Actually Burke beat Pineville and advances to play Mint Hill. Anyone know what the game time may be this evening?

I would guess it's probably 7:00. All games are unless there is a doubleheader being played.

I don't know why I had Mint Hill on the brain. Anyway, good win for Burke. Sounds like they had some kids really step up last night.

Maybe because both are in the Charlotte area. I get them confused, too. Sometimes, I get Maiden and Newton, confused, but I just blame it on old age.
