South Iredell took down West Lincoln 69-15 last week, the largest margin of any game. Lachaston Smith threw for 42 yards and one touchdown and ran for 191 yards in the win.

Thanks to the talents of Davin King and Rasheed Degree South Iredell has been able to do all sorts of things on offense.

A big matchup in the league this week will be when Newton-Conover takes on Bandys. Brint Russell's team is currently in second, while the Trojans are in fourth.
Bandys made the biggest jump in the national rankings this week, rising to 4,965 from 5,360. The improvement was the result of 34-7 victory over East Burke last week.
