ROCKY MOUNT -- An 80-yard punt return and 71-yard rushing touchdown had homestanding North Carolina Wesleyan College's football team in line for a league win last Saturday, but a late surge by Averett University saw the Cougars steal a 38-34 win at Bishops Stadium.
Averett scored 17 unanswered points to open the game, thanks in part to a pair of Bishops turnovers -- the first on downs near midfield and the second on an interception in NCWC territory.

NASHVILLE -- Even before the campaign began, Nash Central Middle School football coach Matt Lancaster thought this could be a special season for his Trojans.
"When we started practice and I saw the work ethic we had, I thought we had a chance,'' Lancaster said. "These guys were very determined and I could tell coming in that they had really matured on the field.''
Lancaster's assessment proved to be correct as Nash Central picked up its first Nash County and Tri-County Conference North Division championships since the Todd Brewer Era earlier this decade with an unblemished 6-0 overall record.

LOUISBURG -- Louisburg College achieved perfection in the men's portion of the Region X Cross Country Championships.

Louisburg even went two steps beyond that by boasting the seven highest finishers -- three of which prepped under Coach Jeff Dodrill at Northern Nash High Schoool.
