Philip Rivers' high school coaching record: What NC State is getting

It's official: former NFL All-Pro quarterback and NC State legend Philip Rivers has been named the Wolfpack's newest head coach. While he has no experience coaching at the college level, the former San Diego Chargers and Indianapolis Colts quarterback took over a fairly young St. Michael Catholic (AL) program after his playing days ended in 2021. The Fairhope-area school opened in 2018, and over its first three years, the Cardinals compiled a 6-15 record. Given how the first few years went without him, Rivers' first season at the school was a massive success. The team went 7-2 overall—4-2 in regional play—but did not qualify for the postseason. Year two of Rivers at St. Michael Catholic had its fair share of ups and downs. The Cardinals finished the year 5-5, missing out on postseason play, and had similar results in 2023, finishing 6-5. However, the 2023 season was also the first year the Rivers' son, Gunner, took over as the program's starting quarterback, and he shined. Gunner finished his freshman season completing 63% of his passes for 3,077 yards and 29 touchdowns to just four interceptions. With Gunner leading his dad's team the next year, the program took a step forward,

Drivers complained about fuel quality at 24 Triangle gas stations. What tests found

Consumers complained about fuel quality at two dozen gas Triangle stations recently, and state inspectors found issues at a handful of them. Between Aug. 19 and Oct. 31, customers submitted complaints about 24 stations in Wake, Durham, Chatham and Johnston counties to the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The Standards Division didn’t receive any complaints about Orange County stations during that time. Complaints were made about 20 Wake County stations, two in Johnston and one each in Durham and Chatham, according to records obtained by The News & Observer. In the complaints, drivers reported a variety of issues with their vehicles including: losing power, having difficulty starting; check engine lights turning on; and engines stalling. Some people reported taking their cars to mechanics, who said the cars were filled with contaminated fuel. Inspectors followed up on the complaints and discovered fuel quality problems at five stations, all in Wake County. Tests are conducted at stations and in the lab to ensure that fuel meets the advertised ethanol content, octane rating and other specifications. That way, consumers get what they’re paying for , and don’t inadvertently damage their vehicles with contaminated fuel. Here’s what the tests showed. Fuel

12 North Carolina Restaurants That Know How To Make Biscuits And Gravy Right

One Asheville spot serves cathead biscuits, a name that comes from biscuits roughly as big as a cat’s head. That alone made me sit up a little straighter. Then I learned the same place lets you pick a gravy the way other cafes let you pick a muffin. Another kitchen in Charlotte never closes, so sausage gravy is on the table at 3 AM if you want it.
