Lake Norman soccer pushes forward

I hadn't seen Lake Norman soccer all season before last night, but heard from other county players and coaches that the Wildcats were on a different level from everyone else

I saw the scores roll in - 12-0 win over North Iredell, 10-0 win over West Iredell - but wondered how many of those goals came not necessarily on sheer talent, but other players in awe of the Lake Norman "mystique."

Consider me sold.

Lake Norman defeated Southwest Guilford 2-0 last night in a game that wasn't even close. The Wildcats played incredible soccer for 80 full minutes.

They chased down loose balls, won matchups and dominated the Cowboys (seriously, it’s Cowboys) physically.

They’re now one of eight total teams remaining in the 3A soccer playoffs, and one of the final four in the Western Regional.

They’re three games away from winning a state championship the same year the boys’ team won a title in the fall.

And after talking to the players and coaches after the game last night, I think they have a good shot to get it.

The blog entry to which you are responding was actually written after last year's playoff game. I have not seen Lake Norman's soccer team in the playoffs this year.
