Mooresville was led to victory by Jamari Farmer, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Farmer picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made 13 total tackles (4.0 for loss).

A Season-Best Performance from Mozes Morris Leads Lake Norman over West Cabarrus
Lake Norman came up short on Friday despite Mozes Morris delivering his best game to date. Morris rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries. The performance marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023. He got the majority of those rushing yards when he took off on a run that went for an incredible 66 yards.
Morris and Lake Norman will have a little extra prep time after the defeat as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Cox Mill at 7:00 p.m. on October 18th. The contest will pit Morris up against the Chargers' star running back Caylen Hall. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
