Here are the top stories in Mooresville today:

1. With an impressive lineup of players, including 27 seniors, Lake Norman is looking forward to a successful football season this year. According to the Mooresville Tribune, "[Coach Jonathan Oliphant] said, 'If we don’t come out fighting early, we could very well end up being 0-4 and be a good football team. Everyone one of those teams on our nonconference schedule is usually in the playoffs.'" (Subscription: Mooresville Tribune)
