7 Match-Ups to Watch at the NCHSAA Regionals Tomorrow!

Jason Creasy

At this point in the season Cameron Ponder and Connor Lane have been the top two individuals in NC, based off that neither have lost to anyone else from North Carolina this season.  These boys threw down an epic battle last season at the NCHSAA 4A 3200 where Lane was able to hold off Ponder in 9:06 to Ponder's 9:09.  This might be the biggest matchup of the season, if they weren't going to match-up once again at the NCHSAA State Championships. Who will be crowned the king of the 4A Midwest?


Cameron Ponder (Mt. Tabor)                                              Connor Lane (Cardinal Gibbons)
