ROCKY MOUNT -- As a three-spot star, Peyton Langley has been a year-round contributor to Nash Central High School's athletic success during her prolific prep career.
In the fall, Langley has served as a star outside hitter for the Lady Bulldogs' volleyball squad, which has enjoyed an amazing renaissance over the past few years under veteran Coach Heather Thompson.

ROCKY MOUNT -- Jack-of-all trades Todd Brewer has worn many coaching hats during his career, but he's never guided a softball program -- at least on the high school level.

STANHOPE -- Red and blue are the preferred colors inside the Southern Nash High School Gymnasium, but black and gold were en vogue last Wednesday as part of a signing ceremony that featued football stars Dustin Hall and Landen Baker.

RED OAK - The train kept rolling for Northern Nash last Friday night, as the Knights' boys basketball team picked up its 22nd win of the season and improved to a spotless 22-0 on the season with a 79-63 defeat of Big East Conference foe Franklinton.
A highly-anticipated matchup saw the Red Rams bring a 17-2 record into Northern, with the Knights winning the previous matchup at Franklinton on Jan. 6 at a 61-54 margin.

STANHOPE -- Jermia Walker to the rescue.
That's been a common theme within the Southern Nash High School girls basketball program during Walker's storied four-year career as a star point guard.
And it was relived once again last Tuesday as Walker came through in the clutch, helping the Ladybirds escape with a tight 32-31 victory over Bunn in a key Big East Conference showdown at the SNHS Gymnasium.

GREENSBORO -- Admittedly, Bunn High School encountered a happy-to-be here situation at the 2022 Class 2-A State Dual Team Championships as the Wildcats reached heights nowhere near previously imaginable.
During that historic run, Bunn claimed the Class 2-A East Regional title at home to qualify for a state finals matchup with a powerful Bandys club.

ROCKY MOUNT -- When the clubs played earlier in the season, the star-studded Rocky Mount Lady Gryphons soared to an early lead -- and then had difficulty putting away a feisty Franklinton squad in Big East Conference girls basketball action.
FHS stayed somewhat within striking distance during that outing and even had a few chances to come within single digits before the Lady Gryphons tacked on a late cushion to win by 16 points.
