Dear
@NCHSAA
, today I saw the PERFECT place to hold a state championship high school football game or two.
Jerry Richardson Stadium on the campus of Charlotte's 49ers seats about 15,000, has a great turf field and all the amenities needed.
Come on down.

Ok,
@CharlotteMBB
fans. You complained all year last year and left early when the team would be getting blown out, but then when they are beating a team by 30 you still leave early. Stay and support your team, for crying out loud!
Well

@CharlotteMBB
wins 76-66 over Georgia. Lots of things to takeaway from this game. I’ll be working on a takeaways article shortly. 👍
Some sources have indicated that there has been interest shown by
@MuggsyBogues
in the
@CharlotteMBB
head coaching vacancy.
I’m told that the interest is mutual as well.
Per source: Lu’Cye Patterson and Isaiah Folkes plan is to return to Charlotte next year and not enter the transfer portal.
Both guards will likely pull the majority of the load in the back court next season having played the majority of the key returning minutes at that spot.

SID,
@Dom_Palumbo9

Ok Niner Nation, travel arrangements booked, hotel booked, credential confirmed, and I am ready for Frisco! Thanks to everyone who pitched in to make this trip possible! It will be so fun being able to cover the conference tournament live!
After trailing 30-10 early in the game,

The 49ers got back in the win column this past week with their first ever

More coming for

Postgame celebration spilled over into the live shot on ESPN+ after Charlotte 49ers had a huge home win over 17th-ranked FAU today.
Impressive work by both Lu’Cye Patterson and Hannah Bradey to keep their focus with all this going on. Congrats to the 49ers - a big-time win.
Niner Nation, come on! Seriously, this is the crowd to cheer on the first place
@Charlotte_WBB
team? Yes, it’s a 5 p.m. game but this is sad y’all. Need more support for our lady squad!
@cconsuegra
@CoachNWoods
😕. Nonetheless, let’s get the win!
Lu’Cye Patterson mentioned postgame that Isaiah Folks (ZAY) came in and played big minutes for the Niners yesterday against Tulsa. He was asked about his own performance but he was quick to give his teammate credit. Ron as a coach, you love to see it. 👀
Both teams did this after both contests between the two of them this season.
@ChadGrier_
and
@coachdtwhite
are both pure class. Great seasons to the both of you. It’s a shame someone had to lose that game.

49ers win 33-26 to capture their second

@thecharpost
I’m just going to put this out there, the same people who were all for
@Coach_heals
when he took the program to their first bowl and are now dissing him for a bumpy patch, just stop. This man pours his heart into coaching these kids. I see it every week how much he cares.
Before the championship game gets going, I just want to thank the
@CharlotteWBB
SID, Sean Fox! Sean has always been readily available to get me an interview with a player, get me any information I needed all season long! I appreciate what you do man. Thanks for everything! 🤙
Grant DuBose has withdrawn his name from the transfer portal leaving the option of him returning to

Mike Hill said that it is unfortunate that Will Healy had to find out of his dismissal via social media. They did not intend on that information getting out prior to meeting with him. Mike confirmed that he did tell Healy about 8 am that they would be meeting at 10 am.

fans, in honor of today being the official day the 49ers become apart of the American conference, here is an article from myself and former Ninertimes editor, Bradley Cole from back when it was initially announced.
Boise State started to mount a comeback late, but way too late.
@CharlotteMBB
win their first game of the Myrtle Beach Invitational, 54-42. The final score wasn’t indicative of how dominant the 49ers truly were tonight.

Former

tight end, Taylor Thompson, picks up an offer from James Madison. Thompson is a versatile tight end who can block and also has great hands. This would be a great get for JMU.
