Three first half goals for the Mustangs propelled them to their 15th win of the season, 4-1 over North Iredell. Jackson Thrap had two goals; Aidan Morrison and Helmut Rojas, one each; as East won its 15th game of the season. The Mustangs finished the regular season with a 15-4-3 record, 12-1-1 in the Western Foothills Conference. Their conference record was the same as Hickory, but the Mustangs beat the Red Tornadoes in one of their two head-to-head meetings; the other was a tie. That means East should get the better seed when the NCHSAA playoff brackets are announced Friday (Oct. 28th).
