High school football: Three locals advance in playoffs, two ousted

D.H. Conley’s football team bounced back in a big way Thursday. The Vikings scored the first 29 points in a sharp first half en route to a 63-38 victory over East Wake on Thursday in a first-round matchup in the NCHSAA Class 7A playoffs at Hollywood Crossroads. Conley was one of three local winners on a night when five games were moved up a night due to Friday’s wet forecast. D.H. Conley (7-4), the No. 9 seed in the East 7A bracket, advanced to the second round to face No. 8 seed Cape Fear. That matchup is scheduled for Nov. 13 in Vander, just east of Fayetteville. A victory in Thursday’s game was just what the Vikings needed. After starting 6-1, D.H. Conley finished the regular season with losses to New Bern, Jacksonville and J.H. Rose — all of which not only qualified for the postseason but were also seeded high enough to each earn byes in the 6A and 7A brackets. “I thought it was great to get back out here on the winning side,” D.H. Conley coach Nate Conner said. The Vikings’ leading tackler, Ben Herdman, who was a key to the big first half with two blocked

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.”

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,

Philip Rivers Gives NC State Update After Potential End to Six-Year High School Coaching Career

Philip Rivers’ high school season ended Friday night, and the question of what comes next grew louder with it. St. Michael Catholic lost 42-35 to Glenwood in the first round of the Alabama playoffs, and Rivers admitted afterward it might have been his last game on that sideline. Whatever he does next, NC State is waiting. The Wolfpack fired Dave Doeren on October 24, and nearly every report says Rivers is the man the school wants. The game itself was close to the end. St. Michael was tied 28-28 early in the fourth quarter when Glenwood scored and recovered the onside kick. The Cardinals cut it...
