Westover football's 'Fantastic Four' freshmen shape playoff future

Success on the gridiron has found its way to Bonanza Drive, and inside the Westover football locker room. Amid a 7-4 record marked by an undefeated home stretch that rounded out its final home game last Friday against No. 19 West Johnston in the NCHSAA 6A East playoffs, four freshmen have consistently made their presence felt on Friday nights: Zion Williams, Jrue Glenn, Montana Boney, and Jarrod Smith, known as the "Fantastic Four" in the Westover program. Westover head coach Justin Sherrod spoke about the quartet and how much they mean to the program, with their immediate impact on their winning season, which has landed them in the second round of the NCHSAA 6A East playoffs. For Sherrod, their emergence is the result of a plan that began before they ever stepped onto a high school football field. "I've seen the potential in those guys in eighth grade," Sherrod said. "Most importantly, I wanted to make sure that they knew who I was, what this program is going to be, and that these guys are going to be the future of the program for the next three years." Here's what each of the "Fantastic Four" freshmen bring to the Wolverines,

NC charter school has been delayed yet again. When it now plans to open in Chatham.

A new charter school focused on helping students learn job skills is now scheduled to open in Chatham County in 2029 — five years after it was first approved. The N.C. Charter Schools Review Board voted 7-2 on Monday to approve Granite Charter Academy’s request to delay its opening until fall 2029 . School leaders said the delay will give them time to construct a campus in Pittsboro that would eventually allow them to serve 1,500 K-12 students. “Seeing the development in the area, I’m sure Chatham County is excited to have a school that they’re not running a bond package on,” said Lindalyn Kakadelis, a member of the Review Board. But some Review Board members raised concerns about allowing such a long delay. Granite was originally approved by the Review Board in 2024 with a scheduled opening this school year. Staff in the Office of Charter Schools previously had approved Granite’s request to delay opening until 2027. On Monday, the school sought an additional two-year delay. “I do believe it’s a great endeavor and very purposeful and needed, but we’d be approving an application that’s five years removed from all the original intent,” said Review Board member Rita Haire,

What to watch at UNC and NC State boards of trustees meetings this week

Hello reader! Welcome to Higher Stakes , your source for North Carolina’s higher education news. I’m reporter Jane Winik Sartwell . It’s going to be a big week. Both the UNC-Chapel Hill and NC State trustees are meeting. The fallout from the disturbing Sigma Nu hazing investigation continues to unfold. St. Augustine’s , the historically Black university in Raleigh, faces a deadline to explain how it plans to exit bankruptcy. I’ll be focused all week on bringing you the latest on these stories. Stay tuned. For now, here’s a preview of what to expect at those trustees meetings. What to expect from UNC’s trustees Protocol for campus-wide centers and institutes could be changing. A proposed policy could expand the provost’s control over the launch of new centers, who sits on committees that handle their periodical reviews, and their discontinuation or reclassification. Earlier this year, the abrupt closure and consolidation of six centers focused on international studies brought this issue to the fore. Academic program review could now consider cost. A presentation on the Academic Program Review Refresh Project says that the initiative allows the university to tell whether “cost of instruction is aligned with student demand.” Trustee Marty Kotis previously

Tuesday's basketball rewind: No. 1 Queen's Grant starts to shake off some rust

Queen’s Grant, the reigning N.C. High School Athletic Association 2A state champion, has had a rough start to the season. The Stallions (2-2), ranked No. 1 in The Observer’s preseason Sweet 16 poll , lost to private school 3A state power Concord Academy last week on a buzzer-beater.
