Faith Christian School ended up 14th with 353 points.

Junior Auvi Alston finished third in 16:29.61 while senior Benjamin Spain ended up fourth in 16:47.77. RMA’s fifth scorer, sophomore Thomas Vaughn, emerged ninth overall in 17:51.65.

Panthers repeat as ECC champs

DEEP RUN — The younger talent grew up. A core group of experienced and hard-working players accepted their roles and embraced the program’s proven blue-collar system. The result? East Duplin, which lost 16 starters from 2025, repeated as the East Central 3A-4A champion with a 54-0 drubbing of South Lenoir last Friday evening. “The kids bought into what we’re doing,” said ED head coach Battle Holley. “I knew if we kept getting better each week, we’d have a chance. We overcame a lot of injuries early in the year we had to handle.” Holley credited coach Seth Sandlin for the kids’ work ethic in the weight room during the offseason. Veteran coach Brian Aldridge groomed a young offense into a cohesive unit. Their dedication allowed East Duplin to work through adversity, start to peak and keep their reputation as the benchmark program in the ECC. The Panthers blanked a league opponent for the third time this season. Their stifling defense permitted just 27 points in 20 quarters of play. “Everybody to got to play,” Holley said about the ECC finale. “We started off good [and] finished good. Our starters didn’t play the second. We brought some kids up from JV.”

ECU-Temple: The tables are turned

One of the recurring themes about K.C. Keeler’s first two years at Temple in discussing American Conference play is that his view is that there are so many “50/50” games. By that, Keeler doesn’t mean Temple is as good as every team it plays but things like...

From East Carolina walk-on to leading CFL receiver, Tyler Snead continues to earn respect

At just 5-foot-7, Tyler Snead has always known playing football at the highest levels would require mastering the intangibles. Discipline. Attitude. Work ethic. Toughness. Whether it was on Friday nights at Millbrook High, or Saturdays at East Carolina, Snead regularly displayed those characteristics. It helped counteract any limitations his stature presented and propelled him to become a feared playmaker. As the All-Canadian Football League receiver for the Montréal Alouettes preps for another playoff run, following a personal-best regular season, he can’t help but think of the daily lessons learned in Greenville that provided a foundation for his current successes. “Just playing undersize and growing up like that, I felt like I was always tough. And then once I got to ECU … I felt like I had to go in there and show up and show out every day, and get hit,” Snead said this week during a phone interview. “So I never took any of it for granted. I always kind of had to earn my spot, earn my respect, from teammates and coaches.” Getting props wasn’t a problem in his Pirates days, from 2018-21, when Snead went from walk-on to fan favorite. His ECU career ended with over

ECU football: Aggressive play-calling helps ECU win 17-9 over Temple

East Carolina running back Ashton Gray took the direct snap from a wildcat formation, then plowed forward for a five-yard gain. It was a late fourth-down conversion that sealed ECU’s 17-9 home win Saturday over visiting American Conference foe Temple. For Pirates coach Blake Harrell, it was the last aggressive play-call during an afternoon full of them. They were a direct result of back-to-back, what-if overtime losses. The second-year head man was determined not to let an eerie Halloween matchup follow the same script from two straight Thursdays of disappointment. “I think the last two weeks … [were] maybe a little conservative. And today, we wanted to take chances and let our guys know we’re out there to win the game,” Harrell said after his club improved to 4-4 overall and 2-2 in American play. A 13-play scoring drive in which ECU pulled ahead 7-0 on Gray’s first-quarter rush TD was the result of taking chances. Facing a fourth-and-1 from the Owls’ 20, Harrell turned down three points and allowed Gray to pick up the yard. On the ensuing special teams play, Harrell took another chance. He called a surprise onside kick that was initially ruled a recovery by Pirates

ECU Athletics opens Isley indoor practice facility

East Carolina University Athletics on Friday opened the $24.5 million Isley Indoor Performance Center, a 90,000-square-foot, multi-sport indoor training facility. The mammoth building off Charles Boulevard between Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium and Clark-LeClair Stadium will offer a dedicated practice space to meet the training needs of ECU athletic teams and provide an area to host large gatherings, the university said. It was funded by the Pirate Club with help from large gifts by the Isley Family, Bill Clark Homes and the Wornom Family. The Isley name is on the building, and the field inside is named after the Wornoms. Chancellor Philip Rogers said when construction was approved by trustees in September 2024 that the center is a critical and important step in realizing a long-awaited initiative for the athletics department. “It’s really exciting, and obviously it’s going to impact all of our sports teams, and certainly our football program,” Athletic Director Jon Gilbert said in April 2025 when officials broke ground for the facility. “But if you look across all the teams that are mostly outdoors, they’re going to have the opportunity in inclement weather to be able to come inside. So I see all of our athletes training in here, and
