Lake Norman 9-0 at Mooresville 5-4

RaceCityBlueDevil06 · Oct 24, 2026

It’s the undefeated streak, vs the conference championship streak. Lake Norman comes in having rolled to a 9-0 record, and after a slow start (vs some elite teams) the Blue Devils have rattled off 5 straight wins to put themselves within reach of winning their 5th straight conference championship.

this will be on hell of a QB duel between Kraft and Michalak. And for the first time, maybe ever, Lake Norman comes into a game at The Popp as a heavy favorite.

expect a standing room only crowd here… should be a wild environment

Yall be throwing the word elite around too easily.
Hough, Grimsley, and Weddington are the only actual elite teams, currently.

Look at their schedule… they literally played 2 of the 3 teams you named. I would say they played the best half of football against hough than any other team that’s in NC has.

Literally exactly what I said lol

RaceCityBlueDevil06 · Oct 24, 2026

When your combined non conference opponents record is like 38-8…. That can be called a fairly elite schedule.

Conference is a different story. lol. But that’s outta our hand

Vik-Val 86 · Oct 24, 2026

My honest take on this game. Its going to be a showdown. On paper I say Lake Norman is favorite by 7 or so. But it’s two rivals going at it. Throw out the record books. Mooresville will have home field advantage and crowd and noise to go with it. Lake Norman will bring a huge crowd. I could be wrong but we may see the biggest crowd ever at Mooresville. I think whoever makes the least mistakes will win it. My prediction. Lake Norman wins by 3. But wouldn’t surprise me to see Mooresville pull out the win. Get there early if you plan on going,

Lake Norman will be the heavy favorites, as they should be. The burden is on us to prove that we belong in the conversation with them. Just gotta put in the work this week

I am a Lake Norman fan and want them to win. But for that to happen they will have to play a lot, a whole lot, better than they did against Davie County. The defense came out to play from the start, but I cannot say the same for the offense.

Two really good QB's no doubt, Craft is just outstanding, LN receivers are very, very good, LN Defense is really tough.
But their running backs need openings, they are not power backs.

I have not seen Mooresville, but they have shown an explosive offense of late.

I want to give the nod to Lake Norman, but after watching them at Davie County, I am not sure they can out score Mooresville.
ON THE OTHER HAND, LN defense might just be good enough to save the day.

Vik-Val 86 · Oct 24, 2026

Something tells me this game might be somewhat surprising. If they were playing at LN I think I would be more high up on LN winning but that Mooresville crowd and atmosphere could help boost them playing better than some may think. As of now I could see this game being decided by 3. I’m not sure what game is pick for game of the week on WCCB 18 but I think this game could be easy pick as game of the week.

I wouldn't use the term heavy favorites.

Heavy favorites in the sense the entire media world will pick them to win.

and rightfully so, they’ve earned their shine this season. If I looked at it objectively, the two biggest advantages I think LN has is their defense is better than ours, and they commit far less turnovers on the year than we have. They don’t beat themselves generally.
I do really like our 3 headed WR attack. But if we start turning it over and giving LN extra possessions, we will never hold up defensively.

I’ll be interested in seeing what kind of crowd comes across town to the game from LKN. The last few times at MVL I was pretty surprised LN didn’t bring enough ppl to fill up the away side.

Oddly enough they’ve never aired a game from Joe Popp. I’m not sure with the way it’s all set up if they can logistically actually do a broadcast from there.

I looked at their schedule and youre proving my point for me. elite teams win those games not lose them.

Vik-Val 86 · Oct 30, 2026

Game day. Do we have any preditions. I think possibly this game could be decided between 1-10 points in Lake Norman’s favor. However, a Mooresville win would not surprise me.

Mr.Blue&Gray · Oct 30, 2026

Can LKN get revenge from last year heartbreaking loss to Mooresville 365 days ago?

Or could Mooresville pull of another repeat from last year. Except this year the game will be played at Mooresville.

It Could be either below

Mooresville 28
LKN 27

LKN 54
Mooresville 14

Tonight will be tonight.

Vik-Val 86 · Oct 30, 2026

Simmons has Lake Norman by 15

Well even though I said Lake Norman would win between 1-10 points I guess I will take the crow. lol. Didn’t see this blowout coming like this

whitleyre · Oct 30, 2026

Think 56 to 17 surprised almost everybody!!!!
Kaden Craft had to have moved up on every body's QB rating list with tonight's performance. He showed up really big time in the biggest game of the year so far for Lake Norman. Mooresville covered the receivers, so he ran. Mooresville tried to stop his running, so he beat them to death with his passing.

whitleyre · Oct 30, 2026

I counted Craft having 5 touchdown passes for Lake Norman. Real good receivers and a great defensive effort really stand out.

Mooresville, yikes

RaceCityBlueDevil06 · Oct 30, 2026

Belt to fkn a$$. That was a joke. Horrific game plan. Horrific execution. Just embarrassing

they beat us down worse, way worse, than what Hough did to us. We at least competed in that game…. lake beat us so bad we just flat quit.

and the belt still never stopped lol.

The game ended when we decided to kick a FG, down 15-7, from the 2 damn yard line. That’s a come SCARED coaching and it was all wraps after that.

Lake Norman 9-0 at Mooresville 5-4
