*Wonders Open 2024 Season At West Rowan, What can Fans Expect?*
This Friday night the A.L. Brown Wonders will kickoff their 97th season of Football as they travel to Mt Ulla to take on the Falcons of West Rowan. It will be the first of back to back away games to start the 2024 campaign.
The Wonders will face their old South Piedmont Conference foe for the 20th time in a history that dates back to 1965. Kannapolis Football has been highly successful against the Rowan County foe and hold a commanding 18-1 overall series record, having outscored their counterpart over the last nineteen games 627-245.
The 2024 Wonders will be under the charge of 2nd year Head Coach Justin Hardin who played in three of those contests when he was a QB for the Wonders in the late nineties. Last year Coach Hardin's Wonders turned in a 5-5 regular season campaign, but after a first round playoff loss to Mooresville, the Wonders dropped to 5-6 making it the first losing season on record since 1977.
Honestly, little if anything is readily known about this 2024 edition of the Wonders. Two year defensive standout and Golden Helmet award winner in 2023, Chaz Knox transferred to Mallard Creek this year and will be playing his senior season with the Mavericks, which is a big loss on the defensive side of the ball for the Wonders.
After last week's scrimmage with Kings Mountain and J.M. Robinson, lots of questions abound for Wonder fans. The first part of the 2024 season will see the Wonders facing old SPC 3A opponents in West Rowan, Northwest Cabarrus, and South Rowan, along with one idle week before they begin GM4A Conference play on September 20th at Memorial Stadium against Hickory Ridge.
Last year the Wonders battled to a 38-27 victory over the Falcons at Memorial Stadium, but I believe this Friday night with the Wonders being as untested as they are, I expect they will get a formidable challenge to open the season.

Lots of questions around the Wonders early on. Hopefully we’ll know more after Friday! I think the falcons take the early season victory 38-28.
