<p>Week 4 of the high school football season is loaded with big matchups across the Carolinas, and several standouts are primed to take center stage. From dominant linebacker who control the run attack to explosive skill players capable of flipping a game in one play, these are the athletes expected to be difference-makers when the lights come on Friday night.</p>
