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.”

On Oct. 6, Joan Robinson, Community Engagement coordinator, and five Kittrell Job Corps students participated in Vance County’s National Night Out Against Crime in Henderson. Students demonstrated teamwork and community spirit by assisting with food preparation and serving while engaging with community members and sharing information about Kittrell Job Corps with potential applicants. The event also created valuable career connections, as Robinson spoke with local law enforcement representatives and the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction about employment opportunities for Kittrell Job Corps graduates. These connections further strengthened community partnerships and opened doors for future career opportunities.
