Lake Norman is led by their all everything quarterback, Josh Ledowski.
Several may have said it, but I believe Lou Holtz once said about his team that they were beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. He just hoped it wasn't an oncoming train. Lake Norman is seeing light at the end of their tunnel, in their most successful season. They are only one game away from the state title game. They see light. Unfortunately, I'm hearing a train whistle. Mallard Creek by 18
