West Charlotte (14-5, 6-2 I-Meck 4A) is the only North Carolina team to beat North Meck (16-2, 7-1) this year. Another win and the Lions would be tied for first place and own atiebreaker over the Vikings. It's a must-win for both teams.

Hopewell girls at Hough, Tuesday, 6:15 p.m.: Hopewell (11-6, 7-1 I-Meck 4A) and Hough (11-6, 7-1) share identicalrecords and are tied for first place in the conference, one game ahead of Mallard Creek (13-3, 6-2). Hough has won five straight games.
