The roots of Carolina Preps go back to 1999 with the start of NCHSFootball.com, one of the pioneer websites providing high school football coverage on the internet in North Carolina.  In September of 2007, former football coach and prep football insider Chris Hughes rebranded the site as CarolinaPreps.com.  Formerly part of the Scout.com and Fox Sports network, Carolina Preps made its name as an independent source for high school football news and information.  Being independent helps make our coverage more versatile and unique compared to other affiliated outlets.  In the spring of 2020, CarolinaPreps.com forged an alliance with longtime rival NCPreps.com of the Rivals Network.
