By Ryan Moxon — Hough completed another shutout of a conference opponent Friday night, beating South Mecklenburg 47-0 on the road to improve to 8-0 on the season.

The Huskies led 10-0 after the first quarter and added 30 points in the second quarter on touchdown passes from Ethan Royal to Mason Pearsall-Brown and Christian Coleman, along with a rushing touchdown by Jamarion Morrison.

The Hough defense recorded its second straight first-half safety, and the Huskies led 40-0 at halftime.

Hough added its final touchdown on a 5-yard run by Morrison in the third quarter.

The defense has not allowed a point in the past four games. The last time Hough lost a regular-season game was its home opener on Aug. 23, 2024.

The Huskies face Myers Park next Friday night in their regular-season home finale.

The Mustangs defeated West Mecklenburg 47-6 on Friday night to improve to 6-2 overall and 3-0 in conference play.

Hough concludes the regular season on the road Oct. 30 against Hopewell.
