Rocky Mount to hosts 47th CIAA championship

The road to the championship leads to Rocky Mount, and the Twin Counties are preparing to welcome a new chapter in collegiate athletics. The Rocky Mount Event Center will hold the 47th Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association Volleyball Tournament, Monday through Wednesday, bringing championship-level competition to downtown Rocky Mount and creating an exciting opportunity for the entire region to showcase its hospitality, businesses and growing presence in sports tourism. Admission to the tournament is free. “The CIAA is thrilled to bring our volleyball championship to Rocky Mount,” said Jacqie McWilliams-Parker, commissioner of the CIAA. “We appreciate the city’s partnership and warm hospitality as we celebrate the incredible talent of our student-athletes and the spirit of CIAA athletics. We look forward to an exciting championship that brings our fans and communities together and creates lasting memories.

Letter: A strategic leader who can make things happen

We hear many negative ads on most candidates running for office. Most of them are only half-truths, maybe not even that much. Let me tell you about my friend, the Rev. James Gailliard, who recently won election in the N.C. Senate District 11 contest. I first met James in 2017, the day after he announced he was running for the N.C. House. I found him in a small office in the bowels of the church. I shared with him a spreadsheet with the breakdown of the voters. I was very impressed with his story. Ten years prior he had 14 members of his church. He raised the money, took an abandoned Home Depot store and turned it into a church that now has more than 3,000 members across the country as well as internationally. He told me his future vision for the church, and 10 years later, his vision has come true with a beautiful, modern sanctuary, a TV control room that allows him to transport his ministry across the globe, a workout facility and classrooms. James has built a modern, growing church. His sermons touch every person in the church, and he calls it like it is. There is

Studio shots, no. 272: the Charles and Eva M. Hines family.

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.”
