High school football: Rampants top Bears to remain perfect at 9-0
Twice in the second half Friday night, J.H. Rose’s football team let New Bern get within one score of tying the game. Twice the Rampants had answers to keep enough breathing room — and its perfect season — intact. J.H. Rose got off to a fast start and held off the Bears down the stretch for a 36-22 victory Friday night in a Big Carolina 6A/7A Conference matchup at Percy Daniels Field at Farley-Minges Athletic Complex. The victory assures the Rampants of no worse than a share of the BCC crown. “We had to overcome some adversity, but I thought the guys did a good job offensively and defensively,” Rampants coach Will Bland said. “This is a great win.” J.H. Rose (9-0, 4-0 BCC), ahead 20-6 going into the second half, drove 82 yards in eight plays to start the third quarter. The march was highlighted by a 54-yard run by Tyshawn Bledsoe off right end and was capped by a 2-yard plunge up the middle by Bledsoe for a touchdown, his third of the game. Bledsoe finished with 126 yards rushing on just 10 carries. “It was great,” Bledsoe said. “Great game. I just came back from injury, so

Falcons' flag football intercepts four passes in win
The Bertie Falcons snapped a recent offensive slump in spectacular fashion in flag football on Oct. 14, shutting out the North East Carolina Prep Huskies with a score of 31-0. The success came behind an opportunistic defense that forced four interceptions during the game. The blowout victory provided a much-needed rebound for the Falcons, who were coming off a tough loss to Hertford County the week prior. The defense grounded the Huskies. While the offense broke out for 31 points, it was Bertie’s defense that stole the show by completely neutralizing the Huskies’ passing attack. The Falcons did not go easy on the Huskies quarterback, picking off four passes in Wednesday’s game. Chrisette Jasper picked up two of those interceptions herself. Ce’Nyla Jenkins and Naomi Navarro each added an interception to stifle any hope of a Huskies comeback.

Another night, another victory — and another sweep — for D.H. Conley’s volleyball team. The Vikings had little trouble beating Jack Britt 3-0 (25-19, 25-17 and 25-11) in the third round of the NCHSAA Class 7A playoffs Thursday night at Rob Maloney Court at Hollywood Crossroads. The victory extended D.H. Conley’s win streak to 19 matches, dropping only four sets in that span. “When it’s the third round, you know it’s going to be great competition coming in the gym,” Vikings coach Jennifer Gillikin said. “We had a really solid practice yesterday. I felt good about our team. I felt like we were prepared. These girls were super focused. They want to keep moving on.” D.H. Conley (22-1), the No. 1 seed in the East 7A bracket, advances to the fourth round Saturday when it will face No. 5 Chapel Hill, a 3-0 victor over Topsail, at home. The Vikings are looking to return to the state title match for a second consecutive season.
