Bikes for Blue Jays returns to Littleton this Saturday
One could make a pretty good argument for declaring Littleton the Cycling Capital of Halifax County, at least this month. When cyclists hop on their rides at 9 a.m. this Saturday to pedal from the Littleton Academy parking lot to their chosen routes for Bikes for Blue Jays, it will mark the second major cycling event to touch the town in the past two and a half weeks. Littleton served as a cornerstone stop for the statewide Cycle NC From the Mountains to the Coast Ride on Oct. 7.

Mitchell Oakley: Dink Mills a hero for Ayden's young and old alike
In our small town of Ayden in the late 1950s and early 1960s, many of us young boys grew up with a real-life hero in our midst. It wasn’t youth-inspired idolization. Instead, it was respect — respect for a sports hero who set a solid example of how persistence, hard work and discipline equaled success. Our hero, Dennis Erastus Mills, better known in his hero days in Ayden as “Dinky,” died Oct. 6 at age 84. In fact, Dinky made positive impressions everywhere he went. While known as Dinky in Ayden, he also became known as “Dink,” “Coach” or “Mr. Mills” in his career as a football and baseball coach, a teacher and a principal in the Martin County town of Williamston. Even some of us began calling him Dink in his later years. The first time I heard of Dinky Mills was from my father. He and a neighbor, Morris Hines, enjoyed attending Ayden High School football games together. My father talked about how tough this relatively small running back was. He was impressed about how he ran over people. I was finally allowed to see the football team play in 1961. Dinky was a bowling ball on offense.

Northern Nash dominates Hunt in battle for first place in Big East 5A/6A Conference
WILSON — The battle for first place in the Big East 5A/6A Conference wasn’t much of a battle, thanks to a dominating performance by the Northern Nash defense. The Knights stymied Wilson Hunt and quarterback Mez Harris, limiting the Warriors to a paltry seven yards on 31 plays. A 38-point first half prompted the continuous clock in the second half Friday night as the visitors rolled to a 45-0 victory at Warrior Stadium to stay unbeaten in the league (4-0) while improving to 6-2 overall with their fifth straight victory. Hunt dropped to 3-1 in the conference and 7-1 overall. Hunt ran seven plays on its first drive and picked up 24 yards before having to punt. After that possession, the Warriors ran 24 plays and lost 20 yards and only crossed midfield once — and that was on an interception return. Northern Nash drove 81 yards in nine plays for its first score behind the running of Myles Eatmon, Jamarcus Robinson and Jaice Johnson and a 10-yard pass from Johnson to Kamren Freeman. Robinson’s seven-yard touchdown run and a Caleb Walston extra point made it 7-0 with 5:20 left in the first quarter. A three-and-out gave the Knights the
