Lake Taylor, Norcom Distance Themselves From Pack
In the Eastern District, it’s now Lake Taylor and I.C. Norcom with everyone else trailing. Lake Taylor thumped the upstart Norview Pilots on Friday and I.C. Norcom held off a persistent Granby squad in order to rise to 4-0 in the district, with 5-1 and 6-1 records respectively.
