Friday’s Key Games

No. 5 South Meck (15-3, 6-1 SoMeck) at No. 1 Ardrey Kell girls (18-1, 8-0), 6 p.m.: It’s still really early but this game feels like it could decide the league title. Ardrey Kell has won 15 straight games and could get a commanding two-game conference lead – or South Meck could upset the No. 1 ranked team in the Sweet 16 and tie for first.

Myers Park (13-6, 6-3 Southwestern 4A) at No. 4 Butler (16-2, 6-2), 7:30 p.m.: Mustangs lost a big game with Rocky River (13-4, 6-2) Tuesday and has a must-win game Friday. But so does Butler, which needs to stay within range of Independence (18-1, 9-0) to have a chance at a league title.

Concord (10-9, 3-2 South Piedmont 3A) at No. 3 Concord Cox Mill (16-3, 5-0), 7:30 p.m.: Concord beat rival Kannapolis Brown on a buzzer-beater Wednesday and hopes to continue its two-game win streak Friday. Cox Mill, which has won five straight games, has a two-game lead over Concord and Northwest Cabarrus (9-8, 3-2) in the conference.
