The battle for that second spot really heats up this week.
West Cabarrus (3-5, 2-3) at #1 Hough (8-0, 5-0)
The Wolverines have a brutal end to their schedule… Mooresville last week, Hough this week, Hickory Ridge next week. The Wolverines have a lot of speed and athektion the outside, and a good looking QB with a big arm. They were beating us with the deep ball in the first, getting behind us in man to man. Made a couple adjustments and it was all Mooresville from the second quarter on. Their best player was injured late in the game, not sure of the severity so idk if he will go this week. If not, it will make an uphill challenge even tougher facing one of the best defensive units in the area. Hough big here
Hough 48 West Cabarrus 10
Cox Mill (4-4, 1-3) at Hickory Ridge (6-2-4-0)
Chargers come in off of a hard fought 15-7 loss to Lake Norman, the Bulls come in off a bye week. Cox Mill is a hard team to figure out.. they have the ability to play with teams like Lake Norman, HR.. heck they have a good win over York in SC. But they have a real tendency to cost themselves with penalties. Hickory Ridge is the most complete team in the GM4… big effective OL, big time WRs, a big Time QB that has wheels, and a fast and disciplined defense. I don’t expect Cox Mill to be able to keep pace with the Bulls here.
Hickory Ridge 49 Cox Mill 10
Lake Norman (6-2, 3-1) at South Iredell (2-6, 1-3)
We head to troutman for a tradition Iredell County Rivalry game. Wildcats come in off of a big 15-7 road win at Cox Mill, South comes in off of a beat down on the road at AL Brown. Everyone knows what LKN is, they are disciplined, they don’t make mistakes, they chew up the clock, and they are aggressive with onside kicks and going for it in 4th to create extra possessions. South has one of the best RBs in the conference, but lacks depth and size. The Vikings average less than 100 yards a game passing. They have also struggled with keeping guys healthy throughout the year. I think this game could be closer than some may think, LKN isn’t an explosive offense, and their style of play, of South can keep LKN from quick plays, will keep the game close. It will come down to can South consistently move the ball on LKN?
Lake Norman 21 South Iredell 16
AL Brown (4-4, 1-3) at Mooresville (4-4, 3-1)
Easily the game of the week in the conference as ALB and MHS renew their rivalry. First meeting since 2019, and first conference meetings since around 2008 I think. The Wonders come in off a blow out win over South, and Mooresville comes in off of a dominant 50-14 win over West Cabarrus. AL Browns front 7 will give Mooresville fits, big, athletic LBs will be able to range and cover sideline to sideline. Mooresville has really played well since conference play has began. Played HR really tough and ran out of steam. And the last 3 weeks the Blue Devil offense has exploded following the change at QB (due to injury). Blue Devils will try to establish the run with Howell but they have 2 very reliable WRs outside if needed. This is another game I can see being much closer than people may think
