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
