Vikings roll past Mooresville, lead I-Meck standings

MOORESVILLE — Though his team may not know the weight his comments carry, in regards to the North Meck High basketball teams of the past, Duane Lewis paid his Vikings a high compliment Tuesday night, after a 67-51 win at Mooresville.

Of the 17 games remaining on Da5vidson College's basketball schedule, 16 are within the Southern Conference, including Thursday's game at UNC Greensboro and Saturday's home game against Georgia Southern, which has been moved to 3 p.m.

That means it's crunch time for a Wildcats team that is 8-4 overall (2-0 SoCon) through last Thursday's 75-70 win over Penn.

 Is there room for improvement? Always.

 But at this juncture of the season, Hough High wrestling coach Tripp Rogers is pleased with what he's seen from his Huskies.

While his search continues for a consistent No. 2 scorer behind all-star point guard Shivaughn Wiggins, North Meck High basketball coach Duane Lewis will settle for teamwork, sound defense and victories.

Goalkeeper Jaron Bradley of Hough High has committed to play college soccer at UNC Asheville, Huskies coach David Smith said this week.

Bradley posted four shutouts this fall, in his first season at Hough after attending North Meck. Bradley earned all-state recognition from the state's soccer coaches, along with teammates Santiago Patino and Nathaniel Goodwin.

Bradley is the third Hough boys' soccer player to commit to a Division I college, joining Patino and Goodwin, who are bound for UNC Wilmington.
