On eve of playoff debut, nationally ranked Hough football investigated, cleared

Nationally ranked Hough High School will make its 2026 N.C. high school football playoff debut Friday night at home against Palisades. The Observer has learned that the N.C. High School Athletic Association investigated a potential rules violation concerning student-athlete eligibility on the team, and referred the case to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. No violations were found. “When concerns regarding residency or eligibility are raised, those concerns are reviewed through the appropriate CMS processes, including coordination with CMS Athletics and CMS Student Placement,” said CMS spokesperson Tom Miner. “Hough High School has consistently worked closely with district staff to address any residency or eligibility questions that have been brought forward.” The Observer reached out to Hough athletic director Derek Butler and principal David Farley for comment. Neither responded. Miner said there is no current investigation ongoing at the school, despite a claim made via email to The Observer earlier this week. That claim was forwarded to Hough and CMS officials. “As appropriate,” Miner said, “the school has taken proactive steps to verify residency information and ensure compliance with all applicable requirements. The questions raised in the recent correspondence are not supported by the information available to the school. Further, CMS is not aware

North Carolina voted out potentially 58 years of experience. What does that mean?

North Carolina voters decimated their current congressional delegation, electing at least seven new members to the next Congress, and potentially losing 58 years of collective experience. “Congress runs on seniority, and we just lost a lot of seniority from the North Carolina congressional delegation,” said Chris Cooper, a political science professor from Western Carolina University. From the best committee assignments to pork projects to offices on the Hill, losing senior members could have ripple effects for North Carolinians. But all is not lost. “The entire Congress runs based on a combination of majority party control and seniority,” Cooper said. “So North Carolina will once again be aligned with the majority.” North Carolina chose to swap seven House Republicans for seven House Democrats, as the left-leaning party took control of both chambers. “The majority of North Carolina’s congressional delegation will once again be aligned with the majority party control, but in terms of seniority, we will be much lower down the list,” Cooper said. “Sometimes freshmen can get impressive committee assignments. (Rep.) Chuck Edwards ended up on Appropriations in his first term in office, so it doesn’t mean that you can’t be effective, or you can’t get a good committee assignment.

Merrick's lead narrows in NC House race after provisional votes counted

The inclusion of provisional and absentee ballots has slimmed the margin in a tight race for N.C. House District 20 ahead of the official results. New Hanover County Board of Elections counted the additional 1,036 provisional and 90 absentee ballots on Nov. 10. Democrat Tim Merrick holds the lead with 22,160 votes at 50.09% of the electorate — 81 votes ahead of Republican Dane Scalise, who holds 22,079 votes, or 49.91%. Merrick initially led by 101 votes. The results are unofficial until the county canvass on Friday, Nov. 13. The race is eligible for a recount upon request from Scalise. Following the results on election night, Scalise declined to comment on a potential recount. According to the State Board of Elections, a candidate who did not win in a non-statewide contest can demand a recount if the difference between a winning candidate and the candidate demanding the recount is 1% or less of the total votes cast in the contest. Any mandatory recounts would be completed by county boards after the county canvass and should be completed prior to the state canvass.
