Fans came in droves to Lake Norman High School on Wednesday to see Lake Norman and Mooresville wrestle for the North Piedmont 3A championship.
It was worth the price of admission. It’s doubtful you could have found better entertainment, and judging by the turnout, those in attendance sensed a special battle.
Mooresville prevailed 38-27 to clinch its third consecutive NPC title and deny Lake Norman from obtaining the program’s first.
The Blue Devils did it in front of a near-capacity crowd. Wrestling may get overlooked at times in the sports world, but not Wednesday, that's for sure. The atmosphere was raucous.
“I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Mooresville coach Ben Watson, who could be seen urging the Blue Devils contingent to get loud during crucial moments in the match.
Wrestlers from both teams worked hard to earn the right to tussle for the NPC crown in the regular-season finale. They deserved that kind of support.
