Westover defense picks apart West Johnston in blowout playoff win

Westover football hosted its first home playoff game since 2021, and the Wolverines made sure the occasion was worth the wait. No. 14 seed Westover dominated No. 19 West Johnston 44-0 in the first round of the NCHSAA 6A East playoffs on Friday, Nov. 6, delivering a commanding performance in its postseason return at home. The Wolverines (7-4) finished the season undefeated at home with a 5-0 record, and earned what could be the largest playoff victory in program history. The blowout win also marked Westover's fifth shutout of the season. "It's exciting just for the moment because of the fact that these kids deserve it, man," Westover coach Justin Sherrod said postgame. "Not just these kids, Westover deserves it.

"It was good that the defense did what they did this season, and that made the offense have to step their game up," Sherrod said. "It's just complementing football."
