Charlotte, NC – Last night the Fort Mill High School varsity football team kicked off their season with an away game at Charlotte’s newest magnet school – Ballantyne Ridge High School. The final score was a 56-0 shut out victory for the visiting Yellow Jackets. The first of two potential Fort Mill touchdowns were called back due to penalties before Josef Anderson was finally able to punch one in that stood. A Ballantyne miscue on the subsequent kickoff gave the ball back to the Yellow Jackets on their opponent’s 10 yard line. Just short of 10 minutes into the game and Fort Mill was up 14-0. By half it was 42-0. Anderson finished the game with two touchdowns while wide receiver Tanner Mays added two of his own. The Jackets opened the second half with a change in the lineup and another score. Up next for the team is a home game this coming Friday against the Chester Cyclones. (All photos by Chris Coffee.)
