Smith, Baker lead big-play Firebirds past Rockingham County in playoffs

BAILEY — Kee’Brion Smith and D.J. Baker both rushed for more than 100 yards and Southern Nash emerged the winner Thursday night in a battle of big plays as the Firebirds defeated Rockingham County 41-25 in the first round of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association Class 5A football playoffs. Southern Nash, the No. 15 seed, improved to 5-6 overall and will play at unbeaten No. 2 seed Northside-Jacksonville (10-0) in the second round next week. The Firebirds used their patented ground attack to amass 310 yards and five touchdowns. The No. 18 seeded Cougars (4-7) got the ball first and had the ball at their own 46 facing fourth-and-eight. They elected to pass, which was incomplete. Southern Nash, in turn, took advantage of the good field position and went those 46 yards in 10 plays, capped by the running of Kee’Brion Smith, Baker and Trey Smith. Baker’s one-yard run made it 6-0 Firebirds with 5:41 left in the first quarter after the extra point hit the right post. Rockingham County came right back to take the lead with a 71-yard drive in seven plays. Elijah Adams hit James Thomas for a 30-yard TD pass, the PAT was good,
