Northwest Cabarrus came out on top in a nail-biter against Lake Norman Charter in their previous meeting back in March, sneaking past 2-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Trojans since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
