Weddington rolled to a 42-0 shutout at Sun Valley on Friday, Sept. 25, pushing the Warriors to 6-0 on the season.
The conference road win in Monroe was Weddington's second straight blowout in league play. The Warriors opened conference action with a 37-7 win over Charlotte Catholic on Sept. 18 and have now outscored their first two league opponents 79-7.
The shutout was the first of the year for Weddington's defense, which had allowed at least seven points in every prior game. On the season, the Warriors have outscored all six opponents 229-66, according to MaxPreps, which ranks Weddington No. 2 in North Carolina.
