CONCORD â The Cannon School softball teamâs bid for an undefeated season came to an end Tuesday when the Cougars fell at home to Charlotte Christian, 14-4.
For Cannon (13-1 overall, 8-1 NCISAA Charlotte Conference), not only does this result end its pursuit of perfection; the Cougars could have clinched the league title with a win.
Brie Biddle makes the tag for Cannon. Joan Moore/Special to The Independent Tribune.
Instead, their regular-season finale at home against Matthews Covenant Day on Thursday will likely be for just a share of the title with Charlotte Christian (12-1, 6-1 CC). The Cougarsâ only chance of winning the outright title is if they defeat Covenant Day while Charlotte Christian loses its final game against Charlotte Latin.

SAIPAN, CNMI (Marianas Variety, Oct. 10) – The Senate, on Rota Thursday, passed a measure that will allow the cash-strapped government to stop paying its employees for the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands’ 14 official holidays. The move could save about US$7 million annually.
The vote was five in favor and three against.
Senate Vice President Pete P. Reyes, Ind.-Saipan; Sen. Paul A. Manglona, R-Rota; and Sen. Luis P. Crisostimo, D-Saipan, voted no.
Sen. Maria Frica Pangelinan, D-Saipan, was excused.
Offered by Senate President Joseph M. Mendiola, Covenant-Tinian, Senate Bill 15-102 now goes to the House, which is scheduled to hold a session this afternoon.
