By Mike London Salisbury Post 2026 CARSON FOOTBALL 2025 season: 5-6 overall, 3-4 South Piedmont Conference, 5th place Who beat the Cougars? Philosophy: While the Cougars employ a modern offense (a well-executed flex), the mindset is very much old school. Head coach: Lowe, a quarterback at East Rowan in his playing days, returns for his fifth season as the Cougars’ head coach. Lowe gets it, as far as the main mission for a high school coach being to use the game of football to turn out quality people. “Brown is a big ol’ boys and reminds of Danny Misenheimer when he played for East Rowan,” Lowe said.
