Reserve Dates: September 28, September 29

For the last two years Charlotte Lions march to glory was thwarted by a single team and it was HPCC on both occasion. HPCC won comfortably on the regular season match. High Point ground tend to be pretty notorious at this time of year. The early morning dew settles in pretty heavily gives the fielding first side an advantage. So, winning the toss will be crucial. It's also suggested that match be started late so the dew doesn't become a factor.

Lions tall batting order will have to be patient and must not collapse if they have any chance to win this match. For High Point, their captain Ghias must have support from his crew to get past the traveling Lions.
