RED OAK - Early in the third period, the Northern Nash-Franklinton football game seemed destined to be a down-to-the-wire thriller -- a trend that is becoming fashionable in the suddenly parity-filled Big East Conference.

Kearny fashioned a solid 44 on the challenging layout to help the Firebirds close with 192 strokes -- four shots ahead of runner-up Franklinton.

WILSON -- Nash Central High School head football coach Chris Lee wondered coming in how his young club would fare last Friday against a talented, oversized Wilson Beddingfield squad.
