper calls to “protect” ourselves from that which we do not like or find dangerous, lest we replace such with censored, sanitized and government-regulated messages or content intended to pacify rather than provoke and inform. There may well be a need to rein in the wild web, to set privacy boundaries and fight real misuse. But we must be certain that the control over what we see, hear, say and access remains as close to our own fingertips as possible — and not handed over to some “National Nanny” claiming to act on our behalf, lest we be confined to a future of shadows on the wall, double beds and a view of life where no one ever uses a toilet.

American Bank & Trust (proposed) is organizing under the laws of the State of North Carolina to engage in a full-service commercial and consumer banking business out of its initial offices to be located in the City of Monroe, Union County, North Carolina.

that with enough positive reinforcement for good behavior, students will choose to behave and make good choices, thus, negating a need for disciplinary actions. At Por ter Ridge Middle, students who are chosen to be apart of the program, have a short conversation with their mentors in the mornings and afternoons. The mentor asks them how their day went and how they are feeling. Each student has a scorecard that their teachers fill out and give to the mentors to show how the student acted in class. The scores range from one to three with three being the best. The
scorecard lists how prepared, how responsible and respectful the student was that day. Stephen Harris Jr. is an eighth-grade math teacher at the school. He said that each day he and the student he mentors discuss the scorecard and why the student may have struggled. Also, they discuss what the student can do in the future so avoid struggling. The scorecards are kept so that they can be presented at parent-teacher meetings and Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings when a student has behavioral goals. The data from scorecards will show if CICO is working and worth continuing in the future. Harris said he saw improvement in his student’s behavior. Prior to the CICO program, the student did not make an effort

to change his poor behavior, but after being apart of the program since August, Harris said, the student is changing their behavior for the better to earn positive reinforcement. He said the student has a sense of pride when they are able to get signatures from teachers confirming their good behavior. Tracey Vargas, a sixth-grade language arts teacher at Porter Ridge Middle said that faculty members are paired with students based on recommendations from school administration, teachers and counselors. Faculty members and students who have similar personalities are paired because the school is trying show students that they can trust the teachers. Students are not paired with faculty members based on gender.

CICO is exclusive to Porter Ridge Middle School, but in the future, all schools in North Carolina will have a PBIS program like CICO. The goal for CICO is for every teacher to be a mentor to at least one student, according to Hart. The program has about 15 students this year. PBIS programs have three modules; one is for the entire student population, another is for selected students who need help making good choices and the third module is for students who need to be taught what good choices look like. Students in module three are taught by school counselors on good choices. According to Hart, the CICO program will stay with teachers; therefore, school counselors will not mentor students because they have a separate role with students in

Until 2014, the Town of Marshville utilized wastewater treatment facilities operated by Union County. Marshville paid Union County based on usage of the facility. In 2014, the town stopped paying the County for wastewater treatment ser vices because it accused the County of overcharging. Meters, purchased by the County, determined how much wastewater from Marshville was treated. An ar ticle in The Enquirer-

the module three category. Vargas said implementing a CICO program at school is important because: “... having somebody there to just listen and somebody there to talk to ... and asking for advice and building communication skills and relationship skills, that’s huge and you do see a difference.” She said, at first, students feel awkward communicating with an adult about their feelings, but after a few conversations, the difference in students’ willingness to communicate is “tremendous.” “Just letting kids know they have somebody if they need to vent or just talk to or just brag to someone who really, genuinely cares about their day and how they did that day,” she said.

Jour nal in 2016 stated that Marshville owed more than $300,000 to the County. In April of 2016, a lawsuit filed by the county showed that the balance rose to $467,000 in unpaid fees, according to an appeals case prepared by the North Carolina Court of Appeals in September of 2017. Marshville attempted to dismiss the lawsuit and claimed that they had equitable share in the wastewater treatment facility because they paid to use it. In October of 2016, the county revoked the town’s ability to use county wastewater facilities.

There, detectives reportedly located and seized cocaine and filed multiple charges against Devon DeShaun Dennis, 27, of the residence. Dennis is charged with several counts of Possession with Intent to Sell and Deliver Cocaine.
An earlier ar ticle published by The Enquirer-Journal stated that Marshville, in 2018, utilizes wastewater treatment facilities in Anson County and an East Union facility. The Town of Marshville made a contract with Union County in 1978 to use county operated wastewater treatment facilities. In 1994, the contract was extended and again in 2011. In 2012, Union County approached the Town about a new contract, but a decision was not made. The County and Town still operated under the original contract, per the appeals case.

Warriors roll to 48-0 victory Carson praises Capone in win over Central Cabarrus BY JEREMY VERNON
[email protected]
WEDDINGTON — Continuing its streak of dominant play, the Weddington High football team routed Central Cabarrus, 48-0, at home Friday night in the first round of the 3AA state playoffs. The Warriors (11-1), who gave up 142 yards of total of fense against the Vikings (8-4), have now outscored their last six opponents by a total of 223 points, 279-56, since their lone loss of the season to Charlotte Catholic on Sep. 28. “Of fensively, I just told them (after the Catholic game) I was angr y, and I wanted to play angry offensively the rest of the year,” first-year head coach Andy Capone said.
“They kind of bought into it ... You never want to get shut out, and we’ve got too many skill guys and too good of an offense to do that. So I think they’ve bought into the angry mentality and we’re starting to click on all cylinders.” Things went wrong in a hurr y for Central Cabarrus, as two botched snaps on punts gave Weddington the ball inside the Vikings’ 10-yard line on back-to-back possessions to open the game. The Warriors capitalized on the short field position with two touchdown passes from senior quar terback Whitner Litton to senior receiver Max Brimigion to take the quick 14-0 advantage.

Last-minute TD lifts Country Day to title BY MICHAEL WAYNE O’NEILL E-J INTERN
INDIAN TRAIL – With 1:09 to play in the state championship game, on a 4th-and-19 play, sophomore Russell Tabor scrambled before completing a 22-yard touchdown pass to senior Rylan McLaurin that lifted his Charlotte Country Day Buccaneers (8-5 final record) to a 17-14 victor y over Metrolina Christian Academy (8-4) Friday on MCA’s home field. Countr y Day also won the N.C. Independent School Division II state football title in 2010. CCD finished second in the state last year after knocking out MCA in the first round. Friday marked the first time in school history that Metrolina has appeared in a state championship football game. “We played our hearts out,” said Metrolina coach Thomas Langley. “We had a really good week of practice. We thought it would be a defensive battle. Both teams (came into the game) with pretty good defenses SEE TITLE/PAGE B3
When Metrolina football coach Thomas Langley said his team “played their hearts out” in the state championship game, he was talking about plays like this — when senior Dylan Quick used his grip on the undershirt of Country Day ‘s Twan Flip Jr. (5) to bring him to the ground.

INDIAN TRAIL — Behind its prolific rushing attack, Porter Ridge High’s football team eliminated R.J. Reynolds, 48-22, in the opening round of the 4A state playoffs on Friday. Pirates senior tailback Jaylen Coleman was the catalyst, rushing for a game-high 235 yards and three touchdowns on 15 carries. He scored from 58 yards out on
the first play from scrimmage and added two more TDs in the first half on runs of 62 and 29 yards to give the Pirates a 21-7 advantage. “I give the credit to my offensive line and the coaches,” said Coleman. “They made holes where I needed them to be and I took advantage of it. We got a lot of guys back in practice this week and that helped.” SEE PIRATES/PAGE B3

Monroe pulls away from Freedom Mount Tabor knocks out Mavs BY ASH HUTTO CORRESPONDENT
MORGANTON — Monroe High scored 20 unanswered points in the fourth quarter and caused six turnovers on the night during a 43-20 upset at Freedom in the first round of the 3A playoffs on Friday. Freedom entered the game seeded sixth with a 9-2 record while the 11th-seeded Redhawks barely finished the regular season above .500 (6-5). “They are one of the best teams in their league,” said Monroe coach Johnny Sowell of the Patriots, who placed second
in the Northwestern 3A/4A Conference. “We had a good game plan. Our kids didn’t want to go home. We felt like we left a couple of scores on the field in the first half so we came out in the second half and started clicking pretty good.” An interception set up the Redhawks’ first score, a field goal. Freedom responded by taking its only lead of the night, 6-3. Monroe led 16-14 at halftime. “We have done a pretty good job at halftime making adjustments and finding out what we want to attack and stick with it,” said Sowell. “We were able to run and throw the ball well and as long as we don’t turn the ball over we will be all right.”
Both teams scored a touchdown in the third and the Redhawks held a 23-20 lead going into the final quarter. Monroe had three takeaways in the four th quar ter. During the regular season, the Patriots had just eight total turnovers in their last eight games. “A lot of it has to do with team pursuit,” said Sowell of his team forcing turnovers. “(Senior Chris) Colon, he was able to make some big hits. Those big hits turned into fumbles and they were able to get on the ball. It was a team ef for t … It was a complete game for us. Kicking game was good for us, too. All three phases did well for us.” Monroe (7-5) advances to the second round where they
will take on defending state champion Charlotte Catholic. The Redhawks played Catholic close in the regular season in a 21-14 loss to the Cougars, who have won 11 games in a row. “We gave oppor tunities away,” said Sowell of the last meeting against Catholic. “We just need to capitalize and not make those same mistakes. We as coaches need to make sure they have a good week of practice. This game Friday means more now than it did before.”
MOUNT TABOR 27, MARVIN RIDGE 14
Mount Tabor eliminated Mar vin Ridge in the first round of the 3AA playoffs. The home team jumped out to a 14-0 lead at the half
before the Mavericks scored in the third quar ter when sophomore quarterback Sully McDermott connected with Sean Brown in the end zone to cut the lead to 14-7. The Spartans put the game away with two straight touchdowns to extend their lead to 27-7. McDermott threw another touchdown, this time to junior Aidan Twombly, but could get no closer than 13 points. Mount Tabor, which went undefeated in the Piedmont Triad Conference and earned a No. 3 seed, improved to 8-4 overall. Mount will host Asheville Erwin in the second round. Mar vin Ridge, seeded 14th, completed the season with a 6-6 record.
Sun Valley advances, reaches 10 victories FROM STAFF REPORT
CONCORD — Sun Valley High defeated Cox Mill 30-14 in the first round of the 3AA playoffs in a historic night for Spartans QB Sam Howell, who broke the NCHSAA record for total all-purpose yards in a career. Howell rushed for a touchdown and threw for three more scores, including pass plays of 71 and 39 yards to Isiah Hall and a 60-yard TD pass to Christian McIntosh. Sun Valley, seeded 10th in the West Region, led 24-7 in the fourth quarter when seventh-seeded Cox Mill scored its only offensive touchdown of the night. The Spar tans’ defense held Cox Mill to just seven points; the Chargers also scored on a blocked punt. The 14 total points were the lowest total of the season for Cox Mill.
They also had a chance to score on the opening possession, but the Spartans defense forced a fumble at the goal line that junior Kolbi Anderson recovered in the end zone for a touchback. Sun Valley has now won five straight games to improve to 10-2. They advance to the second round where will travel to face A.C. Reynolds on Friday in a rematch of last year’s state semifinal game, won by Reynolds 28-25. Cox Mill finished the season with an 8-4 record. Sun Valley junior Christian McIntosh (11) caught a pass from Sam Howell (14) and turned it into a 60-yard touchdown pass in Friday’s win at Cox Mill. ED COTTINGHAM / Enquirer-Journal
Stellar defense gives Warriors shot at another state title BY JEREMY VERNON
[email protected]
A staple under long-time head coach T im Carson, Weddington High’s defense has continued its dominance under first-year head coach Andy Capone so far this season. Friday night’s first round game against Central Cabarrus was perhaps the unit’s strongest outing all year, as the Warriors shut out the Vikings, 48-0, and only allowed 142 yards of total offense. Weddington brought pressure from the outset, stuf fing runs two and three yards behind the line of scrimmage and getting after Central Cabarrus quarterback Evan McGee early and often. The intensity overwhelmed the Vikings and gave the Warrior offense the ball inside Cabarrus’ 30-yard line on each of their first three possessions. “Just relentless,” Capone said of his defense. “All year long we’ve just preached getting after the quarterback, getting after ever ybody and being physical and playing to the whistle, and they continue to do that relentlessly and it puts us in good field position ... It’s a team (effort),

But even when the Warriors didn’t get pressure on the quarterback, they were still disrupting things on the back end.
Along with a few batted passes at the line of scrimmage, junior defensive end Trey Alsbrooks jumped in front of a short route and returned an interception 15 yards for a touchdown to push Weddington’s lead to 42-0 in the second quarter. The Vikings responded by putting together their best drive of the game — making it

TROY CHERRY / Enquirer-Journal
Weddington junior kicker Ian Williams made two field goals, including this 50-yarder, and his holder, Max Brimigion (2), caught two touchdown passes.
Weddington’s average starting field position in the first half was the Central Cabarrus 35-yard line. After Litton threw two more touchdown passes on back-toback possessions to Will Shipley and Eamon Murphy to push the lead to 28-0, it was time for the other two phases of the game to carr y the scoring load. After Weddington forced a three-andout on Central Cabarrus’ ensuing possession, senior James Shipley returned a punt 56 yards for a touchdown. Three plays later, Trey Alsbrooks intercepted the Vikings’ quarterback and took it back 15 yards for another score. “We practiced really hard this week, and we got a lot of film on them and we studied it really hard,” Alsbrooks said. “The defense even took extra time on
down to the Weddington 9-yard line — but the drive ended after senior Max Brimigion intercepted McGee in the end zone on fourth down. “Our defense, up front we are amazing,” Brimigion said. “We can just play with our front four defensive linemen, and we know they can stop the run, and that gives us less pressure as DBs so we know we can just lock up one-on-one.” When the Warriors won the 3AA state title in 2016, their defense allowed an average of just 12.9 points per game and also shut out their firstround opponent, Statesville, at the start of the playoffs. This year’s Warriors have given up an average of 12.8 points per game, but the similarities don’t stop there for what Weddington hopes is another title contender. “A few years ago we had a ton of seniors ... and this year we have a bunch of seniors,” said Brimigion, who caught 17 passes for 290 yards and three scores as a sophomore in 2016. “Just the overall feel, it’s such a tight unit. We’re all family and we all love each other like brothers. The feeling (this year) really feels the same.”
their own trying to study film and knowing what they were about to do.” With a 45-0 advantage at the halftime break, the Warriors gave most of their starters a rest for the majority of the second half. Still, Central Cabarrus only had one play in Weddington territory over the final two quarters of the game. In attendance for Friday’s win, former Warriors coach Tim Carson said he’s liked what he’s seen from the team and their coach so far this season. “We knew Andy was going to be a good coach. He did it while I was here and he’s leading this team,” Carson said. “From looking at it, he’s brought a lot more energy to the team, and that’s what they need. They need that energy and he makes it a little bit more fun. He’s a great coach and he’s just going to keep going. You’ve got a great group of young men who work hard and the perfect man for the job.” Next up for Weddington is a
trip to Statesville, where the Warriors will take on No. 4 seed South Iredell next Friday in the second round of the 3AA state playof fs. The War riors have won the only previous meeting between the two teams -- a 38-0 drubbing in the first round of the 2014 state playoffs.

Panthers look for bounce-back in Detroit BY JEREMY VERNON
[email protected]
After an embarrassing 31-point loss to the Steelers last Thursday, the Carolina Panthers (6-3) will look to turn things around in Detroit on Sunday as they take on the Lions (3-6), who have lost three straight games by double digits. Here’s what to expect:
POUND THE ROCK
A big par t of Detroit’s hor rid star t to the season has been their inability to defend the r un under first-year head coach Matt Patricia, and that could spell a big day for Carolina r unning back Christian McCaffrey. The Lions are currently 23rd in the league in run defense and 27th in yards allowed per attempt (4.9). In contrast, McCaffrey has averaged 4.7 yards per carry and is coming off back to back games with at least 75
rushing yards and a touchdown. McCaffrey was the lone bright spot for the Panthers against Pittsburgh, and the second-year back has now scored at least two touchdowns in three consecutive games. He has a new backup now after the Panthers released CJ Anderson. Cameron Artis-Payne will play behind McCaffrey and recently-acquired Travaris Cadet is now the third tailback.
WAKE-UP GAME
The Panthers’ inability to consistently get pressure on the quarterback came back to bite them in a big way against the Steelers, as quarterback Ben Roethlisberger finished 22-of-25 for 328 yards, five touchdowns and a per fect passer rating while only being sacked one time. Carolina faces another dynamic quar terback this week in Matthew Stafford, but the Lions’ offensive line has struggled at times to defend the
CAROLINA AT DETROIT 1 p.m. on FOX All-time series: The Panthers lead the all-time series with the Lions, 6-2. Noteworthy: Cam Newton has completed 48-of-67 passes (71.6 percent) for 636 yards and four touchdowns in his past two games against the Lions.
veteran this season. Detroit ranks 23rd in the league with 29 sacks allowed this season. Stafford has been sacked more than 47 times in one season (2017), although the Lions look primed to break that record this season. The Panthers will need big performances from Julius Peppers, Mario Addison and their interior pass rushers if they hope to set the tone defensively.
LOOKING BACK
These two teams also played in Detroit last season, with the Panthers holding of f a four th-quar ter comeback to escape with a 27-24 lead. Last season’s game against the Lions was quarterback Cam Newton’s best performance of the year from a statistical perspective. Newton completed 26-of-33 passes for 355 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Panthers to a win, aided by big performances from tight end Ed Dickson (five catches, 175 yards) and Devin Funchess (seven catches, 53 yards, one touchdown). Newton has seen his numbers jump up this season under the direction of of fensive coordinator Nor v Turner, and Sunday presents another opportunity for the veteran quarterback to put up another solid performance.
Hamlin on pole for title race at Homestead BY REID SPENCER NASCAR WIRE SERVICE
HOMESTEAD, Fla. — Three of the four Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Championship 4 drivers qualified near the top of the board in Friday’s knockout time trials at Homestead-Miami Speedway, but Denny Hamlin, who has his own agenda, stole the pole for Sunday’s Ford EcoBoost 400 (at 3 p.m. ET on NBC, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90). Tr ying to extend his streak of winning at least one race per season to 13 consecutive years, Hamlin streaked around the 1.5-mile track in 31.059 seconds (173.863 mph) to secure the top starting spot in the race that will determine the series champion. Hamlin edged Joe Gibbs Racing teammate and Championship 4 competitor Kyle Busch (173.622 mph) by .043 seconds in the money round. Future JGR teammate and reigning series champion Martin Truex Jr., qualified third at 173.539 mph. Playof f driver Joey Logano was fifth fastest in the No. 22 Team Penske Ford at 173.366 mph. Fellow title contender Kevin Harvick fought a tight-handling No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford to a 12th-place run in the final round of qualifying. Hamlin has more than his streak of winning seasons on the line. He revealed via Twitter on Friday that Mike “Wheels” will no longer be his crew chief after Sunday’s race. No replacement has been named. Hamlin hopes to duplicate his performance from five years ago when he won at Homestead for his only victory of the season. “It’s big for us to get this race team up front here,” said Hamlin, who won his fourth pole of the season, his third at Homestead (and second in a row). “We definitely want to end on a high note and try to win. In 2013 we were in the same predicament where we hadn’t won a race until the final race and we got it done, so hopefully it’s our
time to do it. “We’re going to keep digging. Hats off to this team. We were hanging around that seventh to 10th the first couple of rounds and they just… “Wheels” made the right adjustments.” Busch was pleased with his qualifying effort, even though it fell just short. “Not too bad, wish we had a little bit more there obviously to get the number one pit box,” Busch said. “Two years in a row, Denny has been able to figure that last run out. Just see what happens tomorrow.” Where Har vick’s car was too tight in the final round, Truex’s was too loose. “We were a little too free on that final run,” Truex said. “I tried to gain a little bit more but I just couldn’t quite finish getting the throttle down and I think I lost a little bit there. It was a good day. Great effort by the guys. Nice, smooth solid day, which is what we needed. We go win this thing from there and we’ll get to work tomorrow.” NASCAR CUP SERIES QUALIFYING
