Mooresville, LN face football foes

Something has to give for both the varsity football teams from Mooresville and Lake Norman tonight.

When both resume their respective schedules, each will be looking to hopefully favorably break existing ties with their foes that currently exist within the North Piedmont Conference standings.

Of the two, the game involving Mooresville’s Blue Devils may understandably occupy top billing.

Vikings pound ball down the stretch to beat Wildcats

South Iredell’s offense was a lot of things on Friday.
