2. The 6-foot-7, 300-pound Lake Norman junior tackle Ethan Calloway of Mooresville has a lot to think about these days. Rivals.com ranks him the No. 11 overall player in the state of North Carolina and the No. 34 tackle in the country in the class of 2024. He had gotten offers from 19 schools. According to the TheWolfpacker, one of those offers was by former NC State offensive line coach John Garrison on Oct. 9. He was able to meet new coach Garett Tujague on Jan. 20 at the Wolfpack’s Junior Day." One thing is for sure, Calloway has options. (TheWolfpacker)
3. Do you want to add a furry friend to your family and have a positive impact on the world at the same time? Consider adopting a dog, cat or other animal from a local shelter. If you're on a search for a lovable new friend, consider looking around at a local rescue agency like Lake Norman Humane, where Jazzy the dog is waiting patiently. With help from our friends at Petfinder, Patch has compiled this week’s list of animals available for adoption near you. Whether you’re looking for cuddles or companionship, one of these animals could be the perfect fit for your family. Click on any listing to learn more about a pet or to start the adoption process.
