• Kannapolis or Concord will miss out on the American Legion playoffs.
Concord finished the regular season with a 2-6 divisional record. Kannapolis is 2-5 and plays this afternoon at 4 p.m. at Southern Rowan in a makeup of game that was washed out earlier.
A win would put Kannapolis in the playoffs as the No. 4 seed.
A Kannapolis loss would mean Kannapolis and Concord, who split with each other, would go to a tiebreaker for fourth place.
Concord coach Tommy Small indicated Thursday night that he believes Concord will have the edge with Kannapolis on the second tiebreaker — runs allowed in divisional play.
Southern (3-3) also is scheduled to play Stanly (4-3) tonight at 7 p.m. in a game that is likely to determine which of those teams has first-round homefield advantage. Rowan has finished with a 7-1 divisional record and will host Kannapolis or Concord on Monday.
