Mount Airy Middle repeats as football conference champion

The Mount Airy Middle School football team put together another dominant season in 2026. The Granite Bears went 7-0 to complete their second consecutive undefeated season, including a 5-0 record in the Foothills Middle School Athletic Conference. Mount Airy finished first in the conference standings, followed by Pilot Mountain at 4-1, Chestnut Grove at 3-2, Southeastern Stokes at 2-3, North District at 1-4 and Central Middle at 0-5. The Granite Bears outscored opponents 230-50. Despite their undefeated season, the Granite Bears faced their share of obstacles, namely injuries. Head coach Choppy Cawley applauded his team’s “next man up” mentality. “We had at least one starter out with an injury in every game this season, which gave lots of guys on our team the chance to step into starting roles and they rose to the occasion,” Cawley said. “They were a great team to coach all around. They play hard, are receptive to coaching and most importantly enjoyed being around each other every day. “This team will be fun to watch in high school as they will surely make some deep playoff runs when they get to varsity.” Cawley is assisted by coaches Jimmy Selba, Andre Nance, Andrew Boles, Bobby Moore,

NC State's Sigma Nu brothers could face charges. Here's how NC law treats hazing

The doors to an NC State University fraternity will remain closed amid an ongoing probe into serious hazing allegations within the organization, university officials and the national organization said this week. But whether fraternity leaders can be criminally charged hinges on North Carolina’s hazing law — a statute that some experts say contains a more narrow definition in comparison to other states. NC State’s Sigma Nu fraternity has been the target of a weeklong investigation into its alleged hazing of new members, with graphic videos and anonymous reports describing pledges enduring physical abuse, pressured drug use, threats and multiple hospitalizations, according to recent search warrants. In a statement to The News & Observer on Friday afternoon, Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman declined to comment on what specific charges the state could consider against Sigma Nu members, but said officials would “follow the evidence wherever it leads in considering what charges are appropriate.” “State law prohibits activities that are defined as hazing,” Freeman wrote in a message. “Abuse under any circumstances is not to be tolerated. It takes courage for victims to speak out. We take protecting our young people seriously and are committed to a thorough investigation and any

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,

NC House Speaker, other legislators hear how Boost supports students at CCC&TI

Brittany Dula, a student in the medical sonography program at Caldwell Community College and Technical Institute (CCC&TI), quit her full-time job to come back to school. A mother of four, Dula receives financial aid that covers expenses like tuition and books — but her program also requires hundreds of dollars of out-of-pocket, up-front expenses, including shoes and multiple pairs of scrubs. Taking on those expenses without starting the program made her nervous, Dula said, because “you don’t know what you’re getting into.”
