Bed bug complaints infest school board

Concerned residents confronted the Duplin County Board of Education at the Nov. 5 meeting about bed bugs being found recently at Kenansville Elementary School. Three individuals signed up for public comment to address the board on the topic. Marissa Phipps had several items to address. She started off by stating that she was both nervous and angry as she began addressing the board with her concerns. “This is a big immediate concern. We cannot keep asking our children and staff to report to work to risk bringing it home to our environment and spreading it worse,” she said. “Why not let us go remote, do it for a week, and come back to a clean environment? Yes, we cannot stop it from happening again, but we can stop it from spreading.” She also brought up bullying in schools, stating that it was a major issue. “If you look at the suicide rates in Duplin County, it’s the highest because bullying has not been handled,” she asserted. “Instead it’s being brushed to the side — saying to a child that’s not nice or handing out a stay away agreement. When a child is stuck in a classroom with 30 other kids

County Champs: Rebels claim Obasahan Bowl

CALYPSO — The weight of a 23-year drought evaporated into the breezy autumn air Nov. 4 at H.E. Grubbs Field. Once the clock tripped to zeros, the North Duplin Middle School football team cemented a legacy that will be talked about in northern Duplin County for decades to come. The Rebels penned the final chapter of their unbeaten storybook campaign with a dominating, 46-8 performance over Beulaville during the second annual Dr. Austin Obasohan Bowl Game. The championship trophy is named in honor of the former Duplin County Schools Superintendent, who suddenly passed away in 2025. “Each week, we grew as a team,” ND head coach Kevin Anderson said. “The leaders on this team did a great job of keeping everyone focused and just trying to get better every week. We had a strong group of eighth-graders. They came to work every day and they wanted to be pushed to the best they could be.” Defense became North Duplin’s calling card. Already solid in certain positions, the newcomers quickly learned critical techniques and opposing offenses struggled to find the tiniest open seam. The top-seeded Rebels (8-0 overall) yielded just six touchdowns in 32 quarters of play and logged three shutouts

Wallace-Rose Hill trounces Trinity

WALLACE — Beaten, bruised, banged up. This is not the time to play Wallace-Rose Hill on the gridiron. Hungry to keep the “nay-sayers” silent and continue a tradition established by the late — and legendary — Jack Holley, the Bulldogs looked like a different team last Thursday evening. They felt better about themselves, too. Wallace-Rose Hill ran over Trinity, 68-0, in round one of the NC High School Athletic Association Class 3A football playoffs. The Bulldogs (6-4 overall) continue play Friday at Northeastern Coastal member Pasquotank County. The Bulldogs claimed the program’s 91st postseason win. “I felt like that was the best we’ve executed on offense I know in the last three years as far fundamentals and techniques go,” WRH head coach Kevin Motsinger said. “We had to move a lot of people around because we had six or seven kids who couldn’t play due to being banged up [either] in the James Kenan game or practice during the week.” Motsinger employed a unique practice plan. The Bulldogs worked out Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in full gear. Throughout the season, they’ve struggled to get out of the huddle and snap the ball on time. If a player jumped offsides, the

High school football: Panthers thumped out of 4A playoffs in 48-8 rout by Stallions

BETHEL — Two play-action passes against North Pitt’s defense that went for touchdowns — both on busted coverages — started the downfall for the Panthers’ football team and ended its season Friday. North Pitt never recovered as Southwest Onslow scored 24 second-quarter points en route to a 48-8 victory in a first-round matchup in the NCHSAA Class 4A playoffs at E.R. McNair Field. Southwest Onslow (5-6), the No. 19 seed in the East 4A bracket, advanced to the second round, where it is slated to face off against No. 3 Clinton on Nov. 13 in Sampson County. North Pitt got off to a 1-4 start in the regular season but won four of its last five games in the regular season, the lone loss in that stretch coming by a point to SouthWest Edgecombe in Pinetops. It didn’t see its momentum coming to a screeching halt in a home playoff game. “Just the way we came together in that last five-game run was very special,” North Pitt assistant coach Avery Respass said. “We have a great senior class: Xaden Maldonado, Bralan Wilson, Jayden Patterson, Chris Moore, Wisdom Mason, a lot of these guys come in and work their tails off.”
