Good start for Iredell football

It couldn't have gone any better for Iredell County on opening night.

South and North Iredell played a close-until-the-end game, and three other county schools picked up victories.

South handed North a 21-10 loss after scoring a touchdown in the final few minutes to pull away, which was a good start to the Ed Masterton era.

Mooresville went on the road and beat a very good - albeit understaffed - Bandys squad. The Blue Devils' 22-0 win was a bit of payback from last year's 35-7 loss, and it was an important win. I think they still would have won even if Bandys' stud running back Lequan McCorkle was playing (he sat with an injury).

West Iredell running back Bobby Morrison ran for a school-record 274 yards on only 16 carries and the Warriors pasted Forbush 51-0.

And Lake Norman, a 1-10 team last season, picked up a 28-13 win over a decent North Lincoln squad.

Only three county teams play this week when Lake Norman visits South Iredell and Statesville travels to 3A power Hickory.
