No. 4 East Lincoln rode a strong performance from its dominant defense and got just enough on offense to top No. 11 South Point 14-7 on Friday and secure its spot in the N.C. High School Athletic Association 3A title game. Christopher Daley II and Ben Cutter both scored rushing touchdowns deep in the red zone to help power the Mustangs to their first title game since 2014 and fourth overall as a program.
