ROBERT IRBY Special to the Independent Tribune CONCORD â The only team to beat the Cannon School softball team this season is the Charlotte Christian Knights, and they did so again Friday, as the Cougars fell, 8-1, in Game 1 of the NCISAA 4A championship. The Cougars (16-2) will need to win both remaining potential matchups Saturday in order to be champions. If they win Game 2 Saturday at noon, they will push the series to a decisive Game 3 â to be played immediately after Game 2 â to determine who will wear the N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association crown. The Knights (16-1) got the best of their conference rival from Charlotte Independent Schools Athletic Association for the second time this season behind a stellar performance from pitcher Wynne Gore.
