I figured losing all but one of its starting defenders -- not to mention the county player of the year -- would be too much for Lake Norman's boys soccer team to overcome in its quest to win another state championship.
I think I'm going to be wrong. Big time.
The Wildcats are playing as crisp as they did last season, when they captured the N.C. High School Athletic Association 3A state title and completed a perfect 27-0 season.
The win streak is 39 games following Monday's 3-1 victory over Northwest Cabarrus which decided who took over first place outright in the North Piedmont Conference.
Top-ranked Lake Norman is at second-ranked Charlotte Catholic on Thursday. If the Wildcats triumph in that affair, I say Iredell County is destined to have its first back-to-back NCHSAA state champion since the Statesville girls tennis team won in 1999 and repeated in 2000.
