A Season-Best Effort from Mozes Morris Leads Lake Norman over Cox Mill
Lake Norman was led to victory by Mozes Morris, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Morris rushed for 142 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he has now rushed for 111 or more in the last three games he's played.
This season, Morris has run in 8 touchdowns while averaging 96.4 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after eight games last season, he had four rushing touchdowns.

South Iredell Gets a Boost from Johnson in 38-17 Victory
South Iredell found a leader in Tyler Johnson as the team took down A.L. Brown on Friday. Johnson turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 143 yards and three touchdowns, while also rushing for 60 yards on only seven carries. South Iredell is undefeated when Johnson posts three or more passing touchdowns, but 0-3 otherwise.
Johnson is probably looking forward to his next game, a home matchup against Lake Norman on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Johnson saw the Wildcats), he rushed for 140 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries.
