High school NIL grows some in N.C.; local impact remains minimal

Two years ago, some feared that by now, the best player on every high school sports team in America would be getting paid. It was then that a Wake County judge granted an injunction that struck down North Carolina’s ban on high school athletes being able to be paid for their name, image and likeness. Much was made at the time of the importance of establishing a means for high school athletes nationwide to have access to the same deals college kids were getting. North Carolina followed suit with other states, establishing an NIL platform for high school athletes similar to the NCAA’s wide-sweeping changes that allowed outside entities to pay the players who were responsible for generating much of the popularity, exposure and revenue enjoyed by their schools. Since the door was kicked open, high school NIL deals in North Carolina have grown somewhat, but their average payout isn’t much and their reach hasn’t been far. Pitt County this year has one athlete on an NIL deal, a first for the county.

Bear Grass football closes 2026 season

The Bear Grass Charter Bears couldn’t slow down Columbia’s offense Friday night, dropping a 34-14 decision to the visiting Wildcats. The loss is the second straight for the Bears, sliding their overall record to 1-8. Bear Grass had its hands full trying to contain Columbia’s Haun Sykes, who put on a clinic. Sykes needed just seven carries to rack up 154 rushing yards and a touchdown — including a crucial 75-yard breakaway run. He also caught a touchdown pass and finished with 62 yards through the air. While the Bears’ defense managed to intercept Columbia quarterback Ethan Sawyer, Sawyer was otherwise highly efficient, throwing for 179 yards and three scores on just 14 attempts. The Bears end the season 1-8 overall and 1-3 in the Atlantic Conference.
