Good morning, Huntersville.

The Panthers re-signed longtime right tackle Taylor Moton to a two-year contract extension that pays him $44 million with $40 million guaranteed and keeps him on the team through 2027.

Moton, known for playing nearly every game and for his strong bond with the team, expressed his deep commitment to Carolina—his deal helps keep the starting offensive line intact.

East Lincoln's senior quarterback Grant Lawless and junior tight end Jaxon Dollar showed strong potential in the final two games of Dollar’s sophomore season, and they are preparing for a 2025 campaign aimed at winning a state championship—Lawless plans to lead his team while Dollar, a consensus four-star recruit, steps into a breakout role.
