Mozes Morris Delivers Best Effort of Season
Sadly, Mozes Morris posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Lake Norman over West Cabarrus on Friday. 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 was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 66 yards.
If the past is any indication, Morris could be in store for another big game when he takes on Hickory Ridge on Friday. Morris rushed for 135 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Ragin' Bulls duked it out back in October of 2023.
