North Carolina High School To Be Featured On The Today Show

Some well-deserved national attention is coming to one local North Carolina high school this weekend. Mallard Creek High School in Charlotte North Carolina is scheduled to be featured on the Today Show this Friday. Friday marks the homecoming game for historically one of the best football teams in the state, and WCNC reports that NBC's Today will be on-site to highlight the school ahead of the game. It will be a part of the "Friday Morning Lights" segment. The segment will air around 7:50 a.m. on WCNC Charlotte so make sure to tune in. The homecoming matchup will feature Mallard Creek and North Meck on Friday night at 7 p.m. Both teams currently have a 2-3 record for the season. The school has produced multiple NFL players including Jalen Samuels, Thaddeus Moss, Jordan Davis, DJ Humphries, and Marquise Williams. Schools can apply for the chance to be featured on the weekly Today segment online. What a fun and exciting memory not only for the players but for the entire school. Some of my favorite high school moments revolve around football and the excitement surrounding big games. Good luck to the Mallard Creek High School football team this Friday night! And we can't wait to see them represent Charlotte and the state of North Carolina on the Today show!
