As the 2024 season kicks off, anticipation swirls around who’s going to come out on top this year. Returning champs Cardinal Gibbons (NCHSAA 4A), Lake Norman Charter ( 2x NCHSAA 1/2/3A), Cannon School (NCISAA D1), and Cape Fear Academy (NCISAA D2) stand out as they seek to defend their hard-earned championships from the previous year.
However, a new year means new challenges and players. Which team will have veterans take new leadership roles or have young guns step up? Only time will tell as the season kicks into full gear this week!
