The Battle of the Lake is one of the best kept secrets in the state. Once a sleepy little mill town, the city of Mooresville has grown in part due to the growth of Lake Norman. Mooresville, a city school vs. Lake Norman has become a rivalry and the capacity crowd on Tuesday night showcased the interest the game has to the student bodies of each perspective school. In the girls game, Lake Norman came into the contest with a 17-0 record, 5-0 conference record, not to mention the No. 1 ranking in public school basketball. To put it mildly, head coach McKenzie Graham has steamrolled over the competition where they have only had one game under 12 points and that was a 67-66 win over North Mecklenburg. Against Mooresville, they won easily 76-38 and while they are the odds on favorite to contend for the NCHSAA 4A championship, they are also a team for the future.
