Chambers overcomes slow start to survive West Charlotte 25-20 in NCHSAA 8A second round

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - The rematch between Chambers and West Charlotte went a little different than the first matchup between the two Queen City powerhouses.

The Cougars beat the Lions 35-7 in the regular season, but quickly found themselves down 13-0 at home in the second quarter Friday night.

Chambers would score before halftime to make it a 13-7 game going into the locker room, and from there would outscore West Charlotte 18-7 the rest of the way to come out with a 25-20 win.

Next up, Chambers (10-1) will get another rematch against Mallard Creek in the third round. The Mavericks handed the Cougars their only loss in the final week of the regular season.
