CONCORD â Led by a stellar performance from pitcher Sidney Rose, the Cannon School softball team advanced to the NCISAA championship series Tuesday with an 8-3 home victory over North Raleigh Christian Academy.
The No. 1-seeded Cougars (16-1) will play host to No. 2-seeded Charlotte Christian for the N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association 4A crown on Friday and Saturday in a best-of-3 series. Cannon defeated Charlotte Christian just last week to win the conference title.
