North Carolina Football Association (NCFA)

Charlotte has looked pretty unbeatable, especially their defense.  The last few weeks their offense has looked much improved especially their running game, but this week Gastonia's defense completely dominated the game and their offense picked and picked and picked at the Charlotte defense until it finally fell apart.  After making a big trade to get rid of Darrel Sparks this week and put their season in the hands of Harold Brooks he delivered with a great game, but it was the Pirates' defense that dominated this game completely taking away any hopes of running the ball and amassing 11 sacks.  Brooks was only sacked 3 times by the sack happy Clippers and though his line played great a lot of the credit has to go to Brooks for being quick to dump the ball out of bounds rather than take the sack.  It is also very important to note the game played by James Carter.  He racked up yards play after play keeping pressure off of Brooks and allowing the passing game to take advantage when they could.  This was almost a perfect game played by Gastonia.  They've had a few games like this so far this season, but have not been consistent.  They'll need consistency in the second half if they want to return to the playoffs.
