The Cannon (Concord, NC) varsity football team will open its 2025-26 season with a highly anticipated home non-conference matchup against Cardinal Newman (Columbia, SC) on Friday, August 15, at 7:00 p.m.

Both teams enter the contest with clean slates, looking to set the tone for the new season. Cannon comes in with an overall record of 0-0, while Cardinal Newman also begins the year winless at 0-0.

Cardinal Newman, ranked nationally at 6,612 and holding the 130th spot in South Carolina’s Class 4, will be eager to make an early statement on the road. The team has yet to play any games at home or away, so this matchup marks their first test of the season.

Cannon, hosting the game on its home turf, is equally determined to start the season strong. With both teams undefeated in their records so far, this opening game is a clean slate opportunity to gain momentum heading into league and non-league play.

With no previous head-to-head meetings or common opponents to reference, the game promises to be a fresh matchup, full of potential surprises. Fans can expect a competitive contest as both squads look to make their mark in the early season standings.

Kickoff is set for 7:00 p.m. at Cannon’s home field. It’s the first chance for both teams to translate preseason preparation into on-field results and start the 2025-26 season on a winning note.
