Mega matchup this evening with Myers Park at Carmel Christian. Should be a packed house. This is one of those games. Man I would like to be at this one. Game time start 7:30 this evening 1/14.
I will add. Both teams are blessed with some height.
Grimsley’s last 5 wins:26, 30, 31, 35 and 36 point margins. Yesterday, they plastered Parkland 78-28. 2nd half of Metro 4-A Conference play starts this week. Football players are now in basketball shape.
Looking at Cox Mill warming up, My thoughts was LN will get beat in this game. Started out Cox Mill took a small lead but was only up by 1 end of 1st. And about 7 at the half. . Then in the 3rd Cox Mill built up a 15 point lead. Then LN came back and tied it at 57 end of 3rd. Then it was back n forth until about mid 4th then Cox Mill started building a lead again. LN could never recover. LN missed some key shots, that had the shots would have fell in LN would had at chance winning. I feel like next time they play at LN, LN can have a chance of winning. Cox Mill can be beat but LN will have to play at their best.. Cox Mill looks very talented with some height. They also could be the best team in the conference as well.
12-2 vs 13-2
Watch out for Richmond County and Paul Mcneil, saw them just blow out
Scotland tonight. A Reasonably close10 pt half lead and just 9 for Mcneil turned into over 30 pt lead and over 30 for Mcneil by the end of the 3rd. I believe he finished with 35 leaving around the 5 minute mark of 4th..
Big game for tonight. 12-7 Cox Mill will be at home to take on 11-4 West Cabarrus. Game date and time 1/24 at 7:30. Both teams are talented and should be a good one.
The show must go on and did at Lake Norman against the Less than Wonders of AL Brown.
Half time score was the Show 31 to 9. End of 3rd it was 53 to 9. ( it might have been 53 to 12, not positive) I think AL Brown finally got 20 points against the 3 JV players and 2 reserves for LN in the fourth qt.
Lake Norman is really maturing as a team and the aggressive style of defense will just make it very hard for any team except the very best.
I did find out that West Cabarrus defeated LN in the JV game 47-45. This would give LN JV boys a 11-2 (6-2) record. But not sure about how the JV girls game turned out.
The jv boys are good, however, the jv girls...well.. lets just say the Coach has great patience and he has handling each and every one of the thousands of opportunities with great pose and understanding.
