MOUNT HOLLY — North Rowan’s football team won 30-21 at Mountain Island Charter on Thursday to close the regular season.

It was a major road victory for the Cavaliers (6-4, 6-1) and clinched a share of the Yadkin Valley Conference title, an eight-team league that includes teams from three different classifications.

North Stanly (8-1, 5-1) and South Stanly (7-2, 5-1) have league games on Friday and can still tie the Cavaliers for first. North Stanly isn’t expected to have any trouble against Union Academy. South Stanly may be challenged at Albemarle. The Bulldogs gave North Rowan a tough game last week.
