North Lenoir wins IF:

The Hawks have a very deep lineup of hitters. One through nine can hit the ball. Way to many to name on key players to include all of the batters. North Lenoir wins through squaring the ball up and making something happen. Hawks defense must eliminate mental errors and play every inning like the first inning.

Bartlett Yancey wins IF:

This is a very tough matchup for Bartlett Yancey. For B-Yancey to win they must control North Lenoir bats.
