KM football's Devin Hopper overcomes fear, flourishes in senior season

For Devin Hopper, there’s nowhere he’d rather be on fall Friday nights than a football field . “It’s amazing, it’s a great feeling,” he said. “Coming out on Friday, seeing everybody (and) the whole community supporting us, giving us energy, filling us (with energy) for the next play. Getting after it all game, it’s a great feeling.” The Kings Mountain senior wide receiver has dazzled this fall, setting single-season career highs with 29 receptions for 671 yards and eight touchdowns. He’s also returned two kickoffs for TDs. Such dwarfs the production of his previous two seasons in which he had 15 total receptions for 146 yards and two TDs. WHO SURVIVES AND ADVANCES?: Second round state playoff preview, picks for Gaston, Cleveland and Lincoln football MOVING ON UP: Why maturity may benefit Kings Mountain football after year taking lumps Hopper's performance has earned him offers from Brevard College and Concord University. “As a coach, you want players like him, both as a football player and as a person,” said Kings Mountain football coach Strait Herron. “We as coaches want to give him every opportunity to have the ball in his hands, because we know he can take it a ways

Granite Bears leave it all on the field against Shelby

Mount Airy’s soccer season ended with a 2-0 loss to Shelby on Nov. 9. The Granite Bears and the visiting Golden Lions played a scoreless first half before Shelby struck early in the second. No. 3 Mount Airy had chances to score but couldn’t convert, allowing Shelby to double its lead with another goal midway through the half. No. 11 Shelby fended off the Granite Bears’ final attacks to secure the shutout and advance to the 3A West regional semifinals. “I’m just heartbroken for the seniors,” Mount Airy coach Cody Atkins said. “They were definitely emotional after the game, and the coaching staff was emotional too. We felt like they gave everything they had and really put their hearts into it. “They really left it all on the field.” Atkins said the Bears played a solid match at every position, which made the loss tougher to accept. “It’s hard to swallow when you play good, make good runs, take good shots, leave it all out there and still come up short,” he said. “We felt like we were the better team, it just wasn’t our night.” Mount Airy (21-5) ramped up its offense in the second half after going down

NCHSAA Round Two State 2A Football Playoff Preview, Cherryville at Alleghany

Cherryville, NC (WNN) - The Cherryville Ironmen will head to the mountains of Sparta, NC, for a second-round playoff matchup at Alleghany High School on Friday, November 13, 2026. The number five seed, Alleghany Trojans, were idle last week after earning a first-round bye. Cherryville, the number twelve seed, is coming off a dominating 63-0 performance at home against Elkin High School. This time of year is what many refer to as the second season, or the real season. Each game matters; simply put, you win, you advance; if you lose, your season is over. Each round, the competition potentially gets tougher as fewer teams remain in contention for the coveted state championship.
