Midway trips up Wallace-Rose Hill
TEACHEY — An epic clash between legendary prep football programs came down to a gut-wrenching ending for Wallace-Rose Hill on Friday evening. The Bulldogs held a 16-12 advantage with 76 seconds remaining in regulation. Midway answered. NC State football/baseball signee Tanner Williams directed a game-deciding drive that ended with his 27-yard touchdown gallop. Williams’ run capped a come-from-behind, 19-16 victory inside Legion Stadium at Thell B. Overman Field. “We had done a decent job ’spying’ him [defensively],” WRH head coach Kevin Motsinger said of Williams. “We got tight and when you get, that string starts to break. We had guys trying to help people in other areas [of the field] instead of worrying about their own area. “They’ve got the best team in the conference that we will play,” he continued. “They’ve got the tools, very disciplined and they’ve got a mailman back there. He proved why he’s a Division I recruit.” Wesley Tew’s four-yard dive closed the gap to 16-12 with 3:15 to go in the Swine Valley 2A-3A contest. Wallace-Rose Hill stalled on its next possession and punted. The Raiders took over at their own 35 with 1:16 on the clock. The Bulldogs relaxed defending the box and
