Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Lake Lure Classical Academy will square off against Community Christian Academy at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. Community Christian Academy will have to bring their A-game into this one, as they are staring down a pretty big deficit in the MaxPreps North Carolina Rankings (they are ranked 337th, while Lake Lure Classical Academy is ranked 65th).
