ROCKY MOUNT - Despite its strong history in girls track and field, there was one much-coveted prize that had eluded the Nash Central High School Lady Bulldogs -- a Big East Conference Championship.

RED OAK -- One streak began and another ended last Tuesday afternoon for the host Red Oak Middle School Tigers at the annual Tri-County Conference Cross Country Championships.
Red Oak's girls hadn't claimed the league crown since 2013, but ended that drought by taking home the title with 40 points.
The Lady Tigers' low total easily outdistanced second-place Elm City Middle, which compiled 75 points.

ZEBULON -- Corey Ray drove in Carlos Belonis from first with walk-off double in the 10th inning as the Carolina Mudcats defeated the visiting Frederick Keys 5-4 at Five County Stadium on Sunday afternoon in a Class A Carolina League baseball event.
Ray was 2-for-5 with three RBI, Belonis was 4-for-4 with two runs and Jake Gatewood extended his hitting streak to 17 straight games in the victory.
