Salisbury’s boys, 1-0 in the Central Carolina Conference, host West Davidson. North Rowan is at Chatham Central. South Rowan is at Ledford. Carson is at Statesville, while East Rowan hosts South Iredell.

North Hills (0-8) will be hosting one of the nation’s top prospects tonight as Lake Norman Christian (11-4) and star shooting guard Mikey Williams are scheduled to visit.
