Martin County rallies by Currituck

The Martin County Gators staged a dramatic second-half comeback on Friday night. In doing so, they overcame a nine-point deficit to tip the Currituck County Knights 22-16 in a crucial Northeastern Coastal Conference showdown. A nail-bitter that was driven by a relentless defense that completely shut out the Knights in the second half. The Gators were able to rally in the final two quarters of the game by scoring 14 unanswered points in the final half to escape the Knights with the hard-fought road victory. Currituck gridiron fans had plenty to cheer about early on. The Knights jumped out to a 9-0 lead in the opening quarter. Martin County’s offense was able to find its footing in the second quarter, putting up eight points. Although they were able to do this, they still trailed with a score of 16-8 at halftime after a back-and-forth second frame. Following the meeting in the locker room at half time, the game shifted entirely. The Gators’ defense clamped down, forcing crucial stops and holding the Knights scoreless for the remainder of the night. While the defense was clamping down, the Gators’ offense executed when it mattered most. Martin County was able to tack on

Cyclists put on the brakes at Doodle Bug’s

Anyone who happened to noticed a few cyclists — about 850 of them — pedaling through Bertie County recently were in the midst of the NCSports Mountain to the Coast annual bike ride. Some bike ride it was, covering 454 miles over the seven-day trek averaging 65 to 75 miles per day. The ride may have seemed like downhill since it began at Mount Airy and continued on to Hatteras Island, but it did have its challenges throughout the course knowing what comes down must go back up. The ride between Lenoir and Statesville offered a healthy 12 percent uphill grade. The ride grows yearly. This year, the average age of the riders was 62 years old. The oldest rider was 89 years old and, while some pedaled electric bikes, the majority of riders were traditionalists. The fifth day of the journey brought the riders through Bertie County, pedaling their way from Weldon. The day ended in Edenton. After traveling through Woodland, riders entered Bertie County in Aulander to Hexlena and through Askewville, Merry Hill and, eventually, crossing the Chowan River into Edenton for the night. The Tayloe family offered the riders a Bertie County welcome as the group stopped

Another turnover on downs helped Rocky Mount add to its lead. The Gryphons drove 75 yards in nine plays with Banks scoring from two yards on the first play of the second quarter. Cloer’s PAT made it 14-0 with 11:55 remaining in the half. A fumble recovery by the visitors set up a 17-yard run by Jamari Knight, and Braylen Fox’s two-yard TD run and a Cloer extra point pushed the Rocky Mount lead to 21-0 with 10:50 left in the second quarter. Southern Nash answered with a 68-yard drive in seven plays as D.J. Baker scored from the one-yard line and Brayden Wells
