Bed bug complaints infest school board

Concerned residents confronted the Duplin County Board of Education at the Nov. 5 meeting about bed bugs being found recently at Kenansville Elementary School. Three individuals signed up for public comment to address the board on the topic. Marissa Phipps had several items to address. She started off by stating that she was both nervous and angry as she began addressing the board with her concerns. “This is a big immediate concern. We cannot keep asking our children and staff to report to work to risk bringing it home to our environment and spreading it worse,” she said. “Why not let us go remote, do it for a week, and come back to a clean environment? Yes, we cannot stop it from happening again, but we can stop it from spreading.” She also brought up bullying in schools, stating that it was a major issue. “If you look at the suicide rates in Duplin County, it’s the highest because bullying has not been handled,” she asserted. “Instead it’s being brushed to the side — saying to a child that’s not nice or handing out a stay away agreement. When a child is stuck in a classroom with 30 other kids

High school football: Herdman leading big-play Vikings into second round

Given his defensive prowess, it figures that D.H. Conley’s Ben Herdman would know how to exploit an opponent’s weakness — repeatedly. The Vikings’ senior linebacker blocked two punts and added an interception in the first half Thursday in D.H. Conley’s 63-38 victory over East Wake in the first round of the NCHSAA Class 7A football playoffs at Hollywood Crossroads. The win advanced D.H. Conley, the No. 9 seed in the East 7A bracket, to a second-round matchup on the road. The Vikings are scheduled to square off against eighth-seeded Cape Fear, located just east of Fayetteville in Cumberland County, on Friday. Given that Herdman is D.H. Conley’s leader in tackles with 120 — 11 of those for loss — going into last Thursday’s game, it’s not exactly a surprise that he can break down the Xs and Os of an opponent and describe it like a coach who spends countless hours in the film room. “We knew their schematics on punt. We took a lot of time practicing,” Herdman said. “We saw that if we overloaded one side that they didn’t have enough bodies over there, so that’s where we took advantage of it.” One of Herdman’s blocked kicks occurred

Gryphons clip Falcons in first round of NCHSAA Class 5A playoffs

The Gryphons responded with 24 unanswered points. Zamari Knight had scoring runs of three yards (0:30 first quarter) and 15 yards (3:48 second quarter), and Silas Cloer kicked a 36-yard field goal late in the second stanza to give the home team a 17-7 lead at halftime.

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.”
