Perfect 10: Cavaliers double up James River to complete historic regular season

Back in August, Carroll County High School head football coach Seth Greer and his staff expected to field a highly competitive team on the gridiron this fall. Two and a half months later, it would be safe to say the Cavaliers have met those expectations and then some. Carroll County pulled away in the fourth quarter to defeat James River 40-20 in Buchanan, Va. on Friday, November 6, in the process completing the first perfect regular season in program history. The Cavaliers also tied the most wins in a season in program history (regular season and playoffs combined), improving to 10-0. “It’s a blessing,” said running back Hunter Gravley. “This is something I thought Carroll County would never see and I’m just grateful to be part of it.” Gravley ran 76 yards to the end zone on the very first play from scrimmage for the Cavaliers, but this one would not come easy against an opponent with an upset on their minds on their Senior Night. After Blake Reed found Ayden Dickerson behind the defense to make it 16-0 late in the first quarter, the Knights came storming back within 24-20 early in the third period. “Their option gave us

Mount Airy Middle repeats as football conference champion

The Mount Airy Middle School football team put together another dominant season in 2026. The Granite Bears went 7-0 to complete their second consecutive undefeated season, including a 5-0 record in the Foothills Middle School Athletic Conference. Mount Airy finished first in the conference standings, followed by Pilot Mountain at 4-1, Chestnut Grove at 3-2, Southeastern Stokes at 2-3, North District at 1-4 and Central Middle at 0-5. The Granite Bears outscored opponents 230-50. Despite their undefeated season, the Granite Bears faced their share of obstacles, namely injuries. Head coach Choppy Cawley applauded his team’s “next man up” mentality. “We had at least one starter out with an injury in every game this season, which gave lots of guys on our team the chance to step into starting roles and they rose to the occasion,” Cawley said. “They were a great team to coach all around. They play hard, are receptive to coaching and most importantly enjoyed being around each other every day. “This team will be fun to watch in high school as they will surely make some deep playoff runs when they get to varsity.” Cawley is assisted by coaches Jimmy Selba, Andre Nance, Andrew Boles, Bobby Moore,
