The most difficult task facing Davidson's opponents this year will be trying to contain the reigning Southern Conference Player of the Year.

Or rather, both of them.

Watching the Final Four together last April, the Davidson Wildcats were particularly aware of two of the teams competing for the national championship in New Orleans.

Aggressive, consistent, smart, talented and tough.

Chris Czerapowicz doesn't try to be flashy, but when a basketball player shoots from long-range with the proficiency that Czerapowicz does, it tends to result in lots of awe-inspiring reactions.

The list of accomplishments from the 2011-12 season went on and on for the Davidson women's basketball team.

No one had to tell the SouthLake Christian Eagles where they'd be going, following their latest dominant display on the gridiron. They all knew, and any bystander who didn't, soon found out.

Davidson Day and Harrells Christian opened the season against one another Aug. 17, and on Friday, the two will meet again.

After just its third full varsity football season, Lake Norman Charter hosted its first-ever postseason match-up last Friday in the 1AA state playoffs, and the Knights made sure it was an occasion to remember with a 48-0 win over Avery County.

The best football season ever for Hough High ended last weekend, without the feel-good, can't-wait-til-next-year promise that surely would have accompanied it had the Huskies not so thoroughly exceeded expectations.

The word teammate has meant a little more for the SouthLake Christian soccer team this fall. For six Eagles, it's also meant brother.
