A lot to play for this week. A Hickory Ridge win gives them the conference outright. A HR loss and LKN win and we have a tie at the top.

At the same time, Lake Norman host city rival Mooresville in a battle for the 2 spot in the GM4! A win will lock Mooresville in the playoffs, and a loss puts the Blue Devils squarely on the bubble potentially.

so here we go:

South Iredell (2-7, 1-4) at Cox Mill (4-5,1-4)

A game the chargers MUST have to even put them in the discussion for one of the final wildcard spots. South comes in averaging about 160 rushing yards a game, while passing for just over 100. Cox Mill gave Hickory Ridge all they wanted last week, holding a 17-7 lead at one point. The chargers will lean on their balanced attack, and control the tempo. I expect this game to be closer than some may think
Cox Mill 20 South Iredell 14

Hickory Ridge (7-2,5-0) at West Cabarrus (3-6,2-3)

Hickory Ridge will look to start fast like they have done all season long. The Bulls average 17 a game in the first quarter alone, and average well over 300 yards a game total. Bulls balanced attack is lead by dual threat QB Alex Bentley, who in all honesty reminds me A LOT of Josh Ladowski from a few years ago at lake Norman. West Cabarrus is coming in off a big loss on the road at Hough, and will look to rebound vs their county rival. On offense the Wolverines have a ton of speed…. Hopper is an absolute burner and has big play ability. But penalties have been a bit of an issue, and they may have a hard time establishing the run vs a stout Bulls front 7.
Hickory Ridge 41 West Cabarrus 17


Concord (6-2) at AL Brown (4-5)

The bell game… not a lot needs to be said here. AL Brown looks for 7 straight over the Spiders. Concord, fresh off a SPC title, will look to end the streak and carry the momentum into a playoff run!
AL Brown 23 Concord 20

Mooresville (5-4,4-1) at Lake Norman (7-2, 4-1)

Arguably the biggest game in the league with the most riding on it. Playoff implications galore here. As stated before, winner gets the 2 spot from the GM4. But then you factor in the rivalry here? This is shaping up to be one of the most epic versions of this rivalry yet. Can LKN stop the big play Blue Devil offense? Can the Blue Devils stop the triple option the Wildcats run? Two very contrasting styles… I think it could come down to whoever has the ball last! But I think y’all know who I’m picking here.
Mooresville 28 Lake Norman 27

Pretty good picks Devil06. Just a stab guess for me. I will take Cox Mill 28 South Iredell 20
Hickory Ridge 42 West Cabarrus 20
Tough call here but I think AL Brown will rebound with a chip on their shoulder. AL Brown 27 Concord 21
Mooresville 28 Lake Norman 24

Jacks, who you got winning Friday night.
i think the Kann coaches jump on one area, passing deep even with the new QB, concord will setup to stop the run with him being more athletic, really see it either kann by 13 or so or concord in a tight one. Concord try's to limited the other team to only a few possession's with there ball control run, only 4 passes against west and o the week before. i think West had the ball 6 times, spiders kept the ball from 5mins in the 3Q to about 6min left in game, held west to 2 FG's first half. Kann 26-13 maybe, is my total guess

last i found was concord had ball at midfield at start of 4Q, not surprised at the score with only 16 players dressed, i though they would just move everyone up but who knows.

Is 16 players all they have or did they have some injuries. 90% of the kannapolis JV’s are Freshmen.

i believe they started the yr with 19-20, down to 17 the last few weeks, i saw a few undressed, not 100% sure but i think they are mostly Fr, with the Var only having 39 players i got to believe all the Sophs were already up at the start of the yr.

Sounds like both teams are in the same position with the JV team.

I heard QB for Concord got hit and was hurt with 7:07 left. The player had to be transport in Ambulance and after 12 min delay game was called. Prayers. I’m hoping speedy recovery for this young man

We’ve lost more yards off of snaps over the QBs head than we have actually gained on offense lol

You were right about that back up quarterback if we had him all year we may only have only Three losses. He does look pretty good.

Kid is a great fit for that offense, just needs the reps. His only knock last week was trying to do too much at one time… but the athleticism is off the charts

South Iredell would lose a heart breaker in OT to Cox Mill 29-22. Good effort for South. Their season is done but I feel like with a bulk of players coming back next season if healthy they will be a lot better team. This year with injuries and early season covid that kept players out had put a damper on the team. Best of luck to the rest of the teams going forward in the playoffs.
